Description: Rituals are vital for marking important shifts, changes, or moments in our lives. Naming a child, graduating from school, or having a baby shower are all rituals and practices that allow us to reflect on our journey, usually in the presence of our community. I can create a ritual for you to let go of a name or pronoun, adopt a new name or pronoun, to connect with a partner or with your community in a new way, etc.
Although I have a few rituals that can be adapted to individuals, I would also love to work with you to create a bespoke ritual for your individual needs.

Description: Breathwork is a form of active meditation where the breath connects to the body for somatic work, release, relaxation, or energy movement. Eli is currently an apprentice of Chauna Bryant, founder of Breath Liberation Society, and is completing a 400-hour certification process. He is currently able to facilitate breathwork for individuals and groups. Breathwork sessions include a grounding-in process, intention setting, instructions on the breath pattern, breathing along to a playlist, and integration. These sessions are tailored to the needs of the breather (or the group) and are a powerful way to connect with your body and spirit.
