Preparation

Before the Circle Gathers
"Every journey begins long before the circle gathers."

The preparation is part of the ceremony, a time to quiet the noise of daily life, cleanse the body, and open the heart. In the days leading up to your workshop, you are already entering sacred space. The energy begins to stir, the body begins to listen, and the soul starts to prepare for what is to come.

This stage is an invitation to slow down, simplify, and align yourself with intention.

As you release distractions, nourish yourself gently, and honor your body with clean food and rest, you signal to your spirit that you are ready to receive. Preparation is not about restriction, but devotion, an act of love toward yourself and the work you are about to do.

Each small choice you make before arriving, from what you eat to the thoughts you entertain, becomes part of your ceremony. The more you prepare with mindfulness, the deeper your presence and the more graceful your experience will be.

Ask yourself
these three questions.

As you ready your body and mind, reflect on your intention. Each question below is a doorway into your ceremony.

?

What am I seeking?

What draws you here at this moment in your life? What are you hoping to find, feel, or understand more deeply?

What am I ready to release?

What patterns, beliefs, or emotions are you willing to let go of? What have you been carrying that no longer belongs to you?

What am I calling in?

What new way of being are you ready to welcome? What does the life you wish to live feel like, and who will you become?

Six ways to arrive ready.

Each small act of preparation becomes part of the ceremony itself. Honor these days as sacred time.

01
🌿

Nourish Your Body

In the days before the workshop, eat lightly and cleanly. Favor whole foods, vegetables, and gentle nourishment. Avoid heavy meats, processed foods, and alcohol. Your body is preparing to be a clear vessel.

Rest & Sleep Well

Prioritize deep, restorative sleep in the nights leading up to the workshop. Rest is not passive — it is an active preparation of the nervous system. The more rested you arrive, the more receptive you will be.

Limit Distractions

Reduce screen time, social media, and unnecessary noise in the days before. Create a quiet space in your schedule. Let the mind begin to settle so it arrives clear and ready to receive what the ceremony has to offer.

Set Your Intention

Spend time journaling or sitting in stillness with your three questions: what you are seeking, what you are releasing, and what you are calling in. Write it down. Let the intention live in your body, not just your mind.

05
🌳

Spend Time in Nature

Walk barefoot on the earth. Sit near water. Breathe outdoor air. Nature has a way of reminding the body that it belongs to something larger. Even brief moments outside can shift your energy in profound ways.

06
🤍

Arrive with Openness

Come without a fixed agenda for what must happen. Release expectations and simply let yourself be present. Openness is the most powerful preparation of all — it creates space for grace to enter.

"The more you prepare with mindfulness, the deeper and more graceful your experience will be."

Come
light and
ready.

After the workshop

Comfortable clothing

Loose, layered clothing you can move, rest, and feel at ease in. You may be lying down or sitting for extended periods.

A blanket or shawl

Body temperature can shift during the ceremony. Having something warm and familiar to wrap yourself in can be deeply comforting.

A journal and pen

Writing after the ceremony helps anchor insights before they fade. Bring something you enjoy writing in — make it feel sacred.

Water and light snacks

Stay gently hydrated. Light snacks for the integration period: fruit, nuts, or something gentle on the body.

An open heart

This is the most important thing you can bring. Leave expectations at the door and arrive simply willing to receive.

Your written intention

If you've done the intention work beforehand, bring it with you. Your words become part of the ceremonial space.
