This group is a spirit circle, study group, discussion group, psychic development group, spiritual development group, and support group and aims to create a safe space and spiritual empowerment for mystical women. Feminine energy needs a safe and sacred space to gather, share their journey, discuss metaphysical, esoteric, magickal, deep spiritual topics, and evolve your soul without fear of being judged or ridiculed. Each meeting will have a topic. This is not a class or workshop. This is a place to explore, learn, connect, and experience mysticism and magick with other open-minded individuals. A place where Christina Wilke-Burbach PhD normalizes psychic abilities, mysticism, magick, Transpersonal/Spiritual Experiences, spiritual awakenings, and alternative spiritual beliefs. A place where you are empowered to become the best version of yourself with no judgement.
Space is limited! Registration for attendance at the December 17, 2024 group closesDecember 16, 2024. Register at the bottom of this page
“People need to be in connection in order to change, open up, shift, transform, heal and grow” (Jordan & Hartling, 2002)
At The Modern Mystic, come meet and connect with other magickal and mystical women! This is a live online experiential group, spirit circle, study group, and discussion group for individuals experiencing the surreal and often unexplainable. Participants are those who are living and actively participating in the real world, but are spiritually waking up to something much more. This group acknowledges that many may have experiences that might sound crazy and impossible to “mainstream society.” No experiences are judged in these gatherings. The Modern Mystic is a support group, discussion group, development group, and sacred space for feminine energy looking for guidance, understanding, meaning, self-exploration, soul evolution, and connection on their spiritual and psychic awakening/development journey. In this group, members in similar spiritual situations come together for self-exploration, to learn about mysticism, magick, psychic development, to feel more empowered, to find purpose, and for a sense of community. This group discusses metaphysical, magickal, & esoteric topics, shares information, relate personal experiences, actively listen to and validate each other’s experiences, provide sympathetic understanding, and establish a social network.
Who is this group for? This is a study group, discussion group, development group, and spirit circle for magickal and mystical women (non-binary individuals and transgender women are also welcome) experiencing the surreal and often unexplainable. The Modern Mystic is for those sensitive to others’ energy/emotions (Empaths), those looking to understand & develop their intuitive/psychic gifts, those undergoing a spiritual transformation/awakening, starseeds, lightworkers, walk-ins, shamans, medicine women, witches, pagans, psychics, mediums, Indigo/Rainbow/Crystal/Diamond Children, those who have had near-death experiences, mystical experiences, kundalini awakening, healing crisis, spiritual emergencies, ascension symptoms, past life experiences, experiences with the divine, peak experiences, dark night of the soul, crisis leading to personal transformation, intuitive/psychic/medium experiences, and other hard to describe spiritual experiences. The impossible is possible! Any woman who has had spiritual experiences (such as those described above) and is on a spiritual awakening and spiritual development journey is welcome – no matter if they are a “beginner” or more advanced. This group started in January 2019 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and individuals from all over Wisconsin attended the face to face group…Sheboygan, Fond du Lac, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Appleton, Madison, and beyond. As of March 2020, this group shifted to an online group initially for COVID-19 Prevention. Participants from all over the Midwest, Southern US, West Coast, and East Coast started attending the group when it was moved online. Christina made the decision to continue this group as an online group to serve a larger geographical area. Space in the online group is limited to about 10 to 15 participants so everyone has time to share and discuss. This will remain an online group.
We discuss relevant metaphysical & esoteric topics such as:
● Experiences of awakening and spiritual emergence. Magick. Shamanism. Witchcraft. Metaphysics.

Group Format: This is a safe, non-judgmental, and supported space to freely and openly discuss your journey and experiences, to connect, and to learn more about your own personal growth, spirituality, magick, metaphysics, and healing. Dr. Christina facilitates and leads this group experience. In 2005 Christina had a near-death experience (walk-in) and spiritual awakening that transformed her life. Christina left the clinical psychology world and pursued training in Transpersonal/Spiritual Psychology.

Part of the magic of these group events is the acceptance, connection, understanding, and community that is created.
