“Mimi Young believes there’s a powerful creative current running through us… Learn how to tap into that energy.”
"Created by modern shamanic practitioner Mimi Young, it’s no surprise to learn that each and every product is interwoven with the energetic imprint of the spirit realm – to create a line that nurtures the beauty of the user, inside and out."
Ruby Warrington (The Numinous)
“Beautiful lady! I was able to listen to a podcast interview of you and it made me cry with how beautiful your story is. It was so wonderful to get to know you more by listening to it! You are an incredible being and you offer so much to this world. Xx hope to get to know you more as time goes on!”
Melissa Falabella
"Thank you for guiding us and seeing us through this amazing journey. I am cherishing my newly developed relationship with Tea. And slowly getting to know the Bagua archetypes as beings and look forward to finishing the rest of the modules! The most healing process for me has been the decolonization of my own relationship with the unknown. I’ve approach spirituality from the western lens (western astrology, tarot, etc.) in the past. To be able to come back to and approach this from my own cultural lineage and to have this delicately situated in the current cultural context that I’m living in is such a homecoming."

“I was down to try just about anything to feel a little chiller. ...I felt more reflective, aware of my own feelings, and, most surprisingly, secure and confident in those feelings."
"I mean come on Mimi- I see the cover title [of August's UNSEEN Magazine] and your timing could not be anymore perfect as I’m navigating this big time right now. I’m ready to dive in to read and already know this issue is going to be so supportive and loving and needed. Thank you. All the feels and all the healing opportunities for me. I’m ready to walk into this supported more deeply than ever before by the Seen and the Unseen. Grateful for all the MM teachings and YOU!!”

“Something that is interesting is how [Mimi] mentions plants being individuals.”
— Alex Elle @alex_elle
"I also loved Mimi's speaker interview on Wu Shamanism. As a Chinese person growing up in Asia, I really thought I'd seen it all but I'm so humbled to be proven wrong. Mimi opened my eyes to a whole aspect of my culture that I wasn't aware of, but felt intimately connected to all the same. Mimi, I have so many quotes from your interview written down because they resonated so much. You've truly helped me to connect with my ancestry in a way I've never done so before."

Readings
"The 5 Elements Zodiac Reading I had with Mimi was one of the most nourishing things I've ever done for myself. I didn't realize how much I needed someone to speak to me about who I am, particularly with her level of accuracy. Even though I've spent the past few years getting to know myself better and deconditioning myself with somatic work, shadow work, and shamanic work, Mimi's understanding of how I'm made filled me and helped me further destigmatize parts of myself. Highly recommend this reading!"
Shagufta Mulla
"One of the things I took away from our session, was recognizing the land that I live on, and giving gratitude for allowing me to live on this land because it's not mine really, and that idea of acknowledging the elements as beings it is actually life-changing. ...and that you offer the "now what" within a session or a reading you offer."
Robyn Brecker
"For one goop editor, a dreamwork session with Young revealed how specific recurring elements in her dreams—like flying in long leaps, public bathrooms with no doors, and characters she knew to be one person but appeared as another—represented recurring themes in her waking life. Once Young identified the meanings of each of these elements out loud, they made a lot of sense. Some represented obstacles in relationships and work. Others, personal gifts and talents."
Goop
"Thank you so very much for doing the reading for me. I have read it a few times and again find myself deeply moved. Your readings are beautifully written and always resonate deeply, so much to think about, so much emotion for me to read them. I often reflect on your readings, they become part of my life in such a special way. Thank you so much, Mimi <3"
Erin Plaster
founder of @SLOOMB
"Wow...I am so incredibly touched by your reading. Words can barely express. It brought me to tears when I first read it. I have never experienced a reading quite like it! Thank you so much!!!! I wanted to reply right away but I figured I would sit with the reading for a bit first. There are so many interesting, synchronistic symbols woven throughout the entire reading, its hard to know where to start. ... In general I just feel more supported throughout my day. I am looking forward to seeing where it is I go, and what my relationship with my spirit allies will become. The reading gave me so much hope and clarity."
Paige Eustatia
"I just wanted to send you my deep appreciation for the Remote Shamanic Session. I have been deeply working with the information and just being with all of the messages. I am grateful for your extraordinary gifts that you bring into this space and my life. I feel a sense of peace about our situation knowing all is and will be well for my family's highest good. I honour you."
Bernée Bolton
"Everything you were saying, it was as if you were an old friend that knew just what I was going through. You connected me to two friends that did know exactly what I was going through. You have a beautiful gift and I am so grateful that you could share it with me."
Gabrielle Petersen
"WOW!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! I felt it when you were journeying for me... this information is PERFECT and just what I needed... so much peace and clarity in my heart right now it all makes sense... This is such divine timing... So blessed to have such a beautiful messenger and fellow mystic in my life."

