Both the online and in-person groups work with darkness as part of the immersive nature of the training. This means we intentionally reduce external visual stimulation to support deeper rest, inner listening, altered states and subtle perception.

You do not need previous experience with darkness retreats or trance work to join this training.

IN PERSON GROUP

The in-person training takes place in a fully darkened environment.

Some practices will be guided in soft red light to create moments of semi-darkness and support specific exercises. Shared spaces during breaks, including lunch and bathroom areas, will be candlelit, with the option to spend time outside for fresh air, grounding and nervous system regulation during breaks.

The atmosphere is carefully held, grounded and supportive throughout the training days.

ONLINE GROUP

Online participants are invited to create their own dark or semi-dark environment at home to support the immersive nature of the training.

This could be:

• a darkened bedroom,
• bathroom,
• attic,
• basement,
• meditation room,
• or any other space where you can comfortably retreat inward for the session.

If creating complete darkness at home is not possible, a semi-dark environment is absolutely welcome as well. The intention is not perfection, but creating a space that supports stillness, receptivity and inner listening.

Throughout the training, you are encouraged to work at a pace and depth that feels supportive for your own nervous system and life circumstances.

Yes — absolutely.

Many women who feel drawn to this training also notice fear, resistance or nervousness around darkness and the unseen. This is completely natural.

At the same time, this training does ask for a willingness to gently lean into discomfort and unfamiliarity. The darkness itself is part of the initiatory experience and one of the teachers of the training.

You are always encouraged to work at a pace that feels supportive for your nervous system. Semi-darkness is also welcome for the online group if complete darkness feels too intense in your home environment.

Interestingly, many women discover that what initially feels uncomfortable slowly transforms into deep rest, peace and a profound sense of homecoming within themselves. 🌑

At its heart, trance mediumship is the practice of deepening your relationship with Spirit and being of service for their wisdom and love to come through.

Rather than reaching outward, we learn to soften inward. We cultivate states of deep receptivity, trust and surrender, allowing ourselves to become more aware of the loving presence of the spirit world and the support that is always available to us.

Many people describe trance as a profound sense of homecoming.

A feeling of being held by something greater.

A deep peace.

A deep love.

A remembering that you are not alone.

Within this training, we explore trance through our relationship with our spirit guides — the beings who walk alongside us throughout our lives, offering guidance, healing, wisdom and support, as well as our loved ones in spirit - Many people discover that the bond with those they love continues beyond physical death, and that love, support and guidance can still be felt across the veil between worlds.

Through meditation & trance practices we gradually learn how to quiet the thinking mind and deepen our sensitivity to the subtle presence of Spirit.

Over time, this practice often begins to affect far more than mediumship.

The qualities we cultivate in trance — trust, surrender, receptivity and connection — naturally begin to ripple into everyday life.

Many students discover a growing sense that they are being supported, guided and held by something greater than themselves.

And from that place, life becomes less about forcing and controlling, and more about listening, trusting and allowing.

Spirit Healing is a form of healing offered in collaboration with the spirit world.

Within the Spiritualist tradition, Spirit Healing has been practiced for generations and continues to be taught and explored by healers and mediums around the world.

In Spirit Healing, the practitioner acts as a bridge or conduit, allowing healing energy from the spirit world to be offered to a recipient either in person or at a distance.

Rather than trying to "do" the healing ourselves, we learn to become receptive to the healing intelligence of Spirit.

The deeper we are able to surrender, soften and step out of the way, the more fully Spirit can work with and through us.

Many practitioners describe Spirit Healing as a deeply peaceful and loving experience. Both the giver and receiver often report feeling held, nourished and supported by something greater than themselves.

Within Trance Pathways, we explore Spirit Healing not only as a healing modality, but also as a practice of trust, receptivity and surrender.

As we deepen our relationship with Spirit, we learn to move from effort into allowing.

From doing into receiving.

From personal will into collaboration with a greater intelligence.

While healing may occur on many levels — physical, emotional, mental or spiritual — we approach this work with humility and openness, trusting that Spirit offers what is most supportive for the highest good of each individual.

Over the past decade, many people have discovered the transformative power of plant medicine ceremonies.

I am deeply grateful for the master plants that have supported my own healing and spiritual journey. They have opened doors, offered profound teachings and helped me reconnect with parts of myself that were longing to be seen.

