Having been through the range of similar workshops in the Silicon Valley tech world, Tiu’s approach is better than any of them. It was mischievous and thought-provoking.

How it works:
Three Semesters:
First semester - October to December 2025:
Encompassing the harvest of all that we planted in spring and Summer 2025, this term will include birthing your own creative project, meeting your future self, going on a magical portal walk in the forest and honouring our ancestors with a dinner for the dead. We will complete the semester by coming together on the Winter Solstice with a retreat where we will be holding our light steady in the darkest times.
Second semester - February to April 2026
Nurturing the seeds that lie dormant in our deepest dreams as the spring gently brings them out of the depths and into the emergent light, this term will include developing your individual professional practise, exploring working with beginnings and endings and understanding the rites of birth, love and death in the form of weddings, funerals and baby namings.
Third Semester - May to July 2026
Activating our inner adventures for your fellow practitioners to share in the bright summer sun, including how to cultivate “pronoia” in a city adventure of random acts of kindness and beauty, communicating your unique offering to the wider world, cultivating a community practise to sustain your development in times to come and bringing it all together in a summer solstice celebration in a magical setting.
The Ritual Designer Practitioner Programme is built on three pillars:
-
Seasonal Retreats
Step into worlds of wonder in several residential retreats taking place across the year, each one a portal into the rhythms of the seasons and the cycles of life. These retreats offer the opportunity to go deeper, connect with the group and explore Ritual Design and supporting creative practices. -
16 hours of Personal Mentoring
Picture yourself stretched out on the sofa in my beautiful boat, in slippers, wrapped in stillness. These sessions are entirely tailored to your journey: gently guiding you across thresholds, awakening your sense of wonder, reconnecting you to creativity, and helping you release the old so you can open to seeing the world with fresh eyes. -
Creative Adventures
You’ll have exclusive access to my hand-picked library of powerful and transformative one-day in-person or DIY workshops, each designed by me to spark creativity, wonder, and deep connection. From urban pronoia adventures to storytelling in nature, labyrinth walks and more, these experiences will enrich your personal journey. You’ll adventure alone and together with a group of human beings who contain multitudes and who become lifelong friends, allies, learning partners and soul siblings. See the full menu of workshops here.
16 hours of 1:1 sessions, with me
Designing your Unique Journey
Our one-to-one sessions, alongside the group experiences, will take you through a profound life shift, carrying you through a playful, purposeful adventure, as you transform any or all areas of your life, from your work to your relationships, your creative expression to finding your unique spiritual expression.
From the start of your journey to the celebration of your completion, I will be here supporting you along every twist and turn of the way, to help you step fully into a life, that inspires, delights, and nourishes you: mind, body, and soul.
And if you are able to come to London, I will take you to a labyrinth I discovered in an ancient cemetery and nature reserve, where you will experience a powerful process to help you to release the past, embody the present and - quite literally - step into your brand new future.
You can learn more about the one to one part of this process here.
These sessions follow your pace - you can see me once a season for a 3 hour deep dive, or you can have an hour a month, or a 2 hour session every few weeks. Or leave it completely open and just see when you feel ready.
Creative adventures include:
-
Crossing the First Threshold
Our first day together as a group, in person, where we will get to know each other and step with intention into a new realm of possibility, exploring techniques to map our path and empower our inner myth-making.
-
Birthing Your Project
A day of colour, creativity and connecting to the soul of the project you are bringing into the world, with a session including the creative writing technique David Bowie used to write all his songs.
-
Magic Portal Walk
We will practise a powerful technique that will enable you to step through a magic portal into other worlds – quite literally - leaving you feeling connected, creative, inspired and able to access your sense of wonder.
-
Serendipity In The City
An urban adventure called the Pronoia Project where we sneak around committing random acts of kindness and covert acts of beauty in the streets of London, all the while learning how to engineer serendipity at will.
-
Fireside Stories & Lighting the Way
In the deep midwinter, we will have a residential weekend with a powerful ritual to reflect, release, reintegrate and return to the world, restored and resourced and perhaps even transformed by our adventure.
-
Completion & Celebration
Our final in person day together, to look back at where we have been, celebrate how far we have come and send our hopes and wishes forward to our new future.
[Remove? - too much info] The Tools and Techniques:
-
Meet Your Future Self
Imagine being able to time travel to have a meaningful encounter with yourself in your radiant healthy old age. This is a tool that allows you to access your innate wisdom, your inner resilience and your self-love, any time you need to.
-
Meet Your Idea
When we relate to our creations as sentient beings in their own right, we unleash our creative energy. When we “partner” with our projects, we not only have more fun, freedom and flow, we also work in collaboration with the ideas themselves.
-
The Cut Up
We will experience the creative technique that David Bowie used to write all his songs, a simple yet powerful tool you can use any time you want to access fresh thinking, new modes of expression or simply get unstuck and shift into playfulness again.
-
Dinner for the Dead
This is a beautiful evening ritual timed around the Day of the Dead /Halloween, where each of us brings a beloved dead person to dinner - and shares their signature dish along with all that they meant and mean to us. A truly magical and moving meal for body, heart and soul.
-
Kinder Oracle Readings
We are all meaning-making machines, so why not add a little fun - and chocolate - when seeking an answer to a big question? The Kinder Oracle is surprisingly powerful - we will literally interpret the toy within as the Universe’s answer…
-
Ritual Design 101
You will learn how to design a moment of meaning which you can immediately apply in your life and work. Humans have long created rituals to mark milestones and honour transitions – and you will learn how to use my Ritual Design Checklist in all areas of your life.
Rooted in Real Life
I don’t know about you, but I want less screen time and more human and nature connection.
That’s why this training is NOT an online course.
For all its impracticality and inconvenience, this journey is deliberately in person, face-to-face, and embodied. We’ll gather around fires, share food, walk through forests, and create rituals that can only exist when we’re together.
Yes, there will be the bare minimum of Zoom calls to keep us connected and share resources — but the heart of this programme lives offline, in analogue explorations, real-world rituals, and human connection.
The Journey will be full of sensory joys and analogue activations… think:
Faces by firelight, candlelight, glowing in sunset gold and twinkling in the pre-dawn darkness.
Eye contact, not the slightly askance gaze of a zoom, conversations that come with the full sensory surround sound of breath and presence and warmth and a hug at the start and end.
Juicy pens and creamy notebooks, for poems, possibilities and ponderings.
Feeling the sensation of the living earth under bare feet, indeed up to your shins, rooted.
Planting nascent living things in rich, dark soil and watching them grow.
Cutting up words, collaging pictures, severing cords and harvesting plant cuttings.
Stirring stories and spells into delicious dishes, sharing our ancestors recipes.
Carving out time and space to gaze at the skies and do nothing at all.
Petrichor and psithurism over emails and essays (both favourite words - if you don’t know them look them up, consider it your first micro step towards this training.)
Tree trunks as set texts.
Non negotiable nap time.
and Practical Processes…
The price:
How do you want to introduce the price? Do you want to disclose it now, or in the Q&A?
I don’t know how to thank you for the massive change you have made in my life. In many ways it felt effortless and light as a process - and yet it also revealed some deep insights through magical and mysterious means.
The transformation has been phenomenal.
I have got back my sense of play and adventure through wonder and bringing in childlike joy.
I’ve smashed away the boundaries and I am now on my way to having a limitless life.

