Become the guide this world is asking for.
The Wild Alchemy Practitioner Program
A transformational certification training that gives you skills to work ethically and effectively with spiritual transformation and soul restoration.
May 2026 - May 2027
These are threshold times
We are living through what many are calling the polycrisis: the simultaneous unraveling of ecological, economic, political, and social systems that have held the world together.
The old structures are dissolving. The things we took for granted — shared meaning, stability, a sense of direction — are shifting faster than most people can metabolically process.
Our ecological crisis needs a cosmological solution.
But what is breaking down is not actually political or economic.
It is a crisis of soul — a collective severing from the deeper intelligence that animates the Earth, our relationships, our creative purpose, and our sense of meaning.
The outer devastation is a reflection of an inner impoverishment.
Which means the most essential work of our time is re-ensoulment.
We need to remember the art of soul restoration — in ourselves, in the people we are called to serve, and in our communities.
What people need most, in this moment and in the years ahead, is not more information. Not more content. Not another technique.
What people need are guides.
We need skilled, grounded, ethical humans who know how to hold space for the full catastrophe and beauty of being alive.
And what you need, if you want to be a guide through these times, is community.
You need support and mentorship as you help others find their way through these threshold times.
People who know how to do this work — who have both the spiritual depth and the human skills to guide others through genuine transformation — are not a luxury right now. They are a necessity.
If you are reading this, you already sense that you are meant to be one of them…

An Invitation
The Wild Alchemy Practitioner Program is a yearlong online practitioner training in soul-centered healing, spiritual leadership, and the art of transformation.
It weaves ecological wisdom, alchemy, imaginal practice, and ethics into a grounded methodology that supports both your personal journey and your capacity to guide others.
No matter what type of spiritual or healing practice you offer, this program will make your work in the world more effective, more sustainable, and more aligned with your own soul’s gifts.
𓁿
There are four primary aims of this program:
To learn soul-centered spiritual tools—including journeywork, ritual, energy medicine, animist healing, and intuitive practices—to support sacred transformation for clients and communities.
To help you hold exquisitely safe and ethical space, so you can continually empower your clients, navigate resistance, create both short and long-term healing containers, and much more.
To understand your unique medicine, gifts, and way of working, so you can engage in this sacred work in sustainable, nourishing, and soul-aligned ways.
To give you foundational skills in business and spiritual leadership so you can begin sharing your offerings with confidence.
𓁿
This is an emerging path to transformation.
We aren't healing what's wrong — we're building bridges to where we want to be. Personally and collectively.
By attuning to the frequency of what we wish to create, we draw it to us. When we embody our divine blueprint, our aligned life naturally unfolds.
On Wild Alchemy
this is spiritual rewilding
We learn to embody how the wild world reflects our own wildness back to us.
And this is alchemy
We become both the alchemist and vessel through which all transformation takes place.
Does any of this sound familiar?
You love the Earth and feel genuinely called to deeper relationship with the more-than-human world — yet something still feels just out of reach. This program moves you from knowing about these dimensions to living in an authentic, reciprocal relationship with them.
You already offer spiritual guidance or healing work, but when deeper or more complex challenges arise, you feel underprepared. This program gives you the foundational human and energetic skills to meet whatever arises.
You feel called to spiritual leadership but something keeps stopping you from showing up fully. This program helps you find the specific, authentic way of being in the world that is most true to your gifts — and to work any resistance or fear that comes up along the way.
You've been burned by spiritual communities — had your trust broken at this most intimate level. This program is built around ethics, real boundaries, and transparency. Safety and sovereignty are the architecture on which this program rests.
You’ve had the highs — the spiritual insights, sacred ceremonies, peak experiences — but their effects didn’t last. This program helps you integrate spiritual wisdom into the human experience — and teaches you how to offer both to others.
You are overstuffed with knowledge and techniques, but what you need is integration, real practice, and personal mentorship. This program gives you exactly that, in a small cohort with direct access to Juniper.
You sense a call deepening in you — a yes to something you can't quite name. Trust this. You are in the right place.
The Art of Soul Restoration
Soul restoration is the alchemical process of coming into full coherence with all of yourself.
This is the return to the fullness of your original life blueprint — your birthright to experience, create, serve, and love in the specific ways you came here to do.
