Professional Accreditation · IICT approved training program · Global Cohort
The Institute for Intuitive Intelligence® Third Level program is the world's most rigorous professional accreditation in the intuitive sciences — for women who are done settling for the trinkets of the new age.
Intuition is not a gift
It is a trainable intelligence, and there is a gold standard for how it is taught.
The Institute for Intuitive Intelligence® exists to create and hold that standard and to qualify the women called to carry it.
Now in our 13th year, the Institute has established itself as the world leader in the most revolutionary intuition development available.

THE PROBLEM
Intuition education is broken.
We are here to fix it.
The New Age
Ceiling
Most intuition training stops at external tools and externalised power. It gives you a way to use intuition to give information to others, but not to empower our clients with their own access. This marginalises intuition, preventing coaches, professionals, leaders and mentors from utilising the potency of our highest form of intelligence in their service.
The Credibility
Gap
The intuitive sciences have been held back by a lack of professional rigour. We close that gap with evidence-based theory, clinical praxis training, and internationally recognised accreditation. Intuitive Intelligence® is a systematic approach that is evidence-based and translatable to any context - from a devotional circle to the boardroom.
The Depth
Problem
Spiritual growth that stays in the light is not growth — it is avoidance. Our curriculum requires you to move through your own shadow. That is the work that makes you extraordinary. Intuitive Intelligence® is an intersectional, socially responsible methodology grounded in an ethical and sociopolitical framework, ensuring it engages with humanity rather than bypassing it.
The Isolation Problem
The path of service is not meant to be walked alone, or for ourselves alone. The Third Level places you in an international cohort of women committed to the same fierce standard of awakening in service to the greatest good. Once qualified, you are welcomed into our Professional Graduate Community, which provides ongoing supervision, advocacy and professional development.

“My experience with the Third Level was transformative. It was a re-birth, a remembering of who I truly am and my purpose in life. A tough yet glorious journey during which I was constantly reminded to choose love, not fear! I am truly grateful for Dr Ricci-Jane’s teachings and the Third Level sisterhood. I now live my life with confidence and trust, fully aligned to my heart’s purpose.”

The Program
Where psycho-energetic science meets the devotional.
The Third Level is a six-month professional certification and personal spiritual development qualification. You graduate as a Certified Intuitive Intelligence® Guide.
You also apprentice as the Priestess Mystic Leader. The devotional heart of the program belongs to the Magdalane Lineage.
Dr Ricci-Jane Adams has pioneered the theory and praxis of Intuitive Intelligence® over more than two decades of dedicated research, academic rigour, and lived mystical practice.
Leading-edge science. Ancient mysticism. A rigorous, ethical, socially-conscious, intersectional, evidence-based framework.
IICT Internationally Accredited
Globally recognised qualification with hundreds of graduates all over the world.
Is this for you?
This training is for sophisticated devotional women who are already awake and ready for more potency in their service and lives. The Third Level supports you in both your personal spiritual intuition evolution, and equips you with a world-leading qualification.
- You have done enough personal development to know there is no shortcut, and you want a personal spiritual and intuition development training that demands and incorporates your full intelligence.
- You are called to serve, to train others, lead others, or deepen your own practice to a level that creates real, measurable transformation.
- You are ready to move through your own shadow, not around it. You yearn for unquestionable spiritual self-esteem. You understand that spiritual fierceness is the prerequisite for genuine service.
- You want a globally recognised professional qualification, not a certificate of attendance, but an accreditation that positions you at the highest level of your field, trained in a clinical praxis pedagogy.
- You are done with the spiritual silos. You want leading-edge science, ancient mysticism, and a rigorous intellectual framework, all in one place.
- You want to belong to something that takes consciousness and spiritual community seriously: a sisterhood of awakened leaders building a new paradigm, together, in a program that requires group participation and genuine connection.
The Third Level is what you have been waiting for, personally and professionally.
“Let me tell you a story about change. About what happens when you meet a teacher who doesn’t just speak to you—but calls you forward. Ricci-Jane Adams has been that teacher for me. She teaches from a place of strength, resilience, and unwavering love. Her words don’t demand—they invite. They meet you where you are and remind you that it’s safe to keep climbing, even when the path is steep.
Ricci doesn’t ask you to be anything other than what you are. She welcomes your wholeness. She speaks in completion, not because you’re done, but because you’re already enough to begin. And still, she invites you to keep climbing the mountain. To stay the course. To remember who you are. Through her guidance, I’ve not only been inspired to teach, embody, and create with purpose—I’ve also been invited to create a temple. One within myself. And one that I now hold for my clients.
This isn’t just education. It’s activation. It’s remembrance.”

