A journey with Emily is a journey home to a more powerful, alive and joyous version of yourself. She is one of the most powerful, magical people I know, and if you let her she will weave that power and magic into your life too. I would highly recommend doing this course with her, especially if you want to bring work into the world that is more aligned with yourself, the earth and spirit. Emily will show you the tools and the way, because she embodies what she teaches. Doing this course will also connect you to other magical people, with whom you can practice the new skills and who will support you along the way. ~ Nelly Henzler, Qi gong and Nei gong Teacher
✨ Do you hear the quiet hum of something ancient calling you home?
✨ Have you felt the burning in your chest that says, there’s more I came here to be?
✨ What if your tenderness was never weakness, but the wild, unshakable pulse of the sacred within you?
✨ Are you ready to turn the overwhelming avalanche of everyday life into embodied radiance and sovereignty?
It maps the art of tapping into the timeless frequency, knowledge, and practices of your ancestors to release their sorrows, harness their power and embody their gifts, while activating your soul’s purpose.
Within your body remains the wisdom of generations past, the resonance of sacred rituals, ceremonies, and initiations, alongside the encoded memories of unresolved traumas and patterns of pain and suffering that have haunted your family line. These wounds can grip your everyday experience as feelings of anxiety and depression, relationship struggles, financial difficulties, and career challenges. If left unaddressed, these patterns snowball down the generations, impacting not only your life but the lives of your children and grandchildren to come.
Intergenerational trauma is a silent force that can shape our lives, but it doesn’t have to define our destiny.
If you yearn for a fresh start, free from the burdens and limitations of the past, generational alchemy is the key. Together, we’ll awaken your lifeforce and access the lineage of your potential, infused with the magic, mysticism, and brilliance that once was exiled or burned at the stakes, but never died.
You didn’t arrive on this Earth, in this time, to shrink away from the embers of your deepest knowing, to dim your light, or doubt your soul. This life is your invitation. This human body is your portal. Truth is your compass. And the family and time you were born into – even if extremely painful – is the training ground for your soul’s evolution.
Set intentions, dream wildly, and co-create with the multidimensional field of ancestors, guides, and the cosmos within an inspiring, pulsing community of pattern breaking souls. Together, we will unveil these ancient mysteries and integrate them into your everyday life, love, and leadership.
“The Empowered Empath and Sage Soul course offered by Emily Blefeld has changed my life, and I can recommend it without hesitation. As a therapist, I knew there was a deep-seated and painful issue getting in the way of realizing my deepest desire, to become a more intuitive healer, but I wasn’t able to clarify and address it until I met Emily. She has exceeded all expectations. Every class was a gift, and the amount and quality of her online teachings left me inspired and amazed. I am gratified to be operating at a higher level in my work and I’ve come to a place of forgiveness in my personal life which has set me free! I’ve also found a group of like-minded individuals who can understand and support me on my path, which is invaluable. Emily is a guru and a jewel!” ~ Jill Moretti, APRN

