Weaving Roots.
Paths through celebration, gathering, and transmutation.
Ceremonies, Communities, and Conversations for those Seeking Wholeness.
We believe that sustaining space for reverence, connection, and personal reclaimation is how we preserve our humanity.
Ceremonies
Sacred moments that mark transitions, honor relationships, and create intentional space for what matters most. Not just weddings and funerals, but the everyday rituals that shape us—commitment ceremonies to ourselves, agreements between friends, marking seasons of grief or joy, blessing new beginnings.
Who
Anyone ready to mark a transition, honor a relationship, or create sacred space
What
Self-commitment ceremonies, relationship agreements, grief rituals, blessing ceremonies, seasonal transitions
When
Life transitions, relationship milestones, healing moments, new beginnings
Why
Because our most important moments deserve to be held with intention and reverence
Conversations
The art of creating space where one's own truth can be spoken and respected, even if not completely heard. One-on-one spiritual companionship that helps people find their way back to themselves or forward into who they're becoming.
Who
Seeking spiritual companionship, folks navigating transitions, those who want to deepen in relationship with themselves, folks called to explore ancestry or healing journey
What
One-on-one, Liberation Genealogy sessions, accountability and grace work, herbal tea ceremonies, support during hard transitions, help find your way back to you
When
During major life transitions, spiritual awakening moments, times of loss or grief, feeling disconnected from self, while on healing journey, or self exploration
Why
We are the experts of our own lives but sometimes need a spiritual companion to help us remember who we are, honor where we've come from, and step into who we're becoming
Communities
Your constellation of care philosophy in action—helping groups weave their own silk ribbon hammocks of support. Building containers where people can show up authentically, practice accountability with grace, and hold each other's becoming.
Who
Organizations, friend groups, families, spiritual communities, workplace teams
What
Facilitation, conflict mediation, relationship building, sacred agreements, accountability practices, apologies, do [less] harm
When
During transitions, conflicts, growth periods, or when wanting to deepen connection
Why
Because we heal in relationship and community is how we become our fullest selves
Partners
We are grateful for the partnerships that enable our work and amplify our impact.
These long-standing collaborators share our commitment to creating spaces for healing, connection, and transformation.