"I just received your Shamanic Reading. It actually made me very emotional. I'm glad to know that my daughter has these amazing and powerful protectors around her. That definitely makes me feel better.”

“…your readings had a profound impact on me. They have shifted my life immensely in words that I cannot describe. I also wanted to thank you for your by donation and discounted courses. There was a time where I could more than afford your readings and courses and due to recent events, even before COVID-19, I quickly found myself in the worst financial place I have ever been. I am very, very grateful for the opportunity you have provided for all of us. I am writing you because I wanted to let you know personally that the amount I am able to pay right now is not reflective of how much I value your work. You know the value of your work regardless of what I have to say about it. It is so powerful and has truly played a large part in saving my life. I have just lost so much that I don’t want to lose the growth I have accomplished in the last couple of months. Please understand that I am deeply sorry I cannot offer you more financial compensation. It is deeply admirable that you are opening up your offerings in this way when you also have your own family with children you need to make sure you can care for. I promise I am not taking advantage of your kindness. I am using a decent percentage of what I have financially, which is not much at all, because I deeply value you, your offerings, and the love and growth the have facilitated within myself. The amount seems shameful to me because of what the original pricing of your courses. I didn’t want your generosity to go unnoticed. Hopefully someday I can offer you more again. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Your studies and readings have been uplifting in a very difficult time. I do not take this for granted.”

"You provided me with an 'earthier', more tangible response to my question than I’ve received from others, allowing me to better appreciate the art of being embodied."

"Highly recommend a session with Mimi! I listened to mine back a year later and it was incredibly accurate and just as potent listening back."
Katie Buemann
"Shortly after our spirit channeling session, in which I was told to seek grass and hills, I had a very surprising opportunity to purchase a grassy, hilly property, in Montana, with my partner. I would not have jumped in so readily if not for the guidance that came through in our session; I believe actually that the opportunity would not even have come my way if not for our session. The steps leading to it were all intuitive and magical. I sense this is the “in between place” that Spirit had told me could be waiting. In any case, I’m overjoyed and mesmerized by this new land relationship, and the power of engaging with Spirit."
Mara Cur
"Thank you with all my heart, Mimi. It's amazing the 'coincidences' I'm noting. ...I'm just in shock and crying. Thank you so much and xie xie."
Mona Mok Founder of Feeding Mama
"Hi Mimi, I wanted to thank you for preparing us a wonderful and insightful dream presentation for our students. We loved it and thoroughly enjoyed having you in, Mimi. Thank you for contributing to the growth of our students here. The kids were buzzing this morning and sharing their insights from the dreams they had last night. I also found myself looking at my own dreams from a different perspective this morning. Take care and thank you so much for your time.”
C. Dempsey elementary school teacher
“I have had the honour of engaging with Mimi to journey for me on a number of occasions. Through this very personalized work, Mimi’s gift has afforded me an immense expansion of who I am on this earth. Understanding my life at a very different level has provided me with a guidance and knowledge that I wouldn’t otherwise have access to. Mimi’s ability of access this realm is beyond anything I imagined, until I experienced it. She is sweet, caring, generous and provides a level of description of her journey’s that created a feeling of being right there with her. For anyone who wants to expand their experience in this lifetime and is open to all that is available, I would strongly recommend engaging with Mimi. Thank you so much dear sweet Mimi, your gift to the world is priceless.”
Patti Telford
Registered Nurse + Functional Nutritionist
"It’s been awhile since my session with Mimi, and I still regularly notice its impact on me. Many of the things Mimi said have become guiding and grounding forces in my life. I highly recommend working with her in any capacity, she doesn’t tell you about yourself, she invites you into the process of unfolding into who you are. She’s clear, kind, and receptive."

