Jai Guru Dev
जय गुरु देव)
Honoring the divine teacher within and without, I want to honor and give special thanks to my greatest, beloved teachers:
My Dad, Wolfgang, the most beautiful and brilliant man I know, a Transcendental Meditation guru, a true Jnana Yogi, a sweetheart, and a delightful guide on my own journey.
My Mum, Anke, the most creative and deeply caring woman I know, an infinite source of the sweetest love, sensitivity and inspiration, continuously inviting me deeper into my heart.
The Path Of The Dancer is largely inspired by and dedicated to the seemingly last journey we get to share in this form. It carries the frequency of reverence and veneration, celebration and my deepest, eternal love and gratitude.
Wild Heart, Cosmic Dancer, Storyteller
Heart Meets Hearts
Welcome beautiful soul!
My name is Jenny Ocean, and I am delighted that you are here! As Tantra Yoga teacher and spiritual mentor, I am passionate about exploring different states of consciousness, creating spaces for heart-to-heart connection, building and nourishing community, and empowering others on the path of embodied awakening.
꩜ My own path has been unfolding magically over the past six to ten years. I can no longer count the number of times that I have had to let go, surrender, take leaps of faith, make a choice, take a decision, move into the unknown, and trust the unfolding path with every cell of my being as I continue to follow my heart. Realizing and accepting my divine mission helps me feel a deep sense of trust, peace, and purpose – and I am grateful for the sun, the moon, the stars and the many other guides on my journey.
It has become my second nature (Scorpio North Node in Vedic Astrology) to embrace change and impermanence – a constant reminder of the cosmic dance and my life’s purpose – and offering my life in service to the divine over and over has taught me the sweetest, most heartfelt form of devotion and surrender (⇡ Leo / ☾ Virgo / 𖤓 Virgo in Vedic Astrology).
Embodying the highest frequencies
I continue to travel and dance through life as I move between realities and dimensions, and my work is a synthesis of my lived experiences, spiritual insights, my trainings, and studies. The alchemy of experience is the foundation of my work (Serpent in Mayan Cosmology) – perhaps that is why “The Alchemist” has been one of the most important books on my spiritual journey, haha.
I am always learning, reflecting, refining, and continuously moving through cycles of life, death, rebirth, through triggers and crises, and I truly feel gratitude for it all. Life is teaching me well, and I am attaining levels of celebration (Siddhi Gene Key 42) and veneration (Siddhi Gene Key 32) that feel like warm golden rain – a blissful state that encompasses all emotion & tears of joy and liberation.
I am beginning to experience equilibrium, and I feel honored and humbled to hold loving, strong, gentle, and powerful space for growth and evolution. I feel infinitely grateful for the many miracles and wonders the universe bestows upon me, for the many magical gifts of the earth, and the countless beautiful, profound connections and friendships that I am blessed with along the way.
A sacred invitation
My work is an invitation to journey beyond the ordinary, to awaken your power, to connect with your essence, and to embody your highest, most radiant self. As spiritual travel guide and mentor, I will support you, challenge you, encourage you and hold you accountable, I will reflect your light and your shadows with clarity and compassion, and I will genuinely celebrate your light and your beauty each step along the way.
If you feel drawn to this work, if something resonates within your heart, I wholeheartedly extend this invitation to you. It doesn’t matter if you are new or experienced in working with energy – the beauty of mentorship is that I get to meet you exactly where you are. 𓃬
I offer both intimate 1:1 mentorships as well as group journeys in which we benefit of the power of community. In practices, classes, workshops, circles and ceremonies, I hold space for those who feel called to awaken their fullest potential, desire to deepen their practice, or simply long to meet authentically heart-to-heart.
A traveling Tantra Yoga teacher, spiritual mentor, ceremonialist, travel guide, and community architect, I am passionate about heart-to-heart connection, conscious community building, and authentic empowerment.
From Darkness To Light
Self-Discovery & Self-Empowerment
At the beginning of 2020, my Dad initiated me into Transcendental Meditation – and since then, being the wonderful Jnana Yogi he is, we continue to have the most inspiring conversations and discussions about the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Sutras, consciousness, the quantum field, energy patterns, the spiritual and human experience, psychedelics, plant medicines and world politics. It’s amazing.
