Kaelan Strouse

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.
