Maud Sejournant

French by birth, I lived in Paris for the first 25 years of my life, where I studied political science and started a career in advertising and journalism. Then a meeting with a teammate of Eric Tabarly (a renowned French sailor) took me on a great nautical adventure. We crossed the Atlantic twice on a small sailboat and we settled in the Caribbean, where we lived for 10 years, raising our two children, Flora and Axel.

During the next ten years I made several trips to teach in France, Switzerland, Belgium and Canada as suggested by my mentors. Fascinated by the new communication technologies and wanting to spread our programs, in 1999 I launched the first Toltec apprenticeship program by phone and by email, to touch those who are interested in ancestral wisdom. Since the favorable reception and success of this new teaching method, I have developed further programs for professionals, particularly via personal coaching.

During a trip to Santa Fe in 1985, I discovered my deep connection to Southwest American traditions. The shock was profound: it seemed to me that I rediscovered my roots in the Native American culture, still unknown but familiar to my soul. Ecstatically, I discovered the many powerful places which exist in New Mexico. In parallel to my local contacts with men and women shamans and traditional mentors, I expanded my knowledge in the more recent developments in transpersonal psychology by thoroughly studying the new approaches to personal development emerging in the US.

I always strive to incorporate the essence of wisdom teachings in daily life, transforming magic into an everyday tool to enable people to become the creators of their lives, like I did for mine. If you would like to learn more about my personal initiation, including its ups and downs, then I invite you to read my book “Le Cercle de Vie” published by Albin Michel and soon to be published in English under the title “Entering the Shaman’s Eye”.
