About Nicole
Hi there, and welcome. I’m Nicole Feola. I am a Living Astrologies Practitioner, artist and parent raising two young humans, a journey that draws me ever more deeply into the question of how to create a more loving world for the developing child — whether this ‘child’ is a human child or something else, a dream within that wants to be lived out. I facilitate multi-modal (aesthetic, instinctual, intuitive, imaginal, embodied) journeys as a way to attune to the music of the cosmos and bring through more of our wider, wilder nature as we learn, again and again, how to surrender to the dance. I language with the reflecting Sky to help us clarify and articulate knowledge born from one’s own embodied Being, encouraging us to relate to and from the greater beauty and the mystery of who we are.
I live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas in Northern California, the ancestral and current lands of the Nisenan, home to what is called by the land’s original stewards as the ‘Uba Seo (Yuba River), Angkula Seo (Deer Creek), mok’os (manzanita), utim c’a (oak), hanhan (cedar), munmut (mugwort), inimim (pine), kapa (bear), tek tek (red-tailed hawk) and countless more beings that shape and are shaped by the dreaming of and with this land.
Experiential astrology is one way that I continuously learn how to better listen and give back, offering my own dreaming-body — my ears and my tongue, the soles of my feet, palms of my hands and stem cells in my bone marrow — which is also to say, my lineages of story-hearing / story-telling, love, service and regenerative capacities, towards giving more creatures permission, resource and a relational container within which they can be and grow up from the depths of their authentic nature, while also re-membered into wider life cycles, rhythms and wholes.
While I have been a consulting astrologer since 2017, I’ve recently turned my attention and my excitement(!) fully toward the role of ‘Living Astrologies Practitioner’, where I facilitate living experiences of astrological symbolism. In addition to completing Hermes-Hestia Center for Living Astrologies Experiential Astrology Practitioner Program, this practice is deeply shaped by everything that has come before in my life — my work painting murals, studying biology, raising children, tending dairy goats, teaching high school students, playing high-level soccer, coaching youth soccer, making stained glass, beading earrings, training in IFS and Craniosacral Therapy, a decade+ of partnering with flower essences, my Filipino ancestry. These various self-expressions are what have made me available to hearing-feeling-sensing the vastly variegated, intricately complex, polyvalent field of Astrology & Myth.
Thank you so much for being here, for being you, I hope you enjoy exploring the space.