SKIN care
"Ceremonie has changed my life in every way. Ceremonie has shown me just how powerful mantras and intentions can be. I never realized how powerful nature could be ...until these products."
A. K.
"I can be a bit of a skeptic when it comes to skincare. I just wanted to say, even though it's only been a couple of weeks, my skin looks amazing. I actually felt it looked better after 1 week. Even skin tone and no more minor skin irritation, which I used to get every two days or so. So happy!! Thank you, Ceremonie!!"
C. T.
"I just wanted to send you a special Thank You for my beautiful box that arrived today. I truly felt like it was Christmas morning, opening up my order. Your products are SO Divine, I always end up taking pictures, as I unbox, because every aspect of detail is beautiful and a whole experience to behold. I am working my way to having one of each of your products, at least, near my altar. Your creations are my FAVORITE gifts to buy for myself, and I am putting together an order that I will place in the coming months, that will turn into gifts for my best friends. I cannot wait for them to be graced by your cosmic elixirs!"
Megan C
"I love the Cleansing Milk!!! It’s seriously awesome, makes my skin happy, and lasts me a long time."
Jillian Stroze
"Your product saved me again the other night! I can really feel the vibrational difference with your product. When I use your stuff I can feel my energy uplift, I feel re-vitalized from the inside out. I do not normally get those results from other creams!"
Julie Beyer
"I was amazed how quickly I saw results with the Ceremonie skincare line. With a personalized facial consult, I was able to address and target my dry, dull skin and dark eye circles. I could feel the remarkable difference it left on my face; I have more radiant, even-toned, and hydrated skin."
W. C.
"Do you love your skincare so much you get excited to put it on your face? I do! And does my fiancé!"
Claire Gabereau
"I love the Facial Serum! My skin cleared up quickly and it feels so hydrated."
Finn Parkes
"I have finally found a line of cosmetics that matches and surpasses the products I was using in France!”
Valerie Mermet
"Since using Ceremonie's Cream and Eye Serum, I've been getting compliments about my confidence every time people see me. My skin feels supple and nourished. I've even noticed how I'm less critical about myself. Highly recommended!"
Candice Wu
"Over the past few years, I have broken out of the pattern of really cheap hair and skin products from big grocery stores and have been using natural products like Ceremonie and have seen a big difference in the overall health of my hair and skin. They smell great too - The Ceremonie Beard Oil smells extremely fresh and mountainous and the design of the bottle fits in nicely with the other products on my shelf."
Taylor Gavinchuck
"Mimi, I LOVE the Eye Serum! It is SO concentrated and LUXURIOUS!"
Ann Lin
AURA care
"I use the protective mist every day in the office before I see patients and I truly think it’s helping me to avoid taking people on in my aura so much. Thank you for your beautiful work."
Steph K
"Thank you so much! I'm obsessed with the products I've tried so far <3 you do such a beautiful job!"
Kristina Marie
“Mimi is doing something remarkable with Ceremonie. I have never come across products quite like this, and it has definitely helped me dive further into my spiritual journey and curiosity, while heightening my vibrational sensitivity and awareness. Not to mention the Eye Serum has been a life saver for my bad sleeping habits, and I can't wait to switch out some more of my old products with this collection."
Alli Hayes
“I have had some very profound experiences when using your plant medicines. Last night I poured some of the Solstice Elixir with the Frequency of Surrender into my bath. The oil gently seeped into my sink and afterwards, in bed, I finally surrendered, stopped holding and avoiding and felt some deep sadnesses. I had lock away all personal sadness and not allowed myself to feel that for myself. It was such a relief to finally meet that part of myself. Your Surrender Elixir supported me to go there, to feel, the be with myself. THANK YOU.”
Laura Brough
“I have to say I was in a confused mess with my career before I met you and your magical products; as I was in a transition.... Your products are beautiful and magical, I know it all comes from your beautiful heart. That’s why it is so powerful. I’m picky with what I put on myself and honestly you and your products have helped me connect with my guides and most importantly my true authentic self whom I’ve neglected and dishonoured for way too long as I had been too busy living for others. If only you knew the extent you and your products have supported me since. ️I am truly grateful for you and your beautiful work from the depths of my being.”
Cyndi Sia
"The Spell of Roses couldn’t have dropped at a better time. This kept me centred during a week-long family vacation with no alone time, and has been exceptional to use in between a busy work schedule! I can’t recommend it enough. I even used it as a facial toner after a long day out in the sun, it was very soothing."
Alli Hayes
"Love the new spray! The rose feels refined, mature and deep and unexpectedly grounding."
Julie Beyer
"Looking for the highest quality essential oil infused products? Look no further."
Heather Pennell
"A sense of well-being and a calm yet energized feeling transpire when I use the Ceremonie line; there is something very unique and special about these all natural, ethically sourced and healing products. I have been using items from the collection for the past six months with wonderful results. The attention to detail in the packaging, with special notes, reveals a depth of commitment by the company that extends into their product line, which aligns well with my life. Thank you Ceremonie."

