Thrive! A Modern Path of Ritual & Ceremony

The reason why you can’t move forward is because you keep applying an old formula to a new level in your life. Change the formula, get a different result. ~Emily Maroutian

Are you ready to change the formula? Are you ready to try living life differently? Can you imagine a life beyond mere surviving? …a life where you actually thrive? What would your life be like if your energy and focus were rooted in thriving?

This is not a self-help course, this is a training program for a different way of being.

Thrive! offers a unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern practices to fundamentally shift how you see yourself and your place in the world. It is time for us as humans to step into our responsibilities on the planet of caring for all creation.  Learning how to court and tend relationship with the natural world, the seen and unseen, with ourselves and with each other is how we begin.  

We are calling forth seers, listeners, budding ceremonialists, heart-centered mystics, and all us regular old folks who simply and deeply care about this planet and our place within the Great Family of Life.  It is our time to ground goodness in place.  It is time for us to step up - together. 

Thrive! is a year-long (13 moons) self-study program with online community & mentoring support that combines practical spirituality, nature connection, deep inner work, and honest self-reflection to help you connect with what you decide really matters.  

Establish healthy relationships with self and community that are rooted in deeply grounded spiritual practices and healthy behaviors that nurture and tend new ways of being. 

Experience this year-long journey in community with others making the same commitment to shifting the trajectory of their lives. Together, we will discover how to create a life that is connected and meaningful, starting exactly where we are.

• Community Connection: Once a month facilitated group online ceremony & check in with people who have committed to changing the trajectory of their lives, as you have. You will also be paired with a buddy for regular check-ins.

• Self-study: Every month, on the New Moon, you will receive a monthly teaching bundle and instructions for personal ceremony.  The teaching bundles also share practical wisdom, exercises and prompts for you to develop and deepen your personal relationship with your own Sacredness, your life, community and home, with the Earth and her cycles, with Nature, with your Ancestors / Spirit / Creator. The Personal Ceremonies are to be done on / around the Full Moon.
