CREATING SACRED SPACE AND CEREMONY FOR YOUR ANIMAL’S TRANSITION
In honour to all our animal friends that are known and unknown who have journeyed home and to Tunkasila, my heart, soul and now spirit friend who transitioned on 17 March 2022. This service I offer is for you and because of you.
Coming soon…
When did we stop being in ceremony with death?
When did we become so afraid?
When did we stop holding sacred space for the dying?
When did we stop beautifying death?
How can we return to this place of being in ceremony and holding sacred space for an animal friend that is soon to transition?
How can we hold death from a place of love and peace?
When an animal’s soul is ready to leave their physical body it can be almost unbearable for their guardian. Each and everyone will process differently the experience of no longer having their animal friend with them in physical form.
How can we prepare our animal friend for this journey?
How can we prepare ourselves?
How can we prepare space and make it sacred, ready for our animal friend to transition?
What are we missing?
We can often feel so empty and incomplete when our animal friend transitions. This is not only because of the physical presence and relationship we miss when our animal friend is no longer with us. It is also because, on a spiritual and soul level, we somehow sense that the death of our animal friend is incomplete, like something is missing.
It is the sacred space and ceremony that is missing. It is the honouring of your animal friend’s soul back to spirit that is missing. It is preparing space and healing for yourself that is missing.
It is the spiritual side of death and dying that is missing and, in my own way, I offer how to fall in love with the spirit of death so that you feel more accepting and welcoming when Great Spirit calls the soul of your animal friend to return home. It may just be that the spirit of death comes as a message for you too.
I currently offer individual soul sessions (can we have this as a connected link to soul sessions) for animals that are soon to transition, where we explore what the soul of the animal would like as a ceremony and sacred space for when this time comes.
However, I want to offer something that goes deeper and allows you, your animal’s guardian, to explore and create a sacred space and ceremony for them and yourself.
It is through the loss of my own dog, Tunkasila, and the ceremony and space that was created for her own transitioning that has brought this course together. I believe that holding her transitioning in such a way allowed for me to be at peace with this and for the grief to move through me, rather than be held within me. It allowed me to truly see the beauty in death and how we can make death beautiful for our animal friend. Rather than being filled with despair and deep heartache, I was filled with love, beauty and a new way of being in relationship with Tunkasila. She continues to guide me and speak to me.
In this course you will explore:
- The spiritual journey of death
- What death can teach us
- What our animal friend can teach us at this life cycle (acceptance, trust, present moment)
- Setting up sacred space for your animal’s transition
- Preparing yourself in a spiritual way for your animal’s transition (physical body; movement; soul; fears)
- Creating ceremony for your animal’s transition
- What to do after your animal’s transition
- Staying connecting with the spirit that was your animal friend, once they have transitioned
- Holding an anniversary
- Aftercare for yourself
- Plant spirit allies to support you
- Messages from your animal friend; what do they wish to share to you?