All souls on deck! This 12-week program is calling…
* Empowered empaths, who see, know, feel and/or hear the unspoken truths of the living and unresolved consciousness of the dead, yet sometimes struggle with small talk, commitment, and feeling energetically hijacked
* Witches, alchemists, and shamans who are fiery cauldrons, kicking out stars and magically wielding a new way, but muffle their voice and dim their blazing luminosity to resist visibility in fear of being “found out” or criticized
* Mediums, family constellators, herbalists, therapists, writers, coaches, lawyers, artists, and everything in-between who are ready to break-free and unleash their legacy, but are loyal to a role, profession, license, relationship, or sense of security
* Mystics, intuitives and healers who powerfully inspire, support, and tend their family and communities, while concealing their altars, tarot cards, and spiritual books
* Folks ready to dive deep to love more fully, live more consciously, and weave a wider web of influence through their work or passion projects, while magically stoking the communal hearth.
This sacred circle is a place for you to be met and seen. To hear the truths of the universe channeling through you. To acknowledge the seeds that drip from your heart regenerating the earth and all beings you touch.
It’s time to live the life your soul has been preparing you for, to rise from story into embodiment and to let your light lead.
Know, with bone-deep certainty, that you are
“The One the Ancestors are waiting for.”
Reflections from the field of those who said YES!
Over the course of 3 months, we will gather weekly as a group with Emily and your unique cohort of empowered empaths and embodied oracles. All gatherings will include “tuning-in”, systemic experiential process, and teaching on practices for empath-oriented self, soul, and lineal care, enhancing intuition and psychic perception, and approaching tasks that support your soul’s evolution in a way that grounds ideas into everyday reality and manifestation. All participants are experienced in some way (workshops, trainings, sessions, online courses, etc.) with a systemic perspective and approach to ancestral healing.
Through a private Systemic Constellation, you will access your body’s natural capacity to perceive and integrate the ordinary, ancestral and spiritual dimensions of consciousness that are at the core of what it means to be you. You will be guided to clarify your desires, crystallize your intentions, step to your edge, and move beyond. In this transformative process, you will greet the resistance within or around you that stands in opposition to you and your emergence. The deep root of your burdens, blocks, and restraints are often inherited and remain alive in the heart of a family or soul lineage for up to seven generations. The systemic approach illuminates and clears these interferences, allowing your heart to open to nourishment from the strongest resources for life’s flourishing and nectar for pleasure, presence, and purpose.
- work together to find those desires within you that need attention and connection.
- release old beliefs that keep you stuck in patterns of shame and disconnection.
- cultivate an inspired relationship to your body, sexuality, and sensual self.
- awaken your wild passion and make space for it to create change.
- cultivate self-acceptance with grace so that you walk through the world with an unwavering, and deep-felt trust in yourself and your desires.
As you awaken to deeper levels of intuition and release inherited patterns, one question naturally emerges: How do I fully trust myself?
Many empaths, intuitives, and seekers spend years looking outside themselves for confirmation of what they already know. True spiritual authority, however, is not about having all the answers—it is about cultivating a deep, unwavering trust in the wisdom that already lives within you.
In this private mentoring session, Dr. Heléna Kate will guide you in recognizing where you unconsciously give your power away and help you strengthen your connection to your own inner guidance. Together, you will explore how to discern authentic inner knowing from fear, self-doubt, and external expectations, while learning to stand firmly in your truth with greater clarity, confidence, and presence.
You will leave with a deeper connection to your authentic voice, practical tools for navigating life from a place of grounded spiritual authority, and a renewed confidence in your unique path and purpose.
Seeing with Your Heart means accessing your body’s evolutionary capacity to perceive and integrate the ordinary, ancestral and spiritual dimensions of consciousness that are at the core of what it means to be human. The emerging science of human consciousness reveals that many of our inner disturbances are inherited through ancestral and collective trauma.
In this transformational workshop, Emily and Dan will guide you through hidden pathways of the heart to access the depths of your existence and the most deeply embedded patterns rooted in the sorrows and suffering of past generations. In their unique process, you will gain an embodied connection with resources that will infuse your life with magic, understanding and deeper feelings of ease, flow, love, and abundance.
A breath deepening, heart opening, mystical experience to connect with the pulse of purpose in your life. This ritual is a deep soul-level journey to uncover and clear the vows, contracts, and patterns you’ve carried across lifetimes… the ones shaping how you show up (or don’t), how deeply you trust yourself, and how fully you allow yourself to be alive.
Through guided Past Life Regression and transformative breathwork, you’ll uncover both the shadows and the gifts woven through your soul’s history. Together, we’ll release what no longer belongs to you while reclaiming the creativity, wisdom, courage, and inner knowing that have always been yours.
Guided by Sally Nilsson and Eric Kolesar of Tula Vida Ranch, this experiential workshop brings you into direct relationship with presence, the body, and the intelligence of the animate, natural field. Horses act as sensitive, non-verbal mirrors. They respond to what is true in your nervous system. This creates immediate feedback that reveals unconscious patterns, relational dynamics, and hidden imprints. This work strengthens your ability to perceive systemic information through embodied awareness.
Through guided equine experiences, you build capacity to track your nervous system, deepen authentic presence, and develop non-verbal attunement. You practice staying grounded in intensity, accessing clear perception, and leading from embodied knowing. This workshop supports you to trust what you sense, work with relational fields through horses, and expand how you live, love, and lead with clarity and precision.
Weekly inspiring heartwork (“homework”), designed to accelerate your transformation and manifestation. This includes at-home rituals, practices, art, and group experiential processes.

