An immersive evening of ceremony, subconscious integration, and shamanic journeying.
There are parts of ourselves we can see clearly.
And then there are the parts that live beneath the surface.
The instinct we override. The truth we already know. The fear beneath the pattern. The desire we haven't allowed ourselves to name. The power we learned to make smaller.
Jaguar medicine invites us into those hidden places.
Not to become consumed by the darkness — but to discover what the darkness has been holding.
Because sometimes the thing we're searching for isn't waiting in the light. It's waiting for us to become willing to see in the dark.
Jaguar is an animal deeply associated across several Indigenous cultures of the Americas with power, night, transformation, rulership, and movement between realms.
A creature capable of moving almost silently through dense jungle, the jaguar doesn't need the entire path illuminated before taking the next step.
It listens. It senses. It moves.
And during Scorpio season — the season associated in modern astrology with depth, transformation, death and rebirth, intimacy, and what lies beneath the surface — we're gathering to explore that medicine together.
This isn't about getting rid of your shadow. It's about becoming curious about what it might be trying to show you.
This is not a lecture about jaguars.
It's an experience of the medicine we are using the jaguar to symbolize and explore.
Caitlin and Victoria will guide you through an immersive ceremonial journey designed to help you slow down, listen inward, uncover what has been living beneath the surface, and integrate what you discover.
The evening will weave together:
You don't need to know exactly what you're coming to work on.
Come with a question. Leave more connected to your own answer.
Your body is constantly communicating with you.
Through sensation. Emotion. Instinct. Pattern. Expansion. Contraction. The inexplicable yes. The unmistakable no.
But many of us have spent years learning to distrust those signals.
We overthink. We override. We seek confirmation outside ourselves. We stay in what is familiar even when something deeper is asking us to move.
Jaguar medicine invites us back into relationship with that quieter intelligence — the knowing beneath the knowing.
Much of our evening will take place on the floor, so we encourage you to create a space where your body can fully relax.
Bring whatever will help you feel comfortable: a yoga mat, camping pad or cushion, blanket, pillow or bolster, eye mask, water, and layers.
The studio has a concrete floor, so more padding is better than less.
We'll provide the candlelight, mood lighting, altar, music, and ceremony. You create your nest.
"I was there front row center, and I can attest it was beyond f***ing magical! Can't wait for the next one."
— COURTNEY C."I journeyed to the stars and back and saw so many different moving visions. It was 100% worth the time."
— A GUEST, MOCKINGBIRD CEREMONY"You two really managed to turn a warehouse into a cozy, intimate, and magical space."
— A GUEST"I've been feeling the medicine all week... so powerful."
— A GUESTWhat if beneath the fear is instinct?
Beneath the anger is a boundary?
Beneath the grief is love?
Beneath the pattern is information?
Beneath the version of yourself you've outgrown is a deeper version waiting to emerge?
Jaguar asks us to become quiet enough to notice.
To stop abandoning what we know. To meet ourselves beneath the noise. And to reclaim the pieces of ourselves we've left in the dark.
Or maybe you simply feel the pull. Sometimes that's enough.
You don't have to be experienced with meditation, energy work, shamanic journeying, or ceremony to attend. You don't need to call yourself spiritual. You don't need to arrive with an intention perfectly articulated. And you definitely don't need to have your life figured out.
This is a space for curious humans willing to meet themselves a little more deeply.
Everyone is welcome.

Created by Victoria Richardson + Caitlin, the Animal Medicine Series is an ongoing collection of immersive community ceremonies exploring the wisdom humans have associated with animals across cultures, spiritual traditions, symbolism, ecology, and our own intuitive experience.
Each gathering carries different medicine. Each animal opens a different doorway. And each ceremony combines spiritual exploration with practices designed to help you actually integrate what you discover.
This isn't about telling you what an animal means for you. It's about creating the conditions for you to discover what its symbolism awakens within you.
There are places within ourselves that can't be reached by thinking harder.
Sometimes we have to become quiet. Sometimes we have to descend. Sometimes we have to allow our eyes to adjust to the dark.
And then — we see what was there all along. The Jaguar is waiting.
