FEATURED E-COURSES
Originally offered as a live-stream and in-person in Vancouver, this recorded Magick of Tea holds space for psychic insights and unstucking through collaging.
Through an online tea ceremony led by animist spirit medium, Mimi Young, combined with collage making as art therapy, we make way to receive guidance from our spirit guides. What we create becomes a form of therapy artwork and oracle card making, where psychic training can take place.
Collage making is a therapeutic art method to remind ourselves of our ability to show up in our lives in refreshing ways, in ways that we want to. The process itself can mimic a shock or severance, then a processing and accepting that paves way to meditation, healing ritual, and a place to reconstruct. Coupled with Tea, we will be approaching the concept of collaging through all 6 senses.
Collaging is about working with what we have, playing and creating something different, something that fits, and in the safety of holding both reality and the imaginal. Working in the context of Tea animism and spirit communication, we can work in collaboration, with the Seen and Unseen, and develop a ritualization of noticing what our actual experience is at the present moment. By being here in the present, we learn to attend to ourselves, trust ourselves and enjoy ourselves, moving from fear and into our values and desires.
Sitting with the combined ceremony of Tea and healing collage making, timed with the approaching Summer Solstice, makes the hidden visible. No art making experience is necessary. This session will be playful, in flow, and one that leans into the delights of the summer! It will also be the last Magick of Tea until the fall.
What to expect from the recording:
Content in how to relate with Tea in an animist perspective, and how to listen to the Tea spirit and other plant spirits.
~2 hours of space holding so you can step into ease, fun, and for your nervous system to rest. Be open to spiritual healing. No experience in healing art or collage work is necessary!
The invitation to divinate or foretell from the collage(s) you create, much like interpreting an oracle card.

A Container of Decay and Transformation Through Writing
A 6-PART SELF-PACED WRITING SERIES
Meet Your Emotions,
Exorcise Your Pain,
Share Your Voice,
& Make Yourself As Your Art
UGLY WORDS is a container of decay and the liminal that explores the shadowy aspects of Yin, encouraging us to engage with writing as ritual, fostering personal transformation and creative expression by embracing themes of ugliness, endings, emotional wound tending, and grief. Relating with the animated word, these allies take us places that are unfamiliar or do not yet exist, and can also return us to sites that need reconciling or tending. Words spoken aloud or silently written allows us to surrender, decompose, and re-create our identity that ultimately fertilizes our heart-minds, our art, our finances, our career, our intimate relationships, and the greater world.
With embodied writing practices and a focus on embracing imperfection, we're witnessed and resourced to navigate life’s challenges, heal, and reconnect with the Seen and Unseen realms. Sitting with these these prepares and resources us for re-emergence.

When is the year of the Horse? The Year of the Horse, part of the Lunar New Year, spans from February 17, 2026 to February 6, 2027. Across many east Asian cultures (and their diasporic peoples), the festivities center around honouring ancestors, deities and seeking blessings for prosperity, health, luck, and protection. Prior to the New Year, homes are thoroughly cleaned to sweep away stagnancy and create space for good fortune.
2026 is a Fire Horse year, a double Fire year. In Chinese astrology (also called Bazi), Fire amplifies speed, visibility, consequence, and decisive movement. If the previous year of the Snake governs thresholds, Horse governs the passage itself. This is not a year of preservation; it is a year of acceleration.
This 2-hour recording of the Fire Horse Horoscope predictions includes:
Horse Year Predictions and Forecasts on a macro level that effects the economy, politics, social mood, and more.
Core predictions shaping 2026, including (but not limited to):
Acceleration + Heat

A guided art medium and intuitive automatic writing practice to tune into how you can relate with the double Fire year animistically.

