What does your being need?
Personal Ceremony
This is a process of deep holding, warmth, love, life energy flow, of feeling the feelings, of being with, of having support, space, all for you.
Traditionally Closing the Bones ceremony is for women who gave birth, to provide support to the physical body that did so much to bring new life and also to care for the spirit of the woman and who she is now, while acknowledging and deeply honoring and mourning that she is no longer the woman she was before the child. This can be done soon after the childbirth or even 20 years after.
And it is also a ceremony for other significant transitions, deaths and rebirths, moving from one phase into another, from one version of self into another. It’s also about calling back and welcoming in parts of the soul that have been left behind, lost, forgotten, hidden.
Are you going through a transition or have gone through a transition and feel incomplete, or wanting to go through a transition? Are you missing some parts of yourself or want to get to know more of yourself? Do you need experience of care and safety? Are you longing to release what you’ve been carrying and unsure or scared of what and how? What processing needs to happen in you and for you so more life energy flows? What chapters need to close and versions of self die? Have you been in a role for so long that all outside of that feels like a big new territory? Do you want to celebrate and acknowledge as how far you’ve come? Are you always the caregiver? Are you ready to step into new experiences, into unknown with more trust, clarity, certainty, easy, power..? Do you need to experience acceptance? Are you ready to explore your own self a bit more or a lot more? Is there a lot of not-knowing living in you? Are there emotions and experiences that are suffocating you? Is there something that needs to be liberated in you? Something that needs to be reclaimed within you?
You are welcome here.
We will go as deep or as slow and layered as you need & want & have capacity for. I will be your guide, with a structure for more resource, spaciousness, safety, being as you are.
Ceremony will be shaped based on your needs and soul’s guidance.
For some, it will be a lot of about nurturing of the inner child, for some about shedding the layers, personal and ancestral, and for some celebrating the growing and becoming, or a variation… And it’s not about the process of others at all. It is about you receiving. It’s about nurturing, closing, acknowledging, holding, shining, expanding, liberating, loving the parts of you.
Possible parts of the ceremony: herbal steam, family constellation, systemic ritual, cacao brewing, fire ritual, Rebozo massage, intuitive expression through paint, herb mandala, designing path forward, Limpia (cleansing bath), personal sauna, body and stomach massage, intuitive body work, drumming or other sound aid, Rebozo swaddling.
To speak to the ‘stages’ of the full day ceremony, there’s meeting, connecting, establishing trust with the body, cleansing, layer work, looking at the path forward, ‘death’, ‘rebirth’, reunion. And the processes will be unique to each person.
While we do work with the essences of medicinal herbs, this is not an offering of a plant ceremony.
I offer travel appointments as well.
