The heART of Ritual

and the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

CRYSTAL THERAPEUTICS
Level 1 - 3 Training Programs

Crystal healing is an ancient form of gentle, holistic, non-invasive natural healing that works with your body’s own inner healer to restore equilibrium to your whole BEing.

Our approach is not to teach 'crystal prescriptions' for general application - focus is placed on unique dynamic real time assessment of the individual as they present in each session, and establishing and treating the root of the issue. Through successfully treating the root cause, the symptoms will naturally cease to exist and the individual will experience relief.

Crystal compounds, chemistry, and homeopathic principles of the crystals we work are covered in our Advanced course, so as to encourage responsible and informed crystal therapy.

WILD MEDICINE MAKING YEAR
Herbal Apprenticeship Program

 

Our herbal apprenticeship program is a hands on season by season adventure into the world of folk herbalism. The framework of this program is wild native medicinal herbs through the energetic principals of western herbalism. Our approach is rooted in relearning how we perceive health and illness, getting to know the herbs themselves, and developing a skillset in keen observation and awareness of the language of the body so that we can recognize 'conversations', patterns of disharmony, and imbalance. This provides a much more useful, practical, and holistic understanding of folk herbalism than simply learning to utilize herbs by matching them with illnesses.

 

Throughout this program you will come to understand the foundational properties by which herbs work, how the body's organs and systems respond to them, holistic assessment, and the art of using your senses, intellect, and intuition to perceive the physiological, energetic and etheric properties of herbs, and more.

 

This program is not just about herbalism though, it's much more than that! It's about a healthier greener way of living, personal development, self awareness, observation, service, and dreaming yourself into BEing. Throughout the year together, we not only speak about plant allies and their medicinal virtues and herbal lore, but also explore ways of fully integrating them into daily life.

One to One Biophilia Mentorship™

BIOPHILIA MENTORSHIP™ PROGRAM
A year-long rite of passage rooted in ancestral rhythms, elemental wisdom, and soul remembrance.

BIOPHILIA Mentorship™ is an intimate, one-to-one journey shaped by the Celtic Wheel of the Year — an ancient rhythm of time held by the land itself. It follows the eight seasonal thresholds of Samhain, Winter Solstice, Imbolc, Spring Equinox, Bealtaine, Summer Solstice, Lúnasa, and Autumn Equinox. These are not dates on a calendar, but living gates of transformation. With each turning, we meet a new elemental presence, archetypal movement, and ancestral teaching — walking not in theory, but in felt experience, oral tradition, and deep listening.

This is not a course. It is not a programme. It is a rite of passage. A living, breathing commitment to grow in rhythm with the seasons and to restore connection to land, psyche, and story. Together, we explore Irish cosmology, folklore, mythology, seasonal traditions, and the elemental currents that shape our inner and outer lives — not as abstractions, but as practical guides for how to live, grieve, create, listen, and belong.

Grounded in eco-psychology — the understanding that the psyche and the earth are not separate — this work invites a kind of soul literacy. We observe how the waters of emotion, the fire of transformation, the rooting of stillness, and the breath of change echo through the body, the land, and the cycles around us. It is not therapy, and yet it may be deeply healing. It is not performance, but a lived, sacred dialogue with what is already present.

Each month, we meet for a three-hour oral session. These are not led by slides or scripts, but through story, conversation, ancestral memory, and what arises. At the end of each session, you receive three invitations — one for the land, one for the soul, and one for the creative or therapeutic self — designed to help you integrate the work not only through reflection, but through lived practice, movement, and observation.

 

This is a path of process, not outcome. There is no final module, no certificate, no end point. Each person will receive the work differently, and that is as it should be. Some seasons will stretch you. Others will soften you. But all of them are invitations to meet yourself more honestly, more wholly, more humbly.

The mentorship is not mass-offered. It is held with great care, and only three places are opened each year to preserve the depth and reciprocity of the work. This is a mutual commitment. Not a casual engagement. It asks for presence, sincerity, and the willingness to walk what you long for — not just to name it.

Though the work is rooted in Irish tradition — in a culture where the seasons are still stories, and where myth lives in stone and tree — its essence speaks to something universal. All Indigenous traditions, in their true form, are shaped by land, sea, and sky. If you come with reverence, with a longing to listen more deeply, and to root yourself into your own thread of belonging, you are welcome here.

Each new mentorship cycle begins in November, aligned with Samhain — the Celtic New Year and season of descent. It is a potent time to begin.
