The Cunning Folk Path:
A Shapeshifting Training to Awaken Earth, Everyday Dreaming and Sky Wisdom
Break the spell of toxic smallness and remember the ancient wisdom already living in you
You were never meant to fit inside the old world’s too-tight story!
You’re ready to reclaim your wild, visionary nature—and awaken your inner shapeshifter.
This immersive 9-module course guides you to dissolve inherited patterns, reclaim your intuitive power and reawaken the wild, wise one who walks at the edge of change.
Too many sensitive, intuitive visionaries have been told they’re "too much," "too weird" or "not enough."
But real empowerment doesn’t come from shrinking. It begins by shapeshifting out of the mindset spells you inherited—and awakening the ancient wisdom already living in your body, your imagination and your mythic memory.
Inside this training, you’ll remember what the old world asked you to forget.
Where does your current approach to growth still echo the dominator culture’s demand to prove, perfect or produce?
And what would change if you stopped trying to fit in—and instead became who you were always meant to be?
Take a breath. You don’t need another quick fix. You need a path that helps you reclaim your own mythic nature, one realm at a time.
“Your sacred task is not to become someone else, but to remember the truth of who you already are."
~ Lyla June Johnston

i too struggled in my life with toxic smallness
I'm Sheila Bélanger, Archetypal Astrologer & Transformation Coach
A pivotal “edge” moment for me happened in my early 20's. I was a Mechanical Engineering student, wrestling with how I was going to make it after graduation in the patriarchal engineering culture of the times.
I was diminshing myself by trying to fit into a culturally secure "consensus reality" identity that denied my intuitive, edgy and spiritual side.
Then I met Archetypal Astrology and experienced a life-changing paradigm shift. I received deep transformational insights about my true nature and became an archetypal astrologer and transformational initiation guide.
I created The Cunning Folk Path because we need people like you—intuitive, wise and exquisitely sensitive—to remember who you are, reclaim your ancient knowing and shapeshift the story you live.
This training weaves everything I’ve practiced for decades: depth psychology, archetypal astrology, ancestral initiation maps and intuitive transformation. It’s both poetic and practical—just like you.
Thousands of students have journeyed through my transformational frameworks over the past 35+ years, including in-person and virtual workshops, retreats and courses.
I’m an ICF-certified coach, host of the Astrology Alchemy Podcast and a longtime practitioner of Process Work, Earth-honoring ritual and archetypal healing and transformation.
But more than any title, what matters most is this: I walk this path. I live what I teach. And I’ve seen how powerful it is when people stop shrinking and start shapeshifting.