I also did my first Tantra Yoga training & mentorship with Halo Seronko, who initiated me into Kaishmir Shaivist and Sri Vidya Shakta Classical Tantra lineages as well as the Taoist traditions, and from there I immersed myself in studies, a YinYang / Traditional Chinese Medicine Yoga Teacher training, countless workshops, books, lectures and literature on various traditions and practices from classical to new age.
Spiritual Practice
My daily practice was my anchor and absolutely essential in moving through the breakdown and transforming it into a breakthrough. Dance, Yoga, meditation, journaling, womb work, mirror work, time in nature, somatic movement, running & cycling, exquisite self-care and doing all the things for, by and with myself was the most beautiful, healing and enlightening experience. Focusing completely on myself gave me space to build the foundation of a very deep, honest, loving and compassionate relationship with myself.
I began to explore all aspects of my being – mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually. I re-discovered my self, my values, desires, passions, strengths, skills, I shifted my mindset, I practiced exquisite self-care and self-pleasure, nourished my body and my spirit. Dance helped me to feel, express and transmute emotions, to alchemize shadow into light, to meet myself deeply, and to love myself unconditionally. Through breath work I experienced deep somatic release and waves of self-forgiveness in my cells. The whole journey was so beautiful – moving through grief, overwhelm, confusion, exhaustion, anger, fear, rage, sadness. relief, gratitude, joy. It was ecstatic, blissful, deeply tantric.
The Dancer ꩜ I will forever remember a wonderful evening of dancing and meeting so many different past versions of myself. I had a profound visual and somatic experience, experiencing the power of compassion as self-love on a cellular level. Magical. The profound acceptance and integration of my past allowed me to become fully present with myself in the now.
Searching For Purpose
Moving forward, I was experimenting with different tools and modalities – Ikigai, Astrology, Human Design, Gene Keys, Design Your Life – and exploring different courses. I was trying really hard to figure out what to do with my life, until I realized I was forcing too much. So I decided to let it go and to simply focus on my health and recovery for a while.
I spent hours in the park just watching my favourite ducks with the biggest smile on my face and joy in my heart (Reiherenten… probably the cutest animal in the world), meditating and observing how the world around me was in constant movement. Some of the meditations were really profound and interdimensional. I took time to smell all the flowers, hug trees, cycle through the countryside for hours, and would randomly start singing and dancing in the streets.
Two weeks passed since the decision to let it go, and then my new job came by itself. This experience taught me how manifestation works: being clear on your intention, and then letting it go. Creating spaciousness so things can manifest, and being open to how they do.
Taking leaps of faith: Stepping into the flow of life
In early 2022 I felt that it was time to fully embark on my journey, to leave Germany and my old life behind. I started to receive visions and actual felt-sense experiences calling me South. I felt the pull of my heart, and beyond that, I felt a longing in my soul. I began planning a roadtrip to Spain and Portugal – Own Spirit & Boom festivals – and then, one day, I was ready, I took a deep breath, and sent off the cancelation notice for my apartment.
The Traveler ꩜ I sold almost everything I owned so I could move more freely, and while my life already felt quite magical at that point, looking back the decision to up and leave was probably my first quantum leap. Life began to unfold in miraculous ways. And there’s a few things I want to highlight here:
꩜ Detachment: The willingness to let go of everything I had known and identified myself with up until that point – old job, relationship, home, country, belongings, old ways of being – afforded me the freedom to move in any direction. Not having much to hold on to brought me into deeper presence, an acute awareness that I get to choose which way to go, and that every choice will alter the course of my life. It’s also comforting to know that there’s no wrong choices, only detours and lessons.
꩜ Attunement & Resonance: The mind usually craves safety and looks for the known. The heart desires freedom; it is mysterious and will always lead us into the unknown. Stillness and presence make it so much easier to attune to the subtle voice within, to discern between the anxious energy of the mind and the deep resonance of the heart. It’s beautiful to know that the more we practice listening to and acting on our intuition, the stronger it becomes. My heart is usually so loud and clear, it’s hard to not hear it hahaha 𓃬 aaand still, sometimes the mind gets me! Ask me about my India/Costa Rica story. That also includes a great example of how what’s meant for us will come to us.
꩜ Spaciousness: The more spaciousness we create in our lives, the more room there is for the new. That includes people, places, thoughts, things.
