🌀 The Spiral of Belonging • Ceremony 1 of 4A seasonal journey inspired by Joanna Macy's Work That Reconnects.
Together we remember what sustains us, honour what breaks our hearts, rediscover our place in the wider web of life, and find the courage to participate in creating the future we long for.
Through ecstatic dance, breathwork, meditation, cacao ceremonies, storytelling, and shared reflection, we cultivate a deeper sense of belonging to ourselves, each other, and the living world.
✨ Each ceremony stands on its own, while together they form a journey through gratitude, grief, interconnection, and active hope. Whether this is your first step or one of many, you are warmly welcome.
As summer slowly gives way to autumn, we gather to remember what already nourishes us.
Gratitude is more than a feeling—it is a practice of seeing clearly and appreciating life while we have it. Together we honour the people, places, and experiences that have shaped us, allowing gratitude to strengthen our roots and deepen our sense of belonging.
Through movement, breathwork, cacao, storytelling, and shared reflection, we slow down, reconnect, and remember that even in uncertain times, there is much that continues to sustain us.
Practising gratitude has been shown to support well-being and resilience—but perhaps its greatest gift is reminding us what we love, and therefore what we choose to care for.

💛A small note
Over the past few years these ceremonies have continued to grow in depth, care, and the time they require to create. To keep offering this work in a way that is sustainable—for myself, my family, and this growing community—I have adjusted the ticket prices for this season.
Thank you for making this work possible.
