Embodied Spirituality 

for The New Earth we are Bulding

Embody Your Spirituality & Discover Your Elemental Medicine.

Ready to build the New Earth?

The world doesn't need more spiritual seekers escaping reality—it needs embodied dreamers who can manifest change through their physical presence.

With Embodied Spirituality, we are building a movement where we:

  • End the war between our mind and body

  • Discover our unique elemental signature and the medicine we can offer

  • Transform spiritual bypassing into grounded, embodied wisdom

  • Become a vessel for the divine frequencies needed to create the New Earth

This is you invitation to reclaim the wisdom your body has been trying to share with you all along.

Hello!

My name is Mariela Pérez-Simons, MFA, MDIV.

I have spent over 50 years collecting sacred wisdom, and I hold two master’s degrees:

  • A Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, which allows me to guide you through your sacred story, using narrative and self-expression as tools for self-discovery & healing.

  • A Master of Divinity, where I delved into ancient wisdom traditions, spirituality, and the connection between the divine, the human experience, and social systems.

In addition to my academic background, I’ve studied astrology and Human Design for over 10 years and have trained extensively in somatics and the nervous system.

But my understanding of these existential issues goes beyond the classroom and certifications. I, too, have traveled on the path from Soul Loss to Soul Recovery. As a survivor of PTSD, I know firsthand the pain of feeling disconnected from your body and your purpose. I know how overwhelming it can feel to search for meaning and direction in a world and a body that feels fragmented.

I invite you on a journey toward finding meaning and purpose in your life. I invite you to Rise with Dignity, using astrology & Human Design.

The Sacred Story Written in your DNA

With the help of Human Design and Astrology, this works illuminates the cosmic blueprint that was encoded in your body during conception; and it’s like a sacred story.

This work helps you find:

  • Your unique energetic signature and how to honor it

  • The wisdom held in your body’s natural resistance and flow

  • Your role in the greater cosmic dance

  • Practical tools for following the guidance of SHE in daily life

  • Your personal pathway to energetic sovereignty

Building The New Earth

I am here to help co-create a New Earth
where our spiritualities value wisdom of the body & the nervous system;
a New Earth where each person’s natural rhythm and “voice” is honored and expressed,
as an expression of nature herself.

My journey of healing and liberation truly began when I recognized that the endless chatter of the mind could only take us so far. In fact, my mind was out of control, sabotaging my healing and growth.

I began healing when I learned to respect my body’s wishes, and I reconnected with SHE (chi/qi) my precious energy, my natural currents, my original medicine, my sacred flow.

The social systems of oppression we’ve had for thousands of years have ignored SHE;
they have diminished, shamed, and oppressed SHE; and yet, SHE is rising.

Without SHE, my body would be a corpse.

I need SHE to create The New Earth,
and to do so with universal harmony.

My body, like yours, is a sacred instrument tuned to the timeless rhythm of universal intelligence, the same life force that orchestrates the celestial dance of planets and stars.

COSMOS = ORDERED BEAUTY = HARMONY.

Using the transformative tools of Human Design and Astrology, I was able to rediscover SHE
and to set her free.


My mission is to empower you to move back into your own natural flow, to return you to your original beauty.

I invite you to join me on this journey of healing, creativity, and evolution.

Want to work together? Want to collaborate?

Are you Curious?

Being human is hard.

Your soul carries stories—of pain, joy, struggle, and resilience—that long to be heard.

Sometimes we need someone to listen with empathy, and sometimes we need to become that compassionate listener for our own inner parts.

Here, your story is met with understanding, not judgment, not shame.

In our safe, sacred space together, we will:

  • Gently listen to what your soul is communicating

  • Honor the wisdom of your Psyche

  • Cultivate an empathetic Inner Witness who can say: "That makes sense. I remember."

This is the path to true healing and harmony.

Methaphors that Heal

This work explores the role of metaphors for navigating the lay of the land of the human psyche.

What Does Your Inner Struggle FEEL Like?

Do you feel like you're:

  • Stuck in an endless loop

  • Trudging through thick, heavy mud

  • Spinning in circles, burning energy without progress

  • Standing at the edge of a cliff, yearning to leap but frozen by uncertainty

These aren't just metaphors—they're energetic truths your body, mind, and soul are revealing.

This work is about breaking those loops, finding momentum, and rediscovering your inner power.

Metaphors are the language of your inner world, and when you learn to engage with them, you unlock:

  • Clarity

  • Liberation

  • New possibilities

    Here, you'll discover tools to:

  • Heal deep patterns

  • Step into your sovereignty

  • Rewrite your life's story

  • Create the reality your heart & soul truly desire

Your path forward is already within you—waiting to come alive.

Healing the Layers of Freeze in the Mind/Body/Psyche

A Return to Lushness

We live in a world that causes us to harden, to become shell-shocked…

It’s like layers of freeze
take over the landscape of our mind/body/psyche.