Obstacles don’t vanish, but they stop feeling so threatening. Instead, you touch upon your innate resilience to hold joys and sorrows with an embodied presence rooted in love and meaning.
And all of life feels more beautiful as a result.
In this program, you will experience soul restoration firsthand — and you will learn how to guide others through it.
Become the guide others seek out.
Let’s be honest: It’s actually quite rare to be deeply skilled in both spiritual healing and human healing.
(I think this is why coaching, wellness, and general transformational industries can have such problematic reputations.)
No matter how gifted you are at spiritual techniques — energy healing, shamanic methodologies, Akashic record reading, intuitive guidance — if you don’t have “human” skills, your clients will struggle with actual integration and transformation.
And no matter how skillful you are as a coach or therapist, if you aren’t able to facilitate spiritual transformation, your clients will never feel fully seen or nourished at the soul level.
But when you become skilled in both…
you become the rare practitioner who can hold the human and the mystery.
You guide your clients into cosmic states of consciousness and back into their bodies where their insights root and grow.
You create coherence of mind, body, energy, and soul — and your clients will feel the unshakable truth of their own gifts awakening.
Now imagine moving through your own life with these same qualities.
Embodied, present, and connected to your true self. You are a clear vessel, capable of alchemizing whatever arises — transforming the densest material into spiritual light.
Even a star billions of light years away changes how we navigate the sky. Your light will reach further than you can comprehend. The clearer a vessel you become, the more impactful your light.
Wild Alchemy is a Multidisciplinary approach to Spiritual transformation that combines:
𓇚
Alchemical
Coaching
Understanding the stages of transformation and your role as both alchemist and vessel
𓇚
Imaginal
Practice
Symbols, archetypes, myth, and trance states as living agents of change
𓇚
Ecological
Wisdom
The intelligent pacing, cycles, and magnetics of the natural world — as a literal foundation for practice.
𓇚
Spiritual
Leadership
Holding complexity and creative vision without bypassing or collapse
✧ The Philosophy Behind This Work ✧
Everything is frequency.
This work operates at the level of energy first — because it is in the energetic realm that change begins, before it ever manifests in the physical. Each of these four pillars is an entry point into that frequency work.
By attuning to the frequency of what we wish to create, we draw it to us. Then we create according to soul coherence — when we embody our divine blueprint, our creations naturally call themselves into our lives.
This is an in-depth, advanced training.
This isn't an ecstatic event with 300 people and a playlist that makes everyone cry. This is not a sacred ceremony in Egypt.
No shade, those can be lovely and transformative experiences….but this is different.
Most spiritual trainings teach the peak — but not the full landscape. Transcendence without groundwork. Healing language without the human skills to make it stick.
And in many cases, they actually reinforce the same dynamics they claim to heal: subtle hierarchy, spiritual bypassing, and the kind of dependency that keeps people in healing loops rather than moving toward genuine freedom.
The Wild Alchemy Practitioner Program gives you something most spiritual trainings don't: a comprehensive, grounded methodology that bridges the full spectrum of what it means to be a human in transformation.
This is the work that happens when self-doubt creeps in. When conflict arises with someone you love. When a piece of trash blows into your lovingly tended garden.
This is the work of a lifetime.
The earthy and the cosmic. The body and the field. The personal and the collective.
How transformation unfolds
The program follows a carefully sequenced arc — not in a linear curriculum, but in the spirals and cycles of the natural world
We root into the Earth.
This is where every spiritual tradition not colonized by hierarchical control tactics begins. And it is the key to your spiritual unfolding. You cultivate an animist consciousness and learn to connect with the living field of the land where you are, attune to natural cycles, and let the Earth — and the spirits of nature — become allies for everything that follows.
We are guided by alchemy.
But we rewild alchemy in this program. We study Hermetic processes of change and universal laws as living maps for our journey. We dive into Taoist alchemy and the spiritual path. And we tie it back to the earth and our animal bodies again and again. Then we become both the alchemist and the alembic — the catalyst and vessel for change.
We clear what’s in the way.
We look at what is blocking soul coherence at multiple levels of being. You will learn powerful techniques for identifying and releasing all types of energies and entanglements — the roots in other lifetimes, the seeds planted in childhood, the things that are yours and the things that were passed down from family, culture, and collective energies.
We restore and vision.
