About Chloë
Spiritual Director
& Ceremonial Guide
Spiritual Direction Rooted in Living Earth Traditions
Chloë Rain is a spiritual director and ceremonial guide whose work is grounded in long-term apprenticeship within living earth traditions.
For more than fifteen years, she has trained in ceremonial practices from two living traditional medicine paths, one in North America and one in South America. She has a Master’s degree in Indigenous Studies from the Arctic University of Norway and is a certified Native American Healing Arts Practitioner.
Her approach bridges ancestral wisdom and contemporary life, offering grounded containers for individuals navigating profound life transitions, spiritual maturation, and periods of deep personal change.
A Life Reoriented
Before stepping fully into this work, Chloë spent nearly fifteen years in the corporate world. From the outside, her career as a project manager for hotel development appeared lucrative and successful. Internally, something essential was completely misaligned.
Being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease with significant health challenges forced a reckoning with the life she had constructed. If the life she was living made her feel like she’d rather be dead, then the she had to change the way she was living. Instead of listening to the fated diagnosis she chose to reorient her life entirely.
What began as a search for healing and meaning became a long apprenticeship in ceremonial practices and traditional earth-based frameworks for emotional and physical wellbeing.
The Long Path of Initiation
Her search led her to sacred landscapes — the high Andes of Peru, the Amazon Jungle, the ancient stone circles of Western Europe — and eventually to live in the Arctic Circle of Northern Norway.
While living above the Arctic Circle for four years, she completed a Master of Philosophy in Indigenous Studies at The Arctic University of Norway.
Her graduate research, The Concept of Sacred in Sápmi, examined how relationships to land and sacred cosmology continue to be valid and significant reasons for wilderness, clean water, and resource protection.
Living above the Arctic Circle reinforced a deep humility and responsibility required to carry traditional knowledge with integrity.
From the Arctic Mountains to the Aegean Sea
Chloë’s life has unfolded between striking landscapes — from the Arctic mountains and fjords to the islands of the Cyclades in the heart of the Aegean Sea.
She now lives on the island of Tinos in Greece, where wind, mythic landscape, and sun shape the current season of her work.
If the North taught endurance and perspective, the Aegean has refined her work into integration — quieter, distilled, and deeply intentional.
From this island ground, she offers spiritual direction, private immersive retreats, and long-term mentorship for those navigating meaningful thresholds.
Her Work Today
Chloë works with those standing at thresholds — endings, transitions, spiritual maturation, or the quiet but undeniable sense that life is asking for deeper alignment.
She does not offer quick transformation or spiritual performance. Instead, she holds grounded containers where shadow can be integrated, cycles consciously completed, and new chapters entered with clarity and responsibility.
Her work bridges ancestral wisdom with contemporary life through spiritual direction, ceremonial mentorship, and immersive retreat experiences.
Writing
Alongside her mentorship and retreat work, Chloë is completing a spiritual memoir exploring the tension between the life we imagine for ourselves and the life that ultimately claims us.
Her writing reflects the same grounded inquiry that informs her spiritual direction.
Academic Foundation
Chloë holds a Master of Philosophy in Indigenous Studies from The Arctic University of Norway.
Her research on sacred worldview in Sápmi continues to inform the philosophical and ethical depth of her work.
An Invitation
If you feel called toward mature spiritual work — not as escape, but as participation in your own becoming — you are welcome to explore her private mentorship or seasonal retreat offerings.
