This class invites participants to curate their own “Mentor of Marvel” compass—focusing less on external figures and more on cultivating the qualities within themselves. Drawing from timeless wisdom traditions (including Dzogchen awareness), sacred storytelling, and spiritual psychology, this journey is one of reclamation, clarity, and awe.
