What is Mystery School?

Traditional Mystery School Session, TBA

In ancient cultures when one experienced a spiritual awakening, the tribal shaman was sought out to gain insight into this experience. The shaman would give the person instruction and boundaries in further stimulating spiritual awakening, resulting in powerful enlightenment, re-acquisition of spiritual gifts, healing, and a profound reconnection to All That Is. This process is also evident in indigenous cultures of shamanism. In many cultures this process evolved as Mystery School, an elaborate series of initiations designed to soothe spiritual emergency, foster intuitive growth, open higher awareness, and restore the ability to function actively within the Earth's etheric climate. The learning objective was unique to each student, as was each lesson. The impact of learning in this manner revealed to each seeker the mysteries of the Multiverse, in exactly the way most needed. Mystery isn't just about not knowing; it's about not having to know. It's about grasping enough of a truth to know there's more that will come to expand your awareness.

I teach in a three formats to meet the different needs of my students. My approaches include a class format, and traditional and distance Mystery School formats. Classes are generally one-day stand-alone engagements, except where noted, and the material covered in each is well described ahead of class. The curriculum for each classes is set and only self-directed in that your journey experiences are unique. Both approaches to Mystery School are based on a self-directed curriculum in that you are not made aware of the curriculum other than the session topic ahead of time. Traditional Mystery School also spans over several weeks, during which you have many exercises in class and as homework.

Each course offers the opportunity to demonstrate unique exercises in furthering your spiritual path; thus, each class is a unique initiation.

Traditional Mystery School
Prior to attending the first class, please communicate with me so that we have some level of rapport before class begins. This preparatory discussion helps me to help you stay on track through the session, and helps me to facilitate the dynamic of the group. Expect that we will remain in touch outside each class, as well. In keeping with that objective, we will do ecstatic journeying and other exercises each week designed to help you meet your objective.

You will not know ahead of time which exercises we will do on any given night. The element of it being a mystery keeps you from building expectations, placing limitations on your ability to grow. In that regard, you are your own mystery. You decide what you want to learn by opening to yourself, and with the progression of each class the Multiverse, in cooperation with your soul, delivers the lesson that you need, when you need it, for growth.

Please be prepared to talk about your progress openly in class. You do not have to divulge anything you don’t want to, but sharing your own information often helps others. Moreover, speaking your truth empowers your truth.

Requirements
Please have completed the Power Spirits Retrieval Class, or possess other comparable experience with shamanic journeying. If you are unsure of the breadth of your experience with shamanic journeying, let's talk about your comfort level and see if Mystery School is right for you.

There is homework. You will need to journey between classes to stay on task with your objective and to get the most insight possible to meet that objective. I will also require that you touch base with me individually during the off weeks via email, phone, or over coffee, to ensure that you are flowing in your chosen direction. If you need to talk with me about events transpiring from the techniques you are learning, or you feel stuck and require facilitated journey, we will need to do that in private sessions.

Location
Classes are taught in my home, in Fuquay Varina, NC, unless otherwise noted. Please note that I have pets, should allergies be a problem. As well, please inform me in advance of any accessibility concerns or physical limitations.

Supplies Needed For Class
Paper, pen, scarf, pillow, blanket (whatever you need to be comfy on the floor), light snacks (very light snacks and beverages provided), rattle and/or drum (if you have them). You will be made aware of materials needed for specific exercises in advance.
Supplies Needed For Homework
Shamanic drumming CD, available at the Dancing Moon Bookstore in Raleigh, or through mail order online.
