Hi there, and welcome. I’m Nicole Esclamado Feola. I am an animist astrologer, 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, some dream within that wants to be lived out. I attend to the felt-sense and facilitate art-making 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, ‘Living Astrologies Practitioner’ is a more fitting title for the work I do now, which is facilitate living experiences of astrological symbolism. In addition to completing Hermes-Hestia Center for Living Astrologies Experiential Astrology Practitioner Program, my practice is also shaped by this place of the Sierra Nevada Foothills, the archipelagic consciousness of my Filipino ancestors, a formal education in Biology, training and practice in Internal Family Systems, Craniosacral Therapy, a decade+ of partnering with Flower Essences and, last but not least, an ever-deepening love for the living breathing Earth and her creatures.

Thank you so much for being here, for being you, and I hope you enjoy exploring the space.
