​​Cost

The financial commitment for this intimate, private, year-long program is $12,000 when paid in full, or four payments of $3,240. 

For cash transactions, there is a discount offered (ask me for details.)

Included in The Initiation year-long program are:​

​​

• 36 hours of one-on-one Personal Guidance Sessions with Jaclyn that can include: Spiritual Guidance, Therapy, Empowerment Coaching, Strategic Business/Life Re-Structuring, or Jungian Sandplay Therapy.

• ​30 hours of uniquely curated Experiential Modalities with Jaclyn + guest healers that include: Shamanic/Medicinal Sound Ceremonies, Shamanic Journeys, Yoga Nidra Guided Meditations, Rites of Passage, Rituals for Letting Go, Prayers & Blessings, Somatic Healings, Celebration Ceremonies, & Nature Rituals. Note: the cost for any/all guest facilitators involved in the Experiential Modalities is also included.

​

Are there any extra costs?

Underneath the "More" category, you will find optional modalities you can add the program. "Preparing for the Beloved", "Intuit", "Yoga Nidra: Past Life Regression" and "Tribe" can either be added to the program at the hourly rate of $180/$150 cash, or they can be switched out in lieu of existing modalities (or Personal Guidance Sessions), at no extra cost to you. The "More" category modality titled "Retreat" is a completely customized option that will be created specifically for you, upon request, and will require an additional cost which varies depending on the location, the other facilitators involved, and the overall extensiveness of the Retreat. If you are being mindful about spending extra money, the Retreat option can easily incorporate a number of the existing Experiential Modalities, rather than standing alone as an entirely different & additional experience - this helps a lot with cost. 

​

On another note, some individuals may decide they want more Personal Guidance Sessions during a particular part of the year-long journey (i.e. if you are working through something very new or intense, you may wish to come in weekly that month instead of just twice, which would require that you sign up for two, additional Personal Guidance Sessions, at my hourly rate.) It is entirely up to you whether or not you wish to add more monthly sessions at any point during this program; I will never pressure you to do so.​

​

Is there an average age of a participant?

I've worked with individuals ranging from their teens to their 70s. There is something beautiful and profound about all stages of life, and there is much to be gained from The Initiation regardless of your age. Since this is an intimate, one-on-one program, the journey will be adapted specifically for you; the content is mercurial within the 15 Experiential Modalities, so depending on your specific needs, desires, and level of cultivation, the modalities will be adapted to suit you. As for the Personal Guidance Sessions, they are entirely customized, so whatever age, ethnic background, religion, partnership status, gender, cultivation level, or stage of life you are at, the program will be a meaningful opportunity for you to be seen in your truest form, held with great compassion, and guided further along your unique journey - starting from exactly where you are. ​​

​

Can I embark on this journey with a partner or spouse?

The Initiation program is meant to be a solo journey for individual activation, metamorphosis, and embodiment. Because of that, most of the modalities have been created specially for one person. However, if you'd like to sign up side-by-side with a partner or spouse to complete the program at the same time, that would be an incredible option. If that doesn't feel like what you need, I encourage you to read about SOAR's "The Big Heart Path" program, specifically designed for couples! It's a completely different experience than The Initiation because The Big Heart program's sole focus in on partnership & love. ​​​​​​​​​

​

What if we decide to travel or need to take time off for other obligations? 

As far as travel, illness, family time, or other reasons to pause your sessions - you are more than welcome to step away from the program as you see fit, as long as the program is completed within 1.5 years. One of the strengths of The Initiation program is that it serves as both a catalyst for new awareness + an incubator in which you will be guided to embody that new awareness. This is a different experience than popping in and out to see a therapist or attending a single retreat; this is a dedicated journey of inward reflection, change at the deepest levels, and meaningful application of that inward change to your external world. So, apart from "down time" due to illness, it is encouraged that you do not step away from the program for more than a few weeks at a time unless you are doing so in support of your process of transformation (i.e. taking extra time to integrate a new discovery, engaging in activities/travel that are nurturing your new awareness, focusing on the application of a big life change, etc.)

​

Will you be traveling or taking time off for other obligations? 

I will likely need to travel abroad during the course of our time together. I am a long-time devoted cultivator and sometimes travel for solo nature retreats, trainings, and residencies. These times away are essential to nurturing my own personal & professional development, and they serve to make me an even better guide for you, upon return.

