The Art of Ceremony

Sit in circle with the medicine of women as we activate the sacred fire of the womb. Learn from the wisdom of the Dark Feminine archetype, Medusa, and re-examine your relationship to anger. Learn to see your anger in a new light by working with it as a sacred portal of information to be tended to.

 Anger/rage is often also misunderstood and vilified, especially among women. Yet anger is simply a force, much like fire. It can be used to warm us or cause destruction like what we tragically witnessed in L.A. When anger flares up, it's usually an indication of boundaries crossed and if we are willing to listen closely, we can learn a great deal from what enrages us both personally and collectively. 

This ceremony provides a safe space to work on the integration of our shadow and step into our power through the authentic exploration of sadness and rage. Leave with a new appreciation of the destructive force of the feminine cycle that makes way for the rebirth of us all.  

Your Guides will be Dana Nassau, licensed therapist of Pomegranate Psychotherapy and Shannon Nicole, Ceremonialist and Artist of Wild Heart Pilgrimage. Dana will hold the therapeutic container and insights for this transformational event.

Shannon will create the portal to do this powerful work by creating a Medusa-inspired Mandala made of natural elements. She will lead the circle in a three-part ceremony. Connect to your heart as a compassionate guide into the underworld in a wild feminine drumming circle. Tap into the raw emotions held in the womb and invite creativity as a resource through sacred self-painting. Tend to your sacred rage as fire through a candle and cleansing water ritual. Each person will leave with a Sacred Rage Ceremony Bundle to continue this practice at home.

Sit in circle with the medicine of women as we tend to the sacred fire of the womb. Re-examine your relationship to anger as you learn from the wisdom of the Dark Feminine Hindu Goddess, Kali to help us release and clear our anger. Then we will call on the Celtic Goddess, Brigid, who is honored during Imbolc in February. She will aid us in seeing our anger in a new light by working with it as a sacred portal of information to be tended to and used constructively, like fire.
