Foundations of Mysticism and Ritual
Foundations of Mysticism and Ritual is open to anyone interested in developing a personal relationship with the unseen realities, the web of life, and their own soul. Through three deepening stages of ritual process, we will explore transpersonal, psychic and intuitive development.
This course also prepares you to move into the healing practitioner training program if you feel called. The rituals learned in the second year of training are: soul retrieval, curse clearing, cord cuttings, ancestral healing, blessings for homes and spaces.
This is a hybrid course, with both online classes and in-person weekend intensives. To deepen your experience, there will be buddies assigned and periodically rotated for you to meet with so you can practice what you are learning.
