“There is a deep longing among people in the West to connect with something bigger — with community and spirit. People know there is something missing in their lives, and believe that the rituals and ancient ways of the village offer some answers.” — Sobonfu Somé

A Year in Ceremony is for those who acutely sense the lack of soul within our culture and who long to recover a more beautiful way of being human together.  

Intuitively, you know that reclaiming a sensual life of deep ritual is key to nourishing your soul and serving the regeneration of culture. Perhaps you also feel called into the role of sacred space holder, ritualist, activist, healer, or priestess, in service to your community, clients, or family. And given the complex legacies of colonization and the lack of resonant modeling, you likely feel a bit awkward and even weary as you seek to embody this role with authenticity and integrity.  

If you feel this calling and long for your gifts to grow and mature in ways that are deeply-rooted and profoundly potent, A Year in Ceremony offers you a lovingly-held apprenticeship and inspirited practice ground.