RETREATS & events
"The space. The company. The conversations and the food! It was such a nourishing and replenishing day. Thank you Ceremonie for holding the space and for feeding us!! ...Time slipped by like silk through the fingers."
Luyi Wang
"MIMI IS THE SHIT FOR REAL. THIS WAS AMAZING AND SHE IS AN INCREDIBLE TEACHER. GO LEARN WITH HER, I WILL SEE YOU IN CLASS!"
Joan Trinh Pham
“… the quality and quantity of what is experienced in this container is truly unparalleled.”
Flory Huang
"I thought it was a retreat to learn how to write, and instead it was using writing as a tool to work through all the things."
Anastasia Chomlack
"Mimi has an incredible gift for creating space for that which needs to be translated. The combination of shamanic work and art therapy allows for a gentle, open and creative channel to explore deeper messages and connect with allies. This work is both provocative and profound."
Natalie Edwards
"I came to Mimi's writing retreat not exactly knowing what to expect but knowing Mimi's previous offerings, I had a feeling it would be so much deeper than I could have imagined. The magical thing about this retreat is that it shifts your relationship with words altogether. You come in thinking we'd spend time rearranging words or dealing with form in some way but instead you leave with words as your intimate friends that you can take on the life journey with you. Now that's magical."
Olena P
"Really, truly, our magick work together is changing my life and my family/community here in really beautiful ways, Mimi. Thank YOU."
Vanessa Lindsay-Botten
“When I booked the retreat with Mimi, I was honestly just looking forward to some well needed rest and healing time on the Sunshine Coast. What I got was a full on experience in Wonderland, falling down the rabbit hole and coming home... to myself. Through Mimi's guided journeying, dream analysis as well as the shared stories in our circle of women- a deeper level of healing was initiated. I left the retreat more confident in myself, more in tune with my heart and truly open to a different way of living. There are no words that can describe my appreciation for working with Mimi and our Circle. This work is not for the faint of heart for it truly opens you up to a magical whole hearted life- and you'll never want to go back to the old way. So if you're ready to come home to yourself, to shake things up- why not follow Mimi down the rabbit hole and explore Wonderland for yourself?”
Emily Williams
"I loved Mimi Young. I loved how authentic and real Mimi is. She wasn't over the top spiritual in her way or in her talking (how she talked and what she talked about). She was so real and authentic. I loved it!!"
attendee at the Women of Color Summit: The Art of Authentic Living
"I am so glad to have crossed paths with you and to have been led to this course. I regularly think of how grateful I am for you, your counsel, for our spirit family and allies, and for what magic and insight the Evoking series has brought through for us. The inspiration and ideas keep coming, and I finally feel less alone and sturdy enough to help bring the work into being."
Brittany Houston
"Very potent sensory experience for me throughout. I was in awe of the beauty and atmosphere of Mimi's home. Being present with our day activities including making pickled vegetables and floral soda, enjoying the delicious homemade lunch, and conscious rest time has allowed me to enter into reunion with my 5 senses."
Shengyin Gui
“I left the retreat more confident in myself, more in tune with my heart and truly open to a different way of living. There are no words that can describe my appreciation for working with Mimi... This work is not for the faint of heart for it truly opens you up to a magical whole hearted life- and you'll never want to go back to the old way. So if you're ready to come home to yourself, to shake things up- why not follow Mimi down the rabbit hole and explore Wonderland for yourself?”
Emily Williams
"This morning's Magick of Tea was so powerful and tender. I'm so grateful and amazed how you and Tea gently revealed shadows and energetic supports within the short 2 hour container. I am even grateful for the tears and re-connecting with memories and deeper meanings and symbolisms for healing and understanding."
Mona Stilwell
"These Saturday morning offerings are so precious to me and have had such an impact ever since I started attending in the late Summer or early fall last year. You hold space in such a way that I imagine every person in the room feels welcomed and valued, I know I do."
Sarah Trivett
mystery mentorship
“I just wanted to say thank you for this beautiful space that you've held for all of us. I hadn't yet written my testimonial because I feel the moment I write something, I'm only going want to write more. [The Mystery Mentorship] has been so potent, so magical, and it really, truly asks us to confront ourselves in the most authentic, genuine and loving way. And I find it to be so special, so thank you.”
Charlene Chang
"MM Wood + Metal module felt like a portal that transported me back to myself: a version that recognizes the surrounding trees and household mugs for the kindred beings that they are. I deepened my connection to practical mundane magic surrounded by a warm and wise community. Thank you Mimi, I am so grateful."
Amy Chou
"... I feel honoured to be mentored by this revered witch. She is a crone with wisdom that brings me to my knees. Being in mentorship with [Mimi of] @shopceremonie for the last 1.5 years has attuned my reality into pure fucking magick."
Megan Oxley
"Mimi is a true teacher in that she is not here to just repeat her own knowledge; she does the more difficult work of guiding her students to make discoveries for themselves." The Mystery Mentorship is an incredibly comprehensive and flexible course that can help you rediscover magical living in a way that is nourishing, grounded, and responsible. I've always disliked the terms Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine. I find that people attach them to whatever their own personal vision of a perfect 'woman' or 'man' is, putting the terms in constant flux. Or, the umbrella gets so wide in an effort to encompass every arbitrary quality of every god and goddess that the categories become meaningless. [Mimi's] transmission of Yin and Yang offers a dualism that seems to me so much more queer inclusive (especially in the context of the yin/yang and gender makeups of the 8 Ba Gua archetypes) and more enduring. It's a pleasure to be invited into that interpretation."
Ethan Hardy
“The most healing process for me has been the decolonization of my own relationship with the unknown."
Luyi W.
"This mentorship has been so transformative in ways that I don’t even have words to convey the depths of."
Ruby Minji Hwang
"The Mystery Mentorship was as resourceful, as it was joyful, as it was powerfully transformative for me and even months later I am relishing in its magic. It is such a gift to learn from Mimi who is integrous, embodying what she teaches wholly and responsibly, time after time. Her sharing of knowledge and care for her community inspires me; the quality and quantity of what is experienced in this container is truly unparalleled. Deepening my understanding of Chinese esoterics was a timely being-home with(in) myself— and my ancestors— so nourishing especially in a world grappling with global trauma. It was a beautiful and visceral experiencing in heart, mind, flesh, bones, cells. As a daughter to Taiwanese immigrant parents, my childhood and adolescent relationships with them struggled because communication styles and language barriers frequently barred me from really understanding the culture they were living and teaching me; MM connected and healed so much for me on personal, cultural and spiritual levels as I learned and remembered in retro and introspection. Thank you so much for a truly mystical offering. Thank you for being you!"
Flory Huang
“Mimi often talks about “pinch me” moments, and for me the Mentorship is one of them. For years I’ve followed a plethora of Instagrammers, podcasters, authors etc. in the general spiritual field, and their work, while so captivating, always felt so out of reach. Only two weeks in and I’m floored by how jam packed the Sunday sessions are, and how the lessons linger & permeate my every day life. I’ve learned to trust myself more in the last 10 days, than I have in the past 10 years, so fucking pinch me I can’t believe I get to do this!! The old witch in me is rejoicing the baby witch who is learning to take her first few wobbly steps & it’s truly all thanks to Mimi.”
Tena Prostran
"The way you teach, however, gives life to what are often conveyed as concepts. You have a way of returning their power and voice to them: the I Ching, Wu Xing, and Bagua. And in so doing, we are able to reclaim our power and voice for ourselves. For that I am most grateful. "
Charlene Chang
"Mimi, what an honor to learn from you especially when you are so good at teaching us how to be in deep and divine relationship with ourselves. To me, that is the most beautiful way to learn about boundaries, to go from where we are and we desire and want instead of using words and the broken colonialist way of separating yourself from others."
Jamie
"Mimi layers each module of the Mystery Mentorship beautifully, and my resulting spiritual practice has been transformative. I can see Earth, Air, Fire, and now Water showing up in my life because Mimi provides the tools to both receive and work with the elements. I feel like I’m a different person but also not different at all. For as long as I can remember, my life has been an exhausting balancing act centered around figuring out how much I'm willing to allow others to reduce my self-worth while still retaining as much of myself as possible. I now understand that I do not need to invite the toxic expectations of others to the negotiation table to determine my value as a person — there is no negotiation to be had. That alone has changed my life, and now I am working on true healing without compromise."
Kimberly Hollman
"I don’t think I have words to express how much joining the MM [Mystery Mentorship] has impacted my life. I’ve spent the last several years dabbling in a lot of spiritual work, but never really finding anything that fit. This is really the work that is putting me back in touch with myself, empowering me to get to the root for myself, instead of tying me to a certain program or healer. Things in my life were shaken up during fire & water, and the beginning of the year was fairly difficult for me. But I found that I had tools and practices to anchor me during these storms, that helped me through another transformation. I’m finding I can much better help myself, answer my own questions, instead of looking outward for advice or answers constantly."
Valerie L.
“I deepened my connection to practical mundane magic surrounded by a warm and wise community. Thank you Mimi, I am so grateful."
Amy Chou
“I have been able to begin building a solid foundation for my own practice and with it the confidence to share my gifts with others. I am so thankful I was called to join the Mystery Mentorship, and to be honest, I'm happy I joined at week nine. Catching up in a short time frame forced me to focus on the material daily, pushed me to journey daily, and caused me to begin re-membering parts of me long forgotten. I feel empowered, affirmed and fulfilled. I have been searching for this knowledge and wisdom for a long time and to have it in a consumable, structured format is a blessing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Nicholas Blevins
“...it was powerfully transformative for me and even months later I am relishing in its magic. It is such a gift to learn from Mimi who is integrous, embodying what she teaches wholly and responsibly, time after time. Her sharing of knowledge and care for her community inspires me; the quality and quantity of what is experienced in this container is truly unparalleled.”
Flory Huang
"Four years ago I walked away from a serious relationship and "dream" job because I felt they were both distracting me from my life's purpose. In the years that followed, and in the light of a Saturn return, I tried tirelessly to make sense of my day dreams that would show me the life I believe I came here to live. When I would share these thoughts with others they whole-heartedly believed in me and could really see me doing it, but for some reason I never could. I often felt like I couldn't see anything, or that maybe I was crazy . . . just like my dad. It is weird having the feeling that you were born to be a radical/revolutionary – because as electrifying as it is, it is also stiflingly heavy. And before your mentorship I was struggling to contain both of those emotions. In connecting with the Mother Peace deck, hearing your wisdom and education on decolonization, and learning the multiple spiritual practices you have shown us – I have found stability. For four years I have been waiting for a parachute and this mentorship has shown me that it is never coming. I cannot go back to who I was and the world I have been trying my whole life to belong in, doesn't need me to belong. Instead, the world needs me to help re-shape it so that we can all belong and co-create a better one. I still can't see it all but what I do know is that I am no longer hiding from my purpose but navigating within it. As my final fun fact, I wrote 2 goals at the start of 2020 with absolutely no idea where to start (see attached). They were: 1) I will have seen and access to my own past lives and 2) I will live in my purpose as a plant medicine woman through food - and thanks to your mentorship I have found both :)"

