Discover the World Tree
A six week online experiential journey to connect with your own Tree of Life
What if you could develop a sacred relationship with a tree where you live, that can take you into other worlds and help you bring back gifts from the past and wisdom from the future?
Your tree, your world, your journey.
The World Tree appears in many traditions and mythologies. You may already know Yggdrasil, the great Norse tree connecting the different realms, or the Bodhi tree, beneath which Siddhartha is said to have awakened. But this course isn’t about adopting someone else’s mythology. It’s about discovering your own. Together, we’ll explore the World Tree as a bridge between worlds while giving you the opportunity to create a sacred relationship with a tree that physically grows in the landscape around you. A tree you can touch. A tree you can nurture with offerings and devotion. A tree that anchors your spiritual practice and acts as a doorway into deeper exploration. A tree that can become a temple of light. Through this relationship, you may begin to experience the tree not simply as part of the landscape, but as a teacher, guide and unique presence.
Six guided modules to explore new realms.
- Discover a deeper and more intimate relationship with the trees around you
- Experience a greater sense of connection and belonging
- Enjoy innate practices involving ritual, prayer, offerings and devotion
- Receive insights and guidance from your own inner landscape
- Explore ancestral wisdom, helping spirits, animal and plant allies
- Take on fresh perspectives on your past, present and future
- Soak up a renewed sense of wonder, vitality and connection to the more-than-human world
Your Tree of Life can remain a point of connection and support long after the course has finished.

A Six week journey of live teaching with recordings.
Week 1: Meeting the World Tree
We’ll begin by exploring the ancient symbolism of the World Tree or Axis Mundi, the sacred centre or meeting place between worlds.
You’ll discover how the World Tree can be used as a map for shamanic journeying and explore the different realms held within its roots, trunk and branches.
Most importantly, you’ll be guided to find a tree in the physical world that you feel drawn to work with.
Your first step: finding your World Tree.
Week 2: Connection and Relationship
This week, we move from simply finding your tree to building a relationship with it.
Through ritual, prayer and offerings, you’ll begin to establish a regular practice of connection.
You’ll also meet your tree in meditation and explore its story and other blessings it may have to share with you.
The intention is to begin anchoring your World Tree as a source of support, guidance and connection.
Your tree becomes an ally, not just a symbol.
Week 3: Getting rooted, diving into the lower world.
Week 4: Grounding into the present
Having explored the roots, we’ll return to the sacred centre, the trunk of your World Tree. Here is the place of presence, renewed awareness, grounding and building strong foundations. We’ll explore what supports you now and invite guidance for your path ahead. Root into the present and strengthen your foundations.
Week 5: Reaching into the Upper World
In this module, climbing the branches of your World Tree, you’ll journey into the Upper World, opening towards the cosmos, the divine and the realms of higher wisdom. With your tree as your guide, you’ll explore this landscape and invite insight, inspiration and energy to support the life you’re creating. By inviting in a higher perspective you will increase the flow of energy from the upper realms to help you live with increased alignment and purpose. Reach for the heavens and invite in the divine.
Week 6: Integration, ceremony and celebration.
Our final week is about bringing everything together to anchor, integrate and celebrate the gifts and the blessings that have been shared with you through the Axis Mundi. You will honour your tree with a ceremony and open to insight about how this connection can continue to grow. This isn’t about completing a six-week course, it’s about creating a sacred link between this reality and the wider worlds. It’s about developing a relationship with a guide that can nurture you for years to come. Your tree can remain a living temple, a place of connection and a doorway into deeper relationship with yourself, your ancestors and the wider cosmos.
Find your tree and connect.
Journey between worlds and explore new possibilities!
Who is it for?
Come if you love trees. Come if you’re curious about shamanism or the unseen dimensions of life. Come if you’re longing to feel more rooted, connected and alive. Come if you welcome a spiritual practice that is connected to the land and the green world. And come if you feel called to explore the possibility that a tree might have something to teach you.
No previous experience is needed.
No experience with shamanism or journeying necessary. Every practice will be gently and clearly guided, making this suitable for beginners. If you’ve already explored shamanic journeying, meditation or nature-based spiritual practices, you’ll have the opportunity to deepen your experience and explore the World Tree from a new perspective.