꩜ Fearlessness: Osho, one of my teachers, has a beautiful book on courage. Therein, he describes how fearlessness means facing your fears and consciously choosing not to give them power.
꩜ Integration: It takes time to integrate new states of being. This helps you to become a vibrational match for your new reality. I somehow always seem to need three days to integrate life-changing news and events. This becomes increasingly important when we move into the quantum field where shifts can happen instantaneously, because it really is a matter of stabilizing energetic states.
꩜ Trust: Trust starts within – trusting that we are able to move with whatever life has in store for us. I have gone through some more extreme experiences in order to truly try and test this for you, just to be sure, hahaha. Ask me about stories from Guatemala and Costa Rica!
A long story short: At the first festival, I met my future room mate as well as my future lover. Two months later, I moved to Ibiza. Another two months later, my heart spoke again, loud and clear, and I knew that it was time to quit my job and focus on the new life, new country, new relationships in front of me – and more than anything, to manifest the vision in my heart.
Embracing Fearlessness
While the intimate connection I have with my heart is really helpful in terms of trust, that was definitely the biggest test of courage for me yet. Quitting my job – a really great one that I loved – meant letting go of my income, the money that secured my survival. This is Root Chakra level – safety, security, survival – so imagine the level of trust required to take the leap.
It took me a month. During this month, an interesting idea started to form… that same day and place in Mallorca, after my heart had spoken, my beloved and I both received an aura reading. It came with a full report on our current energetic state – chakras, frequencies, aura colors and more. We were both fascinated, and somehow started playing with the idea of doing something similar. I’m shortening the story here as much as possible, but on the lines of fearlessness I’d like to share a poem that came through in September 2022.
Dancing with fear
When fear grips your heart,
Let it be
And instead of pushing it away
Make some space,
And touch it
How does it feel?
Does it feel like your heart is shrinking in your chest?
I find it more difficult to breathe
But I breathe
I take a deep breath in,
Then another one out
Another one in
And a deeper one out
Deep breathing is one of the easiest and most effective ways to regulate our nervous systems,
which is essential to self-regulate our emotions
When fear grips your heart
Get curious
And instead of distracting yourself
Look at it
When and where does it arise?
Can you recognize your patterns?
Can you identify the roots of your fears?
Practicing curiosity will help you to stay grounded and centered, it will help you to use your fear as a guide,
a teacher that is taking you deeper into yourself.
When fear grips your heart
Stay open
And instead of fighting it
Listen to it
What is it telling you?
When you decide not to listen but to jump anyway, you may be courageous – or silly.
But either way, you’re not really receiving the gift.
When you recognize your fears as a pointer, as a gift, you open yourself to the wisdom
that will eventually lead you home to your self.
Life has a way of testing our resolve sometimes,
and it provides opportunities for us to see how far we have truly come.
When you invite your fears in
to meet them, consciously face to face
Let yourself be filled by them, move with them, and then let go
You’ll start to become fearless
More integrated, more whole
And suddenly, you are free
Self-Realization
A few months later, my beloved and I co-created a business together (my first business!) – offering aura + energy readings, working with the chakras to facilitate personal and spiritual growth. I went even deeper into the world of energy, frequency, vibration. My lover and I both went on an intense, beautiful, transformative journey together, that hugely inspired our work, and then A Journey Through The Chakras started coming through for me. A synthesis of my work and my own experience. The relationship didn’t last, but AJTTC was born out of it, and became a wonderful success.
Root Chakra Activation in Costa Rica
After leaving the relationship, I went to Central America, and from there on, everything changed. All of a sudden, one dream after the other came true: I started teaching regular Yoga classes, facilitating workshops and ceremonies in different retreat centers, at events and even festivals, wonderful relationships entered my life, old ones evolved, I experienced whole new dimensions of love. I moved on to Costa Rica, where I had an extremely powerful experience clearing deep karmic imprints from my root chakra and breaking through an ancestral pattern.
꩜ In the weeks following my Root Chakra Activation, I experienced a golden wave – I was in an absolute flow state, I felt so much inspiration, joy, abundance, it was wonderful. And then, my heart started to call me back. I felt that it was time to go back to Europe, and so after 7 months in Central America, I went back.