I feel as though multiple doors have been unlocked within me, as a result of traversing this Path.
This experience, the togetherness, the circle of women, with their shared wisdom, has transformed, reenergised, refocussed, expanded my being.
I have learned an incredible amount, but what I treasure is the experiences, the embodiment work – the different tools in my toolshed.
I have a wonderful pencil case of treats that have enriched my life and I am thrilled with where I am at the final stages of the Path.

As we go, we will agree on actions and mini-adventures that ensure you are following a truly inspirational path, step by sparkly step.
We will:
-
Track Progress
Track your progress in creative ways as you explore new terrain, both within and without: you might make a treasure map, a reward chart, a scrapbook, a video diary, or paint your very own yellow brick road — and more.

Course Correct
Course-correct as we go, checking in on a regular basis to ensure you feel fully alive, creatively inspired, and empowered.
-
Reflect & Fine-tune
Take time to factor in deep rest, reflection and dream time along the way - this is about attuning to what feels right, including time away from the trail when you can simply stop, breathe and be.
I describe Tiu de Haan as the ‘Marina Abramovic’ of coaching.
That’s shorthand for saying Tiu brings an unusual creative, artistic, shape-shifting, shamanic genius to her coaching.

New Year Reflection & Creation
Two 90 minute online classes for the turning of the year. One looking back to reflect upon the treasures, the challenges and the meaning you are making of the year that has just ended. The other is looking ahead to the year that is beginning, to create meaningful metrics and magical milestones along the path.

Four Seasons
Stay on track with your New Year meaningful metrics with these four seasonal 90 minute classes.

So, ask yourself these questions:
Are you…
Ready to recalibrate your inner compass to a fresh point on the horizon, one that lights you up and calls you forward?
Seeking more meaningful moments of deep connection, both with yourself and others?
Feeling a call to step up and live into your purpose, exploring your personal legacy, whatever that might be?
Longing for more fun, more creativity and more time to play, to feel like an adventurer on a mythical quest as you seek - and find - the clues to your unique treasure?
Would you like to…
Be part of a magical mastermind group of like-minded, like-hearted people, all committed to humbly exploring their life calling and their deep quest for meaning?
Reconnect with your creativity, your imagination, and your ability to dream bigger?
Reset, recharge, and recommit to what really lights you up?
Look back on 2025 to 2026 as the most extraordinary year, one that changed your life for the better - forever?
And sometimes, it just feels like time.
Time to explore new horizons.
Time to commit to your path, your intention, your creativity, your legacy.
Time to shift into a new kind of consciousness - and to do so with spaciousness, solidarity, support and serendipity.
Ready for the next step?
Well, then the
Path Begins Here
How to find out if this is the path for you:
About Tiu
Let me be your guide along the Path of Possibility…
I have spent the past 20 years creating and curating experiences designed to shift your perspective, wake up your wonder and remind you how to find the magic in the mundane. I’ve worked with everyone from CEOs to 7 year olds, created experiential events for globally renowned organisations at a point of change to individual people seeking more meaningful, magical moments in their lives and careers.
I’ve helped people face death, both their own and those of their loved ones. I’ve helped people to birth new projects from books and albums to businesses to lifelong legacies. I founded a non profit, all about connecting children and parents through play, and I am working on my own legacy project - a physical place which acts as a magnet for magical people and projects that make experience itself an art form.
I myself have been a lifelong spiritual practitioner and learner, hobbled by grief and exalted by grace, exploring many paths and gathering wisdom along the way, learning, ultimately, that there are multiple ways to the same mountaintop.
The Path to the Possibility of Wonder brings together all my most powerful, playful and profound offerings, in one extraordinary experiential adventure.
You can find out more about me here.
But really, you could just get in touch and have a conversation about whether this Path is right for you.
I trust your curious, courageous heart to tell you whether it is.
