Our Story
Shawn spent life being an entertainer and a content creator: stand-up, improv, singing, song writing, designing, editing and hosting. Shawn has been seen on Hulu, VH1, Logo and can currently watch Shawn in 'The Mortified Guide' on Tubi and in multiple podcasts and on social media sharing the love of Unicorns.
Shawn always was fascinated with magic, spirituality and Unicorns. Throughout Shawn's life they've had synchronistic run-ins with mediums and spiritual people who gave Shawn clues to some abilities. Shawn was given their first Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot deck from their sister over ten years ago. Shawn would read Tarot at parties while loving the practice from an intuitive perspective. One evening Shawn had a channeling experience from Spirit that lead them to take divination more seriously. Shawn dug into Tarot more deeply and studied with Liz Worth. To explore the channeling experience he studied and graduated from Patti Sinclair's Intuitive Awareness Intensive Program. Shawn is also a certified Unicorn Teacher fromthe Diana Cooper's School of White Light. Shawn is also Reiki II attuned by Conduit of Healing by Monica Hall.

Chip Killingsworth
Chip's mission is to create refuge from internalized shame and outdated narratives by offering embodied experiences rooted in presence through introspective breathwork therapy, mindfulness, and movement. His work centers on authentic self-trust, personal transformation, and the power of inhabiting the present moment.
With over twenty-five years of experience in educational environments in California and NYC, including sixteen at two performing arts institutions, Chip has supported individuals in clarifying their direction, claiming their potential, and stepping into aligned opportunities. His mindfulness practice was shaped working within actor training environments, where he experienced firsthand the transformative power of responding truthfully, spontaneously, moment-to-moment. That foundation continues to inform his breathwork and meditation offerings today.
Chip has facilitated workshops, auditions, panels, and outreach events across six of the seven continents, working with diverse student communities and bringing a grounded, presence-centered approach into educational spaces. He now focuses on creating grounded, compassionate environments where people - including those navigating questions of identity, sexuality, or belonging - can reconnect with their bodies and step out of conditioned expectations into embodied presence.
He offers group and private sessions in The Berkshires, New York City, and virtually.
Outside of his professional work, Chip finds renewal in yoga, the outdoors, all things New York City, and life in The Berkshires, which he proudly calls home.
