“Reflect in nature - with the elements, rocks and horses”
Based on the collective input of the group, we co-create a ritual that facilitates a shift in consciousness and a healing movement for the client. This process allows for old stories to dissolve, lost soul parts to be embraced, stuck energy to be released, and identity to be transformed. As a result, you gain more manifesting power to direct towards your authentic visions.
​
SACRED CEREMONY
In Ceremony, the ordinary becomes Sacred.
It is the marking of a special occasion whether this is a blessing, a release ceremony or a celebration. As we gather in ceremony, witnessing and holding each other in our compassionate hearts, we open the space for healing to occur.
By opening all our senses and connecting to Nature, the Elements and all the seen and unseen forces that protect us, we call in the support for our unique journey. Being in Sacred Ceremony offers deep healing, personal growth, and a profound sense of purpose, fostering deep personal and communal connections.
It facilitates inner transformation and encourages us to create a reality that reflects our Soul Purpose, knowing that by following our heart's call, we are serving the dreams of our ancestors, the community at large and our descendants. Joining in sacred ceremony is honouring the divine stream of life.
AWAKEN YOUR HEALING POWER
Dutch adventurers, Sjoukje Gummels and Sandra Jelly, share a longing to guide you to a deeper connection with the spiritual world and the wisdom of nature, it's animals, stones and elements. To create space that allows for gentle yet powerful healing, expression of your truest being and thus to encourage to transform your reality. Each in their own divine way. They invite you on an unforgettable journey into the vastness and stillness of Southern Jordan to awaken your intrinsic healing power and source of inner wisdom. If you feel called to expand your awareness, heal wounds and transform your reality then join us.