When is the year of the snake?
The Year of the Snake, part of the Lunar New Year, spans from January 29, 2025 to February 16, 2026. Across many cultures, the festivities center around honouring deities and seeking blessings for prosperity, health, and protection. Homes are thoroughly cleaned to sweep away misfortune and create space for good luck.
People also pay respect to both birth families and chosen families, while ancestral tributes are offered to honour lineage. A unique aspect of the celebration is the generosity extended to even stray animals, symbolizing a deep sense of gratitude and interconnectedness with all beings. These practices reflect a profound focus on community care, ensuring that not only human but more-than-human entities are included in the blessings of the season.
This blend of honouring the sacred, fostering human bonds, and expanding what is life-giving are themes in the 2-hour recording, focusing on thematic forecasts collectively and individual predictions based on Chinese astrological signs, as well as three occult practices, including instructions of how to do a binding spell.
Here’s a glimpse of the highlights for the recording of 2025’s Lunar New Year online event:
The Visions, Aesthetics and Symbolism of the Wood Snake
The Year of the Wood Snake (2025) is aligned with Yin Wood, a powerful energy fostering creativity, growth, renewal, and even the presence of venom. This session will guide you through the deep symbolism of the Snake archetype, drawing from Chinese Astrology and Daoism. We will explore how to embrace creative potential during stillness and use the Snake’s strategic resilience to navigate change.
The Perpetual Cycle: Birth, Growth, Death, and Renewal
As Yin Wood influences, we’ll reflect on its dual nature, balancing flexibility and strength, and connecting the Serpent’s energy with its predecessor, the Wood Dragon. This cycle of transformation invites introspection, renewal, and the cultivation of patience, where change becomes a continuous rhythm.
The Serpent’s Creativity
Explore practical activities to ground creativity, including art mediumship with automatic writing (also known as spiritualist auto writing). This segment will support participants in tapping into the deeper well of psychic skill development that the Snake year nurtures, fostering a rich and balanced creative practice.
Venom and Poisons: Boundaries, Invitations, and Power
The Snake zodiac sign encourages self-reflection and strategic action. We’ll dive into understanding how to take calculated risks without overwhelming yourself, the power of setting clear boundaries and alter egos, and how the right energy dosage can produce results—or backfire. Participants will learn how to wisely navigate their goals to align with the year’s transformative energy.
Mini Readings based on Chinese astrological lunar and rising animal signs.As a special offering, Mimi Young, animist intermediary, will provide readings. These readings will be a personalized touch to help participants navigate the energies of the Wood Snake and set the tone for the year ahead.

Originally offered as a live-stream to usher in the Fire Season, also known as the early Summer, according to ancient Chinese traditions, the wisdoms and rituals shared in this recorded e-course can be observed at any point of the year. It’s especially encouraged to work the Yang and Fire principles when one is going through periods of soul searching, discovering and renewing their values, and navigating fiery emotions such as anger, rage, and hatred.
This course continues our year-round exploration of the Wu Xing (Five Elements and also known as the Chinese elements) according to Daoist principles. Listeners are invited to engage in Daoist based wisdoms and rituals that challenge distortions and misunderstandings of Yin and Yang principles.
Mimi Young, animist spirit medium shares how to approach and relate with the Fire Element as an ally and without the distortions of even some New Age circles may regard the Yang aspect. Rather, engage with the necessary part of life, the Yang, through the foundations of Daoist thought, the I Ching, and what it means to be of service to the Yin that balances both our inner cravings and reality.
How participants of this course have benefited and grown from the practices and insights:
A reintroduction and renewal of understanding the Yang principle, its themes and functions, in a very real and direct way.
The qualities of Fire discussed and directly engaged with animistically, and how the Fire element is interconnected with the other elements of the Five Phases (Wu Xing), including the generative and degenerative phases.

How to work with anger, rage, frustration, hatred, and bitterness more constructively.
Understand your body’s relationship with the Fire and Yang aspects.

