1:1 cultivation of your gifts

Throughout time, every sane culture has had a designation and a special place in society for those among them who are called to walk between this world and the spirit world and to act as an intermediary on behalf of the people of the tribe. In our culture, there is no such acknowledgement of the reality, usefulness, and even necessity of spiritual healers. Instead, they are commonly seen as charlatans or worse. 

This derogatory attitude towards people with spiritual abilities echoes the European nations’ long, dark, and bloody history of witch hunting over the span of three hundred years during the early modern period. This history is still very alive in the blood of all descendants of European ancestry today, as well as all people with cultures that have been oppressed by the rampant spiritual destruction of White colonialism.

In our internal landscape, the battle rages on between the modern paradigm of scientific materialism and the ancient one of animistic magic. Some of our ancestors talked to spirits, others spent their lives avoiding or debunking them in favor of “progress.” 

So many of us hear the whispers of our victimized foremothers and forefathers growing louder into shouts. Now is the time to re-member who you are, they say. Now is the time to throw off the covers under which your true self has been hiding and to initiate into the deeper mysteries of life and of death. Now is the time to hone your intuition like a knife and develop your spiritual gifts as your offering to the world.

In service to pursuing such a calling, it is important to find mentors who are walking the same road so that we don't have to figure it all out on our own, get lost, or turn away from our path altogether because of self-doubt or isolation. This mentorship program is designed to fill such a need.

My 1:1 mentorship program is designed for women who feel called to develop their unique spiritual abilities and gifts, and to hone those talents into a usable service for others. Because of the unique nature and circumstances of each mentee, there is no set curriculum for the program. Rather, we meet for long weekends a few times a year to engage in authentic inquiry as a primary tool for self insight and development.

Different areas that may be covered include:

The Elements of the Natural World
The Seasonal Cycle and its myriad of applications
Ancestral lines: powers and impediments
Intuitive abilities
Vocal & musical development
Clairvoyance & clairsentience
Somatic inquiry & regulation
Sensing & moving energy in self and others
Developing a relationship with sacred mushrooms as a guide

These are just a small handful of topics that could arise. The sky's the limit. One of my gifts is being able to see you clearly in your totality so that you can see yourself more clearly. We all have incredibly unique gifts to offer, and my mission is to coax your gifts out of you. You will have the opportunity to practice what you are learning alongside me as my assistant in guided journeys with Women for Women clients.

This program is intended for women who are already space holders, whether professionally or personally, or who feel nearly ready to step into that role in their own livelihood. Good candidates for this program have likely already been working with me through guided medicine journeys and/or online somatic sessions and feel ready to take the next step in their own empowerment.

The cost of the mentorship program is personalized based on each mentee's needs. I require a year-long commitment. I offer a substantial sliding scale for this program on an as-need basis with a letter of intent.

This includes:

(3) 3 day weekends of 1:1 guidance (each includes a guided journey) over 12 months
(12) monthly virtual 2-hour meetings
Opportunities to assist clients' guided journeys
Ongoing written communication and support

Please note: there is no graduation, nor any credential you will receive from this relationship. You may find instead that the confidence and interdisciplinary skill set you build through the personalized attention and care you will receive as a mentee far exceeds what you would be able to hone in a standardized training program.
