Welcome to the Temple School
A Sacred Space for Transformation, Connection, and Growth
The Spirit of Bones: Foundational Course in Bone Reading
A twelve-week journey into ancestral remembering, guided by the bones,
the body, and the breath of the wild world.
Bone reading is not something you “learn” it’s something you reawaken. In this course, we don’t just place objects in a bowl and name their meaning. We court the spirits, shape sacred space, enter altered states, and build a living dialogue with the unseen.
This is a soul craft, a sacred act, a remembering of the oracular ways that
once bound us to land, lineage, and mystery.
You’ll be guided to create your own bone set - piece by piece - not from a kit,
but from the raw materials of your own story, memory, and belonging.

Who is This For
Not everyone will hear the bones. Not everyone is meant to.
This is a sacred apprenticeship
For those who feel the echo of the old ways in their body,
who sense something ancient moving through their hands,
who long for a path that is not performative, but participatory.
For those who walk with reverence, even if they do not yet know the steps.
This circle is for:
Soul-led space holders, intuitives, therapists,
and healers ready to deepen their oracular fluency
⸻
Cultural bridge-walkers who honour the land they
walk and the lineage they carry
⸻
Those who want to craft a practice rooted
in ancestry, presence, and devotion
⸻
People seeking to remember how to speak with Spirit
⸻
The ones who know there’s more to to life than the
'ordinary' world we were taught to belong to
⸻
You don’t need to be an expert.
But you do need to be willing to be remade.
⸻
Spirit of Bones is not content. It’s ceremony.
You won’t download a PDF and be done with it. You’ll be initiated.
There is rhythm. There is pace. There is presence.
You will be witnessed. You will listen. You will change.
We gather as a small circle.
Intentionally. Slowly.
Because this work demands spaciousness, depth, and honour.
Not hustle. Not hurry. Not spectacle.
⸻
Applications + Waitlist
This is not open enrolment.
The bones call who they call.
If you are hearing them, place your name on the waitlist.
When applications open, you’ll be the first to know.
LINEAGE AND ETHICS STATEMENT
These teachings walk the edges of memory, the bones of the Earth and the spaces between worlds.
I do not teach from a closed lineage nor do I claim traditions that are not mine.
I was initiated into the path of bone reading by a Sangoma—an African healer—who received Ancestral guidance to initiate me and granted her full permission. I do not call myself a Sangoma nor do I represent her lineage. But I honour her and the line that called me through her.
My work is also shaped by the land I now live on—Boodja, the unceded lands of the Noongar people. The bones I use in my divination practice, such as kangaroo and snake, have been offered by the land and by Spirit. I move carefully with them. I do not own them. I am in relationship with them.
I am a white woman born in the UK and raised in Western systems, now living in a country whose true custodians have faced dispossession, violence and attempted erasure.
As such, I walk with the knowledge that I am both a seeker and a settler. I am constantly unlearning colonised ways of thinking, being and speaking and reweaving a deeper, older connection to Earth, Ancestry and Spirit.
I carry bloodlines rooted in the Celtic lands of Ireland, the ancient landscapes of Britain and the mythic threads of the Nordic peoples. These Ancestral lineages whisper through my bones and shape how I listen, how I walk and how I teach. I do not recreate or reconstruct specific traditions from these lines but I honour their presence in my body and in my dreaming.
This immersion is an offering born of listening, guidance and devotion.
My intention is to help others awaken their human potential, remember their animist selves and reclaim sacred relationships with land, body, Spirit and bone.
You are encouraged to explore your own ancestral pathways, deepen your accountability to land and people and enter into this container not as a consumer but as a student of the sacred.
With love and reverence
