We seek to stay put.
With you.
In the pauses and voids we avoid, yet must navigate.
I'm here to accompany and witness you through these profound human experiences — recalling our old ways.
We leave behind the path of fixing, healing or reframing. We remember the patience, resolve and deep reverence to draw from when exploring the depths of these thresholds.
This is a together space — a way to remind you of your innate knowing of life's cyclical nature and intelligence.
A way to reclaim what was always ours: a full-spectrum life, not despite, but thanks to sacred grief, transition, death, void and renewal, redefined in the Cycle.
Ways we can walk together
Different thresholds, one way of being with them: present, patient, without agenda.
Grief & the spaces between
For those moving through loss, death, transition, or the quiet voids between life's cycles. This is companioning, not fixing — a place to find ground in territory we're taught to avoid.
Preparation & integration
For those preparing for, or returning from, psychedelic experiences and other expanded states of consciousness. The experience matters; so does what happens on either side of it. Together we tend to the arriving and the coming back — making meaning of what surfaced, and letting it change how you live.
Offered as a Certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist (CPAT, Mind Medicine Australia).
For practitioners & space-holders
For death doulas, grief workers and those learning to hold others in liminal spaces. Experiential coaching in what it actually takes to stay in the void alongside another — and to sketch your own map before you help others draw theirs.

My Approach
I walk with people through the sacred processes of grief, death and renewal.
This Våo Path draws from earth-based wisdom and deeply ingrained knowledge — knowledge common to our humanity across traditions and cultures, even when long forgotten.
It's my creed to rekindle your knowing, not to impose a new framework or theory on such delicate and complex experiences. I stand with you as you step into these spaces — helping you establish what you need so you're allowed to find ground, and reacquaint yourself with territories we're taught to avoid.
About
I'm Virginie Marley, or you can call me V,
Follower and Founder of This Våo Path — I am a witness, a gatekeeper and a teacher. For over 30 years I've been building rapport and relationship with what is often uncomfortable and confronting: the finite and cyclical nature of all things, and the spaces in between.
I've come to understand how fundamental it is to bravely and curiously encounter these territories — because it is here, ironically, that this human experience comes to life. When things seem lost, in suspension, with no rhythm or reason, the very essence of existence emerges.
I work with individuals courageous enough for such exploration — people who want to look at death and grief from a different vantage point. I bear witness and guide you as you chart your own map of this vast domain. I teach and counsel those who hold others as space-holders in the liminal spaces of death, the completion of cycles, and ceremony.
And as a Certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist (CPAT), I offer preparation and integration support for those seeking to honour the gift of expanded states of consciousness.
