My trip to Japan was truly unforgettable. Merit, Ariana, and Jonathon were amazing guides - knowledgeable, kind, and so attentive. They helped us touch the true heart of Japan, and I honestly couldn’t have planned a better experience.Japan exceeded every expectation I had. I was deeply moved by how respectful the society is, with such a beautiful focus on the collective rather than the individual. You can feel Zen woven into everyday life. The culture is ancient, graceful, and full of things to learn from.I’m leaving with so much appreciation, inspiration, and gratitude. An incredible journey I’ll never forget

A school for intuition that inspires.
I first encountered Merit Solara Duran and the School for Intuitive Ascension about a year ago. I had been looking for something to advance my spiritual development and bring me to greater facility with my intuitive gifts. This is that something and goes beyond anything I could have hoped for.I am currently enrolled in Level 2 and am learning ways in which I can erase negative emotions and clear memories which bring me pain.I am also learning tools which enable me to be an intuitive reader and eventually coach.Merit and her fellow teachers bring a quality and creativity to everything they do that inspires me and ignites a fire in me to just learn more.I give the School of Intuitive Ascension my highest recommendation.

Confidence, Clarity, Clairvoyance
Merit and The School for Intuitive Ascension have truly been life-alchemizing for me. When I first joined, I was tangled up in self-doubt and second-guessing my psychic gifts. But through Merit’s guidance and encouragement, I’ve been able to not only embrace them, but actually celebrate them.Her teaching is this magical blend of high-quality training and effortless wisdom—she somehow makes clairvoyance feel both profound and totally natural. And it’s not just about learning skills; it’s about stepping into your true purpose with confidence (and maybe a little sparkle, too ;)The community and practice hours have been priceless. They gave me a safe space to experiment, fine-tune my intuition, and break through old fears. Every session felt like unlocking another piece of myself, and now I stand in my power in a way I never thought possible.Because of this journey—and the space to do some deep soul work—I feel empowered to live my purpose, share my gifts, and even launch my own coaching and healing programs.Merit doesn’t just teach; she ignites. She creates a space where you can grow, laugh, stumble, rise, and fully become yourself. I’m endlessly grateful for her wisdom, her humor, and the supportive container she’s built.If you’re even a little bit curious, take the leap. I can’t recommend Merit and The School for Intuitive Ascension enough!

Merit, the genuine article (Oracle)
I have had the privilege of knowing Merit since 2014. I attended both level one and level two of her clairvoyant training. Her sessions are workshops where all the students put into practice what we learned in that session. We all have these capabilities, and what these workshops provide is similar to going to a health club where you exercise your body and strengthen the various muscles. All the techniques we learn are our various energetic muscles, so to speak, and we are exercising them so that we use these abilities so naturally. In the beginning, I had to concentrate and think about what I was doing. Merit has helped me move from seeing these capabilities as a task, now they are beyond discipline, they are part of my Natural life.Merit applies what she discovers and learns, and shares from those experiences. She is genuine. Here is a short list of what we covered:Life Path readings – not your future, but discovering your life mission, how to bridge the gap from where you are, to how to fulfill your missionGetting into resonanceAddressing trauma – how to erase karma or negative patternsParallel UniversesSeveral Grounding techniquesCleansing and activating your ChakrasMeeting and working with your healing guidesShadow workNegative EntitiesSoul Contract ReadingRemote Viewing.

We Don't know what we Don't know, until we do!
Studying with Merit has opened a whole new world for me....an internal world I didn't know existed! I didn't know that my subconscious thoughts and feels and unwanted patterns of being, so influenced the person I call me! I just thought they were who I was. And in this interior invisible world, I didn't know that I could affect my external, physical world. With Merit's class work, I have been able to shine light on my relationships and how I navigate my world. Now, everyone I meet is my friend and all my past strained family relationships have been transformed into heartfelt loving bonds! It truly seems magical to be released from lifelong patterns and then become a stranger to yourself!It is with the benefits of Merit's School for Intuitive Ascension, that I have experienced that it is within my grasp to create a life that is "Beyond my wildest dreams!" I am eternally Grateful to Merit and the School For Intuitive Ascension!!!

Hogwarts is kindergarten compared to here…
The School for Intuitive Ascension stands out for its unique and pragmatic approach to spiritual and psychic development. While many similar programs may focus solely on skill acquisition, this school emphasizes a foundational principle of personal healing and emotional clearing. The core philosophy, which teaches students to first remove "filters, programmings, negative patterns and emotions," is a significant strength. This focus on self-clearing, notably through "The Goran Technique," ensures that students can achieve a state of neutrality, which is essential for accurate and ethical intuitive work.By prioritizing this internal work, the School for Intuitive Ascension prepares its students to become not just intuitive readers, but truly effective and responsible psychic therapists and life coaches. The mission to train "highly skilled" individuals who can facilitate genuine healing for others is supported by a curriculum that addresses the potential for psychics to project their own unhealed wounds. This holistic method of training elevates the program beyond a simple course in psychic abilities, making it a comprehensive path for personal and professional growth in the spiritual arts.

