Spirit Guide & Ancestral Channeling Activation Group Program

Program Overview

This offering helps participants experience direct connection with their spirit guides - ancestors, non-relatives, multidimensional guides - including seeing, hearing, feeling, receiving messages and support from their guides first-hand. Through a combination of individual healing sessions, guided group experiential sessions, integration practices, and educational components, participants receive a spirit channeling activation to open their channel, gain clarity on who their guides are, clear any blocks and challenges to spirit guide connection that are present, and learn to cultivate a consistent relationship with their spirit guides beyond sessions, as well as develop foundational intuitive and channeling skills. For some, the work also includes healing with ancestors who have transitioned, finding peace with unresolved grief or pain, and deepening understanding of the continuation of life beyond the physical. This work is meant to support people in becoming their own channel, feel empowered and trusting that they can do so, and feel supported in the process.

The client experiences shared throughout this page reflect the wide range of ways this work can unfold within and beyond sessions, and come from previous one-on-one program work; this group version builds upon the same core processes while expanding the container to not only include one-to-one work but also shared learning, group activities and community support. No prior experience with spirit guides or channeling necessary to participate in this program - it’s designed to help people who never have but feel the desire to.

*Upcoming Virtual Cohort Begins March 21, 2026 - Applications are currently being accepted.

*In-Person Cohorts will be hosted in California and New York in 2026 - with details and dates announced soon.

Client Experience of Direct In-Session Connection with Spirit Guides, Receiving Answers & Feeling Guide’s Presence

“During my healing sessions with Selome, I was able to heal with and open up to connections with various guides and ancestors. During one of my sessions I was experiencing a lot of energy moving and releasing from my body. I began thinking about my dad and I was hearing a voice. I asked the voice, is this my dad, and it said yes. I got really emotional and felt him all around me. I received clear information about why he passed away in the way he did, something I had been specifically seeking for a long time. He told me the reason directly. Then I heard a voice say, “There is a cry buried deep deep inside of you, and until you let that cry out, you won't be able to find your voice,” and I just started crying deeply. Then my great great grandfather came to me and told me a lot of details about our family lineage that I didn’t know about. And he told me the root of anger in our lineage. I was asking very specific questions and was receiving very specific answers. At some point, I began feeling like I was floating on a wave in the ocean and I had the realization that it was my ancestors all supporting me. I asked them about my path and they said I am to do wonders. In another session I felt at one point like I was transcending into the spirit realm. I remember feeling something being pulled from my crown; I started to feel like it was the part I was told was me being pulled out. It was very powerful and revealing. I also felt several hands on me and knew that it was my guides, and I felt my energy go “vroom”.”

Program Overview

This immersive group offering is designed for individuals who feel called to deepen their direct relationship with the spirit realm and receive clear embodied connection with their spirit guides, ancestors and higher self.

This work is for those who want to:

  • Experience direct communication, presence, support, and guidance from their guides (seeing, hearing, feeling, and receiving messages from their guides firsthand)

  • Gain clarity on who their specific spirit guides are including ancestors, non-relatives, and/or multidimensional beings

  • Clear energetic, emotional, spiritual, subconscious or ancestral blocks - including fears, skepticism, conditioning, grief, pain, trauma, confusion or disbelief that have impeded connection

  • Learn how to cultivate an ongoing and grounded relationship with their guides & higher self in daily life, and learn their unique ways of connecting

  • Grow an awareness and comfort in the continuation of life after the physical journey ends and greater understanding, information, trust, confidence, and rootedness in their relationship to the spirit realm

  • Heal unresolved wounds, resentment, pain or grief related to loved ones who have transitioned and receive peace, clarity, comfort and confirmation

  • Learn and explore the depths, nuances and variations in spirit guide connection and communication

  • Be in community with people who have similar intentions, share experiences, feel seen and normalize spirit connection

Through a sacred, supportive and trauma- informed container, participants engage in guided group sessions, individual healing sessions and integration practices that activate their personal connection to the spirit realm and empower them to become their own channel, while also understanding their relationship to their guides. Rather than relying on another person to access or interpret spiritual information, this work supports participants in having their own direct experiences and developing foundational intuitive and channeling skills.

Once blocks are cleared, connection and healing is activated during sessions, participants learn how to sustain a personal relationship with their guides through actions and specific practices unique to them - integrating guidance, support and presence into everyday life.

As the client experiences shared throughout this page reflect, each person’s journey is unique. Participants arrive with different blocks, stories, needs, and intentions and the work meets each individual where they are while also highlighting shared themes and common experiences along the path. Many participants experience clear, direct connection during this program; for others, aspects of the work continue to deepen with additional time, integration, or ongoing support beyond the container.

