Welcome to Sacred Oak Academy
The Home of Guided Energy Medicine™
Universal Shamanism is an Ancient Path to Bring the Planet—and the Ones We Serve—Back into Balance.
At The Sacred Oak Academy, we are not learning to become “Shamans.” In many circles, the word “Shaman” has become a metonym for all spiritual religious leaders and healers within indigenous cultures.
We come in great reverence here to all indigenous shamanic lineages.
What we teach here at The Sacred Oak Academy is Universal Shamanism, through a lineage called Guided Energy MedicineTM.
Universal Shamanism is not owned by any culture, tradition or time. One could view Universal Shamanism as the unified spiritual wisdom inherent to all humans. As all ancient spiritual practices are rooted in connection to nature, shamanism is the method by which we return to the natural healing rhythms of creation. By extension we are bringing healing to ourselves, our communities and the planet.
At its core essence, Universal Shamanism is about bringing light to the darkness. The word “Shaman” is a Siberian word that means “one who sees in the dark,” or “Spiritual Healer.”
Shamanism reconnects us back to our true nature, the natural world, and the Source of all Creation. It’s an initiation into the unseen world whereby we realign all parts of ourselves with Source.
Shamanism is not something to be studied and grasped through the mind – it is to Instead experience through direct revelation. And yes—that’s something all people are born to do. We all have shamanic gifts and abilities, and we all have shamanism in our ancestral lineages.
This path is open to those from all religions, genders, faiths, cultures, backgrounds and walks of life, if you come with sincerity in your heart.
What Is Guided Energy Medicine™?
Guided Energy Medicine™ is a lineage of quantum transformational healing and spiritual counseling that harnesses a powerful frequency that we believe offers physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. This is an incredibly transformative path of awakening.
The shamanic energy work we practice works within the energy field that surrounds our body and holds the imprints, traumas, programming and conditioning of our past, and of our ancestral timelines. From this place, we’re able to dismantle the root cause of what is keeping us stuck and unable to move forward in our lives.
Students at Sacred Oak Academy also learn Core Belief Work™ – another powerful tool of our lineage. Core Belief Work will assist you to eliminate limiting beliefs from your subconscious mind, energy field, and all other layers of your being, so you can embody the spiritual leader and facilitator you came here to be.
This is an advanced path of shamanic energy medicine… and it’s what we lead select students through at The Sacred Oak Academy.
“One of the most life-changing choices I’ve made in years.”
“I went through a rough year, getting divorced after 25 years. WORKING WITH ROSE HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST LIFE CHANGING CHOICES I’VE MADE in years. I had a series of breakthroughs with her. Rose’s high level of consciousness, wisdom, and loving attention, helped me receive a deep heart-centered knowing of my path going forward that has changed my life.”

About Our Director
At age five, our founder, Rose Cole gave her first talk about life after death, the astral world, and Spirit Guide communication to her Kindergarten class.
While other children presented their dolls and toys, she described her past lives in vivid detail, told about how to see and speak with ancestors who’d passed on, and recited languages she had no experience with in this lifetime.
Like so many who face harsh conditions early on, people shut down these abilities that are at first as natural as breathing.
Rose was born into a household rife with trauma and abuse. Her mother and stepfather both had mental illnesses, and were drug addicts. Some of her earliest memories were imprinted with abuse and neglect. Child Protective Service eventually stepped in to remove her from the household, and she became a ward of the state.
She was eventually adopted by her aunt and uncle, an Apache Native American. His name was Albert Bianez – his spiritual name was Bitter Root. In her youth, she watched him transform himself from being a very reactive and abusive man, to becoming a revered spiritual leader by returning to the Old Ways of his Native spiritual lineage.
He grew into a pillar of the community, was a keeper of sacred song, and humble medicine man. Rose had the honor to experience many sacred ceremonies and rites of passage including quantum healing under his guidance. By the end of his life she had witnessed this man enter into a state of consciousness that can only be called “Sainthood”.
Simply being present to witness his evolution and share in his quantum leaps changed the course of Rose’s own life forever.
Rose was shown a path to reclaim her sacred gifts and shamanic abilities that had been lost through conditioning and traumatically suppressed as a child.
For the past twenty-five years of practice using her gifts as a Shamanic facilitator and educator, she —assisted by an esteemed faculty—has been supporting others in learning the medicines of the unseen world, quantum healing tools, and the RE-membrance of the old, sacred ways.