Originally offered as a live-stream to usher in the Wood Season, also known as the Spring, according to ancient Chinese traditions, the wisdoms and rituals shared in this pre-recorded e-course can be practiced and observed at any point of the year, especially when one is working with the Wood Element as an ally, or if one is navigating a Wood phase in their life.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens on Spring Equinox, and how to honour the Spring Equinox, it’s a time where the cycles renew, and an occasion to celebrate the Wood Element’s return. The Wood Element is long found in the mythological, cosmological, and magical traditions that is found in Taoism (also spelled as Daoism). Wood is the phase that corresponds with the Spring season, the direction of the East, the planet Jupiter, and the Liver organ since Wood speaks about re-emergence, mobility, and new perspectives. Mimi Young, animist spirit medium shares how to approach and relate with the Wood Element as an ally and without the distortions of a hyper-productive society, through these key Wood wisdoms that is foundational to Chinese astrology and the I Ching.
Rooting to Rise – Wood’s archetype is the Sacred Fool. Wood invites us to step into literal and metaphorical wilderness, to step into new ground, embrace the unfamiliar, and play with experimentation and adventure, all while remaining rooted in our ancestral connections, and devoted in our spiritual practices.
Body Awe – Wood invites us to honour our emotions through movement rather than reflection alone, embracing the potencies and pace of our muscles, our bones, and our skin.
Following the Tao – Wood invites us to not rely on anxiety, stress, or anger alone to get work done, but instead, to follow the winds of the Cosmic Life Force, the Tao. In addition to this, by relating with the Liver in ways the organ truly desires, we can honour our voice, limitations, and frustrations in a way that can prompt creativity and heart-felt inner drives.
Through sympathetic magic, listeners can learn and follow along how to cast animist spells and ritualized practices that conjure and reflect the energies of Wood.
Participants have noted how the course has helped them:

The Metal Element is long found in the mythological, cosmological, and magickal landscape. In Chinese esoteric traditions, Metal is the phase that corresponds with the Autumn season, and corresponds to the direction of the West and Venus, since Metal speaks about values and what one cherishes most. In this e-course, Mimi Young, animist spirit medium shares how to approach and relate with the Metal Element as an ally, through these key Metal wisdoms:
Shapeshifting - Metal is forged through heat and pressure, and seeing challenges as transformative opportunities instead of obstacles
Precision - Metal as represented as a Sword, an esoteric symbol of clarity and inner truth

Tea and Tea rituals are meaningful practices found around the world. In Chinese cultures, Tea and the customs and ceremonies surrounding Tea go back before Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism, to Chinese shamanism, otherwise known as Wuism.

Originally offered as a live-stream and in-person in Vancouver, this recorded Magick of Tea holds space for psychic insights and practical magic through designing incantations.
Through an online tea ceremony led by animist spirit medium, Mimi Young, combined with learning witchcraft (word-based, with an emphasis on incantations), we make way to receive guidance from our spirit guides, and where psychic training can take place.
Conjure desired energies through the combined practice of incantations and tea ceremony
Incantations are a series of intentionally strung words that are said aloud, chanted, or sung, as a magick spell. Incantations wield power, capable of altering consciousness, shifting perceptions, fostering change, and invoking spirits (including ancestors and other spirit guides).
Tapping into the core energetics and the voice of Tea as a plant teacher, we will be guided by some newly landed spring harvested teas, to connect with our deepest selves, channel creative words, and conjure desired energies through the practice of incantations in a safe and intimate group setting.
What to expect:
Practical theory on word-based magick, and how incantations work
Opportunity to craft your own word-based spell and incantation
The space to engage in spellwork
Be held by Tea and their spirits, both physically and energetically

