Trance & the Altered States
Beginning Sunday, October 4
A Beginner’s Journey into Consciousness and Spirit
Have you ever felt drawn toward trance, yet weren’t quite sure where to begin?
Perhaps you’ve experienced moments of deep intuition, stillness, or a quiet knowing that seemed to arise from somewhere beyond ordinary thought. Maybe you’ve wondered what trance truly is, or felt curious about the altered states of consciousness without knowing how to explore them in a grounded and supportive way.
If so, you are not alone.
For many people, the call toward Trance begins not with dramatic experiences, but with a quiet curiosity. A sense that there is something more to discover about consciousness, Spirit, and themselves.
This six-week experiential course offers a gentle introduction to trance and the altered states through relationship rather than performance. Rather than asking you to become someone else or follow a prescribed way of working, you will be encouraged to explore how your own unique relationship with Spirit naturally unfolds.
Whether you are simply curious, beginning your spiritual development, or looking for a grounded foundation from which to continue your unfoldment, this course offers a safe and supportive place to begin.
Beginning the Relationship
One of the greatest misconceptions about Trance and the Altered States is that it is something unusual or reserved for a select few.
In reality, many of us have already experienced altered states of consciousness without realizing it.
Moments of profound stillness.
Creative inspiration.
Deep prayer.
Meditation.
A quiet inner knowing.
These experiences remind us that consciousness is far more expansive than we often imagine.
Through guided practice, reflection, and experiential exercises, this course invites you to become more familiar with these natural shifts in awareness while developing a deeper relationship with Spirit.
The emphasis is not on producing extraordinary experiences.
It is on cultivating trust, presence, discernment, and relationship.
This Course May Be For You If…
- You have been curious about trance or the altered states but don’t know where to begin.
- You would like to develop your relationship with Spirit in a grounded and supportive environment.
- You value experiential learning rather than simply receiving information.
- You are looking for a safe space to explore without pressure or expectations.
- You believe spiritual unfoldment is a journey rather than something to be rushed.
- You are open to discovering how Spirit uniquely expresses through you.
What You Will Explore
Over the course of six weeks, you’ll be introduced to several expressions of Trance and the Altered States, each offering a different way of deepening your relationship with Spirit.
Together, we will explore:
Entering the Altered States
Discover what trance is, explore the spectrum of altered states, and begin recognizing the natural ways consciousness shifts beyond ordinary awareness.
Listening Beyond Thought
Experience the foundations of Trance writing and learn to cultivate stillness, trust, and receptivity through guided practice.
Giving Voice to Spirit
Begin exploring Trance speaking and inspired expression while developing confidence in your own unique relationship with Spirit.
Healing Presence
Discover Trance healing as a sacred partnership with Spirit, learning how to become a conduit through which Divine healing energies may naturally flow.
Communicating Across the Veil
Be introduced to Trance Evidential, a deeper form of evidential mediumship where relationship with Spirit may allow aspects of a communicator’s personality, presence, and individuality to be expressed.
Living in Relationship
Reflect upon your unfolding journey, deepen your understanding of your unique relationship with Spirit, and discover where your path naturally wishes to continue.
Throughout the course, there will be time for teaching, guided attunements, experiential exercises, partner practice, reflection, discussion, and questions. While each week introduces a new area of exploration, the emphasis is never on performance or perfection, but on developing trust, presence, discernment, and relationship.
A Different Approach to Learning
One of the things I have learned through many years of teaching is that no two people unfold in exactly the same way.
Some discover that writing becomes their natural doorway.
Others find healing.
Still others begin to explore speaking.
Many simply develop a quieter, deeper relationship with Spirit.
None of these paths is better than another.
One of the greatest gifts we can offer ourselves is the freedom to unfold naturally, without comparison and without trying to fit into someone else’s experience.
This course has been created with that philosophy at its heart.
