We are Niels & Elizabeth, and this is our passion project
We are spiritual partners, who were romantic partners for over a decade, struggled through the challenges of trying to grow together in these changing times, ultimately came to the conclusion that we had to let each other go, and have built something extraordinary from the ashes of what was and the the genuine love and divine purpose that has permeated our journey.
Born of 13 years of questing together through equal parts beautiful and difficult terrain, we have devised a unique and world-class approach to whole being transformation through a once-in-lifetime threshold experience. This is for the woman who is truly ready to go to these depths and rewrite her whole life.
Between us, we have over 40 years of combined experience in this arena. Our Rite of Passage package is the synthesis of our shared journey in partnership with the land of Ireland through the last decade plus, and we bring it to you with great excitement for what it may mean for your life. We know the courage it takes to achieve the level of massive change you’re aiming for, and we’re ready to walk you through it.
Profound Presence: Niels and Elizabeth are transformational change agents and consciousness catalysts
We work with a wide range of powerful approaches to support your becoming of the woman you want to be. Fundamentally though, it is our presence and being that has the biggest impact. We call what we have cultivated together Profound Presence, and it is a rare quality in this world of shallow and valueless spiritual junk food.
Beyond our presence and shared lifetime experience, our package weaves together a potent blend incorporating the ancient art of the Rite of Passage itself, deep communion and allying with Ancient Ireland’s power, hypnosis and trance work, sacred feminine training, somatic trauma healing, master coaching & mentoring, angelic currents (for healing, clearing, blessing and acceleration), shamanic storytelling, and more.
The combination together - and our conjoined dedication to your process - creates profound and complete transition from the person you used to be, to an entirely new and different experience of Self.
Radical Authenticity is a phrase Elizabeth likes to use, and it refers to being so true to yourself that everything around you rearranges itself naturally. The transition into a life of such authentic self-presence is one of the core things you will experience through this work.
While “new you” is a bit of cliché these days, what we mean here is an identity shift on such a foundational level that you can barely even remember how you were before.
What we provide is a whole being, holistic approach, and the service we offer incorporates completely end-to-end support. We take extreme care of the sacredness of your life, and no detail is overlooked.

Ireland Is Calling
When people dream of Ireland, they imagine a land where mist drapes across green hills, where stones whisper of ancient times, and where the veil between this world and the other feels paper thin.
But the truth is—most never find it.
The Ireland of postcards and glossy travel sites is crowded, tamed, and often stripped of the quiet magic people hope to encounter. The sacred wells, the standing stones, the old burial mounds and hidden circles—many are locked away on private land, overrun with tourists, or forgotten to time. What is left is often a faint echo of the power that once thrummed there.
And yet… the magic is still alive.
For those who know where to look, who approach in reverence, who are willing to go beyond the beaten track—there are places where Ireland reveals herself. Liminal places where the earth feels thin, where the air vibrates with a presence that is not quite explainable, and where the heart recognises something timeless and true.
The Search
Guided by Niels Vantzuriel’s background in archaeology, a restless love for the land, and years of quiet searching, we went looking for these places. We walked, we climbed, we sought out the forgotten corners and half-ruined sites that most overlook.
And we found them.
Solitary standing stones on windswept ridges. Ancient ringforts cradled in the folds of hills. Wells that still sing with the memory of devotion. Grottos carved into the rock, echoing with centuries of prayer.
Some of these places hum with power so strong it’s almost startling. Others rest quietly, like old friends—welcoming, steady, waiting. But each of them holds a kind of magic that is undeniable to those who arrive with the right heart.
The Invitation
This is where your Rite of Passage unfolds.
It is not about arriving with demands or expectations. It is about coming with humility, with reverence, with a willingness to listen. To sit among stones that have witnessed thousands of years. To remember that you are one in a long lineage of women who have sought meaning, who have paused at thresholds, who have dared to step into the unknown.
When approached in this way—with gentleness, with an open spirit—something shifts. The land responds. The silence deepens. And real magic begins to move.
It is not the magic of spectacle or performance. It is the quiet alchemy of being met, deeply and unexpectedly, by something larger than yourself.
A Lover’s Touch
This journey is not about conquering or collecting experiences. It is about entering into relationship—with the land, with yourself, with the mystery that still lingers here.
A lover’s touch, not a conqueror’s.
An invitation, not a demand.
And in this meeting place, something profound happens: a Rite of Passage shaped not by ritual imposed, but by what naturally arises when you allow yourself to be held by the land itself.
A Hidden Gold
These places are not easy to find. They are tucked away, often in ruins, often overlooked. But they are alive. And to step into them with presence is to step into something rare, precious, unforgettable.
This is not the Ireland of tourist maps. This is Ireland as she truly is: untamed, wild, intimate, fiercely beautiful.
And she does not reveal herself to everyone.
As local sage John Moriarty once said:
“The intention you bring to Ireland is how She will treat you.”
This is your invitation. A Rite of Passage shaped in silence, beauty, and deep encounter with the land. A journey only for those who feel called—and who are ready to listen when Ireland herself answers.
