“Staci holds sacred space better that anyone I have ever experienced.”

— Greta V.

Ceremony catapults transformation

Ceremony is a sacred spiritual experience which facilitates healing and transformation.

From all directions, practicing ceremony illuminates whatever is on the edge of your awareness, often bringing realizations front and center.

Ceremony can be a cauldron that holds your healing. An alchemical process that reflects, heightens and initiates your next level of development.

Ceremony schools you in sacred relationship. With yourself. Others. The mystery. Your daily life.

Ceremony held with love, integrity and experience can birth a whole new way of being. It’s a way to practice working with your own subtle energy. It can show you how to move through life differently.

One ceremony held well with integrative support can be worth months and more of personal process work.

Ceremony calls upon the guardianship of the elemental directions and all the helping spirits to hold a basket of potential. So that only the energy for our highest good with the clearest vibration may enter.

From there, we become free to let go, express, follow, connect, receive and allow.

The origins of ceremony

The origins of ceremony come from Original cultures across the planet.

Rooted in oral tradition, specific tools, templates and practices are passed on with a necessary preciseness.

Jyoti, a founder of Center for Sacred Studies, often likens this process to dialing a specific number to align with original intention and potency.

Hold a Ceremony with Staci Boden

As grateful as I am to have studied extensively with teachers who have spent decades in relationship with Original peoples, I’ve not been called to hold traditional ceremony.

Instead, after extensive sacred container training and with my teachers’ blessings, I’ve been bridging ceremonial ways with non-ordinary states of consciousness practices like dance and breathwork for over 20 years.

If you’re drawn to indigenous ceremony, a dedicated respectful learning relationship with Original peoples within specific traditions is key so as not to appropriate.

Talk with Staci About How Ceremony Can Support You

Learn More About Staci's Extensive Experience with Ceremony

"Staci Boden has been a steadfast guide for me over the past decade. Her skillful and compassionate insights have influenced my path greatly. She is fierce when it is called for, and a deep listener who nurtures as she teaches. I would not be the woman I am today wthout her support and love."

Tasha A.
"My husband and I found ourselves stuck in some patterns we were having trouble escaping. Working with Staci helped us identify the different ways in which we were effectively communicating and relating, and how we were not. She helped us gain greater understanding of our own energies and how we could create a both-and world."

Tina S.
"Staci's presence in my life has been unyielding and profound. With her support, I have been able to navigate living with depression and anxiety, going through major life/work/relationship transitions, and learning to work with the unknown and the unknowable. Staci never ceases to be a source of nurturance, guidance, and deep, deep care."

Lisa L.
"My beloved and I were fortunate to work with Staci over the course of 2+ years. Her skillful listening and pointed observations helped us to open to changes our relationship needed. The tools and practices along with having a place to talk it out together created a relationship container than holds us today. We would not have made it without her. Thank you, Staci for guiding and loving us."

Teresa C.
"Staci does not lead you into deep places unattended."

Catherine A.
"I started seeing Staci because I felt boxed in and trapped - literally. Staci helped me transform the box and get in touch with aspects of my life that had been long buried. She's provided the space and support to allow those aspects to thrive and flourish, which has helped me grow as a person. I no longer feel trapped and boxed in, my anxiety has diminished, and I've started writing again."

Carey H.
"Staci holds a sacred space better than anyone I have ever experienced."

Greta V.
"With Staci I've begun a journey into my own truth - one I've been afraid to take for this entire lifetime. But it feels as though she holds my hand and grants me space where I can come to trust my own instincts, intuition, and wisdom. When I'm overwhelmed I can rely on the tools I've found instead of various addictions. Sessions with Staci are the most worthwhile work I've ever done."

Diana C.
"Staci Boden is a spiritual midwife, holding you in her arms as you deliver yourself from the pain of the past. I will give you this warning: Do not step into this process with Staci unless you are truly prepared to awaken that which has been sleeping, deep inside of you, for far too long."

Gwen B.
"Staci was a clear, gentle and yet, ever present grounding force that helped me harness my own inner strength to leave an abusive relationship. From there, she's been a touchstone and guide for expanding into my own self-love and self-supportive capacity in its many permutations. I'm so grateful for the depths of Staci's innate wisdom and practical knowledge."

Jadyn D.
"Staci's methods helped me see that healing power is not only real, it is within all of us. Sometimes what it takes is learning a few tools and a lot of support."

Jay J.
"The unique earth-based wise-woman energy healing that Staci offers has allowed me to sit with and move through some of the most difficult transitions in my life with awareness and grace. Her sessions are just the right combination of talk (checking-in), energy work and assessment. I always feel seen, held, and lighter afterwards."

Hannah E.
"Recently I was struck by the (rather frightening) realization that, without Staci, I may have lived the rest of my life having never experienced the profound insight, awareness and healing this deep sacred work offers. Staci is the real deal. Where other practices I've tried have been more saccharine, her teaching is sweet honey, straight from the bee."

Jenny B.
"I trust Staci completely."

Mel F.
"Staci's loving support and wise guidance helped me through a very challenging phase of my life. She not only helped me to make sense of a painful ending with a friend, she also helped me to 'make medicine' out of it. I feel deeply grateful for Staci's integrative approach, wisdom and loving care."

Lindsay J.
"I am forever grateful to Staci and her beautiful book, which came into my life at a time when I was spinning in circles. Nothing compares to the loving container she upholds, the deep energy work and her mama bear presence. Thank you Staci for the ongoing space holding and guidance as I step into my heart work. Much love!"

Sam L.
"I'm in Michigan, so Staci and I work via Skype but she may as well be sitting right next to me. If I'm visualizing sitting by the sea, she will, in that exact moment, mention the sea. If an animal friend or spirit guide shows up for me, Staci knows it immediately. She can detect the precise sensations in my body and intuit how to work that energy. It's uncanny. I may never understand how she does this, but I'm just so grateful for her deep, powerful work."
