My name is Sean Terrence Moore. My friends call me Swan or Seany.
I grew up an hour north of New York City, went to college at Wash U in St. Louis, worked on Wall Street for 2 years, travelled the world working at an international non-profit called Acumen, became a yoga teacher and opened a yoga studio called Swans Nest Yoga in East Williamsburg, closed that yoga studio due to Covid-19, worked with my guys at Faherty Brand for 4 years, moved to Red Hook in August 2022, bartended at Fort Defiance (and Good Fork a little bit), and am now the proud founder of The Swan Club.
I started practicing yoga in February 2014, became a teacher in 2016 and by the grace of God had a spiritual awakening in February 2020. As students were lying in Savasana (resting pose) at the end of class, I asked a few rhetorical questions. “Now that your mind is quiet, you can ask yourself things like: “Who am I?”; “What do I want to do in life”; “What’s my deepest desire?”. Upon uttering that last question, three words spontaneously burst into existence in my Muladhara chakra (our first energy center located at the base of the spine). These three words were “to be gay.” Somewhat bewildered based on my 38 years of heterosexuality, I was intrigued by this new development. Though I wasn’t sure at the time, I soon realized this was a Kundalini energy awakening and not a new sexual identity. And yes, I understand its a spectrum :)
On July 23rd 2020, I took LSD for the first time in the comfort of my childhood bedroom in Mount Kisco, NY. When we were coming down from the trip, my friend asked me, “How was it?”. “Dude, that was amazing. Thank you so much for guiding me through. It’s kinda crazy, but I’m pretty sure I was molested as a kid.” This experience catalyzed an inspired mission to explore my subconscious, heal my psyche, and seek hidden truths that would set me free psychologically, emotionally, and physically.
I immersed myself in the growing movement of psychedelic therapy, completing a program in 2025 through InnerTrek to be a licensed facilitator for psilocybin services in Oregon, and also continued to conduct regular psychedelic sessions with LSD and psilocybin (separately) to explore my psyche and heal the trauma of sexual abuse. It’s been a wild ride - full of pain, darkness, and growth - but a path that has led me to exactly where I’m supposed to be.
My spiritual and healing journey over the last 6 years inspired me to create The Swan Club as a church with a mission to serve God by offering healing practices to others that have been sexually abused and also by creating a spiritual center for anybody looking for deeper connection to themselves, others, and the divine.
All are welcome - no matter your skin color, ethnicity, gender, sexual persuasion, politics, occupation, income level, religious beliefs or lack thereof. In The Nest we are all individual souls navigating our own evolutionary paths, and we do so in community. Let’s heal, grow and love together.
God is Love.
