Hey there, I’m Donna.

I didn’t grow up talking about spirits or energy or any of that.

I was a straight-A student who planned to be a foreign correspondent — smart, skeptical, and determined to keep both feet on the ground.

Then real life hit: grad school, burnout, a body that stopped cooperating, and a medical mystery no doctor could solve. In desperation, I tried something different — and that something changed everything.

A holistic healer told me I needed to turn my whole life around if I wanted to stay alive. So I did. I started studying energy work and eventually found my way into a shamanic circle. Week after week, I sat in ceremony, learned healing, dreamwork, and the language of Spirit.

Those experiences cracked me open. They showed me that the sacred isn’t a theory — it’s a relationship. And when I went looking for a lineage that fit my own roots, I discovered the Hermetic and theurgic traditions — Western paths that carry the same heartbeat of living Spirit.

That’s what Way of the Shaman is built on: real-world experience, grounded practice, and decades of study across traditions.

It’s not performance — it’s a way to rebuild your rhythm with the sacred, safely and sincerely.

If you’re ready to learn what that means for you — welcome home.

What is the Way of the Alchemist?

The Way of the Alchemist isn’t just a course — it’s a 13-week guided exploration of how deep personal transformation actually works.

It brings together ancient alchemical knowledge & modern psychological insight into a grounded, practical path for understanding change — not as an abstract idea, but as a lived process you can recognize and work with.

You won’t just study alchemy as symbolism — you’ll learn how the alchemical process shows up in real life, and how to work with it consciously.

Along the way, you’ll explore:
A clear framework for inner transformation
Practices that support change without bypassing the hard parts
A steady rhythm of reflection, experiment, and integration

When the Old Way Stops Working

There are moments when the structures you’ve relied on no longer hold.
What used to work doesn’t.
Who you’ve been no longer fits.

Modern culture treats these moments as problems to solve or avoid.
Alchemy recognizes them as the beginning of real transformation.

When something breaks down, it isn’t a mistake — it’s a signal that change is already underway.

Way of the Alchemist is for those moments.
It offers a way to understand what’s happening, stay oriented while things shift, and work with the process instead of fighting it.

You don’t have to rush it.
You don’t have to bypass it.
You don’t have to go through it blindly.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Inside the Way of the Shaman

Why did I create this course? Honestly — because the world is alive, and we’ve forgotten how to talk to it.

After years of teaching, I saw the same ache over and over again — people who felt spirit but didn’t know how to connect safely. People who’d glimpsed something real in ceremony or meditation, but couldn’t hold it in daily life.

Way of the Shaman is my answer to that.
It’s a structured, grounded path that helps you rebuild a living relationship with the divine, the natural, and the ancestral worlds — without losing your footing in this one.

Through guided practice, sacred theory, and lived experience, you’ll learn to move between the seen and unseen with clarity, humility, and devotion.

If you’re reading this, I believe you’re one of the few who still feel that pulse — the breath beneath the world.
You don’t need permission to walk this path. Just the right guidance and a framework that honors your soul.

That’s what Way of the Shaman offers.
So you can finally walk in balance — with yourself, your spirits, and the living world around you.

Special Bonus!

Initiation into the Way of the Shaman

Initiation is a threshold. It’s not a performance — it’s a passage.

At the end of your 13-week journey, you’ll be guided through a personal rite of self-initiation — one that anchors your relationship with the divine, natural, and ancestral worlds.

You’ll weave everything you’ve learned into a living ceremony: a sacred conversation between you and the spirits you’ve come to know.

It’s not about more knowledge...

It’s about embodiment — walking the path as a living bridge between worlds.

Move at Your Own Pace — You Won’t Fall Behind

You’ll keep access to every lesson, journey, guide, and recording for as long as the course exists inside Magic & Mastery. Even if life gets chaotic, you can work at your own pace, revisit teachings anytime, and grow in a rhythm that truly fits your life.
