A Reflection on Mastery

& What We Have To Offer

The 10,000-hour rule, popularized by Malcolm Gladwell, suggests that roughly 10,000 hours of deliberate practice are required to achieve mastery in a field.

I’ve been sitting with this idea of mastery, and considering what we have to offer you here…

There’s a common conception that to grow your reach in a space like this, it’s important to really refine your niche. You’re supposed to be clear about the topics you’re teaching so those who are looking to learn can easily find you.

With both Nicholas and I (Kallie) having strong Gemini placements in our natal chart,
(Both Gemini Sun, Mars, and Mercury, Kallie also Venus, and Nicholas also Ascendant 😅),
we’re very versatile and multi-faceted, with a curious nature and a love for learning and having new experiences. We have an abundance of passions and creative expressions that light us up, and as we continue on our journey this list of things we enjoy seems to continue to expand with us. I’m not sure we could ever fit the vastness of ourselves into a single theme or niche.

However, there is one key area in our lives in which we have put in our 10,000 hours, and that’s wholehearted devotion to our mission: Embodying the infinite love we’ve cultivated within and continually saying “Yes” to God, no matter the cost.

We both have over a decade of being fully committed to our spiritual journey, and what we have to share is the wisdom of our lived experience - the medicine we’ve extracted from the deep cultivation within ourselves.

Kallie’s Path

For me , my life has unfolded in ways to make me particularly experienced in the field of energy work, grief work, and embodying God’s love. I gained mastery in these areas through wholehearted surrender to God.

My apprenticeship with grief work began when I was only 3 months old, after the sudden death of my Papa, and sorrow was something I’ve had an intimate bond with my whole life. Throughout my healing journey, and learning to love myself like God loves me, I’ve come to befriend my grief. When I began holding space for my grief with reverence and open to hearing its teachings, I started transmuting trauma into wisdom and appreciating the ways it deepened my soul. I later went on to become certified in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy with The Embody Lab to learn how I can use these teachings to help others.

Energy work was also a natural gift of mine. From childhood, I remember being aware of the subtle energy around and within me, and being highly sensitive to the energy of others. To feel the flow of energy through my body and radiating from my hands was like second nature to me. However, as the world began to have its way with me, to protect myself from feeling such immense pain both within myself and from all of those around me, I learned to turn this ability off by numbing myself from feeling anything.

After my salvation, I began working with energy again to reawaken and reactivate this vitality within myself that I knew in my childhood. Now I was able to work directly with God as the Source from which I draw, and let this infinite love fill me. In 2019, after my Mom died, I dedicated 9 months to doing energy work on myself all day, every day. I developed this practice, that I call faith-based energy work, of moving with the breath of God, guided by intention, to internally cleanse my body and purify my auric field. After these 9 months I deemed myself successful in life, as I had achieved total unshakable inner peace and complete wholeness.

Through prayer, surrender, and communion with God, I developed the gift of hands-on healing by asking God to work through me to help others. I was healed, and now all I wanted to do was help others awaken the Healer within themselves. This practice became one of laying on of hands, praying aloud, and guiding others into complete relaxation and surrender so God could do the necessary healing work within. I went on to facilitate over 100 Energy Alignment sessions for other people.

A little bonus gift I feel I’ve cultivated really well is my ability to make people feel welcome and provide a sense of comfort. This was developed, again, from my personal journey. I regret to admit, but I was actually a bully when I was a child. Growing up in a broken home, I projected my hurt onto hurting others. By the time I was in early high school, I felt so ashamed of my actions when I realized this was wrong, and I made the commitment to be kind and make people feel included.

Deep down I’ve always had a love for connection and conversations. Now I’ve grown to understand how important it is to our growth and ability to open our hearts when we feel a sense of safety with another. I started holding Welcoming Women’s Circles and retreats as a way to foster connection and strengthen a sense of belonging. I’ve been told that my superpower is that I am radically accepting - that someone could come to me and no matter who they are or what they’ve been through, I’d love them anyways.