When she’s not guiding clients or leading workshops, Emily walks the ocean shore of Aquinnah, where she resides—gathering inspiration from the tides and the whispers of the land. She receives nourishment from ritual, gratitude, and the simple act of greeting each new day with movement under the rising sun, offering thanks for the unseen worlds that shape her path. Rooted in reverence and alive with boundless energy, Emily is frequently found in heartfelt gatherings with friends and family or joyfully supporting the creative visions of others. A natural night owl, Emily does some of her most inspired work under moonlight, when the veils are thin and her love of the liminal hums with possibility.

Elise Bish is a conscious sexuality educator, sound healer, and family constellation facilitator. She believes that sex is sacred, pleasure is healing, and desire is our motivation to grow. Elise has over a decade of experience in the field of sexuality and has supported hundreds of people in cultivating an inspired relationship to their desire through embodiment practices, ancestral healing, and conscious sexual skill-building. In her 1:1 coaching, workshops, and retreats, she holds sacred space where people of all genders can explore their relationship to their desire and sexuality in a shame-free, non-judgmental environment.
As the Desire Catalyst, Elise supports her clients in weaving new levels of awareness through their mind, body, and spirit.

Dan Cohen, PhD specializes in helping individuals, couples, and families heal the effects of inherited trauma and fulfill their deepest longings for love, connection, and meaningful impact. He has a particular passion for addressing generational trauma passed down through war, genocide, and the legacy of slavery. Blending a near-encyclopedic knowledge of world history, mythology, and culture with an uncanny psychic awareness, Dan offers profound, transformative healing that restores peace of mind and expands new possibilities for life’s flourishing.
Before earning his PhD in psychology and training directly with Bert Hellinger as a Constellations facilitator, Dan was internationally recognized for his work in violence prevention and conflict resolution. As a former Strategic Planning consultant to the Director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, he pivoted away from national security to become a founding member of the City of Cambridge(MA) Peace Commission in 1981. For over four decades, he has devoted himself to understanding the violent and hostile urges that shadow the human heart.

He holds a PhD in psychology from Saybrook University and an MBA from Boston University. Dan is the author of I Carry Your Heart in My Heart: Family Constellations in Prison and numerous scholarly articles and book chapters.

When he’s not with clients or teaching, Dan can be found writing reflections on a recent class, chasing the latest theories on consciousness, or reading scientific research most people wouldn’t touch without a glossary. He walks daily along the shore of Martha’s Vineyard with his dog Ruby, listening for eternal truths in the ocean wind—and occasionally offering dry commentary in return.
A devoted father, partner, and adoring grandfather, Dan lights up most when his family and dear friends are near. In his world, brilliance and humility walk side by side—stalking wise words and wisecracks in equal measure. A longtime Red Sox fan, he’s intimately acquainted with hope and heartbreak—and still shows up to every season with unwavering enthusiasm tempered by just the right amount of irony.