Client Experience of Receiving Clarity of Who Guide Is, Ongoing Spirit Connection After Sessions, and Healing With An Ancestor

“I reached out to Selome because I was feeling called to do ancestral connection, discover who my guides are, develop connection with a spirit guide and heal the difficult connection with my father who had passed.     

When we started the spirit guide who came through in my sessions pretty quickly was my maternal grandmother. What ended up happening was this connection to her, feeling her presence with me, hearing messages from her during sessions and outside of sessions, noticing her sending me signs, and just feeling a connection to something higher than myself.

I also see her in my dreams now, and see and feel her when I partake in my practices like yoga or meditation. I was shocked at how straightforward it was for me to develop this connection with her!  I remember in one of the sessions I heard her say “I’m looking for a place to land” and we discovered that was her way of telling me to create an altar so we can connect there. Selome helped me create an altar and different practices that resonated for me so I could maintain the connection with my grandmother. I also asked my grandmother for another sign that she was watching over me. And she started sending me messages in the form of birds, like anytime I was struggling, a bird would fly into my line of vision. I felt her energy communicating, “I am watching”. And I felt suddenly just stronger, emboldened, connected.

There were times where I felt my grandmother orchestrating things too. I noticed a palpable shift in my relationship with my mom, where she would reach out to me and it would feel very different. It felt like she was genuinely trying to hear me. There was a lot of healing there and I know that this work and my grandmother had something to do with it.”

“And then I thought, since my grandmother had transitioned into being a spirit guide, maybe my dad would be the same for me. And in working with Selome, I realized I don't have to connect with the spirit of my father in the same way but that he could be a healing point, and not necessarily a spirit guide. And during our sessions I was able to let go of a lot of the resentment, anger, frustration, hatred that I felt towards him. And it felt lighter, I felt like I wasn't energetically carrying all of those hurt feelings from childhood anymore, and was able to let him be in his own humanity as a spirit and as somebody who has transitioned. And it felt powerful to forge this kind of connection with him that was more of a connection through forgiveness.”

What This Offering Includes

Client Experience Connecting with Spirit Guides and Higher Self, Experiencing Protection, and Gaining a Deeper Understanding of The Cycle of Life

“The work that I have done with Selome has been life-changing, to say the least. After experiencing a very hard year I knew I needed a deeper dive into a much needed healing process that traditional therapy does not touch. Through Selome’s guidance and energy work, I was able to hit a deeper level of healing and spiritual awareness that allowed me to connect more with my ancestors, spirit guides and higher self. One of the most precious gifts from this work has been connecting with loved ones that have transitioned. I was able to understand the higher purpose, for them to move to the next realm, as well as feel closer to them than ever before. I have gained forever guides and feel safe and protected because of this. They speak to me often now and I can feel their presence with me every day. I felt them in each of our energy sessions and they showed me many things, and reassured me around things I’d been struggling with. They would say “we got you” and remind me I’m never alone. This work helped me find myself as well as gain a stronger spiritual connection and routine. I feel more connected than ever before, as I am closer to my guides and higher self. While there may be some pain of the physical being no longer existing, the connection that I have gained with their presence in a higher, spiritual form is far greater. Selome teaches you the tools to be independent through energy and spiritual work. With true initiative, you leave this journey with clear understanding and trust in your higher self. You learn to trust your intuition, ancestors and spirit guides. You learn to look within, because the answers have always been there.

 A specific example I can share was connecting with a close friend who transitioned, which was fast and unexpected and left me in a very dark place. Before working with Selome I was afraid that I wasn’t going to be able to connect with him. From our work I learned that grief was impacting my ability to connect. After our 2nd or 3rd session, I was able to connect with him and build trust. I could see and hear him talking to me clearly in the sessions. I am happy to say that he is now one of my spirit guides constantly with me!

The strong spiritual connection I have received through this work is truly amazing. All of my decisions, even simple, everyday ones, just shows the divine power that is leading me now. I remember that in one of my sessions, I felt my spirit guides more than ever. Selome and I talked about how we could both feel how protected I am during one of the sessions. As I was walking home and crossing the street, my guides told me to turn around. In a blink of an eye, a car was barreling down the street and I had to run out the way in the opposite direction. If I did not turn around when I did, I would have gotten hit. I knew it was divine protection and I was so grateful for my guides. I thanked them throughout the night.”

Client Experiences of Connecting with Non-Relative Multidimensional Guides

“I came to Selome to connect with my spirit guides because I haven’t been able to connect with them and I had been wanting to for a long time. During our sessions I was able to fully connect and not just that, but I got such clear and amazing communication from a specific guide. Many amazing things were revealed to me. I saw a guide very clearly and heard him say, “I’ve been here all along” and he told me very specific things about myself and my lineage. He was dancing and had very happy energy. I also had this feeling that someone was putting a blanket around me. Her energetic work did wonders on me. I am so grateful!!”

