This journey invites participants to deepen their intuitive connection with Spirit through divination — not by copying external systems, but by awakening the inner listener, the dreamer, the one already in conversation with the unseen.

Rather than learning “how to throw bones,” students will be invited into the process of being called, shown, and guided by their own ancestral wisdom and unique spiritual ecosystem.
