Meet Naomi
WRITER
MENTOR
MYSTIC
Greetings, fellow traveler…
Since you’ve found your way here, surely synchronicity had a hand in it.
I’m Naomi Aeon, a writer, philosopher, and mystic exploring what it means to remember who we are in a world that keeps asking us to forget.
Before I began building mythic spaces like the AEON UNDERGROUND and the IMAGINARIUM, I spent a dozen years teaching cultural theory at Harvard and Yale, respectively. My doctorate in History of Consciousness—guided by scholar-activist Angela Davis—was the product of a lifelong fascination with difference, identity, and spirit… and how they meet in the human story.
Born to walk the crossroads…
I’m African American and Swedish American… American and Canadian… an interracial adoptee who reunited with both birth parents only to find they had married each other after my birth.
My life has never fit neatly inside a single box… which taught me to honor the both/and, to be at home in paradox, and to speak several cultural dialects of the soul.
These days I write, mentor, and co-create projects that help people remember themselves—less by adding new identities, and more by peeling away the ones that were never theirs.
I call this work the art of remembrance… and it’s equal parts scholarship, mysticism, and mischief.
I live between NYC and LA; between intellect and intuition; between aether and earth. Travel delights me… that exhilarating feeling of landing in a new country… only to realize—yet again—that the real expedition is always inward.
I’m also a mother of three extraordinary humans…
who keep my feet on the ground and my heart wide open. They remind me daily that parenting is the ultimate adventure and alchemy journey… AND that the greatest classroom you’ll ever find yourself in is life itself.
If you like what you’ve stumbled into here and choose to journey alongside me, welcome.
May what you read, hear, or feel in this space help you remember something essential… something it will surely turn out that you’ve known all along.