Originally offered as a live-stream and in-person in Vancouver, this recorded Magick of Tea holds space for psychic insights and unstucking through collaging.
Through an online tea ceremony led by animist spirit medium, Mimi Young, combined with collage making as art therapy, we make way to receive guidance from our spirit guides. What we create becomes a form of therapy artwork and oracle card making, where psychic training can take place.
Collage making is a therapeutic art method to remind ourselves of our ability to show up in our lives in refreshing ways, in ways that we want to. The process itself can mimic a shock or severance, then a processing and accepting that paves way to meditation, healing ritual, and a place to reconstruct. Coupled with Tea, we will be approaching the concept of collaging through all 6 senses.
Collaging is about working with what we have, playing and creating something different, something that fits, and in the safety of holding both reality and the imaginal. Working in the context of Tea animism and spirit communication, we can work in collaboration, with the Seen and Unseen, and develop a ritualization of noticing what our actual experience is at the present moment. By being here in the present, we learn to attend to ourselves, trust ourselves and enjoy ourselves, moving from fear and into our values and desires.
Sitting with the combined ceremony of Tea and healing collage making, timed with the approaching Summer Solstice, makes the hidden visible. No art making experience is necessary. This session will be playful, in flow, and one that leans into the delights of the summer! It will also be the last Magick of Tea until the fall.
What to expect from the recording:
Content in how to relate with Tea in an animist perspective, and how to listen to the Tea spirit and other plant spirits.
~2 hours of space holding so you can step into ease, fun, and for your nervous system to rest. Be open to spiritual healing. No experience in healing art or collage work is necessary!
The invitation to divinate or foretell from the collage(s) you create, much like interpreting an oracle card.
Your chance to hear what Mimi shares as mini readings with past ticket holders, and how these may even relate to you!

In the beginning, tea was used in ritual offerings, eaten as a vegetable, and consumed as medicine. Moving through the Chinese dynasties, tea evolved from physiological and spirit medicine, expanded into an art form, and became a drink celebrated by all social classes. From a shamanic perspective, tea displays a rich connection to Earth, her elements, meditation and divination, and is connected to shape shifting. Being the plant medicine of choice by many eastern monastic devotees and mystics, tea has had a significant role in bridging spirit and material, sleep and waking life, and more.
This Spirit Study On-Demand pre-recorded course discusses how tea has and can play a role in shamanic and esoteric practices. What to expect from SHAMANISM + TEA:
Understand how tea is the oldest shamanic plant medicine via myth and legend

A Container of Decay and Transformation Through Writing
A 6-PART SELF-PACED WRITING SERIES
Meet Your Emotions,
Exorcise Your Pain,
Share Your Voice,
& Make Yourself As Your Art
UGLY WORDS is a container of decay and the liminal that explores the shadowy aspects of Yin, encouraging us to engage with writing as ritual, fostering personal transformation and creative expression by embracing themes of ugliness, endings, emotional wound tending, and grief. Relating with the animated word, these allies take us places that are unfamiliar or do not yet exist, and can also return us to sites that need reconciling or tending. Words spoken aloud or silently written allows us to surrender, decompose, and re-create our identity that ultimately fertilizes our heart-minds, our art, our finances, our career, our intimate relationships, and the greater world.
With embodied writing practices and a focus on embracing imperfection, we're witnessed and resourced to navigate life’s challenges, heal, and reconnect with the Seen and Unseen realms. Sitting with these these prepares and resources us for re-emergence.
DURATION
This 6-part creative writing course is 2 hours each, totalling 12 hours in space holding, insights, and writing prompts.

Learn how spirit guides communicate through machines and digital devices and AS machine and digital spirits.
The energy and currents of human-made tools, technology, and electronics have consciousness, can communicate psychically, and hold space. One of the most practical ways to learn to be psychic, we can approach tech spirits from a perspective of allyship in this esoteric studies online.
In the animist’s tradition, all things are energy and have some form of consciousness. It is the animist that relates with a cup as more than a cup, or a chair as more than a chair. In the age of information and hyper-connectivity, the animist can also relate with machines and digital spirits, and as magick practitioners, it’s in our nature to look at what is hidden beneath the vast powers of computers and other mechanical and artificial intelligences, to access the Unseen beyond Nature and conventional spirits and relate with the very real spirits of the machine and digital world. Magick is in the now, no matter where and what ‘the now’ is.
By doing this, humans are able to approach what we create, what we generate, and what we consume with a sense of calm wisdom and collaborative responsibility. By making allies with machine and digital spirits, we can learn how to live intuitively and magickally in our current modern reality without the need to label only the natural world as ‘spiritual’. The return-to-self is not only on plant medicine retreats in the woods; the return to self can happen right here on your smart phone. The consciousness of technology invites us to step into a refreshed sense of awareness, intuition, self-commitment and empowerment. Modernity can also be spiritual.
Join Mimi Young, spirit communicator and founder of CEREMONIE, and trusted expert in animist witchcraft and rituals by goop, for a pre-recorded 2-hour e-course that includes in-depth and hands-on learning so you can begin or sharpen your existing spirit and magickal practice with machine and digital spirits.

