Quintessential Revolution
SPIRITUAL APPRENTICESHIP IN CONSCIOUS LIVING
JOIN THE WAITLIST
Welcome to a revolutionary 12-month spiritual program designed with ancient earth medicine, quantum healing, and psychedelic wisdom.
The Quintessential Revolution is more than a program, it’s a deeply personal pilgrimage aligned with the seasonal cycles of Mother Earth and the ancient Celtic Medicine Spiral.
YOU WILL LEARN TO…
Release the illusions that lead to separation and aloneness
Shed cultural ideals that make life meaningless
Get to know your Ancestors and inherit your gifts
Gather your medicine, return to your Centre, and learn to live from your Quintessence - even in a complex world!
THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU IF:
You are tired of the mainstream narrative and want to create a life rooted in myth, meaning, and purpose right from your very Quintessence!
You are curious or have explored microdosing or plant spirit medicine and want to build a relationship of reverence with the Medicine
You have been longing to connect more deeply with your Ancestors and become a changemaking Descendent and break ancestral patterns
You have been exploring spirituality, ritual, shamanism, or animism and are ready to dive deeper and establish a daily practice of spiritual living
quint·essence (n.)

Why the Apprenticeaship?
THESE ARE COMPLEX TIMES OF UNPRECEDENTED COLLECTIVE CHANGE.
I’m sure you are feeling it! As much as change is the reality of life, presently we are right in the tension between the falling away of the old, and the uncertainty of the new.
And amidst it all, there are billions of messages coming at us every day about how we SHOULD be living, what we SHOULD be doing.
It’s easy to get lost in it all!
Most of all, the shoulds are kryptonite to our soul’s voice! They pull us off centre and disconnect us from our true self. And we suffer! Anxiety, self doubt, decision fatigue, adrenal burnout, and soul loss.
You are here because you KNOW the calling of your Soul and the power of your Quintessence.
What I’ve learned over the past 17 years of sharing the Apprenticeship is that it is a pilgrimage and a powerful CATALYST that initiates a process of inner revolution leading to outer evolution.
That change is SIGNIFICANTLY more effective because it has been birthed from a container that’s powered and sustained by time-tested, ancient practices utilized by humanity all over the world for thousands of years.

Since 2006:
Formerly known as the White Bone Shamanic Arts Apprenticeship (since 2006), the Quintessential Revolution is a year-long soul-affirming course correction to the pure, UNIQUE Medicine of your Soul.
Through the deeply practical and beautiful spiritual path of Animism, this unique offering is informed and nourished by the cosmovision of the Celtic Medicine Spiral, Andean energy medicine, plant spirit medicine, and somatic embodiment.
It is an opportunity for you to gift yourself a profound transformation as you shed cultural conditioning, clear ancestral patterns, experience deep healing, and take your seat as a harmonizing presence in your life, in your community, and in the healing of our planet.

Journey of the Medicine Spiral
I have learned so much about being at peace with myself and the world around me, and I am deeply fulfilled by the Animist way of living in reciprocity - especially with nature. I feel myself as a part of the magic of life around me and I feel supported by it.
—Jessie Phoenix, RTC, Vancouver Island
Key Teachings & Practices
The Medicine Hearth
Inter-Connection
Just as our ancestors were dependent on the central hearth for nourishment, warmth, community, and creative sustenance, you will gather, grow, and ceremonialize your medicine by building the sacred Medicine Hearth, sometimes known as a Bundle, Mesa, or Mála. One of the most powerful tools in our work, this central altar is the microcosm of the macrocosm and will help you co-create a new paradigm of relationship between you and the Universe.
Plant Spirit Medicine & Energy Transmissions
There is the option of 4 microdosing cycles over the course of the year to deepen your connection with the archetypal energies of the seasons. In-person retreats include plant spirit medicine ceremonies, elemental blessings, water purifications, fire ceremony, conscious breathwork, somatic embodiment. Sacred Rites (energy transmissions and activations) which have been passed down the lineages are shared to deepen your connection with the Elements
The Medicine Spiral and Animist Practice
As we travel through the seasonal energies and doorways of the Medicine Spiral we move into realignment with our embodied humanity and our place amongst the many communities that make up our home on Mother Earth. Animist Soul practices include: spirit journeying (shamanic) to navigate the unseen realms and connect with helping spirits, archetypes, and ancestors, intentional dreaming, wisdom teachings, shadow work, and energy alchemy.

Once you have attended, we will book in a Connection Call which is not a sales pitch! It’s an opportunity for us both to explore a few things:
Are we a good fit? Do our philosophies gel and align?
Are you ready for a 12-month immersion and what particular learning needs/goals do you have? I want to know these so I can best support you.
Where are you at on your journey? I want to make sure I can meet you there.
What are your financial needs? There are a limited amount of spaces with accessibility pricing for those who need it?

In an effort to be transparent, I am in a white body, cis, straight, and neurodivergent. Although I am on my unlearning, relearning journey, I have not experienced the harsh impacts of the system we live in. I am committed to providing a trauma-informed, invitational space where your level of participation is self-honouring.

Upon registration you’ll receive a Zoom protocol that is deeply rooted in Self-Care practices. As a neurodivergent person with sensory sensitivites, I have needed to create a protocol to prevent Zoom fatigue and not overwhelm myself. I provide many tips so you can best take care of yourself and still remain connected and engaged. Because this is a shared container, everyone (including you) brings wisdom that enriches the experience. Sharing insights and challenges also provides normalization and validation amongst our community which enhances our growth and learning. It is never a requirement that you share outside of your comfort zone and no one is ever forced to speak. You are always free to pass.
