We advance the constantly evolving landscape of qualitative methodology by integrating Organic Inquiry, a transpersonal, spiritually attuned research approach, with poetic ethnography, an arts-based method of data creation and dissemination. Rooted in transpersonal psychology, Organic Inquiry values intuition, transformation, and spiritual depth, positioning the researcher as both instrument and participant in a sacred co-creative process. Through five iterative phases; Preparation, Inspiration, Incubation, Illumination, and Integration the method invites the emergence of knowledge through relational attunement, humility, and embodied awareness. This approach resonates with decolonial feminist epistemologies that privilege relationality, intuition, and transformation over objectivity and control. We demonstrate this methodological synthesis through two poetic ethnographic artefacts created in contexts of global health and climate justice. Each poem, enacts affective and ethical listening, translating lived experience into collective witness and transformation. Collectively, Organic Inquiry and poetic ethnography constitute a transpersonal ethic of knowledge creation one that honours the sacred, emotional, and embodied dimensions of human experience. This fusion reimagines research not as representation but as transformation, where knowledge is revealed through presence and disseminated as living memory. By positioning poetry as both method and mirror, this paper offers a methodological contribution to decolonial, feminist, and spiritually grounded qualitative inquiry, inviting research as an act of healing and shared awakening.