Machine roles / duties and how they are similar and different from nature-based spirits

Personal energetic and psychic capacity
Aura scanning, tending, and restoring
How to scan and monitor your energy levels from a place of self-connection and compassion

This is a 2-part recorded series for self-study. For those of us (for all of us!) who carry heavy loads, who hold space for others, who do lots of ‘doing’, who are drawn to intensity or speed, intentional pause and rest are especially required medicine. And yet, as simple or obvious as the former statement sounds, there exists a denial around rest, a delay of rest, or even a dread to rest. If you have been trying to out-balance balance, outrun exhaustion, over-manage anxiety, out-perform perfectionism, push through pain, and if you’re feeling bone-tired and in need of tenderness and rest, the only way is to pause and receive. Rest, at its core, is a spiritual expression of trust and safety.
What to expect:
Reflections and guidance rooted in animism and esotericism
Guidance and opportunities for live-stream core shamanic journeying practices
Opportunities to explore sensation and the somatic body shamanically
Space and safety to let go, soften, soothe, and self-regulate
Space to forge and deepen connections with the Unseen
Space to receive with trust
Opportunities to deeply listen
Space to attune to the Yin Force
Space to plant seeds for restoration and new life
This 2-part series is designed to be a stand-alone, or as a companion to MANAGING YOUR ENERGY + PSYCHIC BODIES.
NOTE: The audio recording contains the full lengths of both parts, but not the video (the price is hence adjusted from the original pricing of $120 USD).

Do you dream of your wearing pajamas to work? Or wonder what dreaming of dead people means? Learn elements of practice and spirit wisdom around dream work so you can begin the craft of interpreting your dreams.
Since the beginning of human history, dreams and their meanings have captivated people. From the ancient Chinese, ancient Egyptians and ancient Greeks, to more modern thinkers such as Freud and Jung, the topic of dreams have intrigued our imagination and aroused the desire to understand Mystery.
In spirit work, dreams are seen as a land of boundlessness, where the Unseen, nonsensical, and magickal become easily accessed. The work then exists for the dreamer to remember, understand, and bridge the wisdom from that mystery land to waking life.

Clairolfactance (clairolfaction) or psychic smelling is an intuitive, extra-sensory gift that isn’t as commonly discussed, yet, it is a powerful ability belonging to so many of us, including intuitives, seers, witches, and mystics, but also those who simply are more tuned-in to a deeper reality.

Learn to invite, interpret, & befriend household spirits as an animist's practice of honouring land, space, and ancient wisdom traditions.
Every home contains not only humans, but also spirits. These spirits may be visiting ancestors, but most likely, spirit beings of the home itself that are connected with the material of the building, the furniture, charms, prayers, activities and other practices held within the home, and their existence is alongside ours. Domestic spirits are friendly and helpful, though from time to time, can also be mischievous. We can learn to invite, welcome, decipher/interpret, and befriend these beings as an animist's practice of honouring land, space, and ancient wisdom traditions. We can also take intentional steps to do these as a way to centre Nature's ways and non-human intelligence, and as a result, experience deep healing, a reigniting of joy and imagination, and a restoration of truly collaborative living.

What is a shamanic journey?
Shamanism is the oldest spiritual practice— anthropologists have found cross cultural evidence of the first shamans from over 40,000 years ago. The shamanic journey is the art of using drum and rattle rhythms with intention to enter into altered brain states to access the spiritual dimension of life. There, one can discover who are our spirit guides, communicate with spirit guides, such as spirit animals, plant allies, ancestors, and even pets who have passed on.
Want to learn who is your spirit guide, how to talk to spirit guides, and gain an introduction to the shamanic path?

