This book is a story and a companion for the season that asks you to let go of what has been holding you together. With Soul Inquiry prompts woven throughout, it guides you to hear your truth clearly, trust what your body knows, and come home to yourself.


There is a particular kind of exhaustion that does not come from doing too much, but from doing it while leaving parts of yourself behind, while staying impressive on the outside and quietly tightening on the inside, because the life you built makes sense and still something in you is not breathing.
The Burning Ground is a memoir and a guide for that moment when the story you have been living inside starts to feel too small. It was written with women in mind, but the pattern is human. Sometimes ambition is a clean word for avoidance. Sometimes stability is a clean word for fear. The body registers the difference long before we admit it.

Sometimes ambition is a clean word for avoidance. Sometimes stability is a clean word for fear. The body registers the difference long before we admit it.

Through Celinne’s journey across the world, through strangers who became mirrors, through uncertainty that became trust, you see what it looks like to be cracked open and reshaped by something greater than material wealth, societal expectations, or personal ambition, and then to return with what is real.
Each section closes with Soul Inquiry prompts, simple but precise, to help you listen with nuance and honesty, without distortion, without filters, without making what is true too small or too big.
If you have been holding it all together while aching for something more true within, start here.

Thank you for being here. If something in your life has started to feel like it no longer fits, a relationship, a career, a version of success you once wanted, a health wake-up that rearranged your priorities, this was written with you in mind.
The Burning Ground exists because I have seen how easy it is to keep achieving while quietly leaving yourself behind. We learn to stay impressive, to stay composed, to keep moving, and we call it strength. But your body keeps a different kind of record, and sooner or later it asks for honesty.
This book is for the woman who is capable and driven, and ready for something more true. Somewhere in my story, you will find yours, and the questions woven through it are for you. Read it slowly. Give yourself permission to feel what’s real, and let that be enough to begin again with clarity and steadiness.
With love and courage,

Celinne Da Costa left behind her prestigious job in New York City, the overpriced cocktails at the trendiest bars, the relentless hustle for the next best thing, and followed a longing she couldn't explain. For nine months, she couch-surfed her way around the world, allowing strangers to become her mirrors and trading uncertainty for trust.
The Burning Ground is what she found on the other side. It is a raw account of what it means to be cracked open and reshaped by something greater than material wealth, societal expectations, or personal ambition.
Walking her own hero's journey helped Celinne realize that our story is not the ultimate truth of who we are. It is an imperfect map that marks the territory of our soul's curriculum, holding our beliefs, memories, fears, and hopes.
Continually pointing us back to the patterns we've been repeating, the doubts we’re ready to release, and the narratives waiting for us to rewrite.

Utilizing story and stimulating Soul Inquiry prompts, it is a companion for the woman ready to hear her own truth, reclaim what she left behind, and begin again… on her own terms.
The Burning Ground is waiting. It will ask everything of you, but will give you yourself in return.
Who will you be when you finally step into the fire?

Raised between Italy, Brazil, and the United States, she is a woman of many worlds.

She now divides her time between the Mediterranean and South America, where she continues to write, coach, and explore what it means to come home to oneself. The journey doesn't end here. Visit celinnedacosta.com for ways to keep going.
