The aliveness you seek lives in the intensity you avoid.
The way most meditators practice is still a form of management—a subtle strategy to feel better, to optimize. But for the serious lover of Truth, there comes a point where management isn't enough. Where what you're really longing for isn't peace—it's aliveness.
The Work
1-on-1 Mentorship
In my 1-on-1 work, I'm meeting you in your longing for Realness, for seeing and embodying what is. In deep presence, we explore and refine the ways you relate to your direct experience, in your formal practice, your relationships, and your daily life.
To mature and wake up as a human being and to integrate this into our bodies and relationships is an art. I call it contemplative artistry. My wish for you is to flourish in this art. Depending on where you are, we can deepen your foundations of the craft, apply it to specific practice goals or emotional blocks, or explore the deeper end of contemplation and soulful living.
Some of the lenses I usually work with
- ◆Practice and integration: troubleshooting & refinement
- ◆Somatic-energetic awareness and attunement
- ◆Parts work and emotional processing
- ◆Open-awareness / do-nothing as a vertical foundation
- ◆Relational inquiry & existential contemplation
- ◆Imaginal sensitivity and attuning to soulfulness, eros, and beauty
- ◆Embodiment and relationships
- ◆Integrating psychedelic experiences (especially 5-MeO-DMT)

If something in you recognizes this, let's talk.

About
Marvin Keilbach
I spent years on the seeker's path—meditation retreats, therapy, self-improvement, spiritual practices. What I found was that most of it was sophisticated avoidance wearing the mask of growth.
The shift came when I stopped trying to become something and started meeting what was actually here. Not as a technique, but as a way of being.
Now I work with others who sense the same thing: that the aliveness they seek isn't at the end of another program or practice—it's hidden in what they've been avoiding all along.
