Doorways to Animism
Animism is a spiritual way of living based in mysticism, healing, and folk medicine. In this 5-week introductory exploration you will learn foundational wisdom-teachings, how to journey (shamanic) to the unseen realms to connect with animal allies, loving ancestors, and nature spirits, the basics on Plant Spirit medicine, and earth medicine rituals that will bring meaningfulness and enrich your life.

“The intro workshop was perfect for me by blending information, multiple journeys, and group sharing. Angela is a great facilitator that is caring, down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and she has a great balance between spirit and reality. I met my power animal for the first time and my eyes got opened to the different shamanic realms. I'd highly recommend this course for anyone who is looking for an introduction to animism.”

WHY THIS PROGRAM…
My experience has deepened my sense of spiritual connectedness to the natural world, the spirit world, and the human world. It’s also provided me with creative tools and techniques for accessing wisdom. This has helped me in my personal growth and learning, as well as my professional life.
~ Pam J, Winnipeg
Angela helped me discover and deepen my natural intuitive abilities and taught me shamanic skills such as journeying, tracking, songs and ceremonies that provided me with a sense of connection and grace in the face of adversity and change. ~ Bree Anna, Vancouver Island
Learning this Medicine path and living a spiritual way of life has taught me a new level of self-worth where I am no longer defined by the past. Connecting and receiving support from the Ancestors and spirit guides, and receiving the wisdom teachings has helped me discover my true self, reconnected me to the natural world, and liberated me from societal barriers. ~ James, Vancouver
FAQs
Do I need to have experience to join this program?
This is an introductory course so you don’t need to have any experience.
Will this course be a good start to the Apprenticeship?
Yes! Doorways to Animism is the pre-requisite to the Quintessential Revolution Apprenticeship
What will I need for this course?
Here’s what you’ll need to gather for yourself. A space where you are undisturbed and you have the option of either sitting up or laying down. Having room for our embodiment and dance journeys is also helpful. You’ll also need a small area for your altar space. Additional items include: a journal and pen, bandanna/eye covering, a clear quartz crystal that are you connected to. (Further instructions will be given upon registration)
Will there be recordings of the sessions?
Audio recordings of lessons will be available if you need to miss a week. That way you can catch up. At the same time, the nature of this program is exploring unseen realms, therefore it’s essential that we do so with safety and spiritual boundaries. The community container and instruction provides you with that.
I have Zoom fatigue and am sometimes shy to share. Is it a requirement to always have my camera on?
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 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 of our intentional dreaming journey. 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.
What if I have questions outside of the circle time?
I always stay on the Zoom class call to answer questions for 15mins afterwards . There is also the option of joining our Whatsapp group to ask questions there, or send me an email.
