WHAT YOU ARE ENTERING
Not a course.
An awakening.
"Many trees in the Celtic Ogham take and embody the form of the triple goddess. In tune with the Nature Goddess’s seasons, they offer themselves as dainty flower girls, sultry mothers bearing their irresistible fruits, and then fall into dormancy casting chilling shadows in the moonlight.
This axis they spin on as our Great Mother journeys around the sun, lives within us too, within our stories, our deities, and the riddles we were sent here to solve." -Rose Wollf
The ogham is the sacred alphabet of the Celtic tree tradition — each of its letters named for a tree, each tree a portal into a different quality of wisdom, medicine, and power. For the ancient Celts, the trees were not background. They were teachers, allies, and ancestors. They were written into the very language of the land.
Awaken the Druid is a two year-long shamanic journey through this living alphabet. Each month, we enter into relationship with one tree — not as a concept, but as a living presence. We journey with it in shamanic trance. We study its medicine, its mythology, its ogham letter. We craft tools from its wood, make teas and tinctures from its offerings, and scribe its letter in ceremony. We sit with its grief, its gifts, and its teaching.
By the end of two years, you will not have merely learned about the trees. You will have built relationships with them — relationships that are ongoing, reciprocal, and real. You will have a shamanic practice rooted in the land. You will carry a language of symbols that speaks in dreams, in nature, in the movements of the world around you. And you will have changed. Not because I changed you, but because the trees did.
WHAT YOU ARE ENTERING
This is for you
if you are ready
WHAT YOU WILL COME AWAY WITH
By the end of the two years, you will have:
A working shamanic practice rooted in the Celtic druidic tradition
You feel a deep, unnameable pull toward the natural world — toward the trees specifically — and you want to learn to follow it.
A living, personal relationship with each of the twelve ogham trees
The ability to read and scribe the ogham alphabet in ceremony and divination
You are longing for a spiritual practice that is rooted in the land, in ancestry, and in the rhythms of the seasons, rather than abstracted from them.
A library of recordings, ceremonies, and craft practices to return to
Sacred tools you made with your own hands from each tree
You have creative gifts — writing, making, healing, teaching — and you sense that the trees have something to say to that part of you.
A changed relationship to the land beneath your feet — wherever you are in the world
You are in a period of transformation, shedding, or grief, and you want guides that are older and more patient than anything human.
You want to learn shamanic journeywork, but within a specific, earthed tradition — not a generic or decontextualised framework.
You are someone who is done performing someone else's version of spirituality and is ready to build something that is truly her own.
You understand that real change happens slowly, seasonally, and with devotion — and you are willing to commit to a year.
A community of tree huggers who have walked the same path with you
A NOTE OF HONESTY
This program is not for those who want quick fixes or spiritual shortcuts. The ogham does not work that way. The trees do not work that way. This is slow, seasonal, devotional work — and it asks something of you in return. If you are in the middle of a crisis and need immediate one-on-one support, I would invite you first to RTT therapy or my personal mentorship program, and to return to Awaken the Druid when you have ground beneath you.
THE SACRED ALPHABET
What is
the ogham?
The ogham (pronounced OH-am) is one of the oldest alphabets of the British Isles — an ancient writing system used by Celtic peoples whose letters were named not for sounds alone, but for trees. Each letter was a tree. Each tree was a world.
In the druidic tradition, the ogham was not only a way of writing — it was a way of seeing. To know the letter of the birch was to understand threshold, new beginnings, the first brave shoot after winter. To know the letter of the yew was to hold the mystery of death, deep time, and the ancestors who wait in its shadow.
In this program, we move through all twenty of the core ogham letters — one per month, in the rhythm of the seasons. We study each tree as a shamanic ally, a medicinal plant, a mythological figure, and a living teacher available to us in the world right now.

