Medicine Journey: Healing in Community Healing is not a solo journey - all of us require connection, support and accountability to keep us moving in the right direction.

Empower Yourself: By becoming your own healer. We will give you the tools, insights, and confidence to navigate your healing path long after the ceremony itself. Be Part of a Framework for Growth: You’ll join a micro-community that extends beyond the ceremony, offering support, accountability, and resources to keep you grounded, inspired and moving forward. What’s Included: Pre-Ceremony Preparation: Participate in a group call to set intentions, open up, and connect with your fellow participants. Learn how to prepare to get the most out of your medicine journey.

You will receive a link to book this call upon booking. The Ceremony: Step into a safe, sacred space for healing in a small group ceremony, where you’ll be supported yet empowered to work by taking your intention directly to the medicine. Integration and Ongoing Support: After the ceremony, you’ll receive a comprehensive guide, join a follow-up call, and continue to thrive as part of a micro-community hub designed to keep you on track.

Medicine Journey: Women's Ceremony There is something powerful that happens when women gather together to heal. We live in a world that constantly asks us to speed up, toughen up, and disconnect from ourselves and from each other. This ceremony is a chance to slow down and come back to who you were before a lifetime of conditioning. Through a guided inner journey with the medicine, you’ll reconnect with your body’s wisdom, your own rhythm, and the deeper truth that’s been there all along. What Makes This Different: Harness the Power of the Feminine: By journeying as part of a small group, you’ll discover how connection and mutual support amplify the transformative potential of your journey.

Empower Yourself: By becoming your own healer. We will give you the tools, insights, and confidence to navigate your healing path long after the ceremony itself.
