MY PRACTICE
From 2004 to 2009 I studied and trained as a diviner with Malidoma Patrice Some, a Dagara elder from Burkina Faso.
Divination (commonly referred to as a reading) is not a service I have offered openly, though it has infused my coaching and guidance practice at BLOOM. It has been called my "super-secret sauce." However I can see that in these times a clearer more public teaching and offering is needed.
According to Malidoma, divination is not merely a method of predicting the future; the five elements of creation, illustrated below, provide a powerful individual and communal ecosystem, offering profound insights into one’s purpose, relationships, challenges, and path in life.
They can provide guidance to help resolve conflicts, and heal personal or communal imbalances.
In my practice I use the tools and knowledge I have gained from my time with Malidoma, as well as additional insights from other wisdom traditions, and from years of practice to discover how these elements are at play in your life—your well-being, passions, work, relationships and community.
The result is often a clear narrative that confirms or offers new insights into the choices you can make now.
Elemental signatures can be gleaned from your birth year, the current year, early life wounds and key strengths. All this shapes our desires, fears, behaviors and possibilities in ways that can be known and understood, all in one session.
In-depth information can be gleaned simply from questions and answers that the client provides—because these patterns show up in our speaking about our current dilemmas.
Where appropriate information can also be had from the energy signature that is displayed after dedicated items are moved with one's hand.
Each session ends with a "prescription." A prescription is a recommended course of action to promote healing. It is a way for you to encounter your unique pathway elementally, to engage your edge with more conscious awareness. The prescription offered might take the form of new reflective practices, nature rituals and / or exercises designed to help you align with your purpose and well being.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
ERIKA ALEXANDER
"Olubode taught me how to think, shift and bloom. During the formative years of my career his coaching and mentorship created a powerful environment to test and examine my modern ambitions and be held accountable, while balancing the spiritual scaffolding of my parents and ancestors. With his guidance my chaotic mindset was unearthed and a new type of thinking emerged. I am successful because of it. That foundation orders my world and informs my decisions every day."

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
PETRA HILGERS
“... while the themes were familiar, his questions were not, Olubode has found a really unusual angle from which to examine familiar themes that helped me to see things anew and join up dots in my own journey that I hadn’t even spotted properly before. So for me this was a real launch pad into a new era in my life which I knew was coming but I didn’t know how to align."

ABOUT OLUBODE
Olubode Shawn Brown is a lawyer, author and a creative who works with organizational leaders, entrepreneurs and fellow creatives to help them as they think through the complexities of their lives and enterprises. For over 25 years he has worked with diverse leaders who are thinking collectively, working cooperatively, and acting globally in the fields of Well-Being & Mental Health, Social Justice, Economic Empowerment, Equity and Community Development.
He is the author of two books on life purpose and life balance: BLOOM, The Essential Journey ~ A New Guide to Balance Growth & Well Being, and FINDING YOUR B.I.G.~ Finding New Purpose In A Changing World. In them he introduces a new way of thinking, and asks fundamental questions based on the five elements that grow and balance life. This body of thought is called “The Philosophy of BLOOMING.”
Olubode's Philosophy of BLOOMING is rooted in the Dagara elemental world-view as taught by his teacher Malidoma Some. His work offers the five elements of creation a new life-balancing paradigm for people who are seeking to live more authentic lives as they work together to deliver urgently needed gifts to the planet.
Olubode is the founder of the BLOOM - a global network of collective leaders who are working creatively on ‘Big Impossible Goals.’ Birthed from Africa and its diaspora, BLOOM is a collective space for storytelling and adventure, it is a marketplace for our gifts and a space for collective healing.
Olubode is the founder of the BLOOM Institute — a learning institute that uses the Philosophy of BLOOMING to help visionary and creative leaders negotiate the challenges of expanding their enterprises while keeping themselves well.

ABOUT GUIDING SESSIONS WITH OLUBODE.
HOW ARE THESE SESSIONS CONDUCTED?
Imagine that at each phase of life we take a journey down five paths, to be HEARD, to experience CHANGE, to be VALUED, feel CONNECTED and have a sense of BELONGING. In each season of life we need different things and new insights are called for.Our Guiding Sessions are an opportunity for you to pause and listen for the answers you need now.
THESE GUIDING SESSIONS ARE OFFERED TO HELP INDIVIDUALS:
- Align with purpose, well-being, meaning and intention of their lives
- Have greater agency in the presence of change and uncertainty
- See and negotiate / offer their value
- Deepen relationships so gifts can be delivered and received
- Realize a community / collective that empower and celebrate their gift and journey.
These sessions include two parts:
PART I
THE INQUIRY
This inquiry helps to understand the current field of play with which you are engaged.
- We use our Self-Reflection (SR) Guide to determine the elemental pathways being currently engaged. (The SR Guide is to be completed before the session.) You can review this guide HERE.
- The BLOOM Essence Cards: Determines the Path of BECOMING. If possible KEY and DESIRED Essence can be identified before the session. They are available in the book, BLOOM The Essential Journey ~ A New Guide to Balance & Well Being. These essences indicate the unique path of growth that is now being called for.
- One’s Native Element Designation is identified using the last digit of your birth year.
- The Five Desires: Determines the life nutrient that is now needed.
- The Five Live Areas determines the area of activity where the issue / experience is focused and where the PRESCRIPTION is designed to impact / transform
- Finally we will ask “What is the question / experience that concerns you now? / “What brought you here today?
PART II.
THE PRESCRIPTION
A prescription is a recommended course of action to promote healing. It is a way for you to understand your unique pathway elementally and practices to engage your edge with more conscious awareness. The prescription offered will be practices and activities designed to help you align and balance:
INNER ELEMENT GATEWAYS
These are the element gateways for each of the elements and essences in the field of your body.
OUTER ELEMENT GATEWAYS
These gates exist in the physical environment —in nature or can be re-imagined / created at a dedicated space in one’s home.
RITUALS
“Rituals,” describe the activities prescribed to align the inner and outer gateways. The actives can be performed within the field of the body using movement and attention and/ or in the natural environment. A ritual activity might engage the inner and outer Gateways with attention with the amplification of sensation and breath in the field of the body using symbols, BLOOM Meditation and BLOOM HEKA - Incantations
STUDY & REFLECTION
A prescription will also include reflection and journaling using specific BLOOM Element Frameworks.
Many of these methodologies are explained in more detail in Olubode's first book, BLOOM The Essential Journey ~ A New Guide to Balance & Well Being.
You can purchase it on Amazon in print and e-book formats HERE.
