Ceremony

When Life Invites You Into Something New

Every transition carries sacred power. A ceremony session creates space for Spirit to enter so we can move through life’s thresholds with clarity and grace, together. Ceremony helps you to honor yourself through the expansion, the release, and the reweaving of your own story.

All ceremonies are offered remotely, creating sacred space across distance. You may choose to meet live over video or receive a ceremony that I curate for you to hold in your own space and time — whichever form feels most supportive for you.

Each ceremony is uniquely curated to meet you in your moment, a personalized experience designed to reconnect you with your deeper knowing. Sessions last 2–3 hours and begin with sage, prayer, and sound to clear the energy and open sacred space.

From there, I guide you into a relaxed, meditative state, where your conscious mind softens and the body’s wisdom can rise to the surface. You’ll be supported to access what’s ready to shift, release, or integrate.

Depending on your intention, types of ceremony may include:

  • Soul Retrieval 

  • Energy clearing and cord-cutting to release what no longer serves

  • Grief and transition rites to create closure and healing

  • Heart Walk

My approach draws from shamanic mentor, naturopathic doctor, and therapist inviting Spirit with psychological and somatic integration.

Ceremony is about our presence. It’s an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate your transformation with reverence.

Who This Work Is For

Ceremony is medicine. It is for those who understand that healing and growth are inseparable — that every beginning and ending is sacred.

You might be:

  • Moving, starting a new relationship, or entering a new life chapter

  • Welcoming a birth, creative project, or spiritual awakening

  • Grieving a loss, closing a cycle, or finding your way home to yourself

  • A curious or unconventional thinker drawn to ritual as a form of healing for both self and planet

  • Someone who values meaning, integration, and right relationship with the earth and your own becoming

This work is for people who choose to meet change consciously, with heart, integrity, and intention.

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.

What Clients Are Saying

  • A sunflower with bright yellow petals facing the sun in a field of sunflowers.

    "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."

    -Trinity, Ceremony Client

  • Close-up of a white magnolia flower against a black background.

    "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. "

    -Ziona, Ceremony Client

  • Close-up of a pink water lily blooming on a pond with lily pads.

    “I’ve worked with many therapists and somatic practitioners over the past fifteen years, but Working with Afia was unique. She’s a grounded healer and channel, acting like a bring between the Divine and the Human."

    -Kinsey, Ceremony Client

  • A single pink and cream rose floating against a light sky background.

    “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.””
