SLIDING SCALE AVAILABLE

SEE BELOW for sliding scale payment options.

SPACE IS LIMITED. SLIDING SCALE AVAILABLE.

I now cap the size of my three and four-week offerings to 30 people max. My signature six-week course, Ancestors to Elements will remain a larger, comprehensive introduction to my work (registration opens in September for the October/November session). Multiple times a year, I will lead shorter, more intimate series like this.

I have set a sliding scale so those who are able to pay more can help balance the lower end. The top price is listed above. See below for other payment options.

SESSIONS WILL BE RECORDED. LIVE ATTENDANCE IS EXPECTED.

Life brings constant change: big moves, tiny steps, starting relationships, ending partnerships, welcoming children, emptying the nest... new projects, new careers, new ventures, retirment, peri/menopause, sexual awakenings, old stages, new phases... fomenting transformation, inciting revolution!





When we resist change, suffering happens. When we soulfully flow with the cycles of change, we help shape the change we desire.

Life is a continuous cycle of change. And change is both happening and needed in our world now more than ever.  Rituals help us in creating a sacred relationship to change. 



Rituals are a fundamental part of the human experience. All people engage rituals: small children and top athletes, spiritually inclined and not.

And rituals work! Studies consistently show that rituals improve outcomes. They increase confidence and decrease anxiety. They help us savor experience and promote interconnection. And like, placebos (which originate in and are full of rituals), rituals involve mystery.

In this series, we will spend 3 weeks exploring change through intention, ritual & ceremony. 



We will spend the first week investigating the power of intention, identifying the specific change we'd like to address and crafting unique intentions for a sacred relationship to this change. Whether unbidden or called-in, we will engage this change soulfully, with care, reverence, and faith.


The second week, we will explore rituals both as the regular habits, practices, and routines of minute changes and as the special reminders we use to consecrate life-changes. We will each explore ancestral ritual practices and craft a unique ritual for the change we've identified trusting the power of life beyond the rational. β€¨

Ceremonies are special moments we create to acknowledge, celebrate, or consecrate. The final session will include a synchronous ceremony where we each engage our change ritual (off camera and muted) and share in the power of experiencing sacred change in community.

Come connect to all change as sacred!

[Please note: Although loss of life is certainly a significant life-change, this will not be specifically an exploration of grief/death. I will be offering, Let It All Out!,  my course on grief & mourning again next year.]

What people say about my workshops/courses:

"I loved this course Sebene! It felt really soulful, aesthetically pleasing (both the music and slides), and full of brilliance."

"I have so much appreciation for the way that you craft and curate both your teaching and the resources that you share. The journal prompts got me to turn towards some parts of me that need more attention."

"Sebene, You are a bright light of love and inspiration! I loved: you showing up on the computer screen, moving to the music, giving us music to guide our practice; caring feedback to each and everyone; the notions page for easy access to resources; the repetition of the honorings and blessings; summary, recap of the essence of the teachings between lessons, to help connect the threads."

"I loved the spaciousness with which you hold space... I love how much YOU are in it. It's definitely not a pass through of generic teaching transmission. It is SO YOU and, at the same time, so expansively welcoming for everyone to show up as their own self."

"Sebene has a gift for creating space for exploration and acceptance, and I feel grateful to have been part of that space."

"This is one of the best one-day workshops I've ever attended. Sebene communicates so beautifully and simply."

"I would sign up for literally anything that Seb offers. This workshop helped crack through limiting assumptions about coupledom I didn't even know I had. I've been feeling more comfortable, happy, and empowered in my singleness ever since. Thank you, Seb!"
