Partnering with Compassionate Spirits:
Activating Your Medicine Council
a message from julie
Dear friends,
In this time of tremendous upheaval, confusion, and turmoil, I feel it is even more crucial to bring the practice of shamanic journeying to everyone seeking the wisdom of their helping spirits. The spirits offer us a return to clarity, encouraging us to make meaningful contributions to the world around us by saying yes to our soul’s purpose. May this online course be a welcome alternative to my in-person workshops for anyone who prefers self-paced learning, or for whom travel simply isn’t an option. I look forward to connecting with you in Circle.
With love,
Julie
What you will learn
During this experiential course, you will embark upon a series of journeys that will enable you to:
Explore the invisible dimensions of reality that coexist with our physical world, where you can connect with your helping spirits
Open the subtle pathways of perception that can enable you to sense, see, hear, touch, smell, taste, and feel while journeying throughout the invisible realms
Use those subtle pathways of perception to cultivate a shared language with your helping spirits that can generate mutual understanding and clarity
Refine the inquiries you present to your helping spirits so you can optimize the guidance you receive
Journey to receive accurate guidance and potent spiritual healing for yourself and on behalf of others
Practice the art of telling a healing story, relaying guidance to others when you journey on their behalf with their consent and permission
Meet the benevolent helping spirits who co-exist alongside you in the place where you live and the opportunity to learn how to create harmony together
Learn how to navigate purposefully and effectively in the invisible spectrums of reality
Activate your medicine council
By the end of this course you will meet your Medicine Council and undergo a personalized ritual to ignite your medicine in the service of your soul’s purpose.
It is believed that each of us has a cohort of specific spirit guides who are dedicated to helping us uncover, amplify, and hone the unique medicine that we carry. This is your Medicine Council. Your singular, inimitable medicine includes your innate gifts, qualities, and capacities, all of which you are meant to share with the world in order to fulfill your soul’s purpose.
By the end of this course you will have met the members of your Medicine Council and your council will be well established. Your learning will culminate with a personalized ritual prescribed by your Medicine Council—and undertaken in collaboration with them—to ignite your medicine in the service of your soul’s purpose.

How you will learn
Join us in Circle, our online learning platform, where you will access the course material and resources:
Julie guides you through every step of your journey. As she weaves background knowledge with historical context, you gain an appreciation for how this spiritual work has unfolded ages and how you are connected to it. Julie’s personal stories and clear instructions prepare you for what you may experience and enable you to grow more confident with each interaction. The framework Julie provides becomes your repeatable template while you journey into the unseen realms and connect with your helping spirits. Each module in the course includes at least one video.
This course consists of 14 modules, divided into 50+ short written lessons that complement the videos and help you deepen your understanding.Â
To help you journey with purpose, Julie provides you with inquiries and teaches you how to shape your own inquiries. Knowing how to frame your questions is an important step in learning how to interact with your helping spirits, to benefit from their wisdom.
Each module culminates with integrations and reflections—journal prompts that help you make sense of your experiences and become aware of any questions you hold.
Join Julie for regular gatherings via Zoom. This is the ideal moment to ask questions and receive live feedback, or simply listen to the questions of others. The added benefit of these sessions is the sense of connection you gain with other participants by learning you are not alone with the questions you have.
Connect with other participants in Circle by sharing experiences in the General Dialogue space, through the questions you ask online, and perhaps even by meeting study buddies. You can engage as little or as much as you’d like—the opportunities for sharing are optional.
The Perks of Online Learning
Total Flexibility
The asynchronous format of this course means you can work through the material at your own pace, when and where you please. There are no group activities and you can complete every lesson independently. If you’d like to repeat lessons, you can. If you’d like to rewatch videos, or pause them to ponder, you can.
Fresh Content
Our spaces in Circle are ever evolving! Inspired by the questions you ask and feedback you offer, we continue to update our content as we learn what additional resources will benefit you. Participant-driven content also adds to your learning experience. As this online community grows and engages with the spaces in Circle, shared experiences and recommendations may help you develop an even richer practice.
Lifetime Access
Julie’s intention is to provide you with a foundation that is strong and sustainable. By the end of this course you’ll have a journeying template that is repeatable and will allow you to continue to learn and grow through interactions with your helping spirits. Julie’s wisdom will not expire, nor will your access to this course.
everyone has helping spirits
For millennia, people worldwide have used singing, dancing, drumming, whistling, and rattling to generate natural trance states in order to journey into the invisible realms and form alliances with benevolent helping spirits.
Whether we’re aware of them or not, we all have compassionate helping spirits who are devoted to our wellbeing, potentiation, and evolution.
The practice of journeying enables us to initiate direct contact with these luminous beings so we can receive their immediate support whenever we’re in need of wise council, helpful insights, and powerful spiritual healing.

Everyone is welcome! Absolutely no prior experience is necessary. Everyone has helping spirits, and this workshop teaches you how to begin forming relationships with your own helping spirits.
Yes, completing this online course is one way to meet the prerequisite for “Becoming a Spiritual Healing Practitioner Level I: The Essentials,” as well as Julie’s stand-alone advanced retreats and trainings. The alternative is to join Julie during a three-day in-person “Partnering with Compassionate Spirits” workshop.
No special tools or preparation are required. Participants are encouraged to have an open mind, a journal for notes, and any personal items that help them feel grounded, such as a small sacred object or a comfortable cushion for sitting.
Julie models professionalism, connection to nature, dedication to human empowerment, and devotion to beauty and truth. My life, the lives of my clients, and hopefully the lives of the beings that share our planet with us are all improved by the practices that Julie skillfully presents to someone as new to all this as I am. Even better, she doesn't tell you how to do it; she sets a template for you to find your own path. I have learned, under Julie's thoughtful tutelage, that not only is there a place for shamanic practices in everyday life, but that useful practical things benefit immensely from the wisdom of our natural world.
