A self-study mystery school that invites you to restore your connection to the Unseen, actively receive the support of your spirit allies, break negative patterns, and celebrate your path with confidence. Open to practitioners and serious seekers, learn mysticism, animism + core shamanism, psychic skills, and magick through the guiding values of integrity, equity, depth, and efficacy.

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:

FLEXIBILITY + ACCESSIBILITY:
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.


TAILORED ELECTIVES:
Free access to select topics from the canon of On Demand E-Courses. 

SUPPORTIVE PRACTICES:
An integration of group readings, Wu occultic tools, core shamanic journeying, spell prompts, plant spirit healing recipes, altar and dream work, recommended reading list, auric rituals, and more.

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. "

"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 :)"

“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.”

“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. “

"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."

“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
