RITUALS & JOURNEYS

RITUALS

I was in my late 20s when I discovered the power of rituals. I attended a Goddess Chant workshop at a healing weekend on Hornby Island and connected with other like-minded women who welcomed me into their fold. We were a loose-knit group of women meeting for full moon and new moon rituals, taking turns invoking directions and leading the ceremony. I started reading such books as Drawing Down the Moon and The Spiral Dance and realized there were others like me! Indeed, after being a single mother for about 7 years, and channeling what I could call my spiritual practice into my parenting, this period reconnected me to experiences I had as an emancipated teenager in Montreal where I was initiated into the Tarot, Astrology, Gnosticism, the Cabbalah and Tantric practices.

 

Since then, I have led ceremonies at intentional events and festivals, held sacred space at harm reduction zones, and shared rituals with various people from different traditions on and off for many yeaes. I also ran a monthly women’s circle in Victoria for a full year.

JOURNEYS

Another modality I explored and developed over the course of my practice is to use what I call “journeys”. This is a modality that lives at the intersection of Applied Meditation and shamanic work. I use the word “shamanic” carefully as an adjective for lack of a better word. I spent a few years working with a practitioner from the Mystery School and not in any way connected to indigenous practices or what is often called “the Red Road”.

 

I learned to do extractions and soul retrievals, and over the years, have led many guided visualisation journeys in various contexts. I usually plot a kind of map for myself so I know some of the key elements I want to use – a meadow, a portal, an ocean shore, or an inner castle – but I always leave room for spontaneity and channeling in the moment as the magic usually flows through us and can often create much better journeys than our minds alone.  I have some tried and true journeys I can record for specific needs like planting an inner garden or protecting your home or workplace from unwanted energies. I can also create bespoke journeys on request.
