Two-Part Workshop Series on Cortes Island

Partnering with Compassionate Spirits: Activating Your Medicine Council

Overview

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 contact with our spirit guides in order to receive their immediate support whenever we’re in need of wise council, helpful insights, and powerful healing.

What's Included

During this experiential three-day immersion, we 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 connect with your helping spirits
Open the subtle pathways of perception that 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 generates mutual understanding and clarity
Refine the inquiries you present to your helping spirits in order to optimize the guidance you receive
Journey to receive accurate guidance and potent 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
Meet the benevolent helping spirits who co-exist alongside you in the place where you live and learn how to create harmony together
Learn how to navigate safely, purposefully, and effectively in the invisible spectrums of reality

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 workshop, you will have met the members of your Medicine Council and your council will be well established. Our time together 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.

Second Workshop

The Signature of the Psychopomp: Providing Spiritual Support for the Living, the Dying, and the Dead

The term “psychopomp” originates in ancient Greece and translates to “the conductor or conveyor of souls.” As in ancient times, in contemporary times, a psychopomp is a person who feels called to assist human souls in crossing over, either during their dying process or when the physical death has already occurred. To support these transitions, the psychopomp will have forged relationships with benevolent spirits, known as “psychopomp allies,” who specialize in guiding souls out of the earthly human realm.

To carry the “signature” of the psychopomp means you have a special affinity for this work. People, who may or may not be aware of carrying this signature, are often drawn to the bedside of those who are dying and may have also experienced visitations from their own loved ones who have passed away, or from strangers.

For the purpose of establishing a safe, consistent, reliable, and effective psychopomp practice, in this training you will each form partnerships with the specific psychopomp allies who are your counterparts in spirit form. With their support, you’ll learn a simple methodology for facilitating a radiant passage for those in the active dying process, and for providing compassionate assistance to those who have already passed away and have been unable to cross over successfully.

For me, Julie is a bridge. Her rigor, her precision, her dedication to ethical practice, and her constant circling back to feedback and evidence made her the ideal teacher for me. As I attended her introductory workshop, her competency and the firm planting of her feet in the ground inspired me to think, "I can do this!"

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.

I joined Julie’s introductory workshop with little understanding or knowledge about journeying. I had a robust curiosity and a healthy dose of skepticism. By the end of the weekend, under Julie’s adept tutelage, I had fallen deep into the mystery, learned to reconnect with the wisdom and support of my helping spirits, and understood that a path had been revealed that would forever change my life.