A tree of your choice
Who is calling you? What is her message?
Each monthly session runs 1.5–2 hours live and is fully recorded. Materials, ceremony guides, and craft instructions are provided in advance. We have 24 months so that it's possible to stay longer with certain trees when they ask it of us.
WHAT YOU ARE ENTERING
Everything you need
to go deep
24 LIVE GROUP CEREMONIES
Monthly 2 hour sessions on Zoom. A guided shamanic journey, teaching, and ceremony for each tree. Fully recorded if you cannot attend live. We also offer mid-month optional live journeys to revisit the tree.
SHAMANIC JOURNEYWORK
A guided journey to each tree in both the visible and invisible worlds. You will meet these trees as living allies, not as concepts. Recordings yours to keep.
OGHAM SCRIBING PRACTICE
Learn to write and read the ogham alphabet. Each month, a new letter — its strokes, its symbolism, and how to use it in ceremony, divination, shamanic work and spell writing.
SACRED TOOL CRAFTING
Guides for making tools from each tree — wands, staffs, prayer beads, ogham staves, herbal bundles. Crafted with your hands, consecrated in ceremony.
TREE MEDICINE & DIETS
Herbal medicine and tree diets — teas, tinctures, and plant practices for working with each tree's healing gifts in your body and home.
COMMUNITY & SUPPORT
A small, private group of souls walking the same path. Monthly check-ins. A shared space for questions, ceremony sharing, and ongoing support throughout the years.
All sessions are recorded and yours to keep. Materials and guides are sent in advance of each month. No prior shamanic experience is required — only a willingness to show up and listen.
Classes take place on the last Sunday of the month 11AM PST, 2PM EST, and 7PM GMT. A schedule with exact dates are provided to those registered or those who inquire.

WHAT YOU ARE ENTERING
I didn't choose
the trees.
They chose me.
I came to the ogham the way most people come to their truest teachers — sideways, and when I wasn't expecting it. I had been practicing shamanism for years, working with journeywork and healing in various traditions, when I began to notice how often my journeys led me to the same places: the edges of forests, the space beneath root systems, the hollow of an old tree.
I started studying the ogham in earnest and found something I hadn't found in other systems — a spirituality that was genuinely rooted in the land I come from. In the trees that had shaped the dreams and prayers of my ancestors. The ogham is not a metaphor for me. It is a living language. I have met these trees in ceremony, in dream, in vision, in the mountains, and walking the golden fields of Burgundy where I live now. And every year, they teach me something new.
I created Awaken the Druid because I wanted to offer seekers an initiation — not into a tradition they have to perform, but into a practice that grows out of their own relationship with the land. Everything I teach in this program, I have lived. The journeys I guide, I have taken. The tools I show you how to make, I have made and used in my own practice.
I am not a guru and I am not an authority. I am a practitioner who has been shaped by these trees, and I believe with my whole heart that they are waiting to shape you too.
With devotion, Rose
WORDS FROM THOSE WHO HAVE WALKED THIS PATH
What becomes possible
when you show up
I have found engaging with the Trees to be a somatic and rooting experience in a quieter and slower way than other nature spirits, while also in a way that impacts the deepest elements of the body and spirit over longer cycles of time. I have taken other tree classes before Rose’s Ogham course, but hers has been the only one where the container is held in such a way that the connection to the trees has become loud and present in daily life. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in deepening their connection with the members of the trees of the Ogham.
Rudayna Ghubash
Awaken the Druid student
Rose holds sacred space like no one else. Everyone in the circle is loved and protected.She is a wealth of knowledge and shares it freely with everyone. I sometimes struggle to drop into journeys, but her guidance takes me there effortlessly. During this course, I had been going through some big life changes, medical complications, and the support of this circle and these trees have been instrumental.
Amanda Soulhoutis. — Awaken the Druid student
Rose's Awaken the Druid is two years of deep nourishment. The tree-dieting process opens unexpected wellsprings of creativity and teaches a quality of listening that changes how you move through the world. The bonds formed among participants are real, tender, lasting, and sustaining through difficult times. For anyone drawn to druidry and the wisdom of trees, this course is a deeply satisfying framework for awakening to the relationality that underpins everything.

JOIN THE CIRLCE
"You will never see a forest the same way again. And that is not a loss — it is a homecoming."
— Rose Wollf
All prices in EUR. Payment plans available with no extra cost. If cost is a genuine barrier and you feel deeply called to this work, reach out before you decide it isn't possible — rose.e.wollf@gmail.com.
Do I need prior shamanic experience?
No. This program is designed for individuals at any stage of their path. A willingness to show up and a relationship with nature — even a longing for one — is all that is required.
What if I miss a session?
Every session is fully recorded. You will have access to all recordings and materials for the life of the program and beyond. Missing a live session does not mean missing the journey.
I don't live near trees. Can I still participate?
Yes — and this might be the most important reason to join. The relationship you build with these trees is not dependent on geography. It is built through journeywork, intention, and practice. People in cities have done this work and found the trees found them regardless.
When exactly does the program begin?
The July 2026 cohort begins in end of July. Exact dates will be confirmed with all registered participants. The early bird list receives first access to scheduling and pricing.
