About Awen Depth Studio
Awen Depth Studio has its origins in 2015 when it was known as Awen Tarot, a small tarot business run by Kyra Paules, a massage therapist and social work student working out of spaces in Camp Hill, PA and Boiling Springs, PA (in the same building Awen Depth Studio is in now).
I shall sing of the awen, which
I shall obtain from the abyss
Through the awen, though it were mute
I know of its great impulses
I know when it minishes;
I know when it wells up;
I know when it flows;
I know when it overflows.
–Taliesin, “The Festival” from the Book of Taliesin, 13th century
The name ‘Awen’ spirit in flow, poetic muse, and creative inspiration gifted to the bards, poets, and seers.
Awen Depth Studio was born
For awen to exist, there must be relationship. We cannot be inspired unless we are open, and we cannot be open unless we have established a relationship, whether that is with the thunder, the blackbird or a god. Awen is cyclical in nature; we open and give ourselves and in doing so we receive in a continuous cycle. Letting go, releasing ourselves into the flow of awen allows it to flow ever more freely. We find ourselves inspired not only in the fits and bursts of enlightenment or inspiration, but at all times, carrying that essence of connection and wonder with us in our everyday lives.
But just what is awen? It is an awareness, not just on a physical and mental level, but also on a soul-deep level of the entirety of existence, of life itself. It is seeing the threads that connect us all. It is the deep well of inspiration that we drink from, to nurture our souls and our world and to give back in joy, in reverence, in a wild abandon, and in solemn ceremony.

About Kyra
Therapist, tarot & oracular reader, bodyworker, and depth practitioner.
Before opening my private practice, I worked for years in social services, advocacy, and trauma-focused settings. My background includes work with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, court and legal systems, prisons, crisis services, and community-based support. These experiences taught me how much it matters to be witnessed clearly and not to reduce one, or any of our experiences, to a diagnosis, a symptom, a case file, or a problem to manage.
Over time, my work has deepened into a symbolic, relational, and soul-centered approach. I draw from Jungian psychology, Marion Woodman’s body-soul work, dreamwork, tarot, mythology, parts work, somatic reflection, and trauma-informed care. In this space, we do not force quick answers. Rather, we stay with the images, questions, conflicts, and thresholds that reveal what is actually moving beneath the surface.
At Awen Depth Studio, I offer therapy, tarot readings, bodywork, groups, and symbolic tools for personal practice. Whether through a session, a dream, a card, a poem, a body-based practice, or a shared group conversation, my work is about creating space for the inner life to speak, however slowly, honestly, and without being rushed into something palatable.
“The more you work with your dreams and your unconscious, and honor it, the more you understand it and it understands you.”
— Marion Woodman
