A Wholistic Approach to Mediumship
MORE THAN MEDIUMSHIP
The Initiation Refresh is a fresh take on my signature Mediumship Foundations program! In this round, I will be offering weekly Spirit Circles as well as the Mediumship Vault, a collection of self-study resources that allow you to engage with the most relevant materials. Each round of The Initiation is different because I have a responsive approach to teaching. People in this immersive experience are at different levels of experience, allowing for a rich and layered group dynamic. Everyone can benefit from The Initiation because my teachings for mediumship development have a focus on our human development and the healing that happens through this path.
This cohort will begin with mediumship development teachings leading up to an intensive four weeks of group readings and demonstrations, There are no expectations for The Initiation other than being open to connecting, and supporting your peers. We foster an environment of acceptance and humanity where everyone can thrive in their development.

MEDIUMSHIP FOUNDATIONS 1.0
Discover and explore your mediumship abilities with this 7+ hour video course taught by Danielle Searancke. Perfect for beginners and beyond!
As a medium, mentor, educator, and the founder of Spirit School, Danielle has earned a stellar reputation for her impactful mediumship readings as well as for supporting those developing their own intuitive abilities. She is extremely passionate about supporting other lightworkers, and believes this process will empower students to embrace life with less fear and doubt, and more passion and clarity.
Originally taught live in 2024, this video-based series includes 7+ hours of teachings that cover five key concepts foundational to mediumship development.
from past students of The Initiation Refresh 2024:
“It is an amazing and loving experience; it has to be lived and felt to be better understood, and having a respectful space where I can know myself through mediumship has changed my life forever, I did not know how much I needed a community. Danielle is such an authentic and loving teacher to whom you can connect very easily, she has so much to share and does it from the heart and with a lot of passion.”

–Luza Cuevas
“If I could express my love and gratitude to Danielle and her team 24 hours a day; 7 days a week, it would not be enough! Danielle recognizes, honours, and encourages all of her students' abilities and styles. The program is interactive with plenty of opportunity to seek and give support to the safe community she has created. Danielle herself, is authentic, respectful, heart-orientated, and soulful. My own confidence and skill level grew exponentially during the short course!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
–Marian Jennifer Holmes
“The Initiation helped me affirm and validate the connection that has always been present; and is each of our birthright. Danielle’s indigenous approach is so meaningful, grounding all of us in community and mutual empowerment. The Initiation taught me that in spirit readings and in life, it is always my fears and “barriers to love” that block my flow; and love and laughter that open the channel.”

It’s more than Mediumship. At Spirit School, we look at mediumship from a wholistic lens. At the centre is you, the medium.
We work with our human selves to achieve spiritual connection.
We prioritize self-awareness and self-development as a way to sustainably develop mediumship capacities.
We use nurturing mentorship as a way to build confidence in the art of mediumship.
We provide time during classes to answer your questions in real time.
We incorporate Indigenous perspectives to balance the western traditional teachings of mediumship.
Focus on experiential teachings through storytelling.
Each class will have replay-friendly class teachings. After the teaching, we will have a live group practice circle for you to gain more experience.
Meet your mentor,
Danielle Searancke
Have you ever felt a deep calling to connect with Spirit but doubted your abilities or feared stepping into the unknown? I’ve been there, too. My own journey to mediumship wasn’t a straight path—it was filled with doubts, challenges, and moments of fear. But those very struggles shaped me into the teacher I am today.
I created The Initiation to be the program I wish I’d had when I started—a space where your potential is nurtured, your doubts are heard, and your growth is celebrated. Over 10 weeks, we’ll explore your intuitive gifts, build your confidence, and give you the tools to connect with Spirit in a way that feels natural and fulfilling.
This is more than a course; it’s a transformative experience designed to help you uncover the magic that’s already within you. If you’re ready to step into your power and say yes to your spiritual journey, The Initiation is here to guide you.

Certified Trauma Informed Entrepreneur© 2022
Certified Human First© Entrepreneur 2022
Certified Trauma of Money™ Facilitator 2022-2023

In my previous professional life, I had the privilege of reconnecting with my lineage and Indigenous culture by working at the First Nations Health Authority for 9 years. As one of the first 40 hires, I was part of the grassroots era assisting in the overall building consensus among BC First Nations communities for agency in First Nations health care policies. My time at FNHA was marked by powerful moments and significant projects that built my confidence and honed my leadership skills. The experiences and mentorship I received there have shaped me into the confident person I am today.
from past students of The Initiation Refresh:
“This was my first time taking The Initiation and it could not have been named more perfectly. I was “initiated” into the beautiful world of spirit through what I would describe as “Mediumship Bootcamp”. During our 8 weeks together I developed many new friendships and versions of my self. I feel prepared, confident and curious to continue practicing readings. I feel so blessed to be a part of The Initiation. Thank you Danielle, Andrea and Cohort 11 for the opportunity, support and space to blossom”

I went into The Initiation Refresh expecting a template approach to learning mediumship (a checklist of sorts) but the experience was simply magical and now I can see the divine beauty in all of it. It’s a path of self discovery, tapping into parts of ourselves we never knew existed and trusting that we have the innate knowledge to bring through spirit if we get out of our own way! I highly recommend this course-it was simply amazing and Danielle and Andrea are there every step of the way supporting each of our journeys on this path.

–Julie J
I loved the Initiation Refresh. Danielle is a profound teacher. Her passion for connection and holding space in her community is truly unique. I loved the format and techniques taught especially the philosophy Danielle shared. As a professional working Medium, it was refreshing to work with all levels to learn and develop.
Thank you Danielle and Team Spirit School!

FAQ for THE INITIATION REFRESH
-
What if I can't attend live classes?
I ensure you get the necessary information through various streams throughout the experience, and all calls are replay friendly. You will also have access to all content and the community ongoing. A lot of the growth takes place in the practice readings which are scheduled with your partners!
How do I know I'm ready for this program?
We have always had a combination of people brand new to the art of mediumship and people who have established practices, and all have something to be gained through The Initiation experience. We are never done developing, but we do have to start one day! The Initiation Refresh also has a focus on the development path being "More than Mediumship" and connecting to spirit as a human. There are no expectations as we consider practice opportunities to be a playground for connection!
What is the time commitment?
Each week you should plan for 2-4 hours to attend classes or watch the replays, and participate in two practice pairings per week organized by my team (you organize your time, we organize your partner!). There is an Integration Week from October 27 - November 2 where you'll also have time to catch up or review the material. We provide the schedule and try to inform you as much as possible before you commit to your purchase of this experience.
Will I get to ask specific questions?
YES! If you're familiar with my teaching style, you know I hold nothing back! I am very active in my communities, and there will be a chance to ask questions in each live call. If you are shy, you can provide questions to Andrea to post on your behalf if you'd like to ask anonymously.
You Mention the Community a lot; why is that important?
Community, connection and reciprocity are core values of Spirit School, the community for many is the only space you have to express your spiritual side freely. We host our platform off of social media to ensure no one benefits from your contributions to the space other than you and those that are lucky enough to witness you.
What is your policy on refunds?
The Initiation is a highly customized experience unlike anything else out there. Before our first class, the Spirit School team has invested dozens of hours in preparing and curating the customized experience so we are ready to roll on day one. A large portion of the administration to smoothly run a program this diverse - happens before we even get started. Therefore there are no refunds for The Initiation experience.
Life happens, so if you are unable to complete the experience, you may apply your investment to a future Spirit School offering!
