Mystery School
Bring a little bit of magic into your daily life, and learn how to tap into your own intuition and your connection with the Divine. CP takes a holistic approach to healing, and knows that we need soul food in addition to nourishing and healing our body and mind. Our Magic & Mystery classes are a gentle introduction, or sometimes a deep dive, into traditional practices from different sources and beliefs. Each offering is taught with deep love and most importantly respect from practitioners who have years of research and practice in their chosen arts.
Our Mystery School offerings are also available for live streaming! Visit our Virtual Academy page to find out how to join us from afar. Did you miss a class? Many of our Mystery School classes are also available online. Please email us if you’d like to catch up or for a listing of past offerings that are available to purchase.
Tarot, Divination, & Intuition
Our monthly original Mystery School offering is hosted by marvelous magical Misha and features an evening designed to help you tap into your own intuitive gifts, learning to read tarot even as you make friends in our supportive community!
Fri July 26 * Tea & Tarot: Shadowland
Class time: 7-8:30 pm * $20 +++
By popular demand (thanks everyone for asking for this one!) We will explore the whole world of Shadow and what it means - everything from Shadow Cards to Shadow Decks to Shadow Work! Discover the Shadow cards of tarot, and learn how to work with them! Learn about Shadow work, what it means, how to safely work with the Shadow in a way to benefit your mental health and heart, and of course how to work with the cards to do it!
Fri Sept 27: Fly into your Joy with Hummingbird
Class time: 7-8:30 pm * $20 +++
Another in our series of Tea & Tarot: Spirit Guides, Hummingbird is here to help you soar to the heights of the Upper World! You will learn how to welcome in more joy into your life, and gain access to the Upper World for your journeys. On the tarot end of things, you will discover how to work with the cards before the journey to help sketch out a plan to guide your travels, helping you to find what you need to seek.
Fri Oct 18 * Tea & Tarot: Portal to the Past
Class time: 7-8:30 pm * $20 +++
One of my fav classes to share when the veil is thin, we will turn to this time of the year to allow us to connect in with our Ancestors. The lessons of the past help shape us, and we can utilize the tarot to tap into the pathways our ancestors have walked to help guide us for our future. The tarot is a tool - not just for "divination," but it can become a clear gateway to accessing messages from our ancestors. In this class, we will turn to our own personal stories, families, and people to gain insight into our own lives as well as how to work alongside, and learn from, willing guides. We can have one foot in the past, and one in the present, to learn how to navigate what is coming.
Fri Nov 22 * Tea & Tarot: Reversals
Class time: 7-8:30 pm * $20 +++
How do you read the cards when they are upside down? Learn all about the idea of "reversals" in your tarot work, how to incorporate them, read them, and get them to work together too. This is part of my "Tarot Toolbox" series, which are the key elements that every tarot lover should have too!
Fri Dec 20 * Tea & Tarot Duets - Reading Tarot Pairings & Connecting Them Together
Class time: 7-8:30 pm * $20 +++
Level up your tarot reading skills with a brand new "Tarot Toolbox" that focuses on the cards together, how they interact and work together to weave a big picture story. This is a great way to learn the meanings of the cards even more clearly, and to discover how the cards can interact and compliment, or compete, in their meanings or stories.

Reiki Level 1, 2, 3/Master & Master Teacher
Learn the gentle energetic healing art with Reiki Master Teacher Misha! Misha’s intensive Reiki courses are taught in the old Japanese way, over multiple days for each level (rather than all crammed into one or two days for several levels). At each level, Misha provides detailed information, practice exercises, and lots of opportunity for self practice and exploration of the energy so that you will leave the class feeling empowered to practice and share Reiki. At all levels, students receive a full color manual created by Misha, additional handouts, and materials appropriate for each course.
September 2024: Usui Reiki Level 1 * 4 Week Immersion Training
Mon Sept 9, 16, 23 & 30 * 6-8 pm * +++
$250 for the 4-week long Reiki immersion
Misha will be leading a deep dive in, with evenings of study goodness for those who would like to learn, or even re-learn, this gentle healing art.
Your experience will include:
* The what's and why's of Reiki - what is it, how does it work, and what is the science behind it (yes there IS science)
* A special lesson on Qi / Ki featuring our acupuncturist and Ki expert Dr. Brian Nell
* The history of Reiki with special imagery and materials brought back from Mt. Kurama, the sacred mountain upon which Reiki was first received by Dr. Usui
* Multiple attunements, given to Misha by the Spirits of the Mountain, spread out over the course of the immersion to ease you into the feel of the art. This offering of multiple Reiki attunements over time is in keeping with the traditional Japanese manner and one of the reasons we offer our Reiki trainings over several days.
* Meditations and exercises each week to help you expand your ability to feel, receive, and release energy. You will receive these via email after each class to help you study during the week.
* Introduction to self healing techniques, including Kenyoku-Ho, and the ability to share Reiki healing for friends and family including hand positions and "quick fixes" for common issues
* A interdisciplinary approach to learning using all the senses
* Hands on practice time (in person students - virtual students will be given direction over Zoom) - both on yourself and others in the class. And plenty of time for questions about your practices too!
* Tips on unique ways to use Reiki in your life, especially with self care and self healing
* A beautiful full color 20+ page manual, created with love by Misha, and *only* available to Cypress Pillar Reiki Students
* And lots more!
