Group Healing Ceremonies
Group ceremonies have been an integral and very meaningful part of life throughout most of human history and offer participants the opportunity to heal on many levels, while also tapping into a much more whole and connected way of life. The ceremonies I offer are carefully crafted to benefit and support the healing, growth and ascension of the community. For these events, I mindfully and intentionally create a container to hold our practice, while bringing in a feeling of the sacredness of life, our deep interconnection, and giving everyone the opportunity to feel fully held, seen and heard. These ceremonies may include a variety of different elements, including: visioning or visualizations, sacred movement practices, reflective writing exercises, group energy healings, symbolic offerings or actioning, meditative movement and/or sound healing. Specific events are listed on the events page.
Individualized Ceremonies
Ceremony is the experience of bringing the sacred into the everyday and has been used throughout history to mark life transitions, initiations, times in seasonal and cultural life and to formally honor commitments, new beginnings and endings. It is a powerful way to come into full presence and bring intention into any area of your life, creating a feeling of deep significance and spiritual connectedness. The loss of ceremony, ritual and initiatory experience has taken away our ability to see life as sacred, meaningful and valuable, and robbed us of the feelings of worth, belonging, support and connection that came along with these practices. I offer support around building meaningful, personalized, resonant and appropriate ceremonies for whatever you may be going through, bringing back the significance, intention and healing that should surround these life experiences, and honoring your process as you work through it. This is such important work that brings healing on a multi-dimensional level. It's for you in this moment, but also like giving reparations to the deepest self, humanity and the earth. I offer both planning and preparation, as well as facilitation services as needed. See my packages listed below.

one-on-one individualized healing Ceremony
This is an intimate, one-on-one ceremony, where we hold and honor your healing intention and help you step through the gateway into your new way of being. We'll have a consultation where we discuss your intentions and what kind of honoring or transitioning you are working with and then craft a beautiful experience that supports you in stepping out of the old story/way of being and into the new one. Once we've decided how it will look, I will be there to hold space and facilitate the process for you. Following our work, I'll offer you some support around integrating and carrying the experience back into your daily life. This is such a powerful way to support your growth, awakening and transformation! Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or would like more information.
Ceremony planning and preparation Package
With this package, you get an initial consultation, a suggested outline, and a half-hour follow-up to design and prepare for your ceremonial experience. In the initial session we will discuss the purpose and goals of the ceremony, as well as what has meaning to you, so that we include elements that feel as powerful and relevant as possible to your specific situation. Based on that discussion, I will propose an outline for the event with relevant links and resources for you to look over. In our follow-up session we will make any necessary changes, clarify the facilitation process and finalize the plan so that you feel confident in carrying out the ceremony for yourself or loved ones.
Ceremony Crafting and Facilitation package
For this package you get everything listed above, plus my participation in and facilitation of your ceremony (up to two hours). This could include set-up and preparation, building an altar and/or preparing sacred props or objects to be used in the ceremony, leading the ceremony itself and supporting the social and integrative period following the event. Participation in excess of two hours will be billed at an hourly rate of $100/hour.
