Welcome, Beautiful Soul!


I invite you to Enter the Dream with me…

Birthing Earth’s Dream is a three month Advanced Training in the Oracular Arts, designed to support those on the path of healer, ritual facilitator and oracle to strengthen their gifts as translators of the divine and deepen into their calling in service to Mother Earth at this time.

Composed of eight ceremonial calls, this training features the guidance and teachings of two beloved guest Elders, Nila Velchoff and Laurence Cole, as well as two “Round Table” divination practice sessions, and revelatory transmissions on the Path of the Oracle.

Our curriculum is focused on Oracular Herstory, healing Oracular and womb related trauma and the further growth and development of your unique divination skills. As a group, our intention seed is to MEND the BLUEPRINT OF THE ORIGINAL MOTHER.

  • Laurence will share his story of Initiation that came later in life, and was inspired by a meaningful encounter with Spirit, that ultimately lead him to his path as Grief Ritual Facilitator

Meet Laurence

Laurence Cole is a song elder and ritualist based in Port Townsend, Washington. An abiding thread throughout his life has been a longing to discover when, where, and how human beings have lived in respectful, sacred, equitable relationship with each other and the rest of Nature, and what arts, ethics, and practices enabled them to do so and pass such attitudes and behaviors on to the coming generations.

Laurence has led singing at gatherings all across the United States and Canada.  After taking the Community Choir Leadership Training in Victoria, B.C., he founded PT Songlines choir in Port Townsend, Washington, and led workshops and circles at Singing Alive (Cascadia, Kauai, Appalachia), Village Fire, Song Village, RiverSong, Singing Rabbit, Network For New Culture, Imagine, Dance Camp Northwest, NW Permaculture Convergence, The Eco Institute, Esalen Institute, and many smaller groups of folks who enjoy sharing his songs with each other.  He teaches workshops in song writing and the art of listening, songs for climate change and earth stewardship, songs about minding our natural manners, and often facilitates communal grief tending gatherings in which song is vital to building and sustaining the container to hold each other well. 

Laurence has also been co-facilitating and offering community grief tending gatherings for over ten years.  His primary teachers and influences have been Sobonfu and Malidoma Somé, Angeles Arrien, Michael Meade, James Hillman, Francis Weller, Joanna Macy, and Martín Prechtel.  He is an advocate for this work not only for the ways it can bring release and healing for individuals, but also for the ways it can enable a renewed sense of respectful connection and belonging for groups of folks working together for restoration of mutually flourishing community for all our relations,  both human and beyond.

hear from Nila:

“My passion in life is working with creative, introspective people and seeing them begin to flourish and fulfill their dreams. Or simply to find a new sense of peace with themselves.

As an energy medicine practitioner, channeler, coach, and mentor, I now use my training and life experience to provide foundations for becoming wide awake while being effective in the world. I see it as a union of Spirit and Earth, Soul and Body.

I love to support people in translating their genius, passion, and abilities into the world, living in alignment with their purpose, and leading fulfilling lives.

In 2013, I experienced my most life altering loss – the death of my only child, Seth Orion Newby. He was and is my greatest teacher.

A Message from Aislinn

As humans with hearts that care, together we face the immensity that is our shared collective grief around the current state of the world.

We see the harm that has been caused and is carried on by colonial forces, and the way it effects our sacred ecology. This includes not only the ecology of the Natural World, meaning the enviroments around us and all they contain, but also the ecology of what is most sacred to us as people- our relationships.

As Oracles, Healers, and translators of the divine, caretaking the ecology of our relationships to beings in both this world and the other must be our primary focus. How we care for ourselves is a reflection of how we care for our communities. And how we care for our communities is a reflection of how we care for ourselves.


If one side of the scale is lacking, this is life asking us to look deeper.

This is life asking us to peer within the inner well, and allow truth to reveal all layers of Ancestral woundings, internalized shame, anger and grief that may be preventing us from engaging inside of/becoming a vital part of a growing community that is ready to receive our gifts and help us flourish.

My guides, the Kontomblé, show how this collective grief is a natural part of the “birthing contractions” of Mother Earth, as she is preparing to birth her new expression into being.

Inside Birthing Earth’s Dream, we carry the shared vision and prayer to respond to our sacred calling as Healers and Oracles, to assist Mother Earth’s birthing,


We at times tirelessly, at times joyously, at time tearfully, and at times full of a holy kind of resilience (that carries it’s own worlds upon worlds of wisdom…) call forth this Dream, readying ourselves for the unveiling and recreation of her Ancient/Future form into something beautiful, something sustainable, something live-able, something tangible, something that allows the future generations and children of the earth to truly thrive.

I invite you to dream this holy dream into being with me…

 
 

In sweet devotion, I pour milk and honey at the feet of our Otherworldy allies who will be holding us through this journey.


I honor the serpent and the rose, the starlight circle of Grandmothers, the Awakening inner-earth Dragons and their Ancestors of the Celestial Song and Tongue, the Violet Hearted Ones Old and New, Grandmother Amanita, our Sasquatch relatives and their Golden Heart frequency, our Divine Mother Sophia, the way of the Magdalene, the Butterfly of Grief and her Sacred Dreaming Wings, the Holy Queen Bee and her Priestesses, the grandmothers and grandfathers of the deep- the whales, the Oracles who came before us and witnessed the dis-memberment of our Mother, the ones who will come after us and experience her divine resurrection.

And as always, I offer my laughter, my voice and my tears to the Ancestors, to the Kontomblé who have been my beloved mentors and teachers, and deep bows and clinks of tea cups and ringing of bells to the little people of many nations who are their friends and relatives.

