Mark T.J Keane, BSc (Hons) Psychology & Philosophy, following a spiritual awakening in 2003, has devoted his life to awakening the kundalini, and attaining Spiritual Enlightenment. He embarks on this quest as a very real, tangible and achievable goal, and inspires others to do the same.
Mark runs Sleeping Serpent, an organisation dedicated to bringing elevation to the world.
The Sleeping Serpent is a symbol of our potential. We only use a fraction of the potential energy within us, which has the ability to unlock untold wonders and abilities for us. Our potential is contained within our life force, which is the very same force of all creation. This life force has always been represented by the serpent, right across the world, and across the ages. This is because of the nature in which the force snakes, and spirals life into existence, from the spiralled shell of the tiny primitive sea life of the ammonite, to the spirals of our galaxy. It also snakes, and spirals up through our spine, in a central psychic channel known as sushumna, and has many names, but is most famously known in India as the Kundalini.
The serpent, therefore, in mythology always has the properties of healing, transformation, and wisdom, for these are the properties of our Kundalini life force. Because we are conditioned to go through life without much recognition of the limitless possibilities of our Kundalini force, it is said that we are sleeping, and our serpent energy sleeps, dormant, coiled three and a half times, at the base of the spine, awaiting the day where you will feel ready to call it into being. This is a glorious day indeed, the day you wake up, the whole universe becomes that little bit brighter.
This is why our organisation is called Sleeping Serpent, because we initiate powerful ways to awaken the Kundalini within you, safely, and naturally. The result is that you begin to realise your potential, ‘awaken to uncoil your true identity’, and become the super-human you were born to be!
Sleeping Serpent includes:
Kundalini Yoga : Mark is a fully trained and certified Kundalini Yogi. Having practicing this most powerful form of Yoga for over two decades. He qualified with 3HO, in Anandpur Sahib, Northern India in 2005, in the residence of Yogi Bhajan. Mark brought Kundalini Yoga to Bristol in 2006, and is one of the most recognised Kundalini Yoga teachers, serving the South West of England.
Kundalini Dance: Mark uses his natural ability through the powerful transformational medium of conscious dance, to reach states of absolute bliss and ecstasy. He trained as a certified Kundalini Dance teacher in Byron Bay, Australia in 2005, in the World’s first teacher training, and brought this practice to the UK in 2006, founding Kundalini Dance UK.
Mark is famous for conducting ‘Kundalini Fire Dance’ journeys, out in woodland, or sacred stone sites, using shamanic drumming, ritual, dance and sacred fire. We dance to honour the passing of the seasons, and accelerate personal liberation during these potent liminal times. These times are the eight points of the wheel of the old Celtic calendar, which is more in harmony with nature.
Through Mark’s extensive personal experience with his own training and practice, and guiding others, he is undoubtedly one of the leading experts on using the power of the Kundalini life force, and Chakra system for healing and transformation.
In the Summer of 2024, Mark received a series of Kundalini Awakenings, which led to the creation of a powerful system for kundalini awakening, called Kundalini Awakening System (KAS). This has to be taught live, either in person, or online as a private session, or private group.
Mark reignited the ‘Conscious Clubbing’ movement in the UK in 2010, which are alcohol, drug free dance events with positive energy and superfood.
This has now evolved into Kundalini Clubbing, the most advanced system of natural ecstacy through a powerful combination of Cacao Ceremony, Kundalini Yoga, Kundalini Dance, Conscious Clubbing and a Gong Bath. With co-creator, Kirsty Lewis and the team, Mark has hosted over 100 events in Bristol, Bath, Wales, and London. This has now evolved into retreats, which since 2025, are being hosted by England’s premier retreat centre, Leela, in Dorset.
Mark is now well known for running ‘next level’ transformational retreats around the world, using his considerable experience of Kundalini, contemporary shamanism and alchemy etc.
In 2025, these courses became the backbone of the new online mystery school, Mark’s Magical Mystery School, where membership grants access to a private and exclusive online community, in which Mark is present.
