Ave, Fellow Ascenders, and Welcome!

My name is Marina A. Smirnova. I was born on Sakhalin island (the Far East of Russia), and, over twenty years ago, I made the U.S.A. my home. My journey has been enriched by earning a Bachelor degree in Music Education (Minsk State Pedagogical University, 1996), a Master of Arts degree in Counseling (Central Michigan University, 2003), and a PhD degree in Psychology, with Transpersonal Psychology Concentration (Sofia University, formerly Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, 2013).

As a core faculty member of Saybrook University, I contribute as a transpersonally-oriented Full Professor of Psychology and oversee Consciousness, Spirituality, and Integrative Health Specialization.

Outside of the halls of academia, I apply my intuitive gifts and diverse transpersonal experiences to support adults who are questing for spiritual vitality, fulfillment, joy, and ascension. I help them to re-contextualize, recalibrate, reclaim, repurpose, and fully integrate their reality-shattering, compelling, and deeply evocative spiritual experiences, such as profound dreams, visions and visionary journeys, UFO / ET / alien encounters, and other rich transpersonal phenomena. I am an intuitive, an open-minded presence, a transpersonal mentor and guide, an author, and an alchemist of ascension.

In addition, I have a deep sense of appreciation for and understanding of mystical, esoteric, ancient wisdom, and spiritual traditions and practices of the world.

My heart-centered spiritual art includes:

(1) intuitive spiritual support, guidance, and readings;

(2) transpersonal ways of knowing, ascension mentoring, and spiritual consultation;

(3) extreme, deeply evocative, and visionary transpersonal experiences;

(4) John E. Mack’s transpersonal research on alien encounters and human transformation;

(5) Stan Grof's expanded cartography of the psyche, holotropic states, and Holotropic Breathwork;

(6) C. G. Jung’s transpersonal legacy, Joe Campbell’s heroic journey, and James Hillman's acorn theory;

(7) dreamwork, guided imagery, and the alchemy of ascension;

(8) consciousness calibration work by David R. Hawkins;

(9) the biology of personal empowerment by Bruce H. Lipton and vibrant longevity;

(10) Enneagram;

(11) Gene Keys and Dream Arc (by Richard Rudd);

(12) indigenous traditions and heart-centered spirituality; and

(13) other approaches that engage the inner resources to optimize your soulful sovereignty and spiritual fulfillment and ascension.

My son is a U.S. Army Veteran. I live, blossom, and work in Sedona, Arizona.