Dr. Heléna Kate, PhD integrates psychology, spiritual wisdom, and nearly three decades of experience in human development to help people cultivate greater self-knowledge, discernment, and trust in their own inner authority. Her work explores the intersection between our psychological patterns, intuitive capacities, spiritual development, and the choices through which we shape our lives.
At the heart of Heléna’s work is a longstanding inquiry into what allows insight to become lived transformation. She helps people recognize the difference between fear and intuition, conditioning and authentic desire, ego and Higher Self, and the many internal and relational influences that can make it difficult to hear one’s own deeper knowing. Her approach supports people in developing the clarity and self-trust necessary to engage their intuition and spiritual sensitivity while remaining grounded, discerning, and fully engaged with life.
Heléna holds a PhD in Psychology and has spent close to thirty years working in the fields of psychology, coaching, healing, leadership, and spiritual development. Her background includes work as a psychotherapist, transformational mentor, educator, author, and spiritual teacher. She has worked with individuals, practitioners, entrepreneurs, and leaders at many stages of personal and professional development, bringing psychological and spiritual understanding together with practical tools for creating meaningful change.
A lifelong student of spiritual practice, Heléna has traveled extensively to study diverse wisdom traditions, including shamanic, mediumistic, devotional, and Gnostic paths. She currently serves as a spiritual guide and senior initiate within the Western Hermetic and Esoteric lineage of King Solomon. Believing that there are many authentic paths of spiritual development, she works with people of all backgrounds and beliefs, helping them cultivate greater clarity, discernment, and authenticity on their own unique journey. For those who feel genuinely called, she also guides individuals into the study and practice of an authentic Mystery School lineage that has been preserved and transmitted for thousands of years.
As part of this program, Heléna brings particular attention to spiritual authority and discernment: helping participants deepen their ability to recognize their own inner guidance, distinguish the voice of the Higher Self from fear and conditioning, and translate spiritual awareness into clear, grounded choices. Her work is ultimately oriented toward helping people become more fully themselves and more capable of living what they know.

Oana Tănase is an alchemist at heart. Over the past decade, her path has led her to train in systemic and executive coaching, business and family constellations, alchemical constellations, and somatically oriented approaches.
Her work is grounded in a simple yet profound premise: we rarely create what we merely wish for — we create what our inner state, identity, and capacity can naturally hold.
Through systemic coaching and constellation work, Oana supports people in reshaping their personal “attraction field,” not through striving harder, but by stabilising into the identity capable of holding the intentions and the life they long to create.
In her work, Oana brings awareness to the emotional and systemic patterns shaping our sense of possibility. Feelings such as grief, shame, and guilt — often carrying unspoken ancestral stories — can quietly narrow what we feel able to desire, receive, create, or become.
At the level of the body, imprints held in cellular memory — patterns that once shaped perception — begin to soften and release, allowing new possibilities to emerge and take root while expanding the embodied capacity to receive and sustain them.
When something begins to feel natural and possible within us, the body settles into a new level of coherence. From this place, our embodied, rooted presence begins to reorganise the field around us, and synchronicities often become the language of this emerging alignment between who we are and what we seek to create.
Through rhythmic, resonant language and creative rituals of passage, Oana invites people to mark the completion of an old identity and step into a new one. In this way, the process mirrors the timeless blueprint of initiation — an arc of descent, reclaiming, and embodiment — opening the way for people to embrace the life that is uniquely theirs to live: a living celebration of their radiance.
When we fully inhabit the life that is ours to live, our presence becomes medicine — a living transmission of hope, love, and peace.

Donna Wilding is a life and business coach, shadow huntress, and light gatherer who guides women (and some magical men) to bring their soul’s work fully into bloom.
With arrow-straight yet loving guidance, she serves as an alchemist transforming challenges into gold while teaching others to dance with the mystical workings of the Divine. Her work is a union of spirituality, creativity, and embodiment, weaving esoteric practices with grounded strategy to help soul-led entrepreneurs turn their gifts into radiant offerings that flourish.
Before stepping fully into her calling, Donna built a career in advertising, working with two of Canada’s largest brands, collaborating with artists across North America and learning firsthand how creativity, storytelling, and commerce intersect. But as the industry became increasingly consumed by power via profit, she felt called to redefine what selling meant to her: a sacred exchange rooted in offering her true voice to the world.
She went on to become a yoga teacher, guiding students in both corporate spaces and sweaty studios, building a thriving YouTube channel, and selling out retreats. Alongside her yoga journey, Donna deepened her path as a Reiki Master, Birth Doula, Numerologist, and Past Life Regression Facilitator, while also co-founding a mystery school. She eventually trained as a Life Coach, weaving these diverse experiences into a body of work devoted to women’s empowerment and prosperity.
Donna believes that how we live informs how we lead, that aliveness is one of our greatest measures of success, and that the businesses we build inevitably reflect the lives we create. At the heart of it all, she holds connection as sacred, time as a holy element, and love as the way forward. You can find out more about Donna by visiting donnawilding.com.