As a pioneer in Universal Shamanism, Rose Cole has been featured on Forbes.com, E! and MSNBC, and has been featured alongside visionary leaders such as Deepak Chopra and Marianne Williamson.
Today she’s made it her mission to support the movement and revival of earth-based-healing traditions, through activism, fundraising, and The Sacred Oak Academy – Guided Energy Medicine™ Certification.

Our Curriculum
Become Adept in Shamanic Practice to Further Your Sacred Service.
Discover how to responsibly develop and wield your natural-born shamanic abilities with these four pathways covered during our 9-month training.
The Sacred Oak Academy is a 9-month, international certification training with in-person and live virtual teachings, including an in-person immersion, a thorough and comprehensive shamanic curriculum, and a Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner certification.
Previously a year-long program, this training is now streamlined into a 9-month curriculum. It’s our mission to make this sacred work accessible to more people… and it’s now more affordable!
There are three core elements true to all shamanic paths around the world that we incorporate into our Universal Shamanism curriculum.
Energy Mastery. The ability to identify, move and transform energy. Removing unwanted energy from a person or space, and bringing in healing or positive energy.
Working With the Unified Field. Working within the infinite field of possibility where quantum healing and alchemy can occur. If you have experienced shamanism or shamanic healing, you know how transformative this path can be. In this realm, we are working beyond Newtonian physics and what the conscious mind can grasp. This is where true miracles can occur.
Communicate With Spirit. All shamanic paths around the globe speak and have two-way conversations with the unseen world. Guiding students into clear, sacred communication with Spirit is a very holy part of the work we do.
Gateway 1
Here, we enter the South, grounded to Earth.
Success Principles in Spiritual Leadership – Setting a solid foundation, so you’re equipped and empowered to step forward as the shamanic practitioner and guide that lights a path of integrity wherever you go.
Daily Meditation and Energetic Practices – Become empowered with knowledge of energetic anatomy and hygiene. Start each day anew from a place of deep love, joy, and grounded wisdom connected to Source.
Divine Communication™ Learn how to hear and communicate with Spirit (an ability many people have lost). Learn to have a two-way conversation with the unseen world, and receive guidance through the Guided Energy Medicine™ Lineage for yourself and how to best serve your clients.
Gateway 2
Here, we enter the West, flowing through Water.
Navigating the Spirit World and Discernment in Shamanic Work – We help you understand the astral and spirit realms, so you can practice shamanism safely and in high integrity, and without living in fear of the unseen world.
Access the “Shamanic-state” and Quantum Field – In this state you’re able to reprogram your subconscious, alchemize your space, and assist others in returning to a regulated state of being. This is the state of quantum healing and the miraculous.
Develop and Practice Mediumship. You will be learning and developing capacity in the nine types of mediumship necessary for the facilitation work we do. This is done within the safe and discerning container of our sacred lineage.
Experience a Nature Quest Initiation. We show you how to invite nature as your teacher. Nature is, afterall, the motherboard and access point of all shamanic work. In this section, we show you how to prepare for your Nature Quest—either at our in-person immersion, or on your own wherever you are in the world, so that you can experience nature-as-teacher, receive sacred esoteric wisdom from Mother Gaia, and practice walking in what we call The Beauty Way.
Gateway 3
Here, we enter the North, moving with the Air.
Learn to Perform Guided Energy Medicine™ alignments, a profound yet gentle type of shamanic energy healing that works on the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic bodies. Some of your clients may experience spiritual awakenings during sessions and gain guidance and direction about their life path. This is where you have the opportunity to train in offering energy alignment sessions, in-person or at a distance. We witness miracles everyday with this sacred work. It can help relieve stress and anxiety and integrate decades of emotional trauma.
Create a Transformative “Shamanic-field”… and use this shamanic field to alchemize the space you’re in. “The shamanic-field” is a term our founder has coined, and you’ll be learning to create this field as a foundational element for your shamanic practice and for creating ceremony.
Explore Ancient Wisdom adapted for these prophetic, modern times.
Come into “Right Way” with Nature, and All of Creation – the foundation of all shamanic work. Here, you discover how to commune deeply with Mother Earth and all of life through a way of being we call Walking in Beauty.
Gateway 4
Here, we enter the East returning to the Fire.
Working with Sacred Fire – Grandfather Fire waits, serving as the potential that allows us to transform one element into another, cleansing and composting what no longer serves us back into pure Source energy.
How to Hold Space – Create and hold sacred space for others with honor and integrity, so those with whom you work feel held and supported in their unfolding. Feel confident in private client work and performing shamanic energy alignment sessions.