@colourmyaura
“Thank you for a wonderful two weeks thus far with yourself and the lovely beings that are are part of the Mystery Mentorship program. Can I first say that Mystery School has never been more Aquarian age-y than this, and I love it. The lessons learned so far (as part of this mentorship, as well as your other offerings) have allowed me to stay more grounded in myself. Be more myself, free of any paradigms that have been consciously or unconsciously on Her. Additionally, to not fear the unknown, be it the occult, life, everything in between (and beyond). I am very grateful to have been led towards Ceremonie. Words cannot explain it, but I’m sure you understand the magic i speak of. And of course, grateful to you, as a teacher + practitioner, to give me enough to explore this on my own confidently day-to-day, while still having an lighthouse to anchor to weekly. Thank you for this connection to my Self, my ancestors, and other beings. “
Sarah Chay
"Mimi’s unconditional love and support shines through the level of thought and care she places in her offerings. I have never felt so welcomed in a space due to her loyal acknowledgements and fierce boundaries. Even when accessing recordings, Mimi's presence penetrates through the screen to offer what is often a deeply profound and intimate experience. Many of the tools Mimi has shared have become practices of intuition as well as creation that will underpin my own for the years to come. Thank you Mimi for enabling me towards witnessing my world with a more wondrous gaze."
David Kam
“I had the pleasure of interviewing Mimi on my podcast recently, when I learned about her Mystery Mentorship offering. I knew nothing about shamanic journeying or altar work and it was during the interview that I first heard the term Chaos Magick. But I now 100% believe that Mimi and her world is a gift from the Universe. In the short time I have worked with her and been in this program, I have opened up a whole new connection to Spirit that I never knew existed. I’ve now journeyed six times, met my Key Spirit Ally and Psychopomp! Her knowledge and wisdom is insanely vast, and I appreciate how upfront and real she is. Mimi has become a role model for me, defying all the trends and images you conjure in your mind when you think “shamanic witch.” Magic is something I never thought I would be interested in but find myself growing increasingly curious the more I learn and experience. Mimi's unapologetic approach to her shamanic practice and her truth makes her an incredible teacher. So grateful to have been brought to this unique spirit.”
Ellen Wong co-founder of @DAUGHERSBRAND + @WOOKNEWPODCAST
“Before starting the apprenticeship, I wasn't sure if I could actually connect with spirits in a communicative way. During our second lesson we put theory into practice as Mimi led us in three Shamanic Journeys. During the first two I met my ally but doubted it was real and wondered if I was just forcing my imagination. For the third journey we pulled a tarot card without looking at it and asked our ally to describe the card. During this last journey I continued to doubt what was coming through. When I flipped the card over I was awestruck by the accuracy. I can no longer doubt my ally, or myself! This will certainly take some practice but I am confident that I can do it - anybody can!”
Michaela Burke
“In a handful of weeks, the Mystery Mentorship program has revealed hidden layers that I've been seeking to uncover for years. Of all the dualities that exist, Mimi's Mystery Mentorship does not disappoint. Both easy and challenging, the pace of the program flows. Mimi provides content that is intellectually stimulating and encouragingly revealing. On the surface, the subject matter feels approachable and easy because it embodies simple truths of the universe. That being said, the level of depth that Mimi reveals through oral storytelling and lecture, uncovers a new world of thought that requires hard, rewarding work. I invested in the entire program and am very happy that I did. Reflecting on my evolution in only 7 weeks, I cannot wait to see where I am a year from now!”

