You don’t always need a plan.

Sometimes you just need to breathe,

trust, let go, and see what happens.

—Mandy Hale 

 spiritual Mentorship

Spiritual Mentorship is based upon the principle of animism: a value system that holds that all people, animals, plants, and landscapes are inhabited by unique spiritual essences.

Humans, as spiritual beings, are capable of interrelating with all of these allies. With animism as a foundation, Spiritual Mentorship supports building healthy, functional relationships with nature spirits, deities, and helping guides. Developing these relationships within a safe ritual container is what allows us to resource guidance, comfort, and perspective while cultivating a practice of reciprocity.

The method of mentorship that I offer has been influenced by 25 years of experiential spiritual exploration and development (see my About page). It is designed to empower you to forge your own unique relationships with the spirit realm by building upon the intuitive gifts you already hold, providing tools/techniques for safe interactions, and developing a spiritual skill set that will last a lifetime.

 Individuals who seek out Spiritual

Mentorship may…

  • Have had experiences with helping/nature/ancestral spirits, but are at a loss as to what to do with these experiences and are lacking possible next steps.

  • Feel like there is a spiritual/energetic component to what they may be currently struggling with, but have no one with whom to talk to candidly with.

  • Feel an unplaced sense of longing or that they do not “belong.”

  • Want tools to be able to regulate spiritual interactions through an embodied presence with healthy boundaries.

  • Desire a spiritual practice, but have no idea where to begin.

  • Be emerging from an institutionalized religious experience and hold views of fear around working with helping guides and spirits.

  • Have a desire to reclaim/revive dormant intuitive capacities to feel more “connected.”

foundations of spiritual mentorship

Intuition & Perception

Our ability to from connections with the spirit realm resides within our perceptive and intuitive abilities, which we all have. Often these abilities have been domesticated out of us, while the antidote resides in learning to trust ourselves while developing dormant perceptive capacities. When we dismantle the word intuition, we end up with IN - TO - COGNITION and cognition is simply "the process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses" (Oxford). With Spiritual Mentorship, we will identify the ways you best perceive and strengthen your intuitive potential.

embodiment

Embodiment is the practice of bringing our awareness to our physical body as an exercise to promote a sense of calm, steady, centering. Learning to be in or near our physical bodies can be a difficult task for many of us who reside in areas other than the material. With embodiment practice, we are more equipped to participate in spiritual relationships without losing ourselves.

journeying/trance work

Entering into a trance state, which is much like the calmness one feels when meditating, is the method we will use to intentionally become present with helping guides and spirit allies. It is in this state of awareness that we perceive the messages and guidance of those beings. Likewise, utilizing the drum journey (trance state accompanied by the beat of a frame drum) is another technique we may use to assist this "tuned-in" state. .

energy body hygiene

Our energetic bodies help us to interpret the world around us while acting as a sheath to maintain our personal power. Understanding and practicing good spiritual hygiene practices are a key component to maintaining emotional health, powers of perception, solid personal boundaries, and energetic sovereignty. We will look at the aspects of your life which compromise this body, and develop action steps to maintain and sustain this crucial part of your well being.

ritual arts

Ritual space is the “container” which holds your practice. Ritual satiates our thirst for communion with the divine. It makes the routine magical and helps our lives feel relevant, creatively connected, and meaningful. With Spiritual Mentorship, you will learn how to establish safe ritual protocols for yourself and learn how to incorporate protection, offerings, and gratitude into your ritual space.

altar building

Developing a power spot or altar space to support and amplify your interactions with the spirit realm is a sacredly creative task! As part of Spirit Work you will learn the steps of altar building; choosing and consecrating a location, intention, co-creation, maintenance, and reverence. 

Energetic Clearing

Clearing is a way to help diffuse stored emotional/spiritual energy in the body that may be producing "blocks" and often times, physical symptoms. Energy is neither good nor bad but often times becomes misplaced and needs to be re-aligned. Clearings bring balance to our internal energy (much like aligning the chakra system) while shifting areas of accumulation.

spiritual practice

Cultivating and maintaining a unique spiritual practice is another component of the mentorship process. Reflecting upon your beliefs, values, interests, and intentions for what you wish to achieve within a practice, we will develop a personalized practice for you that is simple and attainable.
