I am happy to share The Living a Life in Ceremony course that is a self-paced, video series teaching the various ways you may bring concrete rituals and ceremonies into your life. In each video you will gain insight and learn about practical tools and techniques of honoring, co-creating and manifesting through ritual and ceremony. Whether you engage in a simple daily ritual like “Earthing” or perform a longer Despacho offering ceremony, the magic will unfold as you choose to embrace living a life in ceremony!

Shamanic Rituals, Ceremony & Journeying
I am passionate about sharing the different ways one might bring rituals and ceremony into daily living. Using shamanic traditions of establishing a loving, reciprocal relationship with nature, our ancestors and other helping spirits, I teach ways to honor and celebrate life on a regular basis. I love to share how to create offerings (i.e. pouch, quintu or a despacho) and the use of other Shamanic tools and techniques to bring more joy, connection and abundance into life. I lead others on how to travel “beyond the veil” via guided journeys to connect to helping spirits who are waiting to share their guidance, healing and gifts.

Benefits of Living a Life in Ceremony
The greatest benefit of living a life in ceremony is in establishing a supportive, harmonious relationship with Mother Nature, Earth, and it’s inhabitants. As well as creating a deeper connection to our Ancestors, Helping Spirits (the hidden folk) and Guides. Through journeying and ceremony, you experience healing for yourself, your loved ones, the earth and all its inhabitants and create balance, peace and joy in your life and your surroundings.
When practicing rituals and ceremonies you become more grounded, raise your vibration and are more empowered to manifest and co-create what your heart desires. You will find that your life will be more fulfilling and you will appreciate and experience the gifts, inspirations and abundance that begins to show up in your life!

I wasn’t sure what to expect in your class. I am not quite sure what nature spirits are and wasn’t sure if I could connect with them. During the meditation, I was quite surprised to be greeted by a gnome and a fairy. I had to stay calm and not end it out of hesitancy or questioning it or fear. I told them I don’t really know what or who they are or what to say or do. They said they can help me but it has to be a reciprocal relationship. I felt their sense of urgency for the earth’s health and all the animals she supports. I said I would try. They want me to get someone I know to stop using the weed killer they use as it isn’t just killing weeds but insects also. I said I would and we left it to be continued. It felt like the start of a friendship. They told me where to find them and how. Wow! I was humbled and not sure what the future holds. They didn’t mind that I wasn’t sure if I am up for the task. They just seemed happy to have started a relationship. My sense was that they aren’t getting through to many of us- to their disappointment. That was so profound and beautiful. I had been wanting to connect for years but sometimes the power of a group meditation and the confidence of an inspiring and encouraging teacher is just the catalyst one needs! Thank you so much!