Welcome home to your Temple

Priestess Mystic Leader: the apprenticeship
The mystical heart of the work of the Intuitive Intelligence® Guide is the archetypal trinity of Priestess Mystic Leader.
Every woman who walks the path of qualifying as an Intuitive Intelligence® Guide knows that the power of her work is in meeting and healing the Priestess Wound - an echo of lifetimes where being intuitive, powerful, and connected to the sensual, earthly realm came at a cost. A time when medicine women, priestesses, oracles, midwives, and seers were silenced, exiled, or worse.
The time of reclamation of the wild intuitive divine feminine authority is upon us now. The Priestess trained in the skills of shadow hunting and the transmutation of the darkness is the medicine for the global time of Descent, which we are traversing now.
The Priestess Mystic Leader is the archetype for our times. She is the bridge between the nonlocal and local dimensions. She is a woman reconnected to her spiritual authority.
Her faith is active and present in the world. Her spirituality is a balm for the world, not a way to bypass the world. She is the demonstration.
In 2019, Ricci-Jane was given the vision of 5000 Priestess Mystic Leaders awakening on Earth at this time. She has been charged with bringing that vision to life in service of the greatest good. The archetypal energy of the Priestess Mystic Leader is embodied in the qualities of humility, grace, and devotional power.
In training as the Priestess Mystic Leader, you learn to weave these qualities into your life and service.
The Principles of Intuitive Intelligence®
Archetypal Meaning
The methodology for Intuitive Intelligence® prioritises confronting subconscious fear over simple psychic development. This approach serves as a transformative praxis, guiding individuals beyond ego-driven desires to uncover the spiritual meaning behind their life experiences.
As an Intuitive Intelligence® Trainer, you move beyond identifying cause and support your clients to locate the meaning of their life events from an archetypal, symbolic perspective.
Beyond Healing to Inner Authority
Rather than acting as healers who fix others, practitioners serve as scaffolding for self-empowerment, helping clients reclaim their inner authority and divine nature.
The process is a trauma-informed journey of radical self-acceptance that requires navigating discomfort to achieve true evolutionary awakening. Ultimately, the philosophy views the mastery of one's intuition as a sacred responsibility aimed at creating positive global change.

The Immersive Retreat
6 days and 5 nights to step into your identity as the Priestess Mystic Leader
Each intake of the Third Level includes an immersive retreat, which amplifies the program's potency more than any other element of the qualification. To accommodate our global community, we alternate between sacred sites in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres with each intake of the program.
In these six days, we step deeply into the Temple of Priestess Mystic Leader. Held in a fierce and loving container by Ricci-Jane and the Third Level mentors, you are provided with all the conditions to increase your capacity to serve as an Intuitive Intelligence® Guide.
Clinical praxis, under supervision, deep devotional embodiment and initiation as the Priestess Mystic Leader - these sacred days together accelerate the power of your qualification.
We retreat to step outside our comfort zones, prescribed roles, subconscious limits, and the burdens of our daily lives to meet ourselves beyond all limitations.
Ricci-Jane is a master retreat facilitator and has guided retreats in India, Australia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Bali and the USA. The purpose of the retreat within the Third Level program is multiple:
The retreat is an integral part of training in the Intuitive Intelligence Trainer practices
We delve into the tools of the Trainer, learning how to utilise them in an in-person context
It is a sacred time of spiritual respite from the superficial world and the demands of your many roles
In this time, you are a devotee, and you are a mystic; you are stepping outside of all self-perception to meet yourself anew
The community of the Third Level comes alive as we gather in person from all over the planet
It is a time of spiritual and physical detox, as we step out of our addictions in all their forms
It is a time for you to be held and unburdened of daily tasks and mundane chores.
You step out of time and space to connect to your pure potential.

