Redefining Prophecy, Trusting Our Intuition
Jan. 25 & Feb. 1, 2026
Join us for a two-part class happening 1pm-2:30pm Pacific time/4pm-5:30pm Eastern, with special guests Mimi Metta of Alchemystic Amulets and gifted intuitive Marcela Liliana Veron joining us; the second class will focus on intuition and divination, before the Embodied Divination (two-part) program starts in February.
Both classes will be recorded.
Write dvorah@lilithinstitute.com for more information or if you have questions.
The reframing of who or what a prophet is, going beyond the biblical context, is not an easy task. Nadya Gross (Yerusha) gives us a framework that includes “the act of speaking truth to power, the alchemy that happens when we bring something up out of our belly…call on our intuition or Divine guidance…” Do we dare to call our own ideas “prophetic”? Through discussion and short drummed meditations, we’ll explore how trusting and developing our intuition supports our personal growth and the confidence which can lead us to occasionally recognize our own words and actions as prophetic.
The “energy exchange” for these two 90-minute classes is $88.00.

Mimi Metta
AlcheMysticAmulets was born from my love of crystals and energy work. My early work consisted of Reiki enhanced bracelets and necklaces made from healing stones. When I met my husband, Brian (www.brianpoor.com), he encouraged me to work with metal and gifted me his old anvil. I then discovered wire wrapping and began making my own chains for my AlcheMysticAmulets.
This current incarnation of AlcheMysticAmulets came to life in 2015 when Brian taught me copper electroforming. This process opened up new dimensions allowing me to work with the crystals and healing stones in more expansive ways. Sometimes stories about the Amulets come to me. You will see this reflected in the descriptions. I often say that I do not design; I facilitate. The crystals and metals often have ideas of their own. I follow; they lead. Thank you for joining me on this magical exploration!
