Take a deep dive into the loving guidance and profound
support available to you for healing you and your world!
We know that you aspire to acknowledge, accept and be more confident about the fact that you have always perceived things differently than those around you.
You want to be clear that the way that you receive information about people, places and situations are not random, but a toolkit you were born with for a reason. You want to be received and respected for the way your different insights inform and help you to hold the larger picture in these times of unprecedented social and environmental turbulence.
You envision a more emboldened existence, where you feel safe and valued for living openly with your gifts to better the lives of those that you love and be of service.
The problem is you may have been repeatedly teased, ridiculed, or even vilified for your strong feelings, senses, and premonitions that others did not experience. You may have felt like an outsider in your own family, at work, and even with your friends. In response to that, you may have repressed, or attempted to shut the door completely on your unique sensitivities–trying in vain to “fit in.”
In not being received, you never learned that your “unique” sensitivities are actually a natural expression of our human capacity to perceive beyond our everyday “consensus reality” into the energetic and spiritual realms that shape All That Is.
You also may be one who is just beginning to feel new ways of perceiving starting to arise inside of you. In either case, you are part of a growing group of souls who came into form to change the dominant paradigm.
Your “clairsenses” are part of the extraordinary capacities every human was meant to express! And that is only one of the reasons why you deserve to have the support to open even more of who you are. As a vanguard of transformation, we want you to know that expressing yourself fully is a powerful key to our collective stepping into the next phase of our evolution. Your being matters!
We designed this course to support you to be safe, clear, and able to use your gifts to their fullness. We want to support you to heal the old adaptations you had to use to survive, gain spiritual allies, have strong boundaries, and fully emerge to thrive in your fullness. You deserve to be ALL of who you are!
Imagine living a life where you don’t have to hide or shut down. Having a life where you’re able to use the gifts that you have and open those that you have yet to awaken. Your innate abilities are really a superpower. It is time to accept the opportunity to be your full, magnificent self.
Through this course you will:
- Discover sources of consistent, loving support
- Boost your natural confidence and strengthen your inner core
- Become more genuinely self-assured and secure
- Heighten your natural intuition
- Become part of a community of support and inspire each other
...and so much more!
This course will revitalize and “fire up” your spirit so you can embody a more dynamic, emboldened YOU who takes new action in your world!
Our Personal Messages and Transformative Journeys:
My birth story was that my mother canceled the order, and I came anyway! My soul knew I needed to be in the world at this time of great change with its opportunities to support the evolution of new, more enlightened ways of being human.
I arrived as a person whose primary way of receiving information is through feelings (clairsentience). At an early age, I realized that my way of being would not work in my family. At age three, I switched my way of processing from feeling to attempting to understand the world by thinking things out. While this adaptation helped me to be better accepted by others, I became disconnected from my innate way of being.
Luckily, I had an “imaginary friend” who I later realized was my first spirit guide. She supported me to stay connected to Source, that I call All That Is, even as I experienced my early traumas.
At age 18, I went to seminary and became a pastor of rural churches in Maine. Later still, I became a clinical social worker and developed a relationship with another spirit guide. I have delved into many spiritual traditions and absorbed insights from the indigenous shamans with whom I have been blessed to study.
Through the years, first as a pastor, then as a social worker and finally as a shamanic practitioner, I have listened to thousands of stories from people of all ages who chose as a soul to embody and share their wisdom. I can relate from personal experience what it is like to recognize that we have different ways of perceiving that aren’t shared by those who we depended upon for acceptance and support. We each must find our own way to live with our special uniqueness. Unveiling the sources and undeniable benefits of my spiritual/energetic sensitivity continues to be a journey of surprises and profound gratitude. As multidimensional beings we are fully capable of shifting into other dimensions for guidance and healing. It has taken me many years to accept that I am here to assist others who have innate spiritual and energetic sensitivities to recognize that it is a precious gift. We are all needed now.
Allowing your full spiritual/energetic sensitivity to blossom is a critical part of the transformation needed in human beings and their relationships with others and the Earth. The obstacles we faced, even as early as in the womb, may have damaged our confidence. However, I’m passionate about sharing the resources that can support you to heal and embrace your magnificence! From that more expansive space, you will more easily share your soul’s gifts. Your talents and vision are an important part of manifesting a world that is sustainable, maintaining harmony, and filled with joy.

Exploring Our Multidimensional Selves: A Shamanic Perspective
Ebook authored by Allie Knowlton, MSW, LCSW, DCSW
"This book is about making a paradigm shift. While the intention is to support all of us to define ourselves and our reality differently it began as a personal spiritual journey. The non-physical spirit teachers I work with reminded me that, before coming into my present lifetime, I had made a soul agreement to participate in an exploration. This exploration has evolved over seventy years of my life, allowing me to develop relationships with beings in other dimensions who I choose to call “our multidimensional neighbors" - Allie Knowlton
"Like the sailors of the fifteenth century, today’s explorers need to be willing to travel beyond the map. To do this we need to gather our metaphoric compasses and sextants then develop our skills, faith, and courage to take us the rest of the way" - Evelyn Rysdyk from the Foreword
Your Launch Pad for Expansion!
Video discussion with Evelyn and Allie
In this video dialog filled with practical tips, Allie and Evelyn discuss that grounding is intrinsically connected to how far you expand your awareness into other realms and that doing so allows for more clarity from the messages your sensitivities give you. They also discuss that grounding supports discernment of the energies around you, protects you from energetic intrusions, keeps your body well, and cultivates more empowerment in your daily life!