Read Intended Outcomes

“One of the intentions I set for my healing journey was to open myself up to spiritual guidance and embrace unseen dimensions. These sessions with Selome helped me release skepticism and clear subconscious beliefs around the spirit world, and call in clarity and connection with my spirit guides. And now I feel their presence tangibly through dreams, signs, and intuitive messages, and I can sense their presence with me! I learned how to be open to the different ways they are trying to connect with me and to ask them for clarity when I need to. This connection has become an integral part of my life and I feel supported by their guidance daily.”

Client Experiences of Releasing Skepticism, Opening up to Spirit & Receiving Tangible Confirmation of Connection

During one session, a client (who was previously blocked from connecting with guides) shared that they felt emotional and started crying, feeling a lot of energy opening in their heart. They then felt their head expanding, and their heart chakra melting open, and felt a sense of expansion in their heart. In that moment, their family dog who had recently transitioned came through, which took them by surprise and brought more tears. They saw the dog moving into the spirit world, along with many others they had known who had passed, including patients they had cared for. They described feeling lighter in both heart and spirit where they used to feel a heaviness in their heart around loved ones in the spirit realm. In the session they said they felt more open and more at peace with the spiritual journey. They expressed suddenly feeling the spirits around them and knew the spirit realm was real and present. Having been skeptical about such connections in the past, this direct experience shifted their perspective.

Client Experience with Healing Grief and Guilt, Confirmation Their Loved One is Ok & Connecting Beyond Sessions

“During one of the energy healing sessions, my father came through with a message that was very comforting. He told me what happened after he passed. I heard him say “When you guys are on earth, mourning our loss, you’re wearing black. But on this side, when we cross over and are welcomed, we’re all wearing white, and we’re happy. When we get here, it’s really nice, bright, and light. He reassured me that the journey to the other side is beautiful and full of joy, even though the process of letting go can feel scary and hard. He told me that the ending is hard because we’re afraid to let go, that it’s scary and hard, that’s why we cry. This message gave me a new perspective on grief and helped me feel more at peace with his passing. Knowing that he was happy, surrounded by light, and in a place of joy on the other side eased so much of the heaviness I had been carrying. It was incredibly comforting to know that he was okay, and it has been a profound step in my healing process.

In another session I connected with my father’s energy and was also able to release some guilt connected to him. In the session I heard him say he was proud of me and grateful for everything I had done for him in his final days. This was deeply healing, because I had been holding onto guilt for not doing enough. The sessions helped me release this weight and find peace in my relationship with his memory!

And I’ve continued to connect with my dad, feel his presence and communicate with him in a way that’s been comforting and healing. He talks to me often. It’s been beautiful to witness him now, after his transition, as a protector and caretaker for me. I feel his protection in so many magical ways. Despite the pain of his final days, I came to realize that his journey was not just the suffering I witnessed but part of a larger, more beautiful story. I understood that his life didn’t end there, and he is still with me and my family, in new and beautiful ways as spirit. This work also helped me release trauma I carried, particularly around the medical system & end-of-life care.”

Client Experience: Working with Multidimensional and Ascended Master Guides

One client came into the work seeking clarity around who their spirit guides were and how to receive clearer communication and guidance from them. Over time, they began to experience multiple distinct guides coming through clearly and consistently. Early in the work, their child self emerged as a guide during sessions and continued to show up outside of sessions, offering reassurance, guidance, and insight in daily life.

As the work progressed, additional guides began communicating clearly, including an ascended master-type guide whose presence was strongly felt during a session. Afterward, the client independently asked who this guide was and received specific information, including their name and appearance. From that point on, this guide became an ongoing source of communication and support. The client also began perceiving multidimensional and non-human guides who accompanied and guided them. Through the use of tools and practices offered in the work, the client learned to recognize, trust, and engage with their guides independently.

After beginning to experience clear contact with guides, there were moments when things went quiet, and another layer of doubt/disbelief began to surface. As more beings and energies came through, their mind wondered: “Am I making this up? Is this my imagination? Why me? What makes you think you’re really talking to God or spirit? What makes you special? Who am I to have these gifts?” We recognized this as the ego and old self-doubt coming forward, the same part of them that had struggled for years to believe in their own greatness and fully step into their potential. Growing up in a culture of skepticism had taught them to doubt experiences like this, and so the more profound and magical the encounters became, the more that inner voice tried to diminish them. Part of the work, then, became learning to integrate and metabolize these experiences into their nervous system and identity, accepting that this connection to spirit was not something fleeting or imagined, but something that was now genuinely part of their life.
