Kaelan Strouse is a spiritual guide, author, and teacher dedicated to helping others rediscover their Ecstatic Self—a life brimming with joy, authenticity, and connection to the divine. Since 2008, Kaelan has guided individuals through meditations, coaching, and transformative practices, blending ancient wisdom with modern insights to inspire deep, soulful growth.   A seven-year residency in a meditative ashram shaped Kaelan's approach to spiritual exploration, alongside his study of diverse traditions such as Tantra, animism, and mystical Christianity. His books— Journey to the Ecstatic Self, I Dreamt of Flight, and 48 Gateways to the Ecstatic Self —offer practical tools and profound reflections for personal transformation. Through his teachings and nearly a million followers online, Kaelan encourages seekers to embrace their light, dance with their shadows, and embody the vastness of their being.   Kaelan lives in Washington, DC, with his husband, Anthony, their two dogs, one cat, and more plants than he dares count. When not creating heartfelt content or leading transformative retreats, you'll find him wandering through nature, curled up with mystical books, or practicing rituals that connect the cosmos to the everyday.
