Bonnie Serratore is a Spiritual Accelerator, meaning that she helps people accelerate their personal healing, growth, and spiritual development. 

Bonnie accelerates the liberation of our authentic, true, and divine self. She does so by removing and clearing all unwanted foreign energy from the individual, in all time and space, as these interfere with the expression of our divine self.

Everything Bonnie Serratore knows she has learned through direct experience in her own life, as well as from working with her clients and students. 

She has not studied or trained with any teachers, living or dead, and does not use spirit guides or any trance-inducing tools – she relies on nothing but her own inner knowing and the energy of the White Light of Creation. 

Although she was born with these abilities, she has developed an intimate connection with herself and the Light through her profound personal experiences. 

Bonnie lived alone in the desert of Arizona for four years, speaking to almost no one. There she expanded her skills and burned through much of her own interference and ego.

Bonnie has taken personal trips where she studied the energy of the pyramids of Egypt, and the sacred sites throughout Israel.

In these experiences, she cultivated deeper and deeper connections with Source by realizing the true nature of her own divinity. 

Bonnie’s work has led to the start of the White Raven Center and many other spiritual centers throughout the west coast of the United States. 

Spiritual Acceleration is the culmination of everything Bonnie has discovered and the realms of consciousness that she has expertly explored. 

She is on the leading edge of the Spiritual Acceleration movement – a global community of people dedicated to their own personal liberation and supporting others who are on the same journey. 

Her work is like no other in that its transformation is profound, permanent, and accelerated beyond expectation. 

She currently holds regular intensives and professional trainings where she teaches Spiritual Acceleration techniques & Master Tracking skills.
