from Higher Self Mastery · host Dharmi Schumacher

Before you sit in ceremony, know what to look for, what to trust, and when to walk away.As summer begins, more workshops, retreats, circles and ceremonies start to appear. You may feel curious about stepping into one for yourself.But you may also feel unsure.Are ceremonies just a bit woo woo?What actually happens in one?How do you know if a space is safe?What should you look for in a facilitator?And what if nothing dramatic happens?In this episode, I share a fresh, honest reflection on ceremony, intention, facilitator safety, intuition and the many ways we can return home to ourselves.This is not about pushing you into any particular experience. It is an invitation to feel more informed, more discerning and more confident if you ever feel called to sit in ceremony yourself.Because ceremony is not about becoming more spiritual.It is about creating a safe and intentional container where something can soften, shift, release, or simply be witnessed without needing to force a breakthrough.Local to Leicestershire?
