Beginning of the Path

Welcome, seekers of the sacred,

to this circle of transformation,

where time stretches before us

like an untamed trail through the unknown.

Here, we gather not by chance

but by the quiet call of the earth,

the whisper of leaves,

the wisdom of roots.

You are here to remember

what has always lived within you—

to awaken the art of ceremony,

to commune with the medicine of the plants,

to learn their language of healing,

of truth,

of connection.

This is a journey of shedding,

of unraveling what no longer serves,

of making space for the essence

of who you are.

It is a journey of surrender,

where the spirit of the earth

becomes your guide.

Each moon will bring new lessons,

new challenges,

new gifts.

You will walk through fire and shadow,

you will stand in the light of your own becoming.

You will weep,

you will laugh,

you will rise.

Together, we will hold the container,

a vessel of safety and trust,

where your transformation can unfold

like a flower blooming at dawn.

Here, you will find your voice,

your power,

your medicine.

Bring your heart,

bring your hands,

bring your prayers.

This is the beginning of a sacred unfolding,

the weaving of a tapestry

woven with the threads of your intentions,

your dreams,

your truth.

Step forward with reverence,

with courage,

with an open heart.

The earth is waiting to teach you,

to heal you,

to remind you

of your place in her story.

Let this be the path

that transforms not just your life,

but the lives of those you touch.

For as you learn the art of the sacred,

you become the ceremony itself.
