My 1st Winter Solstice Ceremony — A Rite of Passage

MY HISTORY — ORIGINALLY POSTED FEBRUARY 21, 2019 ON INSTAGRAM@THEPOINTOFYOU

Two months ago, on the Winter Solstice, I took a profound step. With the help of dear friend and co-conspirator,
Annie Cattabriga-Alosa @diviniapriestess, I created a rite of passage ceremony and crossed over a magnificent threshold (see pic) to mark the end of one era of my life and the beginning of another.

In the first half of this ceremony, I “honored, thanked and invited to rest peacefully” parts of me that have helped me get to where I am today by denying, hiding and sacrificing my self. In the second half of the ceremony, I invited other parts of me to step forward and lead me in serving, protecting and caring for *myself* AND others, by “being” in abundance, community, and unbridled joy.

This ceremony was deeply personal and profoundly life-changing. Clearly, I’ve been working towards the “realization” of this transformation for quite some time. And now, similar to the way that being married felt different to being a longtime girlfriend, I feel different … like I’ve shifted from “being" Cinderella to “being" the benevolent queen of my own life.

This attitude shift already has manifested a powerful energy shift in many of my relationships and has inspired profound clarity and new openings of possibility for direction shifts in my work and life. I have never felt more excited about what lies ahead.

If an attitude shift that leads to an energy shift that leads to a direction shift in your life resonates for you, too, let’s connect and co-conspire! xo