I came to the School of Intuitive Ascension seeking deeper personal growth, and what I received went far beyond my expectations. Merit’s classes are a powerful blend of wisdom, compassion, and practical guidance that helped me expand mentally and emotionally. Her ability to truly see and understand people creates a safe space for growth, clarity, and authentic transformation.Under her mentorship, I stepped outside my comfort zone, gained confidence in my values and direction, and even felt inspired to become a coach myself. The tools and insights I’ve learned are not just for personal healing—they’ve empowered me to help others unblock limitations, welcome abundance, and contribute to a rising collective consciousness.If you’re looking for teaching that is deeply impactful, heart-centered, and life-changing, I cannot recommend the School of Intuitive Ascension highly enough.

I had an awesome 90 min reading yesterday with 3 amazing graduates of The School For Intuitive Ascension. WOW! They were right on in every aspect and validated exactly what I needed to hear right now. The readings in this 90 minute session were very affirming and reassuring! I am so inspired to continue on this journey I am on and to expand my niche etc. That 90 minute reading was a really a great way to incorporate exactly what I wanted confirmation about and helped me get new insights. All three of the readers did an off the charts job. I feel so encouraged especially with the path John and I are on with rebranding ourselves and discovering where we are going from here on our amazing journey through our Golden Years!😍😍😍

Merit with her school for intuitive ascension
I think without using too many words the best thing I can say about Merit and her school is that she really cares on a very deep profound level. As she has gone through some very traumatic experiences in life herself she truly knows what it is about if someone is really in need of workable tools for lasting successful change to happiness and she gives it her all when offering her help. And just like she does this when helping an individual she also does this on a school level with all the students, helping them individually, guiding them along until each one really gets it and can apply the tools learned.

Unstuck to Fast Forward
Years have been spent in "Self-help" and "Development " it's a cCore Value of mine. It had to have "helped" as I cannot know who I would be minus the many inputs over the years. However.....ACCELERATION has been mine this past 18 months during this time of taking Merit's courses and working with her. Examples are some of the stuck lifetime items are a weight situation of 35# that transmuted almost like magic when I began to "clear" known and unknown situations with a technique Merit learned that saved her life. To learn the techniques that have completely resolve issues that have haunted me and kept me stuck still has me in awe!! I AM Eternally Grateful and if this review touched you in some way....follow that nudge and learn more!! IT Could Set You Free! To Be!!! Amazed and Grateful and Excited for More!!

Honest, Kind and Gentle
I have worked with Merit throughout my journey of sovereignty! She helped me as a small business owner with my intergenerational trauma, childhood and other emotional issues which I could not see. Merit is kind, honest and patient in her approach. She uses her intuition to help people and has the biggest heart.

The School For Intuitive Ascension and the ground-breaking lessons taught there are nothing short of miracles. Not only have I experienced a personal life-long dream of finding my true love, but I have witnessed profound healing from others ranging from deep trauma, to depression, to chronic illness. Merit, the founder of the school is patient, kind, and approachable — especially with breaking down the some of the more complex lessons. The information available here is life-changing and profoundly effective. The way it is presented is fun and easy to learn. I especially like the way community is encouraged, so I feel supported on this exciting new journey in my life. I feel like a new and improved version of myself, thanks to The School For Intuitive Ascension.

A Life Transformed
A Life Transformed — From Surviving to ThrivingThere are people whose presence in your life becomes a turning point—guides who don’t just help you heal, but awaken you to the healer within. Merit is that person for me. Her mentorship and the teachings in her Intuitive Level 1 course, especially the profound Goran Technique, have completely transformed how I relate to myself, my emotions, and my healing journey.Before working with Merit, I was dipping my toes into the waters of emotional healing—“sort of” clearing pain, but still feeling stuck in cycles of overwhelm and uncertainty. From the very beginning, her grounded presence, deep intuitive insight, and compassionate guidance created a space where I felt safe to explore and release parts of myself I had long buried.Through the Goran Technique, I learned how to access and clear emotional trauma at its root—not just surface-level symptoms, but the deep imprints that had shaped my thoughts and reactions for years. What I once approached tentatively, I began to move through with confidence and clarity. My healing didn’t just progress—it accelerated. I went from “sort of clearing” to releasing pain at a rapid pace. It felt like I was finally shedding layers that were never mine to carry.The Intuitive Level 1 course was not just a class—it was an initiation into my own power. I learned how to listen to the quiet wisdom within me, how to trust it, and how to use it to navigate life with greater ease and authenticity. Merit’s teachings were practical, spiritual, and deeply empowering. She didn’t just teach techniques—she helped me embody them.Merit, thank you for seeing me before I could see myself. Thank you for reminding me of who I am beneath the pain and the programming. Because of you, I now walk through life with more trust, more softness, and more strength than I ever knew was possible.With all my heart,Rebecca

I’m so grateful for her guidance, wisdom, and the safe, encouraging space she creates.
