Meet Simon

Smiling middle-aged man with gray hair and beard standing in front of a fountain in an outdoor urban setting.

Simon's three decades of intensive spiritual practice—including 30 years of daily meditation and more than 500 shamanic drumming journeys—have cultivated profound mastery in facilitating energetic healing and initiation for men.

He has received hundreds of darshan initiations on the siddha path, dozens of energetic initiations in tantric experiences and shamanic journeys, and continues to be initiated by trusted spirit world collaborators, including the being of the earth and the being of the sun. Through his spirit world shamanic journeys, he has received initiations from collective energetic healing fields of the ancestors, mother soul, father soul, spirit of the earth, spirit of the sun, energetic disentanglements, and the powers of the four elements.

Distilling his acquired knowledge, Simon has created the Integral Men's Initiation™ path, the 4POWERS™ and the daily Soul Bath™ method, which form the foundation of his offers and practitioner training.

He now facilitates these practices and initiations in group shamanic journeys, private sessions, and teachings—and trains practitioners to carry this work forward. He doesn't just teach methods—he initiates practitioners into their own power, guiding them through their personal healing journey while developing their skills and energetic capacity to facilitate this transformative work for other men.

He has written a book about men's initiation that helps men gain new perspective on harmonious masculine qualities and advance in their self-development.

What is Soul Bath™ ?

Soul Bath is a shamanically-inspired self-healing practice, developed by simon sanud, that your clients can use in their everyday life. Rather than having a single healing or clearing experience with you and then falling back in to their previous day to day challenges, you can invite them to tune into the help of the earth, sun, source and healing fields you have initiated them into. The participants in your workshops learn from you how they can release old layers of pain from their energy system, heal and integrate frozen soul parts, and find their way back to their own inner strength.

In effect you offer them a unique way, a new path, which is helping them empower themselves and tell others about the transformative power of your teachings, healings and workshops.

Soul Bath™ combines:

  • Yogic meditation for awareness and clarity

  • Tantric energy work for conscious channeling of life energy

  • Core shamanism for genuine, energetic transformation

…and you can teach it to anyone – even to clients and workshop participants with no prior experience.

You can get to know this method through the Free Soul Bath Mini Course and in private sessions or workshops with Simon.

The Organic Development of Soul Bath™

Have you felt like you have been trying different practices and that they may have helped you to a certain degree, but you still feel that something is missing? This is what happened for simon sanud during parts of his 30+ years of being on the spiritual path. Then he came across Core Shamanism and something clicked, even retrospectively in relation to missing pieces within the deep knowledge and practices he had been studying in Siddha Yoga and Tantra Yoga during a 25 year period. He found that this one puzzle piece finally gave him the overview, a sense of completion and was actually clicking in with what he'd really been searching for.

This is how Soul Bath, simon's own original practice came into being. Think of it as this distilled practice drawing on all his diverse experiences, but with this very direct and practical approach for its day to day application. It's rooted in the idea that we can tap into these really powerful energies for healing and transformation, specifically from the Earth and the Sun.

Simon's Shamanic background opens up a perspective on life that is called animism. It's the most ancient, original way that humans have been seeing and experiencing the world. You can still find it among different indigenous cultures to this day. It's the idea that everything around us has spirit, soul and consciousness, even trees, animals, stones and the four elements. It's not just us humans that have consciousness and a soul. Everything is alive and self-aware in its own way. We can expand our understanding of what's alive and conscious. It can include the natural world around us, which connects to the masculine and feminine energies. Taking us into a deeper view of ourselves and our connections to everything in the world, it can start to help us see a map of our soul and a deeper and simpler way to emotional healing and self-empowerment. It's about finding that balance, not just within ourselves, but also in how we consciously relate to the natural world around us.

This connection with nature is really essential to the Soul Bath practice. It's all about tapping into those powerful energies and forces of nature, the earth and the sun for deeper emotional healing and transformation.

The practice is simple. It's designed it to be quick, something you can easily integrate even if you have a really busy schedule.

"After 30+ years of earnest searching and methodically applying what I found, feeling that even with Tantra, selfless work, chanting, yoga, satsangs, meditation, working with the masculine and feminine archetypes there was still something missing.

Now I can honestly say that I have found a distilled format that goes all the way and heals the causes of key pain points, that I can use every day.

It is short enough to sustain and it supports me through the healing processes of the different layers that are brought up by the wheel of life.
I intuitively started using the findings from my shamanic spirit-world journeys with the drum in my daily meditation practice. This has slowly developed into a methodical daily practice over the past three years, in which I speak the key shamanic actions of clearing and invoking healing energies from the earth and the sun as well as sitting in two specific embodied energy postures.
This is a key practice to help men methodically come out of a slump and gain inner strength and harmony in life and relationships.

This practice is ideal if you want to integrate your personal development, your spiritual growth into a meditative practice.
I have started teaching the Soul Bath practice and been giving the Men’s Initiations."

Who is Soul Bath For?

  • Men seeking to reconnect with healthy masculine qualities:

    • Many men today feel caught between the pressure of toxic masculine stereotypes and the powerlessness of not knowing how to express true strength. Soul Bath guides you toward a balanced, harmonious masculinity—free from past wounds.

  • Individuals dealing with emotional triggers:

    • If you often feel "triggered" by events, conversations, or conflicts that bring up unresolved feelings of anger, sadness, or pain, Soul Bath offers a way to heal those deeper emotional layers.

  • Anyone looking for spiritual and personal growth:

    • Whether you are on a spiritual journey or simply seeking a greater sense of emotional balance and well-being, this practice integrates shamanic principles and personal development techniques that help you shed emotional weight and grow into your full potential.

What to Expect From the Practice

While healing takes time, the Soul Bath practice is designed to fit into your daily life. It requires a firm commitment, but the results can be profound. As you regularly release layers of old emotional energy, you’ll experience:

  • Greater emotional stability: Less triggered by everyday situations and better equipped to handle life’s challenges with grace.

  • Enhanced relationships: As you heal, you’ll find your relationships—romantic, family, and professional—improving. People will feel emotionally safe around you and more drawn to your clear, balanced energy.

  • Personal empowerment: Through consistent practice, you’ll feel lighter, stronger, and more aligned with your true self. You’ll no longer be weighed down by unresolved pain but instead, embrace your natural strength.

  • Greater connection to the world around you: bathing in and connecting with the healing energies of the earth and the sun, you will naturally have a greater sense of belonging in the world and be able to connect to nature and those close to you.

"Men find themselves trapped between two distorted expressions of masculinity: the guilt-ridden, suppressed man, and the aggressive, 'alpha male' tyrant. Both are symptoms of a deeply embedded hierarchical system. My Soul Bath™ program offers a path to transcend these limitations, by reconnecting with the original, ancestral powers through core shamanic initiations and a simple daily practice.
