This journey is for the stout hearted and deeply sincere person who is searching for a ceremony to transform Body, Mind, and Soul.
This journey is for those who need a demarcation in their lives. It can support you to acknowledge and release traumas and grief, or to help you gather strength and wisdom as you prepare for a new challenge in life.
This ceremony offers deep personal support so you can form the most honest intention and ask yourself the most searching questions. This journey reaches deep to expose what you truly long for.