Learning from our other ancestors
The Earth offers many forms of nourishment, wisdom, and healing. Some are meant to be loud, offer contrast from our reality, or immense emotional warmth; these are often medicines to be consumed under the guidance of an elder or other seasoned wisdom keeper. Other plants offer much softer, nuanced, and subtle energies which also are highly medicinal. The latter can be consumed regularly and even many times a day. These plants are often more common, and nature intended them to be common so that we can access them more easily. This is the paradox - what's often most instructive to our consciousness is not necessarily ‘exotic’, but is under our noses (pun intended) or in our backyards.
Join Mimi Young, shamanic intuitive and plant spirit educator of Ceremonie, for a 4-hour intensive pre-recorded course that includes in-depth and hands-on learning from non-entheogenic (non-psychedelic) plants and their spirits that are still immensely powerful in our daily and esoteric practises.

STEP INTO EMBODIMENT AND IN HONEST, EMPOWERED RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD
You've heard of the adage, 'you are what you eat'. This is also true energetically - the relationship we have with food reveals the themes of our lives, the vacancies, the values, the deepest hopes and deepest hurts. For most of us, our food dynamic is formed before we reach adulthood, and while we often can evolve in a multitude of aspects in our lives, with our ties to what we eat and how we eat remain unchanged and can be kept locked up like skeletons in a closet. This is because food often holds enormous significance via cellular memory, your ancestry, and your soul's past lives.
Mimi Young, shamanic practitioner, invites you to step into embodiment and in honest, empowered relationship with food. Via archetypal exploration of food and powerful shamanic journeying, uncover the shadows of your food relationship that continue to keep you unconscious or disempowered.
Skills covered in this pre-recorded course:
The energetic correspondences of types of food and consumption and how they relate to the issues of the heart
The archetypal beliefs and patterns that relate to survival, self-soothing, nourishment, healing of foods
Discover how food is a powerful agent of connection to your ancestors
With guidance, shamanically journey into your body to uncover the root(s) of your relationship with food
With guidance, journey to past lives and/or ancestral traumas that may have formed unconscious/disempowered food relationships
With guidance, detangle and restore the kind of relationship you'd like to have with food using shamanic witchcraft
Discover non-entheogenic plant medicines that support you during this exploratory and healing time

This is how love is,
An uncontrollable beast
In the form of a flower.
― Suzy Kassem
Perfumes were not always considered cosmetics. In the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Persia, China, and Rome— cultures that revered plants and their spirit communication properties — perfumes were used to anoint the body and used in ceremony. Perfumes were used as spiritual and physical adornment to make requests to the goddesses and gods, as well as viewed as protective armour. If you have the anointing of the Divine, then you are blessed. Overtime, perfumes became associated with beauty and individuality.
From a scientific perspective, the olfactory nerve enables our sense of smell. The olfactory nerve was the first cranial nerve to develop in an evolutionary sense, and is the only cranial nerve that directly transmits to the brain, without relaying it through another part of the central nervous system first. Our sense of smell is instrumental to individual memory, but also memory as a species (societal memory). This gives great insight on how plants can be healing for the collective. Scent is also deeply linked to pheromones and creativity.
Our response to smells is primal, intuitive, emotional, psychological, and physical. Smells function as a way for babies to recognize their mothers, for sexual partners to increase their arousal, for us to connect with the Cosmos. Scents warn, comfort, seduce, purify, recall, give one confidence. They can also rouse the attention of the Divine and affect the manifested world.