The Ancient Art of Smudging and Other Shamanic Tools – Learn to work with the art of smudging to clear and activate sacred space. Also learn to work with other shamanic tools such as medicine boxes, guiia protection necklaces, rattles, and feathers during ceremonies and healing sessions.
Our 9-Month Training Equips You with the Skills to Build a Shamanic Facilitator Practice That’s Rooted in Humility, and Can Be Integrated Into Your Existing Work.
Enrollment Reopens in April 2025 for Our Advanced 9-Month, Live Online and In-Person Training. Classes begin October 2025.
Here’s What Past Students Have to Say About Their Experience Inside The Sacred Oak Academy…
I truly believe that my physical life was saved.
– Lindsey
I’m now more in the flow of life and aware of the Divine.
– Maria Brannon
This works, and it’s magic
when it does.
– Goose Wohlt
A continuous flow of love
and support.
– Kilo
I don’t ever have to worry or doubt myself again.
– Kimberly Brooke
I’m healed, and my purpose found me, which is part of the magic!
– Alisan Rowland
“I didn’t know when I signed up how much the Guided Energy Medicine™ could actually heal me. I had auto-immune issues and I truly believe that through the Creator and the people in the Academy, my physical life was saved.”
– Lindsey
“Before joining the Sacred Oak Academy, overall life was good, but my focus was not as clear on my path. My gifts and connection to the Divine and guidance were not as strong and I didn’t have a super defined spiritual practice.
Since the Sacred Oak Academy, I’m now more in the flow of life and aware of the Divine and magical parts of life. With more consistent practice, I started to notice and access those parts of myself that I had had glimpses of before, but were now becoming more consistent and easier to access. I now know that Source guidance is always there. Building that metaphorical muscle to be able to tap into that place within myself has been powerful.
The Academy has helped me with the confidence to jump in and start practicing sound healing in more powerful ways than before. I was already doing things intuitively in my sessions, but didn’t have a structure. Having a daily practice to build on has helped me feel stronger in my service to others. I now bring a whole other level and element to healings with people. This work has greatly enhanced what I was already doing, and it was easy to integrate.
I am more connected and less reactive/codependent in relationships. My husband would say I’ve been more calm, even in one of the most stressful and busy years where I’ve had lots on my plate. By having the Sacred Oak Academy community and a study group, it made everything manageable and enjoyable.
The biggest thing I received from the Academy is a deep trust in the Divine—trust that I have everything I need within me and I am always supported.
The Guided Energy Medicine™ that we learn through the Sacred Oak Academy, allows you to be able to act as a channel for the Divine beings who are ready to help us all to grow, heal, advance, and be Earthly anchors of love. Being able to access this tool through the processes and teachings in the Academy is amazing. I have a sense of comfort and trust because of Guided Energy Medicine™.
If you’re curious about the Sacred Oak Academy, it’s a big commitment, but if your soul is calling for it, there is a reason. If it keeps rattling around in your brain and heart—especially if it’s in your heart—jump in and go for it.”
– Maria Brannon
“I came into the academy not identifying as a lightworker after spending thirty years behind a keyboard working in IT. I am in a completely different place now.
One of the key things I recognized in The Academy was that these gifts aren’t necessarily switches that get turned on. They’re processes, and you get out of them what you put into them. I dragged my feet in the beginning—keeping one foot in, and one foot out. Once I jumped in with both feet, I faced all of the things that were in my way of owning these gifts.
Since then, I have experienced every single one of them except for xenoglossia and they keep getting better and better with time the more work I put into this path.
I came in with a lot of fear and doubt, ‘I don’t belong here,’ wondering ‘what if it does work?’
This works, and it’s magic when it does. I have seen profound miracles.
As long as you show up and use these tools, your gifts will start popping online like crazy and you will watch yourself do things that you never necessarily knew you could do.
It’s been absolutely incredible. I have seen profound miracles happen before my eyes that there is no other way to explain. It’s given me a completely different purpose in life. I thought Rose was joking when I joined and Rose said ‘By the end of this, you’ll know your purpose in life,’ and I was like ‘Yeah right, that’s just a sales point.’ But it’s not!
When I finally went through the process, it created the space for the magic to come in.”
– Goose
“Before the Sacred Oak Academy, my life was chaotic, undisciplined and unfulfilling. It was my best expression of how to live happily before understanding what happiness was, because I was always in my head. I was in my head because I was avoiding my heart, afraid of not belonging. It felt like I belonged somewhere… but didn’t know where that was until I joined the Academy.
