Gene Keys Guide

How do we transform our shadows into gifts,
so we can meet non-love with love?

The Sage’s Golden Path Activation Sequence Online Retreat runs from January 6th to April 28th, 2026.

Early bird deadline for the Activation Sequence Online Retreat ends December 1st!

"The Gene Keys are not an easy quick-fix system that tell you what to do. They are a deep mythic tapestry of insight, and the Golden Path puts the full responsibility of awakening back onto you where it belongs.”

– Richard Rudd

What Are the Gene Keys, and Why Should I Care?

The Gene Keys are a contemplative map of your inner landscape…a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern insight that reveals the unique spectrum of your shadows, gifts, and highest potentials.

Rather than telling you who you “should” be, the Gene Keys invite you into a gentler, deeper relationship with yourself, helping you understand the patterns that shape your relationships, your purpose, and your emotional life. 

They provide a real source of connection to something you NEED…your own soul’s code…so that you can feel like you actually belong here.

It’s not about “optimizing yourself” in some selfish, perfectionistic sense. It’s about seeing how soft your edges actually are, so we feel much less separate from each other.

This isn’t just information…it’s a living wisdom, a practice that can help you shift how you meet your life, soften old defenses, and unlock the parts of you that have been waiting to be seen.

And for me personally (as well as many other people), it’s been truly life-changing…and I don’t say that lightly.

"Every time we heal a part of our heart, a little more of our greater being incarnates into the form. In time, we will come to manifest our higher purpose in life."

– Richard Rudd

How Will Our Journey Unfold?

If you’re joining the Activation Sequence leg of the global Sage’s Golden Path Online Retreat, I’m opening a small companion group for those who want deeper support, reflection, and guidance along the way. The Gene Keys community is large, and this group is intended to create more holding, clarity, care, consideration, and companionship for you as you walk the Golden Path.

This will be a small, intimate circle (no more than 12-14 people max), and you can join for an additional $50/month during the retreat.

The four-month Activation Sequence retreat (January–April), hosted by Richard Rudd (for the last time!) and the Gene Keys team, is already a beautiful, transformative journey. There will be live webinars, community calls, contemplative practices, and opportunities to explore your breakthroughs.

In our smaller group, we’ll gather as a circle each month for 1.5 hours (separate from our monthly Q&A calls – see below), reflecting together on the themes arising for you during each sphere of the retreat, exploring the Activation Sequence through a psychological and contemplative lens, and tending to the places where shadow, gift, and grace weave through your life.

In addition to our group sessions, you’ll also have the opportunity to receive individual support from me to help you understand and integrate your own Gene Keys profile…especially the subtleties that emerge when the psyche, the nervous system, ancestral patterns, and your keys all interact.

My intention is simply to offer a warm, grounded space where your insights can land…where you can ask your deeper questions, where the material has room to breathe and digest, and where you feel supported as you move through your own unfolding.

If this feels like the right kind of support for you during the retreat, I’d love to have you with us!

And either way, please accept my gift to you of 4 free hour-long Q&A sessions, one per month of the Activation Sequence, as long as you use my Affiliate Code to sign up for the Sage’s Golden Path Activation Sequence Online Retreat.

"You are a mystery and the Gene Keys Golden Path provides you with a route into your mystery, but the traveling is all up to you. You must put in the work. You must knock on the doors."

This session is a personal journey of self-exploration, using a contemplative practice. As your Guide, I am fully responsible for running the Q&A sessions, Study groups, Profile sessions, and any guidance or support I am giving you is to assist your own journey of self-discovery. I too remain a student of the  Gene Keys and I am neither a teacher nor a trainer. Your participation in this session is your acceptance that I do not provide any type of psychological, therapeutic support or other professional advice, nor I am able to assess if you are medically or psychologically fit to take part in the events. You accept that you are fully responsible for your own wellbeing, choices and actions. I shall not be liable for any physical, psychological, emotional, financial, or commercial decisions or damages you may incur after attending this event.

Here are some of the benefits you can expect to receive through this experience...

  • More awareness of your own (possibly previously unconscious) shadow patterns
  • Space and clarity to embody your important gifts, which may have been hidden or buried
  • Increased compassion for everyone, as we all work to hold our own shadows and small piece of the collective shadow
  • Moving the needle on something that’s felt stuck in place for a long time & a more tangible sense of freedom from deep burdens
  • Hope for our collective future, along with the courage to continue to process and explore shadow material

During each call, we’ll set the stage for our conversation with a brief meditation where I’ll invite you into an experience of coherence between your body, heart, and mind. (For those who know the work of Thomas Hübl, this attunement to the inner world will likely feel familiar as I have been trained in his method.) 

All live classes will be recorded, and the recordings will be sent to you within 48 hours after the completion of each call.

A little about Stacy...

I’ve been a clinical psychologist in private practice for more than twenty years, and I taught psychology courses at University of Colorado – Boulder for almost ten.  In 2019, I wrote a book about psychological astrology called Psychstrology: Apply the Wisdom of the Cosmos to Gain Balance and Improve Your Relationships.

On my mission to find meaning and order (and much-needed self-compassion), I first found practical healing from astrology via feeling seen by the Universe. Eventually, that relationship evolved into a much deeper sense of trust and belief that there’s an important meaning and order to life, and that it’s holding us all – which is another way of saying that astrology paved my pathway into a spiritually rich existence. I spoke to this when I presented at the annual ACEP (Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology) Conference in May 2022.

I’ve benefitted greatly from a wider lens that includes intergenerational and ancestral healing, and I believe that synchronicity and intuition are the language of the Universe and our ancestors. I strongly advocate integrating systems of ancient wisdom into our modern psychological approaches of healing and knowing, to help us grow in the direction of balance and wholeness, both individually and as a profession.
