MEET AOIBHEANN, YOUR CREATIVE GUIDE

(Pronounced “A-veen!”)

Hi, I’m Aoibheann (she/her).

I’m Irish—as you might have guessed! Aoibheann, means “radiant sheen” in Gaelic, and my surname, Greenan—derived from the Gaelic Grianán—means “place of the sun.” I like to think of my full name as a kind of container for illumination, which is exactly how I envision Rodeo Oracle!

These days I wear three interchangeable hats: Artist, Creative Guide & Mystic.

ARTIST

My practice spans moving image, performance, installation, sculpture, costume, and drawing. Often presented as multimedia installations or performance events, my projects channel threads of ancient wisdom into our post-digital landscape, opening new pathways for collective agency. Strange loops emerge at the thresholds of digital culture, neuroscience, depth psychology, and mysticism—revealing patterns of thought and behavior that echo across time.

I hold an MA in Performance Making from Goldsmiths University, London, an MA in Artists' Film and Moving Image, also from Goldsmiths, and a BA in Painting from NCAD, Dublin. My work has been presented at South London Gallery, Tate Modern, London, Raven Row, London, The KW Institute, Berlin, IMMA, Dublin, Project Arts Centre, Dublin, Temple Bar Gallery, Dublin, EVA International, Limerick, Bloomberg New Contemporaries, and Film London’s Selected Program. I am a cofounder of the artist collective East London Cable, and a former resident of Somerset House Studios, London.

CREATIVE GUIDE

The term "creative guide" best encapsulates the work I do with artists, which takes many shapes: creative coach, mentor, teacher, facilitator, cheerleader!

For me, creative practice and creative support are inseparable. Like many guides, I came to this work through personal roadblocks. As someone whose work has always defied neat categories, I fell into the mindtrap of believing academia could “legitimize” me. After completing two master’s degrees, I found myself burned out, overwhelmed, and creatively blocked. What I gained in accolades and polished “artspeak,” I lost in self-trust and fearlessness. I had to actively unlearn the conditioning that led me to over-intellectualize my work and second-guess my instincts. This ongoing journey of creative liberation is now the foundation from which I help others (re)connect with their intuitive wisdom.

To date, I’ve supported passionate creatives of all stripes: visual artists, curators, filmmakers, musicians, dancers, writers, actors, theater makers, creative producers, drag performers, architects, graphic novelists, comedians, creative entrepreneurs, and more. Despite their diverse backgrounds, my clients tend to share a common thread: a desire to live and create on their own terms.

I hold a Diploma in Transformative Coaching from the Animas Centre for Coaching, a programme triple-accredited by the ICF, EMCC, and AC. I have also completed a CPD in Neurodiversity Coaching through Animas and received mentoring training with Ceri Hand.

MYSTIC

I am a certified Akashic Records reader and Reiki practitioner trained under Gemma Petherbridge, and a certified Life Path Reader through my studies with Mary Grisey, with whom I have also studied creative channeling. I have studied Hellenistic Astrology with Austin Coppock, Kelly Surtees, and Chris Brennan, as well as Experiential Astrology with Jason Holley and Gray Crawford. I have also completed foundational Human Design courses with Amy Lee and John Cole of Human Design Collective, and studied Tarot with Lyndsey Mack of Tarot for the Wild Soul. I count Gordon White, Xenia Viray, and Britten LaRue among my influential mystical mentors.

I’m drawn to these esoteric modalities because of their ability to illuminate our unique creative blueprint and support the lifelong process of individuation. They have been transformative for my own self-understanding, and I always strive to share the tools and insights that have supported my creative journey.

For those familiar with Human Design, I’m a 6/2 Emotional Manifestor with my Conscious Sun in Gate 41.6—the “start codon,” in the line of the teacher. My life’s work is to initiate new imaginative possibilities into the collective and to lead by example through embodied experience.