"I wanted to share some of my feelings and experience being in the Mystery Mentorship since the beginning, almost a year ago. I cannot believe that it has been that amount of time! I feel like I am not the same person I was when I entered this mentorship. So many versions of me have died and been reborn, and I have to say that I could not be more grateful.
When I saw your offering for the Mystery Mentorship, it resonated with a deep desire inside of me that always wanted to learn about The Unseen, yet I never knew how, and it had always felt "taboo" due to my conditioned beliefs. This mentorship has been the safe haven to find ALL of the answers to my questions and MORE! I have never felt so at home in my body, in nature and within a community, as I have in the Mystery Mentorship.
I have a LONG list of stories I could share about all the ways this Mentorship has shaped me, challenged me, moved me and supported my growth. The skills I have learned, feel like they always belonged to me, and now they are in my "tool-kit" for life. I especially appreciate the deepening of my intuitive senses, that I had previously ignored, due to conditioning that they were not important. I found EARTH module to be instrumental in re-connecting me to the land and all her inhabitants. This led to a home-coming in my own body, which has continued to bless me daily. In AIR, I learned that Divination was possible, along with so many beautiful gifts that have empowered me as a spiritual being. It was here that I learned the importance of energetic boundaries, and how that allows for safety and sovereignty. FIRE module was a time of pure, dynamic transformation on all levels of my being. I still am processing the changes that were made during this time. WATER has opened up psychic connections and taught me how to receive in the most beautiful ways. These are only a handful of ways that this program has changed my entire life. As I mentioned, the list is extensive, and I mean it with my whole heart, I am forever transformed.
I was able to set a boundary with alcohol.. through a shamanic journey to the Lower world, which allowed me to abstain from the substance (something I had been struggling to do for over a decade). Once I became alcohol-free, I was granted awareness of the childhood trauma I was "numbing" with alcohol. The healing of my inner child is almost entirely attributed to this practice. I have faced my shadow, my internalized colonialism and all the ways that affected my perspective and my vibration. I have learned how to soften my heart, how to respect my self and others and how to make mistakes, and own up to them without fear. I have learned about my intuition, how she speaks to me, so subtly. I have learned that we all have differences in gifts and that makes for a very interesting and creative environment.
Finally, I have found my true passion, which was really always my passion, I just didn't believe in myself enough to pursue it. I love working with animals, and finding them homes and helping them in any way I can. Since being in this mentorship, I have started making the necessary steps in starting a non-for-profit animal rescue. This is a long road to follow, and there are many visions supporting my dream, and I am so driven to fulfill this desire. I talk to animals and plants more than I talk to actual humans these days, and I kinda like it hahahah.
I have so much gratitude in my heart to have the opportunity to learn from you, as your wealth of knowledge and the depth of your heart is so vast. It is hard not to be completely enthralled with everything you teach. I truly admire and honour you with all of my heart. Thank you so much, for offering this treasure, for showing me the way to answer a deep calling from within. Saying "Yes" to this program was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I hope to always walk by you in the Spirit realm and beyond, and learn from your magical ways!"