"The past is never ended; it isn't even past."
— William Falkner
The past is not always in the past. Many who have journeyed understand that linear time doesn’t really exist, and that everything is happening in the now. This means that the individuals you were in other lifetimes may be active in your own self right now, played out in your daily interactions. If you have experienced certain themes, patterns and situations that continue to replay no matter what you do, this is an example of an unresolved past life that is living in you. These wounds can sabotage you in the present-day, prevent authentic intimacy, create strong aversions/triggers, or other forms of unfinished business.
Oftentimes, these wounds are rooted from soul loss. Soul loss is energetic disassociation that occurred when a soul has experienced great pain, shock, or other forms of trauma. When a past-life has found closure and healed, your soul in your present life has no need to continue to re-experience the same themes. Instead, there is peace and a sense of vitality. Soul Retrieval is a healing shamanic term that refers to the reintegration and embodiment of lost soul parts back into a person.
When a past-life has found closure and healed, your soul in your present life has no need to continue to re-experience the same themes. Instead, there is peace and a sense of vitality. Using shamanic journeying as an agent to explore, discover, and understand our soul's journey in past lives can be immensely therapeutic for us in the now and defining for our future in our current lives. We can reintegrate lost, disassociated, and repressed parts of ourselves back for greater wholeness.

Is it possible that the Devil is the portal to personal power, freedom, pleasure, and renewal?
Do you crave to be unconditionally understood? To know yourself? To experience full self-acceptance? To delight in pleasure completely? To stand in power? To relish in personal freedom? Would you believe that the way to this is not with "light and love", but with "darkness"?
In myth, the Devil is described as the Tempter, luring you to do the forbidden. He is also called the Liar, the one who accuses you with hurtful words. As a society, we are told to fear, avoid, and reject the Devil, or to deny that he doesn't exist. But what if the Devil does exist, and that his existence is actually an aspect of the Great Goddess, and is designed to offer healing and empowering medicine? What if we were to befriend the Devil, receive his wisdom, and become fuller, freer, and empowered as a result.
What to expect in this 3 hour On-Demand course:
Learning from the Devil, we will discover that his poisons reveal and invites the very medicine that is needed for our wholeness:
Walking in Darkness
how our fear of Darkness have prevented us to strive for what we deeply desire, how we have sabotaged ourselves, and what we continue to cover up.
how the "7 deadly sins" are not poisons and in fact are medicine
discover with clarity what the Devil is bringing you as medicine specifically
Nightmare Medicine
Nightmares reflect inner conflict, revealing the physical and inner mental / emotional struggles of our unconscious. They may be warnings of what may happen in the outerworld, but most often than not, they are warnings of our internal landscape, asking for the repressed frustration, rage, fear, shame, or other emotions that fuel the shadow to be seen and given space for in our waking life.
Some other times, recurrent Nightmares can be trauma spirits, energies that were formed when you have experienced something shocking, deeply upsetting, or violating. These trauma spirits are asking to be released via the permission to soothe and permission to experience joy/pleasure.
Via guided shamanic journeying, safely return to a Nightmare scene to rid trauma spirits and other negative energies

When is the year of the Horse? The Year of the Horse, part of the Lunar New Year, spans from February 17, 2026 to February 6, 2027. Across many east Asian cultures (and their diasporic peoples), the festivities center around honouring ancestors, deities and seeking blessings for prosperity, health, luck, and protection. Prior to the New Year, homes are thoroughly cleaned to sweep away stagnancy and create space for good fortune.
2026 is a Fire Horse year, a double Fire year. In Chinese astrology (also called Bazi), Fire amplifies speed, visibility, consequence, and decisive movement. If the previous year of the Snake governs thresholds, Horse governs the passage itself. This is not a year of preservation; it is a year of acceleration.
This 2-hour recording of the Fire Horse Horoscope predictions includes:
Horse Year Predictions and Forecasts on a macro level that effects the economy, politics, social mood, and more.
Core predictions shaping 2026, including (but not limited to):
Acceleration + Heat
Volatility and Visibility cycles
Expansion and Containment strategy
Feng Shui & Directionality insights
A guided art medium and intuitive automatic writing practice to tune into how you can relate with the double Fire year animistically.
Zodiac-specific forecasts based on Chinese lunar and rising animal signs, including yearly (macro) and hourly (tactical) stems
Live Q&A responses from attendees, covering practical and spiritual applications of the Fire Horse year

pen
markers or crayons
paper for drawing on
paper for taking notes
candle
cleansing plant such as dried rosemary, mugwort, or CEREMONIE’S SACRED PLANTS CLEANSING MIST (optional)
