Crystal Earth academy
Are you in awe of mountain peaks and unusual geologic rock formations?
As a kid, did you collect rocks? Do you still?
Do you want more than the woo-woo metaphysical on crystals and rocks?
Did you enjoy taking or did you want to take a geology class in school?
Are you intrigued by the connection between the science of geology and the metaphysical modern associations linked to gemstones used in rituals, energy work, and meditations?
Are you hungry for stories and myths of long ago lands and people and how they incorporated stones into their daily world view?
This 64 hour program is designed to help you connect and learn from the mineral kingdom using both your scientific inquisitive mind and your intuitive senses. A majority of the program is online but there will be one required weekend in person.
A school for exploring consciousness and frequency through the integration of geology, mythology, geomancy, and spirituality in studying rocks & crystals through lectures (online) and experiential activities (in-person field trips).
Part 2
Sacred Mountains, Standing Stones, and Geologic Formations
The second half of the series focuses on sacred mountains, prominent geologic formations, and anthropogenic landscapes such as stone circles and cairns. We will explore these larger rocks and built rock environments also through the lenses of geology, mythology, ancient beliefs, modern rituals, geomancy, archeology, and other physical and cultural areas of study and experiential exploration.
In the second half of the program, you'll
- Learn about sacred mountains around the world and the common themes seen to identify mountains as sacred.
- Discover the theories and archeological evidence around stone circles, standing stones, and cairns.
- Learn the different patterns seen in stone circles, standing stones, and cairns and their connection to the greater landscape.
- Explore the myths associated with the creation of geologic landscapes in different cultures including the volcanoes and lava fields of Hawai'i and the Highland areas of Scotland.
- Discover the legends, stories, and energies connected to boulders, bedrock material, and the Trolls of rocky areas in Northern Europe.
- Discuss various rituals and myths associated with naturally high power spots within the landscape.
- Learn how to create a ceremony to honor the spirit of the mountain or rock.
- Experiment with concepts within Geomancy and in building a stone circle.
- Practice connecting and building a relationship to a sacred mountain or prominent geologic formation through shamanic visualizations and breathing activities.

What you are getting in this series is a blend of my academic background along with my many years of studying and experiential learning with crystals and stones from the shamanistic, frequency, and vibration perspective.
The series expanded this year (2024) after I completed a year long training (Genesis) in Geomancy and the Spirit of Place with Fay Simple in the UK in 2023. I also traveled to Scotland to stand within the Callanish Stones and Clava Cairns among others. After returning from Scotland and my time communing with the stones there, I knew it was time to integrate more of the science/geology into the more metaphysical way I had been teaching the series. Also it seemed, based upon request that people really do want both, or the people I work with do!
If you want the New Age/Western metaphysical approach to working with stones only, this is not the program for you. There are so many dedicated and good people today teaching stones and crystal energy work in that way. If you know and feel there is something more in understanding the foundational aspects of geology along with the spiritual frequency of rocks, and how both can elevate and expand your consciousness, then this academy IS FOR YOU!