"Hi Mimi, I just wanted to share that I took my first course ever with you, the intro to shamanic journeying as part of one of the Mystery Mentorship modules. I didn’t know what to expect and was a bit nervous actually…but it was so beautiful 😍. My experience was safe, loving, heart opening. I can’t wait to dive into more. I just wanted to share :)"

"I entered into the Mystery Mentorship program because I was drawn in by Mimi's authenticity, ethics, and strength. I had taken some of the on-demand courses and it helped to reignite a world for me that I had walked away from a long time ago. After entering the program, there was a dramatic shift in my life that felt like constantly fighting the current, to flowing along with it. I love that in the program that there is an encouragement to stretch ourselves, but continually test our engagement and beliefs against our ethics and what we hold to be true. This program asks a lot of each individual, but it gives backs in ways that you can't imagine. Be brave, and jump in with both feet!"

“Powerful, illuminating, and deeply transformative, Mimi’s work expands beyond the realm of oracular wisdom. Through her own unique lens, she shares a wealth of accessible and practical doorways through which we can learn to unlock even more forms of sacred living, as we are guided to connect with the beautiful mysteries of the unseen.”
"I'd like you to know I enjoyed the Fire module thoroughly, and I learned way more than I ever expected. With the practices we explored, and the confidence that you transmit through your teachings, I've managed to set off some significant changes in my life and I'm committed to riding the wave through..."

"I don't feel that words quite have enough nuance for me to pinpoint the gratitude that I hold and the depth of value that I find in Mimi's wisdom and guidance. I want to acknowledge that, by stepping into who she is and by walking the path she is on, Mimi is illuminating a map for those of us of Han Chinese heritage, who have been swimming against the currents our entire lives. She is supporting us in our journeys back to the core of who we are, and gifting us access to the re-planting of our ancient roots. Now that we see a path—understanding that we all have our own paths—we can begin to walk towards it. Thank you, Mimi for putting language to that mysterious force and doing the difficult work of translation so we can understand the meaning behind our shared folk practices. I am very grateful, and I appreciate you."