At the same time, I have fallen deeply in love with another form of plant medicine.

The trees, plants, herbs and flowers that grow right outside our door.

The ones rooted in the land we live on.

The ones that have quietly accompanied humanity for generations.

Within Trance Pathways, we work with what I call a Local Plant Diet.

Rather than traveling to another part of the world to meet a sacred plant, we begin by listening to the land beneath our own feet.

During the training, you will be guided through a land journey on your own local land to discover which tree, plant, herb or flower is calling you into relationship.

Once you have found your plant ally, you will spend a period of time in conscious relationship with this plant through a simple plant diet, ingesting the extracted juices from the tree, plant, herb or flower daily through a strong brewed tea. 

This is a practice of listening.
Of slowing down.
Of building relationship.
Of learning to receive the medicine, wisdom and teachings that a plant may wish to share with you.

Over time, many students discover that these seemingly ordinary plants are anything but ordinary.

They become teachers.

Companions.

Mirrors.

Guides.

And perhaps most importantly, they help us remember that we are not separate from nature, but part of a living web of relationship that is always speaking to us.

Mystic Medium — Trance Pathways is for women who feel called toward stillness, mystery and the unseen.

It is for women who long to slow down, step out of the constant stimulation of modern life and explore deeper states of consciousness in a grounded, embodied and carefully held way.

You may feel drawn to:

• darkness retreats and meditation
• trance, altered states and healing
• mediumship, intuition, spirit communication and psychic perception
• nervous system restoration and deep rest
• ancient mystery traditions and initiatory practices
• a more receptive, connected and intuitive way of living

No previous experience with darkness retreats, trance work or mediumship is required. What matters most is a genuine curiosity and willingness to explore the unknown.

Yes.

You do not need previous experience with darkness retreats, trance work, mediumship or altered states to join this training.

Mystic Medium — Trance Pathways is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you are completely new to these subjects or already have experience with meditation, healing, mediumship or spiritual development, you are welcome.

What matters most is not experience, but curiosity, openness and a willingness to explore.

The training is held in a grounded, gradual and carefully guided way, allowing you to build trust in yourself, your sensitivity and the experience over time.

Many women join because they feel a pull toward the mystery, the stillness and the dark long before they fully understand why.

That pull is often enough. 🌑

yes.

While the training is open to beginners, many experienced mediums, healers, facilitators and space-holders may also find themselves deeply nourished and challenged by this work.

The unique aspect of Trance Pathways is not only the study of trance, healing and altered states, but the immersive container of complete darkness itself and the work with the non psychedelic plants and nervous system regulation.

Darkness has a way of revealing new layers of stillness, receptivity, perception and trust, regardless of how many years of experience you have.

If you already have experience with trance, healing mediumship or spiritual development, this training can offer an opportunity to deepen your practice, refine your sensitivity and explore your connection with the unseen through a very different doorway.

Many experienced practitioners discover that the dark continues to teach them in unexpected ways.

After all, the true teacher of this training is not me.

It is the darkness itself. 🌑

Very possibly, yes.

While darkness immersion is one of the foundations of this training, Trance Pathways is much more than a dark retreat.

Throughout the year we explore the intersection of darkness, trance, healing, altered states, group field intelligence, subtle plant work and spirit communication.

If you have experience with dark retreats, you may find that this training offers a unique opportunity to continue your relationship with the dark within a supportive learning community and a structured year-long container.

Many people experience dark retreats as powerful personal journeys. Trance Pathways builds on that foundation by exploring what becomes possible when darkness is combined with trance practices, healing work, group intelligence and the study of consciousness.

The dark may be familiar to you.

But the dark never stops teaching.

And often, each return reveals another layer of the mystery. 🌑

Besides the monthly trainings, I recommend to reserve around 1 hour a week for practicing, transmissions and teachings. You can also practice more if you want. 

You have a lifetime access to the online school and can return to the transmissions and practices after our time together.  

For this training you need to be present at at least 80% of the calls in order to receive your certificate. This means missing maximum 2 in person days and 4 online trainings (2 for the 6 month training). 

There is a strong recommendation to be present at as much of the trainings as possible, because the trainings offer the space to really embody the teachings. 

If you cannot join a training, no worries. Online calls will be recorded and the replays will be available in the online community space the next day. 

You can also find yourself a practice buddy in the community space and practice the practices of that training together.