What our Graduates are Saying
The Third Level has brought together all the disparate parts of my spiritual learnings and experiences into one incredible program. I can't pinpoint exactly why it works — it just does. And consistently. If you are willing to do the deep work and commit to radical personal responsibility, the Institute offers a well-held pathway to claim the glorious gifts of your divine inheritance.
Eleni Pappas — Australia
My life — and business — has changed significantly since joining the program. Every day I am inspired into deeper communion with Source. Habits, beliefs, and people who didn't serve my highest good have gracefully fallen away, and I am the happiest, most powerful version of myself I've known thus far. Ricci-Jane is an extraordinary teacher. Her knowledge is engaging and profound.
Kim Newing — Australia
Finding the Institute has been like finding my way home. After completing the program, I now have all that I was seeking. The quest to find it has finally brought me home to myself — a deepening I was blocked from because of all the fear that I held and finally learned how to release. The story of 'I do not know enough' ended here.
Christina Verma — USA
Ricci-Jane supported, guided and empowered us to reclaim ourselves as Goddess, to become Spiritual Leaders, be of service to others and contribute to the global spiritual awakening. The course changed my life and moved me into a new direction of service — with clarity, confidence and trust in my intuition, my innate power.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Happens Once I Apply?
Upon completing the application process, you'll be advised of the status of your application within 7 days. If successful, you'll be invited to enrol and have 14 days to do so, or by September 1st, 2026, whichever comes first.
What do I qualify as when I complete the program?
When you successfully graduate, you are qualified as an Intuitive Intelligence® Guide (Trainer). This is a qualification that is recognised by the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT).
Is the Institute a Recognised Training Organisation?
Yes! We are an approved training provider with the IICT globally, which means no matter where you are in the world, your qualification is accredited and you are eligible for insurance through the IICT's provider.
I already have a modality qualification. How will this be different?
The Third Level is a meta program. What this means is that it is not simply about what you do but more importantly, your why. It is highly likely that you already have a modality, or three, or a qualification as a coach or something similar. Whilst you will learn the revolutionary theory and praxis of Intuitive Intelligence during your immersion, the intention of the program is ultimately to increase your power to serve in all the ways you show up in the world. Supercharging your spiritual power, as you train as the Priestess Mystic Leader. This program is beyond modality. It is a whole-of-life commitment to become the fullest expression of your sacred service.
I want to do this program for my own personal spiritual development. Will it work for me?
Yes. The personal spiritual development pathway is the path that all Third Level students must walk. This is an accelerated awakening program. Within the scaffold of the program, you are provided with the ideal conditions to support your spiritual evolution. If you are not interested in a professional qualification, then you simply do not complete the final case studies.
I am a trans woman. Is your Institute inclusive of me?
The Institute for Intuitive Intelligence welcomes into the Third Level program all women (trans and cis), including non-binary and gender non-conforming people and all those who identify as women. Self-definition is at the discretion of the individual.
What if I cannot attend the retreat?
If attending the retreat in person is not accessible, we will work with you to develop an all online teaching and learning experience, which provides the depth and potency of the retreat experience.
Are there any pre-requisites?
No. However, as part of your investment in the Third Level, you also gain access to our foundation program, Spiritually Fierce. You are required to complete this before or concurrent with the Third Level program.
Is a payment plan available?
Yes. There is a USD $1000 discount when you enrol by July 30, on either upfront or monthly payment plans.
How many places are offered each round?
We don't have a fixed number, because each group brings a unique energetic signature. Our highest value is creating the right combination of women for the highest outcome for all. We typically have no more than 12 women per round.
Are scholarships available?
Yes. As part of the Institute’s commitment to making the world-class training of the Third Level available to all those who would choose to train in this way, each intake of the program includes two scholarships valued at USD $1,000 each. These scholarships are available to those who self-assess as in need of financial support for reasons of economic disadvantage and who apply to be considered. The scholarships offset the full investment of the program and are not transferable to any other program. All other eligibility conditions apply for access to the Third Level. The scholarships are awarded at the discretion of the Institute. We also offer a BIWOC scholarship. BIWOC stands for Black, Indigenous and Women of Colour, including all those self-identifying as women and is inclusive of members of non-binary and transgender communities.
How often is the program offered?
The program is offered once a year. Enrolments for 2026 and 2027 open at the same time to allow you to select the preferred retreat location for you.
Is the retreat always in the same place?
No. We alternate the location of the retreat between Northern and Southern Hemispheres with each intake. This allows us to accommodate our global cohort. In 2026, the retreat is in Pescadero, Mexico. In 2027, the retreat is in Tejakula, Bali
Why is the program called the Third Level?
That's a great question, and not a straightforward answer, so I made you a video...
The Graduate Experience
Laura Kosak, Therapist, USA
“The Institute is the best example I have ever seen of an evidence-based, trauma-informed and imminently practical approach to training amazing intuitive practitioners. The community is dedicated, hard working, intelligent and supportive. Whether you are interested in growing your professional self or your personal soul, this is an amazing place to be held, challenged, and transformed.”
Lara Williams, Disability Advocate, Australia
"I decided to enrol in the Third Level when I reached a crossroads in my life. I was heavy hearted, lost and without a vision. I had a deep knowing that I had to do this course. So I placed faith in that. All of a sudden, I began to heal. I began to believe. I began to create. I began to soar. I'm truly grateful for the expertise that Ricci-Jane offered throughout this course, the incredible content, the push to embody all that we are, glorious consciousness."
Tina Bruce, Author and Yoga Teacher, Australia
"The Third Level was a massive uplevelling experience. The guidance, support, leadership and mentoring made this course so professional and unique. I always knew the power of intuition for myself but didn’t know how to activate it for others. Now I have these tools to lead a new paradigm and offer my clients the potential for their own transformation."