Rather than teaching you to become like another Medium, my intention is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can begin discovering how Spirit naturally works through you.
My Approach
I do not believe that spiritual unfoldment can be rushed, nor do I believe that everyone is meant to experience Spirit in the same way.
Each of us has a unique relationship with Spirit, and that relationship unfolds in its own time and in its own language. My role is not to shape you into becoming a reflection of my experience or anyone else’s. Rather, it is to create a grounded, supportive environment where you can begin discovering how Spirit naturally works through you.
Throughout this course, you will be encouraged to remain curious, patient, and open to your own unfolding. There is no expectation that you will reach a particular depth of trance or have extraordinary experiences. Instead, we focus on developing trust, presence, discernment, humility, and relationship.
For me, Trance is not about performance. It is about partnership.
It is about learning to listen, becoming available, and allowing consciousness to unfold in whatever way is appropriate for you in that moment.
Some students discover that writing becomes their natural doorway. Others resonate with speaking, healing, or evidential work. Some simply leave with a deeper sense of peace and a more trusting relationship with Spirit.
All of these are meaningful.
There is no one right way to unfold.
There is only your relationship with Spirit, and that relationship is worthy of your trust, your patience, and your care.
I believe our relationship with Spirit is one of the most meaningful relationships we will ever cultivate. Like any meaningful relationship, it grows through time, trust, presence, and experience.

A Note on Readiness and Self-Responsibility
Healing the Healer is not something that is done to you.
It is a journey that unfolds in partnership with your own willingness, awareness, and readiness.
You do not need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to heal.
Many people begin with only a quiet sense that something feels heavy, that something no longer fits, or that they are being called toward a deeper level of healing.
That is enough.
Healing honors your own inner wisdom and personal agency.
There may be aspects of your life that you are ready to explore.
There may be others that are not yet ready to emerge.
Both deserve to be met with patience and respect.
When deeper layers remain protected, healing often begins by gently working around them—creating greater awareness, making space for what is ready to shift, and preparing the foundation for what may unfold in time.
Healing is not measured by how quickly change occurs.
It unfolds through honesty, compassion, and a willingness to remain present with yourself.
Healing the Healer does not promise instant transformation or miraculous results.
Rather, it offers a ceremonial space where Spirit, your own readiness, and the healing process can work together in their own time.
The work is yours.
Spirit walks with you.
I am honored to hold the space.
A Note About Attendance
Healing the Healer is designed to be experienced as a live five-week ceremonial journey. Each session builds upon the previous one, creating a rhythm that supports the unfolding of the healing process.
If you know in advance that you will miss multiple sessions, I encourage you to consider joining a future series when you can participate more fully.
At the same time, I understand that life is not always predictable.
If an unexpected conflict prevents you from attending a scheduled session, please reach out. Whenever possible, I will do my best to arrange an individual make-up session close to the original date so that you can continue the journey without losing momentum.
Because these sessions are offered as an accommodation and scheduled individually, they are limited and cannot always be guaranteed.
A Note on Timing
This series begins during eclipse season, a time many experience as supportive of heightened awareness, reflection, and inner recalibration. While no experience is ever forced or guaranteed, this period often invites deeper listening and more conscious engagement with what is ready to shift.
This container is offered during this time intentionally, to gently support those who feel called to work with their healing in a more focused way.

Closing Invitation
Healing is not about becoming someone new.
It is a journey of returning to yourself.
Healing the Healer was born from that journey and continues to be offered in the same spirit—with reverence, patience, and trust in both Spirit and the unique path of every individual.
If you feel drawn to this work, honor that.
You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin.
You do not need to know exactly what is ready to heal.
You only need a willingness to take the next step.
Healing unfolds in its own time.
This five-week ceremonial journey offers a space where that unfolding can be supported with intention, compassion, and care.
Whether you are someone who holds space for others or simply feel called to tend to your own healing, you are welcome here.
You were never meant to carry everything alone.