As the blocks are healed, more of your divine blueprint comes online. The work shifts from clearing to co-creation — visioning from a new place, discovering what your soul actually came here to do, and learning to hold this tender, sacred space for others.
We meet chaos with creativity.
This is where the program's deepest purpose comes into focus. Creativity is the antidote to chaos. This is a literal alchemical truth. Entropy is the raw material; we take it and organize it into something beautiful.
All of this work — the rooting, the clearing, the restoration — is ultimately in service of embodying your creative power.
inner alchemy for outer expression
To become capable of sharing our most important gifts with the world, we must begin with ourselves. This is why our apprenticeship focuses on both inner work and outer skills.
You will be held in a strong, safe container that will serve as an alchemical cauldron of personal transformation in this program.
And you will cultivate the skills that allow you to become this container for others.

"Juniper is a true healer, seer, and knower of truth. I've experienced many layers of healing and self-revelation from her work. I believe she will be one of the great teachers and healers of our time."
— Lisa G., Spiritual Medium
"Working with Juniper is equivalent to being in the presence of a beautiful force of nature — a well of wisdom, intuition, and penetrating insight wrapped in deep compassion."
— Agnes Udoh, Integrative Coach
The Pillars of Our Temple
This program trains you simultaneously as a spiritual coach — working through language, inquiry, and the alchemical framework — and as an energy healer working directly with the field, the body, and the imaginal realm. These two disciplines are usually taught separately; here they are brought together. Because you need skill in both to be an effective healer and guide at the soul level.
And this program roots everything in animist and ecological consciousness. There is no trancendence that bypasses our bodies. No fantasy that obscures our lived experience on earth. Only threads of love that weave us into a web of wholeness with all of life.
𓇚

Discerning and clearing foreign energies and frequencies
Working with the chakra system and auric field in practical, applied ways
Plants, flower essences, crystals, and the elements as healing allies
The energetic mapping of your soul blueprint
Why this. Why now.
The economy is shifting. AI is reshaping the nature of work. Our established institutions and shared narratives are losing their grip on our consciousness. We are grieving things we can't even name yet.
No one is going to need more content in the coming times.
What we do need are the processes to grieve, discern, integrate, and find creative vision during this historic turning point.
When others are collapsing in fear or confusion, when AI is erasing jobs and flooding us with highly processed content, this program will help you become a pillar of sanity and strength.
When you know how to stay rooted in the Earth — when you have authentic human skills, energetic awareness, and spiritual depth — will find that your gifts are not just valued…you and your work will become essential in these threshold times.

Your guide
Welcome! I’m Juniper Stokes.
I'm a ritualist, soul-healer, and teacher of animism and alchemy. And I have over twenty years experience guiding others back to the heart of who they are and why they’re here.
I've spent the last decade specifically refining how to work with soul restoration through an alchemical and ecological lens—in ways that are grounded, ethical, and rooted in spiritual and intellectual rigor.
My primary influences in creating this formation include my work with: Jessika Siorai and her mentorship in Taoist alchemy; Jamie Wheel’s trainings in flow states, leadership, and the polycrisis; Joanna Lindembaum’s mentorship in depth coaching, group facilitation, and ethics; over two decades of intensive spiritual trainings; and my lifelong mythic and mystic relationship with the animated nature of the earth and cosmos.
I’m here to support you no matter what traditions you come from or are drawn to. You are the expert of your own spiritual path. I believe that diversity is a gift to any circle and welcome those from all walks of life to join my communities.
Integrity and service are at the heart of my offerings…as is joy! This is serious work and we don’t shy from shadow, but we do laugh our way through.
Kind words…

— Cit Ananda, Energy Medicine Practitioner, Poet
"Juniper has a beautiful ability to help soothe and ground. Her years of experience in accessing inner knowing came through with very pertinent questions, leading to next steps and real feelings of relief. I would trust Juniper with helping to guide any of my loved ones."
— Brie Larson, Grief Counselor & Life Coach

Who this is for?
This Program IS For You If...
You're an existing practitioner—a coach, therapist, healer, teacher, or guide—and you want to deepen your capacity to work at the soul level. You're skilled in what you do, but you sense there's a missing layer of depth, a framework that would make everything click.
