Ceremony for Transitions
Ceremonies are great for acknowledging the past, listening to the present and birth a desired future. If you are in a transition right now, a ceremony tailered specifically to you can be very beneficial! My approach is playful, loving and creative and always oriented to you. No prior experience needed!

THIS IS MY BODY - LIVE RECORDED PODCAST AND POETRY EVENT
Join us for "This Is My Body," a powerful evening of poetry and conversation hosted by The Communion Podcast. The event will feature the podcast's hosts—Katerina Jeng, Mercedez Davis, and Pedro Senhorinha Silva—along with special guest poet Almina M. Hodek.
Through their poetry, they will explore themes of embodied spirituality, grounded in their lived experiences as Immigrant, Black, Asian, and People of Color, as well as their diverse gender identities and expressions. Following the readings, the hosts will engage in a live, recorded conversation on how these identities shape their spiritual journeys, offering profound reflections on living an embodied spiritual journey. This event will be live recorded for the Communion Podcast.
