Rites of Passage: Honoring Life’s Sacred Moments

MAKE LIFE’S THRESHOLDS SACRED — EMBRACE BIRTH, TRANSFORMATION, CELEBRATION IN SHAMANIC CEREMONY

In a world where sacred gatherings are often forgotten, our bespoke circles invite you to reclaim the power of ceremony.

These gatherings are spiritual in nature—rooted in intention and heart, yet not tied to any specific religion or dogma. They are created as sacred spaces for deep connection, just as our ancestors once did—coming together in shamanic ceremony, and in unity to honor and celebrate someone we love.

Whether it’s a Rite of Passage to honor yourself and a new beginning, a Bridal Circle to bless a couple or bride-to-be with love and wisdom, a Baby Blessing Ceremony to welcome a new soul, or a Sacred Baby Shower that goes beyond tradition into heartfelt, spiritual celebration—each shamanic ceremony is crafted to bring your community together in a meaningful, soulful way.

Every ceremony is lovingly tailored to your unique intentions, creating a nurturing space that reflects your personal values and beliefs. You can expect an atmosphere filled with warmth, presence, and intentional rituals that bring us closer together—reminding us of the ancient ways of gathering in support, love, and unity.

These sacred containers are an invitation to pause, connect, and celebrate life’s most tender transitions — surrounded by those who matter most.

We create powerful ceremonies that honor both the individual and the collective. Through connection and ritual, we transform these moments into something truly sacred.

Rites of Passage are ways of honoring special moments in life—rites rooted in ancient, earth-based traditions.

These ceremonies are a way to pause, celebrate, and mark a transition in a sacred, intentional way — just like our ancestors once did.

Whether it’s becoming a bride, stepping into motherhood, blessing a new baby, or honoring a birthday, these rites are not initiations — they are celebrations of life’s natural thresholds.

Shamanic initiations, like the Munay-Ki Rites or the Rite of the Womb are energetic transmissions passed from shamanic practitioner to initiate.

They come from lineages of wisdom keepers and are offered to those who feel called to deepen their spiritual path, expand their energy field, and work consciously with the forces of nature and the unseen world.

For example:

The Munay-Ki Rites are a series of initiations for those who want to walk the path of Andean shamanism, working with the elements and archetypes to grow their rainbow body.

The Rite of the Womb is a sacred transmission of feminine healing energy, passed through a lineage of medicine women to support the restoration of balance in the womb and the earth.

What’s the difference between Rites of Passage and Shamanic Initiations?

  • “Vanessa supported me with a Rite of Passage ceremony that was instrumental is shifting my relationship with dependency on certain plants in my day to day life. This ceremony was supportive of honoring the role this plant played in my life with reverence while also re-patterning and rebirthing me through the limpia into a new cycle. I felt truly transported into a healing realm and emerged lighter, more present and committed to my path. I highly recommend this session for anyone struggling with addiction, codependency or feel like they need to reclaim their womb and rebirth themselves into a new chapter.

  • “Last night was so unbelievably special! My favorite part was creating the beautiful Ofrenda together- and getting to touch it and bathe in the beauty of it afterwards along with the other sisters of our circle. But I also must mention the relaxing sound bath at the end- a feeling of self love grew within me during it and I left with my heart full. Thank you again!!!!”
