When Talking Isn’t Enough
Ceremony for people who feel pulled toward something deeper but don’t know how to reach it.
Ceremony Duration: 2–3 hours
Cost: Pricing may vary by intention or materials
Includes: Each ceremony is designed collaboratively around what you’re bringing. Sessions typically include guided preparation, shamanic and somatic practices, prayer, and time for integration so you can make sense of what you experienced and integrate it into your daily life.

When You Can’t Quite Name What’s Off
Many people who come to ceremony aren’t sure what they’re looking for, only that something feels unsettled or unfinished.
You may notice that you:
• feel pulled toward something deeper but can’t explain it
• want connection to Spirit without religion or dogma
• feel stuck in your head and cut off from your body
• sense something shifting but don’t know how to work with it
• want an experience that brings you closer to Source
Ceremony offers a sacred way to pay attention to what’s happening.
Why Ceremony Instead of More Talking
Ceremony is a practical way to work with experience beyond analysis.
Rather than staying in conversation alone, we slow down and engage what’s happening in real time using somatic awareness, shamanic practice, sound, prayer, and focused attention.
In ceremony, you begin to:
• notice what’s happening in your body
• access emotion more directly
• move through what feels stuck
• hear your own inner guidance more clearly
My approach is trauma-informed, kink-aware, LGBTQ+ supported, and safe for s3x workers and those in the erotic professions.
What We Actually Do
Each ceremony is shaped by what you’re bringing and what unfolds in the moment.
Together, we may:
• work with breath, sound, and prayer
• use guided somatic awareness and imagery
• engage ritual to support transition or completion
• journey for soul parts
People often leave feeling clearer, steadier, and more connected to themselves and Spirit.
Who This Usually Resonates With
Our ceremonies resonate with people who:
• have done therapy but want to move deeper
• desire to access feelings
• choose to connect with themselves and Spirit
• are curious about Indigenous wisdom and ancient ways to explore their inner experience
About My Spirituality
My Spirituality arises from the concept of Existential Humility.
Existential humility allows each person the opportunity to develop their own relationship with Spirit, God, Goddess, or whomever/whatever it is to which they relate. This form of Spirituality allows people to come into the folds of a Spiritual community while respecting an individual’s autonomy and allowing each person an opportunity to acquaint with a Deity.
Most humans and all spiritual seekers wonder and search for answers on these basic questions:
1) Where did I/we come from?
2) What am I, are we doing here? and
3) Where do I/we go when we die?
Existential Humility requires flexibility in our beliefs - strong like bamboo, yet able to bend rather than to break. It is not dogmatic. Instead, we are less defensive and more open to consider other points of view. It allows for a profound understanding of the limits of humankind while acknowledging the vastness of the universe. It is an experiential “religion” that fosters a sense of community with agency and within it individuals with self-agency.
There is no cult language, or cult leader. There is great potential for personal growth through shared mystical experiences and happenings of awe and wonder. Sharing our growth together fosters empathy and compassion and the acknowledgement of our shared human vulnerabilities.
And to further this discussion: It isn’t the thinking material of my brain that only matters. It is the energetic, the intuitive, the ineffable sensation of knowing when you have been in the presence of a Great Mystery. I know through my journeys and ceremonies that something great exists beyond me and that I am connected to and part of this great expansive existence.
I am made of star dust, just like every single bit of matter on this sweet Earth. This proven fact from NASA, aligns me with the relationship of science and the Earth as my motherland.
I also have been privileged to learn from my teachers Char Sundust and her mother Matilda Laughing Waters. They each have been active in Lakota teachings and with those tribes permissions they can share their learnings with others. The Lakota ways I have learned easily meld with Existential Humility and with loving and respecting the Earth as our mother. I have learned many teachings that support and inform my work as an Earth-loving elder, leader, shamanic practitioner, healer and mentor.

"Through my work with Afia, life is now exponentially easier to navigate. It is as if I’ve gained a pair of truth goggles, discerning with greater clarity when and how to share what I see with the world."

"After the tragic death of a dear friend, I came to Afia to do a ceremonial session. Afia created a space that allowed me to move beneath my heartbreak and access the deeper wisdom of my body. That in and of itself was so healing, as grief is an emotion that often puts my body into alarm. It can be flooding, and I shut down. But with her presence and guidance, I was able to soften and move into my grief with a lot of grace and sovereignty. I felt powerful, even while sitting with an emotion that historically leaves me feeling impotent. "

“Afia listened beyond my words - she heard my heart and my energy. It was masterful, really. Her reflections were precise, healing, and often infused with just the right touch of playfulness. Even months later, the session continues to guide me. It has been a lantern through my big emotions. It reconnected me to the deeper Self within that knows “All is well.””