In remembrance, the prayer of my life is a song sung in devotion to the children, and the heart of the child with in us all!

 

“the Re-surgence of the Oracle/
is a special kind of
surge-ry”

About the Kontomblé +
Group Ceremony

The Kontomblé are the little people of the Dagara Tribe in Burkina Faso. Their culture and ways were brought to the West by Elder Malidoma Somé. The Little People are known by many names across many cultures. Recognized as leprechauns, fairies, gnomes, menehune, and more- their medicine and it’s message is universal in nature. They are the original stewards of the earth, and bringers of culture to humanity! They have always been a part of this world, and now, more than ever- they are wanting to reconnect with humanity to guide us through the transformational times we are in.

Often, the Kontomblé speak on behalf of all nations of little people. Messages from these relatives often come through in the form of poetry, playful riddles, and in the magic of 3’s. Their mother tongue is a language as old as earth, and it brings healing to both our body and spirit.

In a Group ceremony, the Kontomblé bring messages for the group as a whole and then receive 3 questions from the group at the end of their transmission. They also offer healings and activations, utilizing song and elemental ritual. I never know what they are going to say ahead of time, although sometimes they may give me insight into a ritual or particular offering that they are requesting from the group ahead of time, required for the energetic processes that will unfold, in which case you will be given ample notice to prepare!

…Still Curious?

 

“One of the most potent oracular mentorship spaces ever. Aislinn’s gifts and impeccable accompaniment have been fundamental for me.”

- Almunis O., Maestra, Healer, Musician

 

“Big changes, big, big changes...

I’m still in amazement over yesterday’s session. I literally can feel that what the Spirits were working on has been removed. I feel a new sense of clarity and everything that you were telling me I could visualize and get an image of the information. It was such a confirmation of our work together. Thank you again for facilitating and being a conduit for such deep healing work. I’m still laughing at what the Kontomblé had to say. They were spot on, and addressed everything I had been thinking and asking about for guidance. I love their sense of humor.”

— Sally A.

 

“The Kontomblé divination I received from Aislinn was easily the most profound, magical and healing reading I have ever experienced. Which is saying something because I have gotten a lot…

What makes it so profound is that she first channels the Kontomblé in their language before translating to English and speaking in poetic rhyme. When she was speaking their language, I felt my DNA completely receive an upgrade. My brain and crown felt deeply activated and elevated. It took me into a trance like state of both tears and laughter. The Kontomblé feel like family and Aislinn an ancient priestess soul sister. The combination is perfection. The messages that came through confirmed the next steps on my path and have been powerful beyond words. I have been highly recommending her sessions to all my dearest friends!”

— Dakota C.

 

“Working with Aislinn on my healer’s journey has been profoundly supportive in navigating the territory of Truth, Awareness, and Sovereignty on my path. Her medicine is so clear and beautiful and deeply resonates like kin to me.


I feel like the few months I’ve been supported by her, individually and within the container of this mentorship, I’ve moved mountains within and without. And so it’s with a deep bow to Aislinn and all her allies that I offer my thanks for her beautiful work in this world.”

— Aerina K.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Absolutely not, all that is required is that you feel a resonance in your bones and a hum in your heart!

    This apprenticeship welcomes those who have practiced the Oracular arts and divination for a long while, those who do it for their profession, those who have done it within the family or just for themselves or close friends, and those who may consider themselves beginners and feel a calling to explore this road further.

    This course is also for healing facilitators, leaders, and coaches who want to develop their skills as Oracles and translators of the divine.

  • Replays to all recordings will be made available within 24-48 hours and when approached with presence and reverence, hold the same amount of potency + effectiveness as the live calls.

    Often, the energy medicine portion will continue to do it’s work on you even for a 2nd or 3rd listening.

    If you cannot make a live call rest assured knowing that you can send me any questions you have in an email beforehand and I will address them on the call.

    To make the most out of the “village” experience, it is recommended that you plan on attending the majority of the calls live.

  • This course is an apprenticeship in the Oracular arts. Inside this course folks from all backgrounds, and carriers of all lineages are welcomed. We will not be focused on a particular form of divination, but rather on the form that wishes to be birthed (or honed and sharpened) uniquely through you. As a teacher my background is rooted in my European Ancestry (Tuatha de danaan/Celtic, Slavic, German, Dutch, Turkish, Hungarian + Basque), the Dagara (West African) lineage I carry, and the Red Road which I have been walking for the past 8 years with my partner. As one who carries an altar I have received many teachings on how to walk with multiple lineages in a way that is honoring and brings balance to the whole. It is a process lifetimes in the making, as it is likely for you too, and I have no doubt that this lifetime still has deep learning in store for me. It is with humility and deep thanks that I offer up this wisdom to our container, which is a cauldron where many voices, gifts and skills are brewed.

  • Yes, a reserved number of Partial Scholarships are available for those in need of financial assistance. These are first come, first serve, and prioritized for People of the Global Majority. See the Registration section for more details.

  • Due to the nature of online courses and replays being made available, this course is non-refundable and payment plans cannot be cancelled once initiated.

  • As an Initiated Diviner in the Dagara lineage, I have permission from my lineage elders and my guides, the Kontomblé, to offer this medicine.

    As woman of primarily European descent, I consider it an incredible honor to be able to carry this lineage forward, and recognize my privilege. I also want to acknowledge how this may be perceived as appropriation to those unfamiliar with how the permissions within the lineage operate. As your facilitator, I make it a priority to do my best to honor, acknowledge and give back to all of the indigenous lineage streams that have influenced my path, including those that resonate and come from my own bloodlines, and remain in integrity with them.
