GM Sam Chin's biography.

Ciela Wynter⁠ is an astrologer, inner work guide, artist, author, musician, and sound facilitator, enamored by the process of deep diving into the unknown oceans of vast uncharted waters within the psyche. Ciela researches the inner stars, planets, and galaxies for the clues to the profound mysteries and eternal “case studies” that call her attention. Ciela has always been a seeker and her journey has taken her around the world from skyscrapers to jungle floors to temples to danger zones. She loves the chapters of life and how we actually can make progress through knowing ourselves. Ciela has been in deep study of astrology for over 20 years. It has been a lifeline for mapping out her psyche and an invitation to explore it with fervor. She is self-taught, a student of the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London, and an avid reader and psychonaut of the transpersonal realms. Astrology is a language that helps Ciela to understand why she does the things she does and how to change herself from the inside out.
