Listen to the podcast where Brenda explores ‘What Makes Her Come Alive?’ - Giving and receiving love, hugs, generosity, forgiveness. The power of circle, and of holding space to witness each other's stories. Partnering with our relatives, human and otherwise, in personal and collective healing. The natural world and how trees, the earth, animals, and sacred waters teach and ground her.
If you are moving into a new home or office, or are feeling difficult or challenging energies in your home, we can design a blessing ceremony to cleanse the energies present there, and set intentions for the positive energy you wish to create there.
Regular spiritual cleansings of homes are also important to create a positive home environment, remove physical and emotional clutter, and to remove negative and unwanted vibrations.
A home cleansing ceremony is typically between 1.5 to 2 hours, and includes:
-opening altar and circle ceremony with those in the home
-intention setting for energies you wish to release from your home, and intentions you are calling in together
-working with sacred plants, salt, roses, and sound healing to move negative/stagnant energy in the home, and to bring in positive energies
-training in energetic practices to maintain good energy in your home
