About

My inner knowing and curiosity have led me to the gateway of exploring a different paradigm of living. A liminal space where what we perceive to be dream-like fantasies emerge into reality. 

I first experienced this with the ease I feel within my body and with other bodies, merging and separating in reverence and innocence as sacred space, a sensation that kept bringing me back to my mother tongue of touch; a potency that creates an alchemical bridge between mind, body, and spirit.

Early on, I sensed a deep wisdom in the current of eros as it moved through my body. It intersected with color and vivid dreams seated at my core. I longed to feel continually connected to both and later understood that I could.

I became fascinated with the information presented to me in dreams. These worlds, while asleep and awake, became alive and part of a continuous reality to me. I delved into embodiment through movement, meditation, and touch, and noticed my intuition becoming more and more clear. I allowed myself to lean into this with trust and words and visions fled through the current. The wisdom I sensed early on, revealed a journey rich with experiences infused with both pleasure and pain.

Background

Madeleine Michal is a global citizen, creative creature, and artist at heart. An Intimacy educator, Reiki practitioner, SoulCollage facilitator, and holds a BFA in Fine Arts & Developmental Psychology and an MA in Art Therapy & Clinical Psychology/Mental Health Counseling.

Her life’s work and soul calling has always been in support of authentic expression through finding attunement in our body’s voice and vibration. She is passionate about reaching layers hidden behind cultural shame, fear, trauma, grief, and resting at the core of our inherent creative power - life force - the sacredness and wisdom of eros. 

Transitional points in our soul’s path, facilitating ritual to honor them and sink into transcendence, are where Madeleine Michal feels most at home. She feels that acting as a conduit for healing through our energy body, tapping into intuition through creativity, and exploring pleasure and connectivity of the physical body through touch, are all a part of arriving at the remembrance of the divine that resides in our body. 

She is committed to her own ever evolving deep personal inner work and being of service to the collective as a vessel for healing. She is forever a student - learning - grateful for grounding and expansion from teachings and mentors who led her to nourishment through Intuitive art making, Somatic embodiment, Meditative states, activating the sacred feminine through dance and ritual, Vajrayana Tantric Buddhism and Tibetan Bon Dzogchen traditions. Finding her way back to re-explore her ancestral roots, practices, and rituals in Sephardic and Ashkenazi Judaism and Mysticism. 

Madeleine Michal has been accompanying people through depth processes for the past 22 years. She arrived at the offering of private sessions, ritual, and workshops with focus on somatic embodiment and intuitive expression 10 years ago with rich experiences as a working artist, professor, art psychotherapist, and roles in complex structured businesses and institutions in the art, higher education, health care, and the feature film industry.
