We offer several workshops that will update on this page. The best way to stay in the know is to hop on the email list.
They include guided journeying, discovery, and resourcing. They invite thoughtfulness and provoke expansion possibilities in various ways that are typically topic dependent. Completely accessible to any experience level.
I'm filled with ideas and blessed to be conversant with my muses in the unseen realm. This means that I get to bring adventures into the spiritual realms of journeying to you! Dip your toes in or come for the full skinny dip. Expansion & Awareness are what comes.
Join us for a virtual hour-long class devoted to honoring all forms of grief and response to change. We will draw from wisdom traditions to craft a personal talisman - a power animal and a rune sigil, that hold space for you, your feels, and your transformation in a sacred way.
This will be offered live with a choice of 2 dates + as a recording.
In this class, we offer practices to help you embrace the full range of emotion that can arise during times of flux – whether you’re coping with loss, going through a major life transition, feeling overwhelmed by stress, or simply seeking more clarity and connection. With the guidance of power animals and rune sigils you’ll learn how to access grounding space as well as your inner wisdom in exploring your emotions fully. By honoring the time that grief and change need, you create space for deeper healing and transformation, in time allowing yourself to access more wholeness and self-awareness. These practices are a form of a grief altar within a talisman.
In times of change or uncertainty, we often need a symbol or a companion to help guide us. A talisman can help anchor this in with runes focusing your intention and a power animal offering comfort and wisdom. Whether you’re completely new to these practices or you’ve worked with them before, this class offers a gentle introduction and a deeper exploration. Together we’ll create a safe space where you can connect with these guides as you navigate life’s transitions. These symbols and power animals can be steady companions during change.

In this increasingly unpredictable world — with news cycles full of upheaval, and each day carrying a sense of instability—Mel struggled to find her footing. The constant flux around her left her feeling ungrounded, unsure of what to hold on to or what deserved her attention most. When she discovered the practice of working with a power animal and rune sigil, it gave her an anchor point. Her power animal represented equanimity and calm in times of change, while the runes in her sigil stood for holding sacred safety and inner stability. Each day, no matter how chaotic the outside world became, she would carve out a small ritual to reconnect with these symbols. Over time, she found that, no matter the uncertainty outside, she had a deep well of calm and strength growing within her, guiding her through each new challenging twist. While she couldn't control the world at large, she found a reserve of strength building and important space held with her power animal.
Jack was grieving the loss of his grandfather when he was introduced to these practices. It had been some time since his passing, far past his bereavement allowance at work and beyond what his social community considered a normal window of grieving. He found that his grief still ached though and did not know where he was safe to experience it. The pressures he was feeling to be done with grieving also created a rift between him and his friends. Gaining a power animal companion gave him an ally he could be with intentionally and feel his emotions. The runes that came together in the sigil supported his honoring of this depth of emotion and invited him to touch in with it when he would see it drawn on his mirror in the evening. A sense of relief would come over him as he breathed in the permission to feel. He found a way to honor his grief and connection to his grandfather outside of the social standards and in turn felt less judged by his communties.
While navigating so many life transitions, Aimee was feeling overwhelmed and burnt out. The pressures of needing to keep up with all-the-things piled on and she found it difficult to function - clarity evading her, motivation exhausted. Learning about her change process and allowing intentional time each day to be with her power animal was key to her being able to make time and space for herself and her process. Her connection with this companion opened up space in busy life for her to decompress emotions and honor them.
It seemed counterintuitive to add another practice, but it was through this practice that she eventually found her pathway out from overwhelm. Looking at her rune sigil reminded her to make time for herself, invited her in to her "flux and grief altar" and helped her to become the compassionate witness in her life.
Alex, a devoted parent, often felt like their entire day was consumed by taking care of everyone else—meals, school runs, work, and the endless cycle of family life. The weight of responsibilities left little time to reconnect with themselves. Discovering the practice of a power animal and rune sigil offered Alex something unexpected—permission to claim a sacred space just for themselves. Their power animal represented quiet inner strength, and the runes in the sigil became a daily reminder that even a small moment of stillness could recharge their spirit. As they carved out these moments—sometimes just a few breaths before the house woke up, or after the kids were asleep—they began to feel a shift. That small ritual became a touchstone, helping them move through the chaos of family life with more balance and calm, knowing that their needs were seen and honored too.
Liv had been running on empty for months. Work demands piled up, personal responsibilities weighed on her, and the thought of taking a break felt impossible. But when she as introduced to the idea of connecting with a power animal, something shifted. This companion became a symbol of resilience and rest, urging her to slow down and listen to her own needs. The rune sigil she drew on the small stone she carried everywhere, reminded her that even in burnout, there is wisdom in rest. With each intentional pause, she felt a small piece of herself returning, the overwhelm lifting one breath at a time.
This work is heart centered and seeks to remind us of our truth, our connection with our true selves, and our heart lights. We like to cultivate the space for truth to rise.
Group workshops are amazing opportunities to experience guided journeying, which is similar to guided meditation but more adventurous.
Working within a group is a unique experience that opens you to your subtle sense, also called your clairs, more and more. This effect ripples out into your life to bring you more vibrancy.
MENTORSHIP. If you are on a shamanic or spiritual path, there is so much we can work together on unfolding and re-membering. Working with a practitioner offers different perspective, learning opportunities, and faster attunement to your subtle senses.
VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS & CLASSES. It is one of my loves to offer workshops to a virtual community, making the space and time between us feel less. I love to share learnings that have inspired me, pretty sure sharing helps me to integrate more. And I love holding space for a group, the ebb & flow, the sacred tending. I will update what is being offered periodically. The best way to stay in the know is to hop on the email list.
IN-PERSON WORKSHOPS & CLASSES. The chemistry, the ENERGY of an in-person workshop is invigorating! These are adventures via guided journey into places my helping spirits have asked me to take humans. I offer them at yoga studios, and other special places that I am invited.
“Melissa tends a very particular spiritual space that is unlike anyone else! It is at once deeply present and playful, willing to go to the depths and yet emerging hopeful, making space for limitless curiosity and yet holding a safely boundaried container, extremely sacred and delightfully irreverent.”