Inside the Academy, I experienced tremendous shifts in my life that I could not even fathom. These shifts have shifted me energetically to the degree that my mind can’t conceptualize. However, my life has moved forward in attracting the dreams I didn’t know were even available to me. I now have the family that I always had but never knew. The Academy has brought out the brightest and best parts of me to be able to share with this world. Now I’m able to truly feel, in my body. This happened at a rate that was comfortable, but also accelerated. I am who I am today because of the nurturing that exists within the Academy space. I now feel complete and aspire to nurture others to feel complete.
My daily practice has evolved so that I feel peace, contentment, clarity, defined, empowered and love. I feel this every single day and it’s beyond any monetary value. I have discovered myself. The most immediate result that I have received has been my relationships. I have beautiful loving relationships with all those I come across and I will always have this now because of the tools and practices in the Academy. I walk differently in the world. The footprint I leave behind is much brighter and more vibrant than it ever was before. People have reflected this to me. I now have a space in my life to build out my dreams that were beyond what I could see before, when only focused on finances and career.
It’s been amazing to realize the medicine I was carrying in this world has been within me the entire time. I thought I knew who I was but I didn’t. Coming into who I am has been surprising. I feel there are many who think they know who they are, but there’s an extra push needed to step into that role. The Sacred Oak Academy was able to bring that out of me, contrary to what I would have agreed with before.
The Guided Energy Medicine™ that we become certified in during the Academy, is the light that is acceptable in energetic form, coming to this planet from our higher selves. We do not accept all of this light at once because we have spent so long living in the shadows. The connection that is brought out between the facilitator and all those co-creating the space for light to get brought in is profound. It allows us to do so with grace and ease. This light is truth, is love, is what we’ve all been searching for but haven’t had the questions to find the answers to find ourselves. This light is called heavenly by some, Divine by others, but our birthright nonetheless.
So Guided Energy Medicine™ for me is the ultimate bridge and connection of our physical human bodies and the light from which we came. My personal experience has been an enormously profound amount of joy on a weekly basis—it’s beyond words.
For those considering the Sacred Oak Academy, I want you to know your curiosity is being felt not thought. Lean into that feeling. The worst place it could take you is an understanding of yourself.
There is a continuous flow of love and support coming from the structures and growth within the alchemy of the Academy.”
– Kilo, Keeper of Peace
Before the Sacred Oak Academy, I was very much on a spiritual journey, but knowing what I know now, I was very disconnected from spirit and my guidance. I felt ungrounded and didn’t know what I was doing. Plus, I wasn’t comfortable exploring the deeper spiritual realms and my gifts. Fears that I had as a child kept coming up and I didn’t know how to move through them and get into a place of feeling safe.
EVERYTHING shifted during the Sacred Oak Academy. This program has given me the security, physical and spiritual boundaries I needed. It has helped me to form a real sense of comfort and safety, not only in life, but also in the spiritual realms. Now I am so much more grounded in my beingness—I feel a connection to ‘the ALL.’ I have a beautiful sense of knowing and understanding, and of being in ‘right way’—not just with Earth and the elements, but with life in general. It has really given me the building blocks and foundation for being able to offer Humanity a different way of be-ing. I can now bring my gifts and offerings to the world and feel solid in my foundation. I know my path forward. I have comfort in my Divine guidance. Now I don’t ever have to worry or doubt myself. I am solid in MY knowing. I now have a deep sense of trust in self. I am unshaken by what is coming at me from anyone else. It feels really GOOD! I am solid.
The biggest benefit I’ve received from the Sacred Oak Academy is being able to move forward without fear. Because I can now tap into guidance, I always know the perfect next step. The tools of trusting myself and my inner knowing have allowed me to move forward with greater ease, even when it’s not easy. These tools have impacted me in business, relationships, and basically every way possible. If I’m tapping into my guides, I get an answer, and it’s exactly what I need to hear to get to the truth. Now, I’m in such Divine flow—in ‘ever-ease.’ I trust I can’t mess it up.
The most surprising thing I’ve learned in the Sacred Oak Academy is how much I’ve developed into a clearer channel. The ability and capacity for my vessel to hold the frequency of divine truth, and to ground and hold this energy for self and others has been ever-expanding. The power of the frequency of Guided Energy Medicine™, which we get certified in at the Academy, is always doing the highest and best for all. It positively impacts every level of our being—physical, cellular, energetic—with new codes and activations.
