“I’m eager to know what is bubbling up next. Of all the things... ever… your gentle work has been the most powerful. Truly, the most meaningful, transformational work. You taught me how to see.”
All about the new Workshops at Becoming Real
Don’t have time? Here’s the short version:
Now we have workshops on Becoming Real, included in your paid subscription. In this email, I’ll tell you how it works. We are just getting started. It’s not (ever) too late to join.
I’m writing to tell you that I’m bringing ALL of my workshops to Becoming Real.
We’re going to call this project: The School of Magic (for now). We’re going to play inside of two tiers: One for people who love online workshops but don’t need Zoom calls. The other for people who like to Zoom. I’ll tell you all about that in a moment (don’t want to wait? jump to the footnotes1) but first, I want to tell you why I made this decision.
I was guided.
Every time I have asked for guidance about how to package and deliver my work, I’ve received the EXACT same response: Give all of yourself to the work and give all of the work away.Now, Substack’s business model makes it possible.
I have always said: “Everyone who’s called to the work can have the work.” Through the years, I’ve accomplished this by offering partial and full scholarships in all of my programs. Now, because Substack’s business model supports writers, I no longer need to charge hundreds of dollars to meet my overhead. Small payments from a growing community supports me and the vibrant community that always builds around this work. (Note: If you want the workshops but don’t have the $$ to subscribe, just tell me. If you want to be there, I want you there.)
“Your Circle has been (is still) a lifeline when I am feeling down or hopeless and gives me a place to come and connect with others with love and know I am not alone and can just reach out and be held Or give support to someone else.”
~ Charlotte, Massachusetts
“The Circle saved me when I was injured and scared. It spoke of safety and love and protection to me. Thank you for the energy you put into holding this space for us. I will always, always be very grateful for it. More than my words here can say.”
~ Diana, Germany
We are starting slow and small, quiet and experimental. No big launch. No balloons. Just you and me talking about magic and the mysterious realization that everything is alive - and talking with us all the time.
My vision for a School of Magic is, essentially, to make a school of emergence, of generosity and generativity. A space that feels safe to the hidden, sacred, secret parts of the self so they can step forward. So you can see them and build relationship with all of who you are.
A school of permission. A creative portal for supported self-study. Where you study yourself. Where you study by yourself - supported by me and our community.
We’re going to start slowly. One workshop at a time. We will learn this new format together. Written or recorded? Video or Audio? Discussion Threads? Comments? How will those work? Let’s find out together.
So, starting this week, paid subscribers can enjoy the full teachings of the School of Magic curriculum - deep dives into all the things - for just $8 a month.
This is the full curriculum which I’ve built out over the past 13 years in programs like The Soul Caller Training and Soul Caller LAB, The Wheel of Radiance and my year-long Illuminated Journey program.
Grounded in my own 30-year journey as a spiritual teacher and workshop leader; 18 years in private practice as a Soul Coax2
We’ll explore Sacred Biography, Illuminated Experience and Story Alchemy in conversation and community. I know that’s a whole lot of mysterious names but the work isn’t mysterious at all, it’s heart-opening, soul-tuning and life-changing.
Amy, my work with you has brought me so many gifts, revelations, and ultimately more peace. You are my spiritual Home. The things I’ve learned from you and others in the many circles I’ve participated in is staggering - and wonderful. My deepest gratitude to you for all of this and for always accepting me as I am, with love. My long association with the Soul Callers I met through your circles and with you personally is one of the greatest joys of my life. ~ Jan, Indiana
All of my programs include Guided Imagery Meditation, Symbolic Dreamwork and Soul-Coaxing. All begin from the intention of gentleness toward the self, encouragement of what is asking to emerge and the full teachings of The Flow Transmissions, my conversation with The Guides3.
“What a gift to have access to The Flow Materials on a daily basis. thank you. Reading it feels like an alignment, like what i know to be true inside my own heart wakes up, stretches and comes to the front and center of myself, it feels like a confirmation, a rush of hope and joy and beauty. Gracias, Amy.”
~ Carolina, Santo Domingo, DR“Yesterday’s post about calling back the un-blessed choices went right to my heart - or perhaps right to the place where the absence of self-blessing has worn a hole in my heart. In any case, what you and the guides shared was most illuminating, like landing lights on a runway, guiding the weary traveler home after a long time in the air.”
~ Lianna, Seattle
(A Girl Writing, The Pet Goldfinch. (Oil on Canvas by Henrietta Browne. 1870.)
The School of Magic is, above all, a school of generosity toward the self and others. A school of permission. A school for the study of the emergence of the sacred self.
Here’s it will work
A new workshop will be offered in every season.
Every module will be sent to paid subscribers by email.
All discussion will happen in the comments and threads.
If you join after the emails are sent, you will be given all the links needed to jump to the workshops. You will also find the links on the About Page and right in this post, which will be featured on my homepage and updated every time a program comes on line.4

To Barbara and all the others quoted in this email:
You taught ME how to see. How to teach. How to hold the space for this remarkable work. You called it through me - and continue to do so every day.
I’m so excited about this new direction. I can’t wait to meet you in our bright new classroom. Right here on Becoming Real!

Footnotes. Musings. Clarifications.
Two Tiers
Join Becoming Real for $8 a month and get ALL the workshops and community.
To do the work in a circle with me (on Zoom) you can ALSO join School of Magic CIRCLES.
I am more ‘coax’ than coach, more ‘soul caller’ than therapist. The work that I do with clients and students is different. You can read about that here.
The Guides are a group of angels with whom I converse through vivid dreams, illuminated waking experience and direct download, call themselves the Guardians of the Field of Love and Blessing. We first made conscious contact when I was ghost-writing the ‘My Guardian Angel’ column at Woman’s World magazine.
Links will go live when modules are posted.
During a six-week workshop period, modules will be posted every week on Thursday or Friday.
Yes yes yes….. 🙌🏼 💓