“Words can barely express my experience so far in the Mystery Mentorship. I stumbled upon Mimi’s work about a year ago. I booked a private reading with her that spoke to me on such a profound soul level I almost felt as though I was in shock. It brought tears to my eyes (a big deal for this recovering ice queen!) and for the first time in a long time I was waking up remembering my dreams. Long vivid dreams that began teaching me. So when I first found out that she would be offering a mentorship I knew I had to be apart of it. It has been about 5 weeks now. It has been transformational to say the least. So often I think we can read about or hear about “doing the work” but there is a disconnect between reading about something, and then actually doing it. Mimi has the beautiful gift of creating a space that encourages your own unfolding, whatever that may look like for you. In these past couple of weeks I have started building connections to ancestors, animal spirit allies, plant allies and even food in ways I never imagined possible. Learning about my gifts, my shadows, and how I am and am not showing up for myself. Even my relationship to the tarot, which I have had for many years now has shifted and grown deeper with journeying...and we haven't even gotten into the tarot lessons yet!!! It has only been a short amount of time, and already I am not the woman I was at the beginning of this mentorship. I feel like I am being cracked open and finally stepping into the person I was intended to be. Life has gotten more magical and my heart feels full of gratitude for this opportunity.”

“Thank you for an incredible [Mystery Mentorship] class today. In true Pisces season fashion, I found myself with tears flowing from start to finish. What a beautiful connection that was cultivated today."

"Participating in the replays of our big group meetings feels very 'real time' for me, more so than any other replays I've engaged with in the past. I have a very real sense of being in the same space & time with you all, nodding and smiling with genuine pleasure and tearing up with the vulnerable shares. Somehow this is helping me to be present with my local community in an easeful, sustainable, more open, stronger, and more pleasurably authentic way. Thank you for sharing your hearts and shares and our collective magick!"

"Really, truly, our magick work together is changing my life and my family/community here in really beautiful ways, Mimi. Thank YOU."

"I first heard Mimi's voice on a podcast in 2018. I was intrigued and found myself learning from her through podcasts, through her IG posts, and through her blog (now Substack). In the past I've had some pretty cringy experiences working with "spiritual" teachers and had thought I would never pay to work with someone again. But then in May 2020 I had the opportunity to work with Mimi virtually through the Mystery Mentorship (I highly recommend this program!). She immediately created a safe space with the strongest boundaries I have ever experienced in any kind of program, spiritual or otherwise. I had found what I was looking for: A healthy, grounded spiritual mentor. Since working with Mimi I have been able to grow as a witch (transitioning to crone), to learn shamanic practices, and to create new ways to care for my self and to tend to my ancestors. Through her Evoking [Your Business + Project Series] and her Writing with Spirit Retreat, I was able to complete a memoir and get it off to an editor. I am currently in the Prayers + Devotion in Animism which has me realizing how much more depth my prayers can take and how much more I can listen to the beings I am in relationship with. I've taken her live-stream e-courses, her on demand e-courses, I use her aura care, I am one of her biggest fans and I adore her. Take it from a long time practicing witch, Mimi is the real deal, and no matter where you are in your spiritual practice, she has the ability to create the best spaces, where you feel safe to grow and become who you are meant to be...powerful and confident."

“As an Asian American educator, author, and activist, I can safely say that there is no one like Mimi out there. She is knowledgeable, intentional, and a wonderful teacher. In a time when our world feels more polarized and stressful by the day, many of us search for healing and ways to stay connected to our inner selves. Mimi offers both.”
Liz Kleinrock
"MIMI IS THE SHIT FOR REAL. THIS WAS AMAZING AND SHE IS AN INCREDIBLE TEACHER. GO LEARN WITH HER, I WILL SEE YOU IN CLASS!"
Joan Trinh Pham
“Mimi is a true teacher in that she is not here to just repeat her own knowledge; she does the more difficult work of guiding her students to make discoveries for themselves. [She offers] an incredibly comprehensive and flexible course that can help you rediscover magical living in a way that is nourishing, grounded, and responsible.”

"OMG the spell from the [On-Demand e-course, BEING AN INTUITIVE IN THE WORKPLACE] works!! I cannot believe it, this is quite magical. I am floored by the results, thank you. I was about to leave this job and all I needed is a good spell turns out."

"I have been really resisting my project though it has been something I've been thinking about for over a year. I am passionate about the idea, but I just didn't think I had space in my life to invest the time or energy, nor was I sure that I was the right person to make it happen. I joined the Evoking Your Business Series because I thought I could generally use the practices in my existing workspace versus focus my energy on a specific project. When we got started it became immediately clear that this project was meant to be the focus for me. Honestly, this made me a little angry, and I continued to distance myself whenever I thought or talked about it. That all changed after our spell work last week. I had booked a day off on my calendar for my birthday. At the last minute plans for the day were canceled and I was feeling totally energized, so I decided to put a bit of work into my project. While researching I realized that there was a volunteer opportunity planned for the same day, and there was a chance some of the people I needed to connect with would be there. So I showed up and was able to connect with the two exact people I needed to move my project forward. Since then I have been absolutely bubbling with energy, not only am I making tonnes of progress on the project, but my regular day-to-day work, hobby projects, and all the other opportunity conversations I've been having are completely aligned and are inflow."
