The Courage to Love: A Relational Ceremony of Expansion and Celebration


  • @ The Inner Space Vancouver, WA. 98682 (map)

This gathering is an opportunity to gather one last time beneath the golden sun of late summer, to commune with the living world, and to open the doors of the heart—drawing strength, inspiration, and warmth as we prepare for the season ahead.

Deeply inspired by recent personal experience of a direct encounter with existential fear, this gathering arises from a simple conclusion: that what will carry us through these times to come is relationship. Relationship with ourselves, with one another, with the living Earth, and with the ineffable field that holds it all.

This gathering is open for everyone to explore—from those who are simply curious about our work to experienced space holders and seasoned travelers seeking a place to receive, explore, and perhaps expand their understanding of ceremony, celebration, and the sacred.

Above all, this space is for those who feel called to connect more deeply with themselves, with others, and with the unique medicine they carry for these times, often muted by the fear of "other"—other people, other ways of being, and the unknown itself.

We are grateful and and excited to offer a space where those old stories can gently fall and discover what remains when the heart is given permission to open.

Throughout the day, we will weave together the medicines of breath, movement, authentic expression, relational exploration, music, and ritual within a grounded ceremonial container held in reverence for the mystery and it’s phenomena.

This ceremony will be unlike the ones we've held over the past several years. More relational, spacious, and spontaneous. There will be opportunities to move between indoor and outdoor spaces, to dance, express, connect, or journey quietly inward as your own process unfolds.

Because of the intimate and powerful nature of this setting, we will be offering three group preparation sessions leading up to the gathering. These sessions are an opportunity for us to become acquainted, clarify intentions, learn about the ceremonial process, and review the guidelines that help create a safe, intentional, and deeply transformative container.

Participation in all preparation sessions is required. If you are unable to attend live, each session will be recorded and made available for you to watch before the gathering.
