The Mystery Mentorship, an online mystery school, is joyous and liberating, yet it also asks you to show up to all of yourself. You will become confident in who you are by recalling your wholeness, facing your demons, and strengthening your intuition and psychic gifts. If you’re ready to access your agency, Mimi invites you to initiate into the Unseen powers and healing wisdom of spirit communication through:

  • Core Shamanic + Animistic Practices

  • Intuition + Psychic Development

  • Chaos Magick

  • Earth-based Tarot of the Motherpeace Deck

  • Ancient Chinese Mysticism

  • Plant Spirit Healing

The Modules are available through self-study, with the option to book Private Mentorship sessions with Mimi at a preferred rate. You will re-member your depth, learn how to live in connection with the supernatural, and shapeshift into your next unique expansion through your intuitive gifts and the hidden powers of the Cosmos.

MYSTERY MENTORSHIP INCLUDES:

The Mystery Mentorship program is entirely online. In addition, the core materials and content provided during your mentorship are available to you in perpetuity. Tuition is available via payment plan. Partial Ceremonie Scholarships are also available from time to time; please email info@shopceremonie.com to inquire if it’s currently available.

EXPERT MENTORSHIP:
Taking you from foundational knowledge to your full proficiency, the occultic and magick-based wisdom is portioned into segments so you can go at your own pace (some go at a frequency of 1 lesson a week, others multiple in a sitting).

ADVANCEMENT + FLUENCY:
Recorded self-accountability sessions designed to sharpen your intuition, symbolic interpretation, divination, and conjuring skills. Whether you are seeking depth, acceleration, or mastery, you will be stretched, supported, and grow in confidence.

PRE-REQUISITE ESSENTIALS:
Free access to the online “Introduction to Core Shamanic Journeying” On Demand course, and discussion of ethics, spiritual equity and values to establish the bedrock of your learning.

INDEPENDENCE + COMMUNITY:
The Mystery Mentorship is completed individually, but in the context of a larger container of folks studying from all over the world. The learning is further enriched as we grow from each other’s practices and have an opportunity to be part of a spiritual family. Additionally, there is a Peer Practicum component in each Module that’s designed to reinforce your learning in a way that will stick, and hold you in compassionate accountability. (Note Peer Practicum exists only when the sessions are offered live and are not available via self-study).

testimonials

For an in-depth discussion about how the Mystery Mentorship has facilitated deep healing, connection with the Unseen, and transformation, have a listen to a podcast recording between two apprentices, Ellen Wong (co-founder of Daughters brand) and Shengyin Gui (founder of Haus of Five), on Woo Knew? Podcast (an engaging podcast that highlights many BIPOCs in the wellness space in a mature and cross-disciplinary way). Listen HERE.
"I started my week today, Monday, with watching the replay of yesterday's class that I wasn't able to be apart of live. I had to pause at 30 minutes into the class because, just as you said "If you can embody 8 in your life it means that you're connected to the story, that 1 gave birth to 2, that 2 gave birth to 3, and 3 gave birth to 10,000 things," tears rolled down my eyes like water released from the tension of a water dam. Even I was taken aback by this response, but it hit such a deep chord within my heart, it felt like liberation. To preface this moment, I was coincidentally reading the Tao Te Ching on Saturday morning and landed on that very passage you shared in class about 1 giving birth to 2 and so forth on Sunday. When you began the class with that passage, it was all the more affirmation to me that in the practice of inviting yin/yang and the bagua to show up in my life, they were showing me the Way. I'm only 30 minutes into Week 3's class and I had to pause it to write to you to say thank you for putting into words so eloquently, so vividly, so precisely, the memory of our shared ancestors. Thank you. I'm really enjoying this module - there's just been so many moments of alignment with the I Ching, Wu Xing and Bagua explorations. I've been exploring these topics for a few years now from an intellectual perspective. 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

“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

"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

"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 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!"

“ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO APPRENTICE WITH ME?”

— A NOTE FROM MIMI

Thank you for your interest in Ceremonie’s Mystery Mentorship program. Please be aware that if you embark upon this course of study, apprentices are not students that I will manage. When you apply to be my apprentice, what I will be assessing is your readiness to be radically honest, release your excuses, and drop the parts of you that prevent you from living in your fullest seen and unseen powers. You will be pushed, you will be stretched, you might cry, you may think you don’t have it in you — but the way into effective shamanic and occult work is through abandonment, authenticity, and moving through one’s darkness. 

Mystery Mentorship is a portal through which you can maximize your personal potential, release your ego, fall deeply in love with yourself, re-learn healthy intimacy, grow in confidence, commit to self-growth, confront your demons, and live in connection with the supernatural. This mentorship will not ask you to become the perfect person. This mentorship asks you to be you — whole and glorious, and perhaps a version of you that you don’t yet know, but is you nonetheless. 

Enter through this portal with respect, and you will be met with honour.

Enter through this portal with willingness and openness, and you will be met with open arms.

Enter through this portal with a commitment to yourself, and you will experience my commitment to you.

Tenderly and fiercely,

Mimi

About Mimi

About Mimi

Welcome!

My name is Mimi Young, and I am a Han Taiwanese Canadian residing on the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations – what is otherwise known as Vancouver, Canada.

I am also a spirit communicator, animist and occultist, and my joy is to be a container and pathway for you to re-approach and restore intimacy with yourself and with the Unseen. By doing so, you can respond to the truth of who you are today and unfolding to tomorrow.

Though I’ve been aware of my psychic gifts my whole life, I began a conscious integration of myself through a chance shamanic encounter during five months of bedrest while pregnant with my second child. I also see my diverse career background in design, education, and clean tech, as data points into an intersectional, contextual, and relational spiritual expression. 

Whether you seek to walk with the Unseen through a plant potion from my Skin + Aura collection, to study a single esoteric topic via my On-Demand Courses, or to enroll in a more in-depth magickal study through my Mystery Mentorship program or other series, my priority is to offer you grounded, practice-based expertise rooted in personal experience and ancestry. (In ancient Chinese traditions, this multi-disciplinary metaphysical practice is called 巫 – Wu or Wuism). 

I have held space and led seekers and practitioners from all over the world in my Mystery Mentorship program and retreats, as well as collaboratively with brands including goop, Almost 30, Spirit House Collective, and Tokyo Smoke. In the press and on podcasts, my work has been celebrated by Vogue, goop, Harper’s Bazaar, Refinery29, Hey Girl, So You Think You’re Intuition, Healers, Living Open AND MORE.

Folks who have worked with me describe me as welcoming, engaging, deepening, and transformative.

As I say in my unconventional WORKING WITH MIMI TERMS,

Walk with me with respect, and you will be met with honour.

Walk with me with willingness and openness, and you will be met with open heart and open arms.

Walk with me with honesty, and you will have my heart.

Yours,

Mimi