If I do need to travel, you will always be informed ahead of time, and you will either have the option to continue meeting with me over Zoom (unless I'm in a very remote location) or we can simply pause the program until I return. If you choose to pause the program, I will leave you with a thoughtfully curated collection of gems in lieu of my stead (suggested books, activities, self-guided meditations, etc.) to keep you on track and in the energy of The Initiation program. Also to note: my time away will never count towards your 1.5 year completion time table (i.e. if I leave for a month, you then have 1 year and 6 months to complete the program.)

​

Do I have to use plant medicines in this program?

No. In some of the Experiential Modalities there is the option to be served hapé or a 25-herb tea, but neither of those medicines is necessary for you to experience results in those modalities; those medicines are merely intensifiers. For the optional Retreat, depending on your circumstances & goals, there are other plant medicines available which may be offered by guest healers. Again, these medicines are not required or necessary to experience the power of the optional Retreat.

The Initiation program is a medicinal container in itself, and the use of plant medicines isn't necessary for metamorphosis within that container - especially because this program has been designed to both 1) activate new awareness and 2) aid in the real-time integration/embodiment of that newfound awareness. While experiences with psylocibin, Ayahuasca, and other entheogens can be extremely healing, they are not the only way to heal. In fact, for some people, entheogens serve as colorful distractions from the less dazzling work necessary to create lasting vertical transformation (versus mere horizontal change.)

The Initiation program isn't trying to compete with the incredible visionary states that entheogens like Ayahuasca can induce; Ayahuasca will win...it's the strongest psychedelic on the planet! But remember: personal evolution is not built on visions and epiphanies alone - it is built on the combination of new awareness and the grounded, practical, functional application of such awareness into your everyday life. That combination, I can promise, is an offering that The Initiation provides. ​

​

How does The Initiation program work if we don't live in Las Vegas?

We will meet over Zoom for our Personal Guidance sessions, and regarding the remainder of the program experiences, you can choose to either:

​

• Come to Las Vegas for three in-person intensives/mini retreats over the 1.5 year time span, during which you'll experience all of the meditations, healings, rituals, & ceremonies OR

• Come to Las Vegas for two in-person intensives/mini retreats and then incorporate the remainder of the Experiential Modalities into a more extensive Retreat in the Pacific Northwest or abroad (or: elsewhere in the States if you have a special location in mind!)

​

For the first option, there is no extra program cost (you will just need to pay for your travel + accommodations.) For the second option, there will be an extra program cost due to the fact that I (& possibly Jessica, depending on your preferences) will be traveling for the Retreat.​

​

Do I need experience with meditation or shamanic work before I embark on this journey?

Nope! I love working with beginners, with full-blown masters, and with anyone in between. I've worked with such a range of clients over the years: from seasoned Dzogchen, Zen, and Vajrayana practitioners...to husbands or wives who were dragged in by their partners and were downright against the idea of meditation (or believed it was antithetical to their religion.) I am happy and comfortable with all levels of meditators and non-meditators.

​

Will all my problems be solved by the end of this program? 

That's a big ask...and we can certainly work towards that, but the possibility also remains that you will need to continue working on certain areas of your life after the program is complete. Most people I know (myself included) are life-long cultivators, and the practice of self-refinement never really ends, it simply becomes more sophisticated and subtle. If nothing else, you will receive a ton of clarity, life-changing wisdom, evergreen tools, and value from this program; and once you fully embody the wisdom & awareness that you uncover, your life will be fundamentally, permanently, positively changed. 

In short, by the end of this program, you will likely have arrived at a place of authentic self-hood and power, which will put you in a position to navigate life with far greater clarity, ease, and fortitude, so even if there are still areas in your life you must continue to "drill down on" moving forward, you will have a very clear continuing plan of exactly what those areas are and what you can do to continue your personal evolution.

​

Are other guides and healers involved?

There can be! And they are incredible. I have dear friends/colleagues in both Las Vegas and the Pacific Northwest who specialize in a variety of healing modalities ranging from somatic healing, grief therapy, trauma healing, nature immersions, yoga, plant medicine ceremonies, psycho-spiritual development, and physical detoxification, so depending on exactly what you need, any combination of these practitioners can be woven into your optional Retreat. As well, the Las Vegas based healers can be woven into The Initiation program, as is, without any extra cost to you! Jessica is already tightly woven into the Shamanic/Medicinal Sound Ceremonies; and Bekah, Chuck, & Justin are available, based on your specific needs, to lead or co-lead the "Liberate" and "Through the Gateway" modalities.​ I've shared a short introduction to each of the Las Vegas & Pacific Northwest guides below. There are also additional (unpictured) indigenous healers who may be available for one-on-one work with you, during the course of The Initiation program.​
