Essential Information

For R2R year 1 graduates considering the next level, please note

The Year 2 Return to Reverence Immersion is an in-person offering for those who have completed the Year 1 R2R program and have demonstrated the dedication and drive to bring in further medicinal elements. The focused priority is on healing the Self, with mentorship on safely integrating certain techniques into any existing private practice you may have, or should friends and family ask you for your support. The Year 2 program is offered as a skill set complimentary to the work you have already done, and will do in the world. ​It is not "Practitioner Training" but will draw on your abilities and instinctual nature, to help others, the earth, and yourself. This year we will spend more time with each way of working than in the Year 1 format, and each aspect is essential to establish before the Vision Quest experience. The Solo Work for the bigger aspects will be ongoing throughout the year with milestone check-in points, and two full months of focused preparation for the Vision Quest are needed. The application process is influenced by your time in Year 1, your motivation for continuing, and ability to dedicate to the work. If you need a gap year to further anchor your spiritual lifestyle, you may be able to join the next year's offering of Year 2 with another group.

Juliette Jarvis

Meet your facilitator

As a bean feasa living in qathet, I work with the medicines within the beautiful traditional lands of the Coast Salish people as well as the traditions of my Scottish and Irish ancestors.

People come to me for personal healing work, to attend ceremonies, and to establish an animistic, earth-centered, westernized 'shamanic' way of living. Online supports for your spiritual practice through videos, audio recordings, magazine articles, and discussion groups are also available.

My journey into this practice began in 2007 with an intensive 3 year practitioner apprenticeship for those with Celtic ancestry. By January 2013 I was offering community gatherings, workshops, and monthly spirit journey circles in both Squamish and North Vancouver BC. In 2015 a small focus group formed of dedicated attendees wanting to deepen their soul tending experiences, and I expanded my training with Sandra Ingerman's two Shamanic Teacher courses before the focus group evolved into two, full year long, initiatory immersion programs (Shamanic Living and Shamanic Medicine Ways). In 2019, out of consideration for the origins of shamanism, these programs were merged into a single two year offering and re-named as the "Return to Reverence Immersion" I've been on hiatus from teaching since 2020, and began to include the Irish and Scottish practice of Keening within ceremonial work in 2022. Currently I offer only limited one to one sessions and community gatherings while I focus on my devotional arts practice and learning the traditional skills of my heritage; spinning, weaving, growing flax, working with natural dye plants and ceramics.

This allows me to create ritual wear, sacred cloth, ceremonial ceramics, spirit dolls, talismans, and string magic, to facilitate soul tending work for my community. To find these offerings please visit the www.SelkieSanctuary.com

The online programs and self-paced courses that you find here are my response to growing interest outside of my region, and now also include the Devotional Arts Program offered through the Selkie Sanctuary.

I hope you will find supportive teachings, guidance in reclaiming your cultural heritage, and a deeper sense of connection with the natural world, the spirit realms, and to yourself within these offerings.
