GUIDES
Anne Marie Vivienne
Anne Marie is a Nature Therapy Guide, Ceremonialist, and Celtic Wisdom Guide. She grew up in a chaotic home heavy with generational trauma, and found refuge among the trees in the mountains near her home. Her longing for a Home deeper than time led her to devote herself to cultivating a true and joyful relationship with Nature, land-based traditions, the rhythms of the seasons, Celtic ritual, ceremony and myth, and poetry.
Anne Marie works with individuals to establish their own spiritual practices and rituals as they come home to themselves in the natural and unseen worlds. She guides people through some of their darkest moments to their inner hearth–she is a “midlife midwife,” attending to people as they rebirth their truest selves. As a Nature and Forest Therapy Guide, she invites each person to renew their very real and substantial relationship with the more-than-human world. She also gathers small groups for traditional Celtic solar and lunar festivals to teach participants about celebrating life, death, and rebirth.
She is currently studying and practicing the Keen, the Irish lament for the dead, and training to become a Druid Bard–an ongoing deep exploration of her graduate studies in English Literature and Poetry at Oxford, University where she received her Master’s through Middlebury College in 2013. She writes by day, guides by night, and is a friend of the Trees. She splits her time between Salt Lake City and Park City in the mountains of northern Utah.
Jason Mulligan
Jason is a Soul-centric Guide, Master Sattva Yoga & Meditation Instructor, and Visionary. He is a Combat Veteran of the Iraq War, an experience so devastating and fragmenting that it brought a nearly life-ending despair. The whisper of Soul guided Jason back to his heart through immersive teacher training in Sattva Yoga, an integrated Himalayan Kundalini-based yoga practice from the Babaji Lineage of Paramahansa Yogananda.
Jason is the Founder of Ancient Codes, a coaching practice focused on guiding people into an intimate relationship with themselves and the natural world through evolutionary yogic techniques and nature-based mentoring. Jason’s work uniquely fuses the timeless practices of tea ceremony, meditation, kriya & kundalini yoga, and sacred rituals, including fire ceremony. He draws from his study and experience in Internal Family Systems, trauma-informed somatic psychology, eco-philosophy, and immersive Quests facilitated by the Animas Valley Institute.
Jason currently serves as President of Eurofins Botanicals Inc., a leading natural products analytical testing laboratory. He is an engineering graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and an MBA from Oxford University. During his ten years of service, he earned the Bronze Star Medal and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement medal with “v” (valor) for his leadership on the battlefield. Jason teaches in New York, Los Angeles, and online. He and his wife, Mikaela, and children Sage (9) and Maudy (6) reside on Long Island, NY.
