“Jen Deraspe is a kind, gentle, yet mighty leader that will guide you with integrity and accountability to and through all that she knows.” Sakura Violette
Mary Vermette-Graham will serve as the assistant for the upcoming class of 2024. She brings much heart and soul the circle and will be a great asset for all involved.
“I am not the same person who began this School. I have become more myself and gotten more clear on the work that is mine and what is not. My wish is that every woman I know would find the courage to take up this work in themselves and witness the vibration it creates in the world around them.”
"I am taking away lifelong practices, freedom, and truth. I am committed to self-service and service of others. I am taking away self-confidence and self-love. I am so proud of myself! I 1000% recommend the Women's School for Spiritual Warriors."
Mariah Slesarchik
"I will never be the same. I found my way home to Mer. I found the endless unconditional love for me and am beginning to have for others. I found and reconnected with my courageous, adventurous, gypsy, heart and I look forward to seeing how it unfolds for however long I am gifted to be alive in this glorious lifetime. I am clear now. I see my way forward. The clouds have cleared for me. Thank you for finding me. For letting me find you. And for helping me find me again." Laurie-Elle McSwiggin
Testimonials from the participants in the
Women’s School for Spiritual Warriors:
The Women’s School for Spiritual Warriors lays out a labyrinth of growth opportunities. As a student Warrior we are guided, guiding ourselves and supporting each other; all simultaneously. In response to a friend asking if the school has changed me, I envisioned a house being lifted up off its foundation for repair. The time with Jen and the sisters has lifted me up. I have been encouraged to do my personal and thorough inner inspection. Then as we progressed there was the adding on of support and reinforcement. All this with a clear goal of settling me back on more solid footing and I am grateful.

Jen Deraspe
I have dedicated my life to living a peaceful, healthy life and sharing tools that support this with those interested in the same. I am a life-long student and practitioner with some of the most important masters and spiritual teachers of our time. These experiences have provided me with an incredible opportunity to learn, evolve, & bring those practices to my life and the lives of my students. As a retreat leader, facilitator and teacher, I have had the profound privilege of working alongside thousands of participants who came looking for something more in their lives. Collectively, we have spent tens of thousands of hours together in deep practice, inquiry, meditation, nature and conscious movement - giving me a truly rich understanding and powerful insights into the types and unique progression of practices that can shift, move and transform consciousness and ways of Being.
The Women's School for Spiritual Warriors is the culmination of my life's work - it is powerful, transformative and accessible - and simple to follow. I am thrilled
to share it with you!
