Usually 60 to 90 minutes long, we start in the parlour (or outer sanctum) by settling into the present moment, tuning in to how it is to be now, noticing our sensations, emotions, thoughts and energies, and letting them settle... or reveal themselves.

 

We explore a dialogue about what it is that brings you here today, and what you bring here today… what it is to exist and how we may be able to be with it in a way that can be more supportive of resolving or balancing these uncomfortable energies, so we can feel deeper into peace and joy.

 

I offer an opportunity to be with the energy that is uncomfortable (it’s usually called trauma or wound or suffering) and give it room to reveal itself, to share its story, sing its song, display its dance.  

 

I notice and offer possibilities of engagement and interaction, reinterpretations and clarifications of the relationship you share with it...  How to be with it in a different way.  

 

At some stage, the session moves into the Medicine Room (or inner sanctum), where we can be more present with the energy that is revealing itself, and using the various medicines gathered over years (over lifetimes) of study and practice, we interact with it and support it to transform (heal) into a more beautiful and harmonious energy.  

 

The session or ceremony concludes, as such, with karakia, and we return into our more normal state of consciousness, more embodied and alive, spacious and relaxed, and emerge into the regular world, invigorated, refreshed, lighter.
