Step Into Sacred Ceremony and Transformation
Our animal friends are asking us to “Return to Ceremony!”
They are inviting us to open our hearts, enter sacred ground and make contact with soul, more than human and the unseen. Ceremony allows us to feel, heal and remember the divine expression of consciousness we and all life is in our co-existence at this time with our animal friends.
We are sacred and ceremonial beings by nature. Your soul longs for ceremony, connection and community.
These ceremonial offerings invite you into deep connection, medicine, receiving and conversation with spirit consciousness and transformation through ritual, ancient practices, honouring and entering sacred.
Your animal freind has never left this space of sacerd ground…but we did. We must open our hearts, remember soul and our place in this great mysterious weave of life that we are but one thread in the fabric of.
Whether you are seeking a grief ceremony to honour and heal from your animal friend’s transition, wish to explore and return to living from your sacred circle, embark on a Vision Quest for deep clarity and purpose, be in deep Conversations with Fire as powerful rites of passage, renew your connection and life through a renewal lodge, immerse yourself with plant spirit consciousness or begin softly through journeying circles, light language bathing and channelling, these ceremonies offer profound expereinecs for self-discovery, healing and soul contact.
Guided by our animal freinds, spirit, nature and the unseen, each offering is a space to reconnect with yourself, your journey, and the sacred in all things.

Conversations with Fire & Firewalk
We all face challenges in our life and it can be said that these are the real fire walks of our life. We can be with these real fires in a medicine way and explore with sacred how we can move, transform, give warmth to and receive teachings from these fires that we walk upon – trauma, pain, challenges, grief, wounds, mental or physical anguish.
Our body is the temple in which these fires are held. When the fire within matches the fire without we are able to hold these fires we face in a way that is steady, calm and transforming – we are ble to witness these fires burn out so that we do not.
In Conversations with Fire you enter ceremony with yourself and connecting with the power of spirit fire, Grandfather fire, to welcome your own spirit fire home – the spirit fire that burns within you. Allow the fire you walk upon to transform, awaken, unearth and feel those parts of yourself that have been laying dormant, silent and un-noticed as you give heat to these parts that are within you and dampen down the fires that have consumed you.
The ceremony continues out on the land and being in ceremony with fire itself and entering a sacred conversation with it for what you wish to speak, declare and ask for and for what the fire knows you need – he is the teacher.
Declare who you are by walking the fire and what you can overcome and achieve after reclaiming who you are with an arrow break.

Plant Spirit Immersion & Grief Ritual: Cacao Master Plant Teacher
Online, In person & 1-1 available
Be with the Grandmothers ~ Release Grief ~ Soften the sorrows of your Heart
Cacoa is alive, she is a living being, an incredible teacher and a master plant spirit. She is soft, subtle, smooth but powerful – she knows exactly where to pour her soft voice of medicine song and work its way in your body, landing in to your soul.
Cacao has a way of bringing light to the darkest spaces, to the darkness of shadows within us and where the light may have gone out. She has a way of softening the parts of self that have become hardened, bringing trust, reassurance and an overwhelming sense of “all is well.” Her presence is cathartic, you can’t not trust her.
Cacao is glorious medicine and often underrated, over-used and abused. She has much to offer but asks for respect and, when meeting her, to do so in a respectful way and the space you are meeting.
The way that Cacao invites me to work with her, to share with others, to speak of her and what she offers me is her ability to soften grief. She just knows how and where to move in the body to meet the consciousness of grief we carry inside of us, what to say, how to soothe and hold this grief so that it can feel softer, feel less, feel removed – even if just a little.
The song she carries from the spirits of the lands where she resides, the voices of her people, the sounds of the animals and the presence of her spirit is all there available for you to drink and receive.
Cacao offers herself to you to support you and comfort your grief and sorrows of the heart. This is not the only medicine she carries, but is how she and I work together with her medicine.
If you wish to explore a meeting with her, I offer 1-1 cacao immersions online, in person as well as online group immersions.
In keeping with my integrity and respect through reciprocity, my relationship with cacao is that of Cacao Chuncho and I only work with her, through my soul lineage teacher who has a long generational relationship with cacao where it has been running in her blood through many ancestors and where she knows the lands, the people, the spirits and the cacao farmer well. It is a blessing when such beautiful medicine wishes to travel to be in our hands and hearts, but we do not take. We hold respect, honour and appreciation for who cacao is, all involved and endured for her to travel to us. Cacao wishes to be with us for she knows we are hurting and she can support, but she also asks to be recognised, valued and held in gratitude for the master plant teacher she is. If we do not respect her, then we do not know her and her medicine will be nothing but a nice or pleasant experience.

I value the sacredness of these sessions and the space we enter when in conversation with consciousness.
Please note that whilst I am trained and experienced in shamanic practices, techniques and therapies I am not a health practitioner or therapist, so this does not replace any professional medical or psychotherapeutic diagnosis or treatment.
These sessions with consciousness can add valuable insight to your situation, existence with your dog and exploring your own soul consciousness to trust and call upon as guidance as you navigate your way through life with your canine friend.
