The Scaffolding Is Cracking… What Will We Become?

What if the way we’ve been trained to heal is itself part of the sickness?

What if the frameworks we’ve inherited—about pain, power, and progress—were never meant to liberate us, but to keep us manageable?

We are living through a Great Unraveling.
The scaffolding that once held the western world together—modern psychology, colonial medicine, capitalist logics, the cult of resilience—
is beginning to break apart.

The systems we were taught to trust
are now revealing themselves as technologies of control, not care.

But beneath the collapse, something older is stirring—
a deeper rhythm, a remembering, a resonance.

The Resonant Field is not a brand. It’s a crack. A threshold. A remembering.

Founded by Mars Aqueous, this space intends to seed stranger, truer, more soul-aligned futures for healing and culture.

What kind of story are you telling—about your work, your healing, your becoming?

Is it alive?

Is it yours?

Is it in service to life?

I’m Mars Aqueous (they/them)—a creative strategist, energy worker, and psychiatric survivor working at the intersections of story, spirit, and systems change.

I’ve worked for 2+ decades crafting marketing, products and platforms for some of the world’s largest brands.

I learned to use language and visual culture to cast spells that manipulate, seduce, control, and anesthetize.

Now, I work with those same forces—not to sell illusions, but to break them.

Most stories being told today are designed to domesticate us, distract us, or drain us; including the stories we tell ourselves.

We learn to weaponize ancestral forms of communication (symbol, rhythm, myth, frequency) in service of empire’s continuity.

I created The Resonant Field as a living container for those unraveling inherited frameworks of pathology, control, and legitimacy—

and for those building the new while composting the old,
ready to restore their place in the fabric of the living world.

The Spellbreaking Studio

Are your stories hollow?
Are you cloning yourself to be legible?
Has your message become a performance, rather than a pulse?

I created The Spellbreaking Studio for cultural strategists, healers, artists, and movements to compost containment myths, deprogram extractive language, and repattern their message, visual culture, and frequency into something truer. Something genuinely revolutionary.

We are not here to feed the ghosts.
We are here to end the spell.

The Spellbreaking Studio is where we do that work—together.

unravel + clear:

Energy Healing + Spiritual Counseling Sessions

For those who feel disconnected from themselves, their ancestors, or the web of life. Feelings of extreme lonliness, existential dread, abandonment betrayal patterns, physical pain with no clear origin; constantly “possessed”, difficulty making decisions, too porous or easily flooded, struggles with boundaries, rage, irritation, addiction challenges or psychological instability.

These sessions help you unravel what was never yours to carry. These burdens aren’t you, they are programs that we can clear and unload:

Unravel colonial conditioning at the level of the energy body.
Recalibrate & restore your connection to unseen intelligence.
Move beyond nervous system regulation alone—into deep field clearing.

liberatory coaching:

Reclaim Your Mind. Unravel the ‘Sick Patient’ Identity

Are you questioning the identity psychiatry or biomedicine gave you?

Feeling trapped in a “sick” role, unsure who you are without medication, or sensing that your suffering was never just a biochemical malfunction?

Struggling with withdrawal, brain fog, dissociation, or the fear of what comes next…

These sessions help you unravel the systems that have shaped your mind and reclaim your agency beyond the psychiatric gaze:

Strategize psychiatric withdrawal with integrity, support & body awareness.
Unravel the “sick identity” and reclaim full-spectrum consciousness.
Rewire the deep programming of psychiatric control & self-surveillance.

Speaking & Teaching

Mainstream western psychology has stripped healing of its depth, severing it from the initiatory processes that have guided humans for millennia. We have been taught to see suffering as a malfunction, a disorder, a deviation from the norm—rather than what it truly is: a call to transformation.

I work with conferences, universities, organizations, and institutions to facilitate deeper conversations about:

Decolonizing mental health – How the colonial project has shaped our understanding of suffering and healing
Mental health as initiation – Why distress is not pathology, but a portal to transformation
The energetic architecture of trauma – Moving beyond nervous system discourse to understand suffering as a field phenomenon
The war on consciousness + supression of the sacred unseen – Understanding the political dimensions of madness & sanity
Quantum biology & the nervous system – Healing beyond biochemical reductionism using our most ancient ancestral technologies and elemental allies.

I also offer courses and workshops on:

🌿 Mental Health Beyond the Dominant Frame
🌿 Decolonizing Healing Practices for European-descended people
🌿 Spiritual Initiation & Integration

If your organization, conference, or movement is in need of a truer, braver conversation about mental health, trauma, and healing, I’d love to collaborate.

Writing & Media

Words are spells. The narratives we hold about suffering and the construction of our ego identity shape our reality in profound ways.