You're a serious beginner who knows this is your path. You're choosing this work as a foundational practice from which you'll build your offerings. You're willing to learn slowly, practice consistently, and show up even when it's uncomfortable.
You understand that spiritual power, ecology, and creativity are inseparable. You want to work in a way that honors the living world, not as a performance but as a real, authentic relationship.
You're done with spiritual frameworks that center gurus, bypass reality, or keep you in endless loops of self-improvement. You want freedom, empowerment, and sovereignty within your own spiritual path.
You want ethical training. You understand that this work involves power, projection, and vulnerability, and you want to learn how to navigate this with integrity.
You crave intimate mentorship from someone who has been doing this work for over a decade—not pre-recorded videos and a Facebook group with 200 other students.
You understand this is both a complete professional training and a foundational one. Everything here unfolds in a lifetime of learning. (The more “advanced” you are, you the more you see the truth in this.)
You are ready to stop consuming spiritual content and to become a conscious creator of your own spiritual unfolding.
This Program IS Not For You If...
You're still working through heavy trauma. This training asks you to take responsibility for your gifts and show up in service. If you're still in survival mode or need intensive therapeutic support, that work comes before a program like this (You can come back when you’re ready!).
You're a total beginner when it comes to the woo. You should already have a personal spiritual practice, some experience with meditation or inner work, and a basic understanding of energy, ritual, and consciousness. If you're just starting to explore spirituality, this will be too much too fast.
This is not for you if you need constant reassurance or hand-holding. I hold this container with care, but I don't rescue or parent my students. You need to be able to take feedback, show up consistently, and do your own inner work between sessions. (Psst: If a teacher says they are always available, watch out for the narcissistic control to come.)
You're looking for personal healing only. Yes, you'll do deep personal work (you can't guide others through what you haven't faced yourself), but the purpose is to train you as a practitioner in service of our collective. Spiritual maturity and readiness are essential.
This is not a training in core shamanism, energy medicine, or psychic development. This work integrates those elements within a much broader, more grounded framework that includes coaching skill, ethical practice, intellectual rigor, and ecological wisdom.
This is not dogmatic or lineage-bound. If you're looking for a guru, a specific tradition, or someone to tell you exactly what to believe and how to practice, this isn't it. I teach you how to think, not what to think.
The Mentorship That Makes This Different
Here's what most programs won't tell you: The container matters as much as the curriculum.
This is a small, intimate cohort. You're not one of 100 students watching pre-recorded videos. You're in a living circle where I know your name and can provide support for your own becoming.
You get direct access to me through:
Live lessons & community calls with personal feedback
Practice intensives where we refine your skills together
A private online community where I'm present and responsive
This level of mentorship is only available to apprentices in this program. It's not something I offer elsewhere, and this value alone exceeds the cost of the entire program.
Prerequisites
You will get the most out of this program if you have:
Experience with the shamanic journey or similar type of trance state/imaginal practice
One or more trusted allies or spirit guides (angels, spirit animals, ancestors, nature spirits, deities, etc.)
Understanding of your own intuitive ways of perceiving energetic and spiritual information
Basic knowledge about the energy body
Not sure you qualify? Apply anyway. Many people underestimate their readiness. You can also meet prerequisites through my Introduction to Shamanism intensive or Rewilding the Spirit program.
Kind words…
Juniper is an amazing teacher and facilitator. She has a deep connection with all of life, but her knowledge of and connection with non-ordinary reality are obviously a fundamental part of her nature and of primary importance to her. She embodies everything she teaches, and just being in her presence is healing.
—Kathy Frank, All Species Reiki Practitioner, WA
This is a Calling…
If you’re called here, you understand spiritual power, ecology, and creativity are inseparable.
You know your work is shaped by the systems you live within — and you want to take an active role in shaping those systems in return.
You sense that you are here to catalyze change, create beauty, and live in sacred flow with the more than physical dimensions of life.
You sense that the old spiritual frameworks—gatekeeping, manifestation, hierarchy, transcendence, rigid methodologies, endless personal healing—no longer match the times we're living in.
