A Message from Jessica




I am truly honored to offer The Birch Tree Ministry Mystic & Ministry Ordination 10-Month Program once again. This program is deeply sacred to me, and I am excited to walk this journey with each of you.



By the end of our time together, you will be certified as a Mystic and ordained as an Interfaith Minister. As a National Minister/Director of the Universal Brotherhood Movement, Inc., I will personally guide you through the ordination process, ensuring your credentials and ministry are fully recognized.



πŸ•Š Please note that UBM fees for ordination ($95) and annual minister dues ($60) are separate from the program costs. These are required for your official ministerial registration and the legal protections of your ministry.



If you feel called to step into a deeper connection with Spirit, serve others through sacred ceremony, and develop your own spiritual path, I welcome you to this life-changing journey.



With peace on your path,


🌿 Rev. Jessica Kozak Shaw


Founder, The Soul Purpose LLC


Minister/Director, Birch Tree Interfaith Ministry
