Cost

The financial commitment for SOAR's year-long program "The Initiation" is $11,000 when paid in full, or four payments of $2,880.

If you choose to pay with cash, the program is $9,400 when paid in full, or four payments of $2,400. This includes:

​

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

• ​28 hours of uniquely curated Experiential Modalities with Jaclyn + guest healers that include: Medicinal Sound Ceremonies, Shamanic Healings, Yoga Nidra Guided Meditations, Rites of Passage, Prayers & Blessings, Somatic Healings, & Nature Rituals

​

Are there any extra costs?

The "More" category modalities titled "Preparing for the Beloved", "Intuit", and "Yoga Nidra: Past Life Regression" can be added to the The Initiation program at my regular rate of $180 per hour, $150 per hour cash/Venmo. Or, you are welcome to integrate any of those three options into your included monthly Personal Guidance Sessions, at no extra cost. The "More" category modalities titled "Tribe", "Nature as Healer", and "Retreat" are completely custom options that will be created specifically for you, upon request. The cost for these varies greatly depending on the extensiveness of the planned experience/retreat.

​

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 an additional two Personal Guidance Sessions, at my regular 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 I 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 catalyze 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 spiritual retreat; this is a dedicated journey of inward descent, change at the deepest levels, and meaningful application of that inward change to your external world. So, illness aside, 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.)

​

It must also be noted here that I, too, 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, plant dietas, and trainings. You will always be informed ahead of time of my travels, and I hold myself to the same 1.5 year timeline for this program that you will commit to, so I will never leave for such a stretch of time that the program cannot be finished in 1.5 years.​​​​​​​​​

​

Do I have to use plant medicines?

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 every time...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.

​

Think of it like this: what good is a treasure chest filled with new awareness if you don't know how to properly invest it? No matter how big your jackpot winnings are, if you haven't mastered how to manage wealth, that wealth will eventually be mis-spent, lost, or squandered. There's a reason nearly 70% of Lotto winners blow through their winnings in less than five years (even winners of hundreds of millions of dollars!) If they take bad advice, have elaborate spending & giveaways, or make unwise investments, their treasure chest is soon emptied. New awareness is similar in that it's essential to know how to manage, integrate, and invest it so that, not only do you not lose it, but also: you can watch it grow, compound, and continue to provide you with an abundance of awareness for many years to come. Okay, this metaphor is getting away from me...

​

Do you offer scholarships?

I have an amazing, generous client who, upon learning about the creation of this program, offered to donate a yearly scholarship to one young adult in their mid to late 20s who is a perfect fit for The Initiation but does not have the financial means to sign up. 

Yes, that's right...my client (who would like to remain anonymous) asks for nothing in return other than that the recipient of the scholarship, "remain sincerely devoted to his or her process of transformation while in the program." To note: if you qualify for this scholarship due to your age and you can afford to pay for 1/2 or 1/3 of the total cost, please make a note of that in the scholarship application, and I can use the remaining scholarship money to help another person.

​

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 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.