A lot has happened since then, and the journey continues to unfold.
AJTTC is moving through an evolution, and The Path Of The Dancer is being birthed.
My Personal and Spiritual Journey
I had my first spiritual awakening in 2015 at Hariharalaya, a Yoga & Meditation retreat in Cambodia. (About a year after my first Vipassana and my first LSD experience)
After 7 days of no substances or smoking, all vegan food, and daily Yoga and meditation, I felt huge resistance on the last day, and almost skipped the evening meditation. I still went, and thank god because I experienced my first “psychedelic meditation” (which taught me that resistance often comes right before a breakthrough – and the power of stretching my mind beyond its comfort zone):
Changing visions lead to a deep epiphany about the interconnectedness of life and death, and I was able to consciously witness how, the second my mind started to come online to put words or concepts to the experience, the latter started to fade. Fascinating!
My first (recalled) connection to the depths of inner knowing and wisdom far beyond the mind, a profound realization and experience. As a reminder, I got the Unalome tattooed on my right masculine side wrist – a Sanskrit symbol representing the path of enlightenment. (Before that, I got ॐ tattooed on my left feminine side wrist. Which is funny, because really psychedelic trance dance has been my first spiritual path.)
Dark Night Of The Soul
Upon returning to Germany, I went back on the birth control pill – which unknowingly caused me to be very disconnected from myself and my femininity – and, while influenced by some toxic relationships, I chose to study the darkness in the world while everyone else around me focused on product placement.
Those four years were intense – the more I deconstructed what we are told about reality, dove into the collective unconsciousness and explored the shadows of our collective psyche, the more alienated I felt from those around me, including my then-partner. I felt extremely alone during that time.
Around 2019, my inner voice was screaming at me, and I finally realized I had to change. I stopped taking hormonal contraception which changed everything, and went on to work with another therapist/mentor for about 1.5-2 years who helped me immensely to process everything that naturally came up after 12 years of artificial hormones (= disconnect from self) as well as the toxicity in my environment. In 2020, I finally came clean in many ways. Ironically, at the same time, the world just went completely mad altogether, which added a whole new dimension of stress and challenge to the process.
All of it lead to the end of my 4-year relationship – a profound death portal that took me all the way to my core wounds, and it was amazing. Finally feeling connected to my self again, being supported by my mentor, and moving into my own place again, I suddenly had everything I needed to process deeply and integrate in the most healthy ways. However, I soon realized that I was still very much in the system I rejected, now working a 9-5 in an agency where I felt like I was wasting life force energy making meaningless money.
And with everything I was simultaneously processing mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, I burnt out.
Shadow Work, Collective Consciousness and Communities
After traveling Australia and South East Asia for about 1.5 years, I returned to Germany in 2016 and spent 4 years studying the darkness in the world: surveillance systems, socioeconomic power structures, political corruption, propaganda, authoritarian systems, revolutions and social movements, media manipulation, transhumanism, neoliberalism, neocolonialism, late-stage capitalism, the construction of reality, systemic oppression and exploitation, ecosystem destruction, greenwashing, shrinking spaces, and so on. Pretty intense.
At the end of that process, in 2020, I started to spontaneously receive the first visions of community, light grids, and alternative ways forward. Those visions of community and light came to me through meditations and moments of silence. Up until that point, I hadn’t really studied communities (only the EcoSystem of Social Change).
I want to highlight that,
Awareness is the foundation of transformation. Awareness illuminates the unconscious, the unseen – it allows us to see, become conscious as we expand and shift our perspective, so we reclaim the power of choice. The more aware we are, the more we can consciously choose differently. This highlights the importance of shadow work – both on an individual and collective level.
꩜ Each individual person “doing the work” (individual + collective shadow work) contributes to the collective rising of consciousness. Once awareness is built, transformation requires aligned action. Integrity is the bridge between knowing and being, between realization and embodiment. It is the commitment to living in alignment with our highest truth, to walking the path we speak of, and to holding ourselves accountable in every moment. It is one of the essential pillars of the Golden Age.
꩜ Observing, analyzing and becoming aware of the underlaying structures of society provided me with the foundational awareness that now helps me see more clearly where we are still reproducing, for example, repressive neocolonial and patriarchal structures in “conscious communities” – which are still very present!
