Birth, Trauma, Initiation and Spiritual Awakening

"Birth is a trauma and a gift at the same time. In fact, every rite of passage and initiation can be characterized as a traumatic experience that activates the spirit in some way or another. Even when we have no access to formal ritual and ceremony, the path of destiny guides us into precisely those experiences that will enable spiritual awakening. This is why I insist that all of life is initiation. Living the medicine means recognizing this truism and deliberately selecting those experiences that will heal your life and heal the lives if the people you were born to serve. The Orisa Lifestyle & Mental Health Retreat will offer carefully crafted experiences that are designed to raise awareness, facilitate personal ritual and support meaningful change. Register now!