The Sacred Oak Academy is your one-stop shop to get your spiritual shit together! If you are curious about this work, trust your body’s knowing. It will never lead you wrong.
I’m excited to move forward with my ministry, and ground it onto the Earth.”
– Kimberly Brooke
Sacred OakBefore the Sacred Oak Academy I had been feeling a lot of grief. I had moved away from a job that I was passionate about and was left feeling lost and like I didn’t know my purpose and mission in life. I wanted to stop feeling adrift, to re-gather myself and get healthier with my life choices.
After joining The Sacred Oak Academy, one of the first things that I learned was Divine Communication™ —to connect with my spirit guides. I began to trust my intuition again, and that helped me get back into my life purpose in meaningful ways. I didn’t have to go looking, it came and found me which is part of the magic of this work and The Academy!
One thing that was so powerful… was when Rose took us through a process to discover our Divine Mission. I had written out specific statements and one was to feed people who are hungry. Shortly after the event someone recruited me at a community center and the first thing I did as a director was to partner with a food bank in San Diego! As soon as I wrote those things down just four months later I was doing one of the things in my prayer. Just like that. I didn’t go looking, it came to me.
Around our first Intensive in the Sacred Oak Academy, I got an idea to offer a program to transform fear. What’s so interesting is I got the download and knew the exact person I needed to talk to right before the pandemic hit. In the Sacred Oak Academy, we all support each other around not falling into collective fear. The timing was perfect and transformational for me because I looked back on that and wondered what it would have been like to go through the pandemic without The Academy! We all share and support each other as Lightworkers here. It was the perfect gift at the perfect time for me.
Another one of the biggest gifts I received from The Academy was healing from codependency. Now, I really know how to love myself, which has improved the quality of my life as a whole. Practicing the shamanic energy work alignments that we learn here has also been a big gift.
Being able to experience profound synchronicity and connection with others doing this work, it’s hard to put into words how magical it feels when it’s happening. We are getting to experience the way we are all connected through Spirit.
It was also an incredible experience to sit in ceremony at the intensives. It was a holy, profound, and magical experience.
Guided Energy Medicine™ is being open to the source of unconditional love that we are all connected with—being a conduit for that in a way that re-aligns our body, spirit and energetic self. It has deepened my ability to trust in the goodness that exists. Love has us and is watching out for us, bringing the best into our lives. Guided Energy Medicine™ has given me a new dream and passion for doing this work and developing programs where people can release the barriers in their lives that hold them back so they can thrive in new ways.
If you are interested in the Sacred Oak Academy, there’s a reason you are curious! You are being drawn to something your heart is telling you that is right. Follow your intuition where it leads. You will never regret listening to your heart.
I’m so grateful to Rose, and everyone on the team at The Sacred Oak Academy for their intentionality, love, care, and support that is put into creating the experiences we have together. I see it communicated and expressed clearly here in the way people are treated and respected. It makes me feel good about being a part of The Sacred Oak Academy.”

Why Sacred Oak…What’s in a Name?
The Oak tree is one of the most revered of the sacred trees around the world. Its Irish name “Duir” translates to “Door” as its roots grow deep into the underworld, with a thick trunk in the middleworld, and tall branches into the upperworld. Working with the mystical energy of the sacred Oak trees can help us better understand the intimate connection between the seen and unseen worlds.
Also known as the “lightning tree,” Oak helps us to connect to the truth of our inner light even through experiences of darkness. Supporting us to root in love and anchor into reverence for all creation, the sacred Oak reminds us of the strength and courage of the heart, as well as the wisdom of the ages.
Just as the graduates from Sacred Oak Academy provide sacred support to their clients, community and global network, each Oak tree in the wild is a haven for a colossal 2,300 wildlife species, providing vital spaces for others to thrive. (By comparison a Birch tree supports 300 other forms of life.)
Oaks are dearly cherished by our Founder, Rose Cole, and for all these reasons, the Oak has been chosen as the guiding energy and namesake of our Academy.
20% of Sacred Oak Academy proceeds go to protect sacred lands and traditions.
Our sacred lands and traditions represent a lineage of earth-keepers, healers, and protectors that stretch back for generations into our pasts. At The Sacred Oak Academy, we recognize that without these sacred traditions, we would not be able to do the work we do. It is our honor to be able to contribute at least 20% of our Academy proceeds to help maintain these sacred lands and traditions far into the future. By being a part of our community and programs, you are part of that solution.