You want to guide transformation in others and you crave the ethical framework and skills to do this well
You're ready to stop consuming spiritual content and start embodying a practice you can offer to a world that desperately needs it
You want intimate mentorship from someone who's been doing this work for 20+ years — not prerecorded videos in a Facebook group with 200 other students
Shift From Consuming Culture to Creating It
We are going to need people who can hold complexity without collapsing. Who can grieve and still hold vision. Who understand that re-ensoulment — at the individual level, the community level, the planetary level — is not a luxury. It is the work of these times. Will you be part of this metamorphic shift?
Applications and interviews begin in April. Opening ceremony and preparation in May. We begin in earnest in June.
A note about this first cohort
This is the inaugural round of this program — and that is genuinely special. The first cohort receives the living, channeled version of this curriculum. I will be responsive to your group's actual needs in real time. The program is comprehensive and deeply planned, and it will also evolve to meet you. This is also offered at $2000 less than future cohorts.
In exchange, I asks for grace. Things may be messy. The pacing may shift. There will be improvisation. I will need to reschedule calls on occasion. I have zero doubt that you will emerge transformed — spirit has made this clear enough that I have stopped arguing with it. But this is the emergence version. The living thing itself.
FAQs
-
Yes! If you’ve been on a spiritual path for a while, then you already know we continually cycle deeper into our understanding of consciousness and spirit. My gifts lie in meeting you where you are and helping you go deeper, in the perfect way for you and journey.
Plus…too often spiritual healers inadvertently cause harm. This is because many clients expect you to have the skills of a therapist on top of your expertise - when you fall short of perfect therapist mode, it can breech the strength of your container. This training is designed to prepare you to meet the ever shifting needs of the real humans you work with.
-
If the personal transformation resonates but the client work feels uncertain — this program may still be for you.
The human skills you develop here are transferable to every relationship in your life. Deep listening, reflecting truth without shaming, navigating projection, holding space without losing yourself: these are lifetime skills, and they change everything.
And: much of the language in this program is framed around client sessions and practitioner scenarios. If that framing genuinely doesn't fit your path, this may not be the right program.
But if what you want is depth, transformation, and skills you will use for the rest of your life — this program will give you that, whether or not you ever work with an official client.
-
While everything we do is trauma-informed, this is not a trauma healing program.
You will learn to hold space for deep emotional and spiritual processes with integrity, but this program emphasizes reconnection, discernment, and the sacred arts—not pathology or diagnosis.
-
Yes! While I encourage you to come to as many calls live as you can, I know that life happens. All calls will be recorded so you can watch on your own time.
-
This program runs May 2026-May 2027. Our opening ceremony will take place Mid-May, and our regular schedule willl commence in June.
Our basic rhythm is:
Week 1: Teaching Call
Week 2: Teaching Call
Week 3: Community Call with Q&A
Week 4: Rest & Integrate
I’ll be sharing a detailed schedule soon.
-
At it’s heart, this is a training in spiritual leadership. If you create transformation or support others in their personal journeys, then this program will serve you. Teachers, parents, earth allies, bodyworkers, therapists, reiki masters, artists, creatives, psychics, doulas, caregivers…as well as the full spectrum of relationship coaches, wellness coaches, business coaches, and more will benefit.
-
This is a yearlong commitment that asks for your real participation — calls, practices, and integration work. This is not a program you can passively consume.
Plan accordingly — approximately 5-10hrs per MONTH, and know that the depth you bring is the depth you will receive.
Psst: Even the busiest participants will be able to fit this in ;)
-
No scholarships are available at this time. I’m already offering this at massive discount because you will be part of our first cohort. You can also select a payment plan.
If cost is a concern, please know this is the best price you will ever see for this program.
-
I know life happens! This is why you can access all course materials and recordings on your own time. For this reason, once the program begins, no refunds or pauses are possible.
-
You can thank all the trainings, good and bad, that I’ve taken over the years. I’m pouring everything I wish I’d had in my own trainings into this course and I hope you love it!
-
The optional certification includes documented practitioner hours, attendance, submission of session recordings for review, and a completion process with Juniper. Those certified are listed on her website as practitioners she refers clients to.
Full details and additional cost will be shared in program documentation. You have until August to decide if the certification path is right for you.
-
If you have a basic spiritual practice, some experience with inner work and energy, and you feel genuinely called — you are likely ready. Fill out the application and speak with me.
I would rather have a conversation with someone who isn't quite ready than have the right person talk themselves out of this transformational program!
-
The best way to get it answered is to apply and have an interview with me :)
