"Strangers are friends you haven't met yet." - William Yeats

Ciao Bella!

Sacred Art & Ceremony

Humans need ritual & ceremony to create meaning

The world is rapidly changing, and many people, including myself, have left organized religion. 


Change can be incredibly liberating and profoundly unsettling.


I believe that when we outgrow the old structures that provided containers for us to celebrate birth, death, and all the pain and pleasure in between, we have to create new rituals that meet the moment.


Humans need ritual and ceremony to create meaning and to remember what is truly important to us. One of the oldest archeological findings was a flower ceremony for a burial. 


I am not a birth doula or a death doula. 

I am a LIFE DOULA. 

The world is in labor, 

and I am a midwife of the moment.


From my own  journey out of the church, out of ministry, out of patriarchal religion, I have woven a tapestry of nature-centered, ancient wisdom traditions to meet modern times into my work of creating ceremony for life's important moments.


For all the PLEASURABLE moments that need celebrating, like birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers, first menses, weddings, anniversaries, pilgrimages, promotions and the like.


And for all the PAINFUL moments that need honoring like divorce, empty-nest, menopause, chronic or terminal illness, living funerals, and death.


I am your Ceremonial Artist and Wisdom Weaver, here to mark the moment with the beauty it deserves.


Contact me to discuss how we can create a meaningful experience for your special moment.

    My name Shannon, is the derived from the Celtic Goddess, Sionnan, who was known for her self-sacrificing pursuit of wisdom.


    Shannon also comes from the word seanchaidh, which means “skilled storyteller" who were carriers of the oral traditions of the Celts, who created, memorized, shared, passed on, and put into to song the legends of their ancestors.


    Over the last decade I have been reconnecting to my Celtic and Norse ancestral practices, creating a blend of ancient wisdom for the modern need for ceremony and ritual.


    My art is my song to the world and the way I pass on the wisdom of ancestors.

    I have traveled to 25+ countries across the globe, studied abroad in Europe, taught abroad in Asia.


    I enjoyed a camel caravan pilgrimage in India, 

    a the divine feminine walking pilgrimage in France, 

    and ancestral pilgrimages in Ireland, Iceland and England.


    I plan to finish walking the Camino de Santiago when I turn 50 and would love to continue pilgrimage journey's across the globe.

    I'm new to Human Design, but find it to be a really interesting way of understanding energetics.


    In this system, I am a 1/3 Splenic Manifestor. I rely heavily on my intuition to guide me. I am a curious soul who loves to go down esoteric rabbit holes and learn thru life experiences.

    In this system, I am a 1/3 Splenic Manifestor. I rely heavily on my intuition to guide me. I am a curious soul who loves to go down esoteric rabbit holes and learn thru life experiences.


    Manifestors are also said to sense astrological shifts before they occur. This has definitely been the case for me. One might say I was born to study magic, astrology and all things esoteric, since I was born on January 6th, Epiphany when it is said that "Wise Men" came following a star.  In pre-Christian traditions, it was called the Magic Night which celebrated the mystical power of women.


    In 2025, I started the Creative Coven. A group of women weaving wonder and wisdom in wild times.

    I am a Capricorn Sun but I don't relate with traditional views of the Capricorn energy but I do relate the Sea Goats ability to scale the heights and then swim to the depths with its mermaid tale. I most identify with my Scorpio Moon and 

    Sagittarius North Node. I am also very interested in the Asteroid Goddess Mythology.

    Chinese Astrology has been one of my favorite self-discovery tools for the last decade. I really love the way the animal archetypes of the Chinese Zodiac reveal aspects of self in a more objective manner. It also provides a fantastic framework for understanding the overlying energy of the year. I think of Western astrology like your lines in a movie and Chinese Astrology is like knowing the film you are in each year. The Chinese Elemental Wheel is such a powerful tool to understand the underlying Energy we are bringing to our environment.


    In Chinese Astrology, I am a Wood Tiger.

    In 2018, I became a certified 200hr. trauma-informed Yoga Instructor. I've dabbled in Ayurvedic studies and would love to dive deeper.


    I'd also like to deepen my practice by learning how to teach Yin Yoga in the coming years.

    Energetic Enneagram

    I teach the Energetic Enneagram that aligns with the chakras. It's a somatic way of using the system and is closer to the Eastern/Esoteric origins of the tool.


    In this system, I am

    Ego: #7 (throat chakra)

    Wing: #8 (third eye chakra)

    Essence: #5 (heart chakra)

    Growth: #1 (root chakra)

    Intuitive Collage

    Energetic Enneagram

    Intuitive Collage

    Creating collages is one of my spiritual practices. All the artwork on my site is from my journey of self-discovery. I often incorporate collage and oracle card making into my events as a way of working with one's inner landscape.


    I am very interested in all things tarot and am currently being mentored by San Diego's premier Tarot Reader, Hisa.

    Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.
