Become the author of your creative life.It can be heartbreaking to try to figure out how to bring your gifts out from the innermost core of yourself. How do you keep going in the messy middle before there’s any evidence it’s working? At many moments along the way, I wasn't sure how I would make the leap.
I am neurodivergent, and you probably are too in one form or another if you consider yourself a creative. You're probably a genius, too. It took me a long time to put two and two together. I knew I was brilliant. I knew I was creative. Why, then, was it so hard to grant the permission to take up the space AS a creative genius?
Well, we know why. But, what do we do about it? Each persons' journey to the heart of that answer will trace a different path. I work 1:1 to best tailor my toolkit to your needs.
What is a Cris Beasley?
I am a polymath, specializing in understanding the links between consciousness, art, technology, and love. There are many ways to visualize this interlinking: a web, a net, a tapestry, a mycelium, a crystalline structure, a fractal. My work spans fields that most people would see as entirely disconnected. This allows me to weave across diverse mediums.
At 30 years old, the New York Times Magazine wanted to do a feature on me and my first business: a prosocial behavior experiment disguised as a sidewalk pie cart. At 34, The Atlantic magazine ran a cover article on my second company, a machine learning algorithm to make jeans that fit women. I envision projects that tap into the collective ethos and draw organic press because they're exactly what we're all thinking but don't realize we're thinking it yet.
I'm Terence McKenna and Julia Childs all rolled up into an AuDHD Southern firecracker. My long-time mentor is Tom Chi, best known as the founder of the moonshot innovation team, GoogleX. Following a 20-year career in tech as a user experience designer, researcher, product manager, and startup CEO, I dove into the depths of exploring the psyche and spirituality.
Who I work with
I'm here to activate neurodivergent creative heretics to create superabundant wealth, strongly-bonded relationships, and healthy communities. Together, we weave and offer our collective genius to be of service to the rising consciousness of the divine feminine. I don't work with people who are motivated primarily by profit, only those who are here to be of service to their soul's mission.

The iconic actors of the next phase of the entertainment industry will question the very nature of authenticity. What does it mean to inhabit a character in an age of backlash against artificiality? Who will make a masterwork out of the lines between what is real and what is fiction?
We have already entered an era where the most powerful questions can't be answered. This is good. This is the way though the knot that we are nearly all feeling.
After such a long time where nuance was diminished and downranked, the pendulum is swinging back in the direction of paradox. Iconic artists will live the answers to questions instead of answering them. We will create processes to unwind and rewind creative tensions back into a new shape, never fully unravelling them. Who wants to nullify their magic and miss the point entirely, eh?
What is a song without a chorus and a verse? What is a book without a printed copy? What is a drama without a screenplay?
Actors are now filmmakers. Filmmakers are now actors. The walls are dissolving.
This dissolution precedes the alchemy. I am here to be the guide through the discomfort of this process so it can be as smooth and joyous as possible. It is a journey for the courageous of heart.

I’m here to help musicians stop merely performing and start channeling transmissions from their root. Gaia is a living awareness who is willing to send her frequencies through your vocal chords and fingers from all the way down to the center of the liquid crystal core of the planet. I myself sing in light language, so I’m teaching something I fully embody.
Who here remembers the first voice that changed your life forever? For me, it was Paula Abdul. I had a lavender plastic radio with a cassette recorder poised to catch her latest hit.
We never forget these songs. There’s a gorgeous video of a woman who can’t remember her daughter’s name but cries when she hears the song she was listening to when she fell in love with her dad. Who doesn’t cry when we witness the power it holds and feel its magic?
What song was born in you as a child that still hasn’t been performed? What quality of your voice feels too sacred to share on stage? Whose life will be forever changed because you had the courage to let that voice be heard?
If this is your mission, it is my mission to assist you in making that happen.

What is a voice when one can be cloned in two minutes for $9/mo by servers in China? Who can tell the difference? Who cares anyway?
We can go down a doom-and-gloom hole quite easily if we want to, but that misses the whole point of this moment. We are on the precipice of cultural breakthrough.
Technology changes art and art changes technology. This is well known, but what’s rarely mentioned is how changes in culture drive technological adoption. People bought televisions in 1954 to watch the Army-McCarthy hearings. For the first time in history, you could watch history happen live, and the ones who could afford it did so in increasing numbers until almost everyone had one. For reference, buying a TV in 1954 cost $15,000 in today’s money.
Then, in the late 1960s to early 1970s, new genres spread like wildfire through the TV and radio. From the Beatles-soaked Summer of Love to the birth of rap with Gil Scott Heron’s The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, the world declared that the era of Elvis and Chuck Berry was over.
The next few years will reinvent our relationship to art and music on an even larger scale. Not only will new genres emerge, but new ways of interacting with it will as well. Streaming services aren’t going away immediately, but the hunger for the evolution of music will make space for people to rethink our relationship to it entirely.
The voices who sound exactly like themselves are the ones whose message will penetrate through the noise. Finding the next evolution of your voice will bring up some of your deepest fears. I am a guide to accompany you as you go on that journey.
Testimonials
Working with Cris has brought openings in areas of my life that I have been working to dismantle and release for years. Her gift is in her attention, her ability to create a safe environment for me to open up, and her intuitive way of working that incorporates many modalities to create a path of breakthrough that’s specific to me. In only a month of working together, I am experiencing profound shifts and a sense of being guided back to my own inner compass, which she is helping me to better recognize. She works from a place of humility and kindness, and you sense her integrity as a person as well as a very gifted guide and companion for people crossing major thresholds in their personal and professional lives.
– Grammy-winning singer with 4 billion streams
Cris understands, first of all, what it is that needs to be faced, then builds the safety to go and face those demons. Nobody else has been able to do it with me, and what comes out on the other end of it is just absolute magic.
– Markos Moulitsas, co-founder of Vox.com and DailyKos.com
Pound for pound, Cris is the strongest person I’ve ever met.
– Daniel Rios, martial artist and former college football athlete
I don’t have words for the enormity of the transformation I’m experiencing. With guidance from you and, well, my guides, I really did cross a threshold. I feel such enormous and wholehearted gratitude and awe for you, and your part in this. I am speechless for words.
– Licensed clinical social worker
Training
I am offering a modality by heretics, for heretics. This synthesis of energetic healing and business coaching is informed by my training in Kashmir Shaivism with Aum Tantra Yoga and Emotional Freedom Technique with Mindlight alongside my career in tech and as a CEO. I have completed continuing education workshops with Dr. Peter Levine (founder of Somatic Experiencing) and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk (author of The Body Keeps the Score).
Packages
Sessions are on Zoom, but if you are in Los Angeles we will incorporate in-person work as well. For these sessions, I will travel to you.
Free intake and Enneagram typing session - 60 minutes
Rather than the discovery call being a chat about how I work, it is a demonstration. I prefer to approach this much like a sommelier offers you a small pour of the wine rather than trying to describe a flavor with words.
The Enneagram, a map of how we disconnect from the wisdom of our mind, heart, and body, will serve as the structure for our transformational journey, as it identifies your growth edges in this lifetime. I work with the Enneagram because it has the power to point out our most significant blindspots. Without such a tool, it is possible to loop in the same sabotage patterns indefinitely.
Prior to the call you’ll take an assessment for the Enneagram. Please forward me the email with the results at least 48 hours before our call so I have time to evaluate your responses in preparation for our call.
Monthly rates
$800/mo for 2x 90-minute sessions
$1200/mo for 2x 120-minute sessions + 2x 30-minute check-in calls
Both packages include text and voice messages as needed to support and stabilize the frequency shift in real time.
