Mystic Wisdom Circle: Archetypes & the Hero’s Journey
Hosted by Joanna Wiley

What if the experiences of your life are not random, but part of a deeper story unfolding within you?

Across cultures and throughout history, humans have told the same great story…. the Hero/Heroine's Journey. This timeless map of transformation describes how we are called into growth, face challenges, meet guides, and ultimately return with new wisdom to share with our community.

In this Mystic Wisdom Circle, we will explore the universal Archetypes that appear along this journey. These Archetypal energies such as: the seeker, the mentor, the healer, the shadow, the mystic, and the elder. They show up in myths, spiritual traditions, and in our own lives as we move through different stages of growth and awakening.

Through open conversation, reflection, and exploration of symbolic tools such as the Tarot’s Major Arcana, we will look at how these archetypal patterns shape our personal journeys and help us understand the deeper meaning behind life’s transitions.

Explore:
• The Hero’s Journey as a map of personal transformation
• The universal archetypes that appear throughout myth and human experience
• How archetypal patterns show up during different stages of life
• The archetypal journey represented in the Tarot’s Major Arcana
• Recognizing the guides, challenges, and turning points along your own path

This is a shared circle of exploration where stories, insights, and perspectives are welcome. Together we will reflect on the deeper patterns that shape our lives and the wisdom they reveal.
Bring your curiosity and your voice as we gather in circle for an evening of meaningful conversation and reflection.

This Saturday, we gather for the final class of my series – Foundations of Peruvian Shamanism: The Ancient Art of Tracking Energy. This work is about learning how to feel and read what is actually happening beneath the surface, within yourself and within the field around you, and how to do that with clarity, permission, and integrity. It’s about trusting what you are perceiving instead of second guessing it, and building a relationship with your own awareness so it becomes something you can rely on in real life, not just in ceremony.

I’m weaving over twenty years of practice into this three-hour ceremonial workshop, and this is the last time I’ll be teaching this class in this way, before we shift seasons.

Because May is something different for me. I’m taking the entire month off from teaching, and I’m calling it Maker’s May.

Read the whole story....

There’s a quiet kind of knowing that doesn’t come from planning.

Last night, I dreamt of the Ñustas. Not in a way that felt symbolic or distant, but direct. Clear. Like being given instructions you don’t question.

I have everything packed and planned for today, altars, flower essences, flowers, kuyahs for today’s ceremony.

Yet in my dream, I was serving a tea. A rich, warm blend. One if my magical adaptogen mushroom chai with cacao woven in.

So this morning, I made a large pot of my fabulous tea. Slowly. Intentionally. Letting it come together the way it wants to in layers, same way it was prepared in my dream.

And now it comes with me into the circle.

This is the part of my work that can’t be taught in steps. It comes through relationship. Through years of tending, listening, showing up, and learning how to recognize when something is being asked of you.
This is how I work with the Ñustas.

There is a living conversation here.
Dreams... Subtle guidance.
And then the choice to trust it.

Today, we gather again.
And the tea is already part of the ceremony. It’s simple witnessing messages from Dreamtime, and it asks us to listen in waking days.

See you in the sacred circle!! 2-5pm 💕🙏✨

Peruvian Shamanic Foundations:
The Art of Tracking Energy
Tracking is the art of learning how to see, feel, and understand energy.… with yourself, within the field around you, and with others - with permission.
In this class, you will learn how to track energy in real time using both your intuitive senses and shamanic tools. We will explore how to gather clear information and how to trust what you are perceiving.
You will practice:
* Using journey tracking as a tool for deeper insight and guidance
* Working with a felt sense as a primary way of receiving information
* Tracking energy for yourself and another person through partnered work
* Tracking through the tapestry: reading patterns, themes, and energetic threads
* Learn safety protocols and boundaries of tracking energy in sacred space
* Working with a tracking animal guide that aligns with you
We work with strong energetic boundaries and clear protocols so tracking stays safe, respectful, and in right relationship. This creates a grounded and ethical container where you can develop your skills with clarity and integrity.
This is a hands-on, experiential class. You will practice tracking in a safe, guided container where you can build confidence in your own perception. Over time, tracking becomes a foundational skill for Shamanic healing, decision-making, and understanding what is truly happening beneath the surface.
This class is open to beginners and practitioners alike. No experience is needed, only a willingness to listen, feel, and explore.
You are warmly invited into a sacred circle of sharing, practice, and direct experience. I look forward to meeting you in circle and remembering our tools together.  XO Joanna
