We are here to walk with you
Priming your system for deep healing and profound spiritual connection calls for commitment and dedication. It is imperative to understand that what we take into our systems, whether through food, medications and supplements or the media we consume has a large energetic impact. Cleaning our vessel allows for the clarity, lessons and knowledge from the Divine to come without distortion. The preparation process is also a way of honoring and showing reverence for the opportunity to commune with the sacrament.
Intentions are key to guiding the ceremony, it's like putting an address into your spiritual GPS.
Intention questions to consider:
- What do I want to release, be relieved of or let go of?
- What am I calling in, reclaiming, or wanting to embody?
You will be fully supported along the preparation path. We will provide supplemental materials that will give guidance, direction and suggestions.

Group and One-on-One Support
Integration is a vital part of healing your mind and connecting with your spirit. Integration is the process of incorporating the lessons, teachings and wisdom learned into our lives. The goal is not perfection, in fact shortcomings are often the greatest teachers. The purpose is steadily increasing awareness of our thoughts, emotions, words and actions and exploring ways to change them and better ourselves. In order to claim all of the rewards of this work we must learn to be authentic, real and transparent with ourselves and others. The ability to share with an open heart and to be fully seen, in a safe and respectful way, is by far one of the most valuable offerings we can make to ourselves.
Consider doing some, or all, of the following to support your integration process:
- Connection and Community
- Be in nature
- Journal
- Prayer
- Meditation
- Yoga
- Breathwork
- Creating and Art
- Gardening and connect with plants