But beneath the layers of tension, there’s a softer, freer, more relaxed YOU.

This is your invitation to return to lushness—to restore, recover, and reclaim your authenticity and the power of your vital life-force energy.

What if your body could breathe softly again, feel safe again, and open you to new possibilities for joy, creativity, and deep satisfaction?

This is

The Great Defrosting

of the Human Mind/Body/Psyche

Individually & collectively

we are moving from Fear & Freeze to Freedom & Flow.

This is a whole movement toward building

The New Earth.

This is

Spirituality

for the Nervous System

to alleviate Suffering and Expand Human Consciousness

My framework for
healing, liberation, & reality-creation
incorporates aspects from:

• Narrative Psychology | Metaphors
• Somatic Inquiry
• Inner-Child Work
• Neuro-Linguistic Programming
• Self-Attunement
• Breathwork & Movement
• Astrology, Human Design, Gene Keys

You are like a tree, and life wants to help you grow and bear fruit to benefit your community/ecosystem. You just need to remove the layers of freeze over the tree of your body.

My Academic Credentials:

• Master of Divinity / World Religions (Meadville Lombard Theological School)

• Master of Fine Arts (Bennington College)

• Chaplaincy Training (Wake Forest University)

My Worldly Credentials:

I am a survivor of PTSD, Soul Loss, extreme poverty, and various forms of oppression.

I was born in Cuba and at age 21, I came to the United States as a political refugee with only the clothes on my back and a small red backpack with photos and documents. Life as a young single mother in a new country (where I didn’t even know the language) brought many challenges, but it was also a rich fertile ground for my growth/evolution.

I was also always very intellectual and spent much of my life in libraries, but in that process, I abandoned my body (self-abandonment).

Midlife arrived like a storm, causing severe damage to my “tree” (my body and nervous system). It’s a miracle I survived! Through the trauma, I lost everything, including my VITALITY.

During my recovery, however, I gained profound wisdom and skills from the top fields in healing, such as: Somatic Inquiry, Nervous System Support, Energy Work, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Depth Psychology, and Psychedelics.

I now use these tools to support you in restoring your tree back its VITALITY, ALIVENESS, and PURPOSE.

My Astrological & Human Design Credentials:

Astrology: Capricorn Sun | Leo Moon | Taurus Rising

Human Design: 5/1 Sacral Generator | Cross of Cycles (54/53/32/42)

Reclaim your Original Medicine

Heal Yourself, Heal the World

A Sacred Business Model

My business (under RevMariela or Rogue Reverent)
is a sacred enterprise, a commitment to supporting
the evolution of life on this planet.

It’s a sacred business because I believe that everything in it is sacred.

Each creation is sacred.
Each interaction is sacred.
Each dollar is sacred.

Sacred is also every ounce of my energy that goes into it,
so I engage in this enterprise in a way that supports and expands my own lifeforce,
instead of extracting from it.

I work with many people, but in particular I work with those
who want to find their original medicine, to give of their energy as a gift to the world. 

Many of the people who arrive at the doors of my Sacred Business
are altruistic humans who want to create life (and art and money)
but ethically, soulfully, beautifully, & sustainably.

A business, like a piece of art, is a creation,
just like a baby is a creation that takes time, love, and energy to nurture to her full growth.

A business, like LIFE herself, is a creation, and it’s SACRED.

Searching for

that Something Larger

Seeking the existential comfort from knowing we are not alone. That has been part of my journey of 50 years. I was looking for something that would make sense to both my mind and my body.

As an adolescent and teenager in Cuba, I attended a boarding school in the countryside, and my days started early (to go work in the fields) but before heading out, I would often gather with friends on the basketball courts in the cool, dark mornings, staring up at the stars.

I was obsessed with Greek mythology then, and with the planets, feeling a deep sense of awe and wonder for the expansiveness of the stars.

Most of us in that school were extremely poor in the material sense but rich in many other ways.

I would say that I miss those days, but those days are back, as my family moved to the countryside and we can now once again nourish our souls with that expansive beauty, awe, and wonder from mother nature and the stars.

Being Spiritual

Being spiritual, for me, is about sensing that everything around us carries spirit.

It's about recognizing the sentience and intelligence of the larger forces at play, from the energy of the Earth Mother to the celestial bodies. The planets in our solar system are not just masses floating through space; they are living intelligence influencing life on Earth, as everything is interdependent in the universe.

This understanding is ancient, known deeply by many of our ancestors. Humans have kept precise records of the stars and their influence for thousands and thousands of years. And and I believe that reclaiming and applying this wisdom is the key to building the New Earth we are committed to building.

As we reclaim these ancient teachings, we are stepping into a new spirituality that heals our existential crisis.

This form of spirituality offers us the wisdom to calm the pressure of the ego mind, to soothe and nourish our nervous systems, and to find existential comfort in knowing we are not alone in this journey.
