Rites of Passage

Globally, one of the shaman’s most important roles is that of spiritual midwife. At pivotal times throughout an individual’s life, the shaman provides knowledge, guidance, and ceremony to facilitate the delicate transformation from one phase of life into the next.

At Spirit Hollow, we seek to continue this tradition by offering a variety of rites of passage:

Baby Blessings – welcoming new souls and blessing them with spirit and nature in a circle of family and friends.

Coming of Age Cemeronies – ritualizing the passage from childhood into adulthood for young people.

Weddings/Civil Unions – working with the couple to design a ceremony that reflects their unique spirituality.

Vision Quests – spending four days and nights alone on the mountain “crying for a vision that the people may live.” Three days are spent before and after at Spirit Hollow preparing first for separation and then for reintegration. Summers.

Women’s Transformational Quest – A spiritual workshop for women. Carve out a powerful week in the summer to experience the depths of your soul in a safe circle of sisters in the loving embrace of Spirit Hollow, in a transformational, 8-day process healing old wounds, transmuting fears, and releasing out-worn patterns to step fully into our truest power and soul light.