Nicholas’ Path

Nicholas is a master in his unwavering devotion to his God-given mission: of awakening humanity and aligning with the thriving golden timeline. He has a lifetime of experience in relationship with the forest, journeying the inner realms, drumming, energetic grid-work, and strong connection to the angelic realms and past lives.

From a very young age, Nicholas journeyed through his imagination, traveling the furthest reaches of the universe to explore his curiosities about creation. He always held a deep connection with the forest, which became his sanctuary and teacher, a living temple that nurtured his inner world and attuned him to subtle realms. He spent most of his time studying plants, fungi, mycelium, and the relationships within our unified ecosystem. His parents observed him instinctively and intrinsically organizing objects into grids, reflecting an early attunement to sacred geometry and energetic order.

By age fifteen he published his first meditation app, and by the eleventh grade he dropped out of school to search for his purpose through travel, ancient texts, healing practices, and deep inner purification. A near-death experience in 2021 became the turning point that brought him fully home to God. Upon his awakening he gave his life over to God, and with fear cleared from his mind and gratitude for the chance to live again, he began to truly walk the path of his soul mission.

From there his practice deepened into disciplined inner work. Through his study of the forest he had always been careful not to disrupt anything, yet eventually the plants invited him to commune with them. The first plant he collected was mugwort, which he placed beside his bed. Without ingesting it, that night he experienced his first past-life dream - a vivid vision of himself as a Tibetan monk practicing Qi Gong, awakening an ancient remembrance and unlocking his ability to journey into past lives.

Through these journeys, and guiding others in regression and quantum exploration, he encountered esoteric knowledge connected to ancient civilizations and devoted thousands of hours to studying self-sustainability and preservation of future civilizations. He maintains a strong connection with the angelic realms and, in service to others, he’s completed Quantum Healing Hypnosis, Soul-Centered Healing Hypnosis, Past Life Regression, Alchemical Healing, and 200-hour Yoga training, and is currently completing certification as a Therapeutic Qi Gong Therapist.

Nicholas has also practiced drumming since the age of four, using rhythm to enter altered states of consciousness and has a year’s worth of experience holding weekly community drumming circles. Through years of devotion, energy work, and over 1,400 planetary grid activations and attunements, his work evolved into facilitating shifts within the unified field, supporting energetic coherence across the multidimensional levels of our human experience and restoring harmony within Gaia’s crystalline structure.

Closing Reflections

There are many ways one can walk through the spiritual path - through study, through practice, through tradition, and through direct encounter with the Living God.

In a world where you can become certified as a “master” in the span of a weekend, or post knowledge about spiritual concepts without actually embodying the teachings - what we share here is the wisdom learned from our personal walk in union with God.

What we’ve also both developed is a higher level of mastery revealed through faith - the mastery of trust. Like the body that will keep breathing without instruction, or the mother who is giving birth for the first time discovering that she was made for this and has done this since the beginning of time, when we trust, God will lead us.

In this art of trusting, we don’t have to “do” anything, other than surrender ourselves over to God, and allow the all-powerful God to work through us. By faith, we are guided by a deep inner knowing revealed through the body, through visions, and through life itself.

To be able to maintain this level of trust and live in continual surrender to God is a mastery in itself.

I don’t claim to know much, but one thing I can say for certain is this:
We are persistently learning and evolving.

We continue to show up every single day with gratitude, faith, and purpose.

We are wholeheartedly devoted to our mission - and this is our mastery.

You don’t need to have practiced something for 10,000 hours to have valuable wisdom to share - Everything you need is already within you.

Ancient teachings and traditions can help guide us, yet wisdom awakens when what we’ve learned becomes lived experience.

We’re shifting from an age of information into an era of embodiment. Where the most valuable thing we have to offer is our personal stories of what’s shaped us, the lessons we’ve learned, and our unique divinely-inspired insights.

Our stories become mirrors, allowing each of us to recognize ourselves more honestly.

As a collective, we can learn from the mistakes of our past, and work towards creating a better future - together.

With love,
Kallie & Nicholas
