Sacred Paradox
A short story about a time in my life when I wrestled with opposing truths. This piece concludes with a ritual to listen inward as we hold multiples truths or desires.
"May life’s paradoxes be a Divine summons to make sacred space for multiple truths.
May we trust our own inner knowing, our own soul wisdom, to bless the beauty of contradiction and Mystery."
Solstice & New Year
"I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away." ―Oriah Mountain Dreamer
This year exploded paradigms and lifted veils.
It asked us to look at our shadows.
It pleaded with us to re-create reality.
As we sit with all that was asked of us, and all that we asked,
Here are journaling questions to create new foundations.
These journaling prompts invite us to hear the answers within.
Our inner wisdom holds the answers to soul-aligned living when we create the sacred space to listen!

Intention Setting Ritual
This ritual is perfect anytime we would like to create an intention for something we are welcoming in. Offering rituals of intention around the new moon or any new chapter of life is a wonderful time to manifest dreams or welcome in possibilities.
The Jewish calendar is based on the moon and her cycles. Each new month starts with the new moon as a sliver of light in the dark skies. The Rabbis ask why the new month begins with the new moon and not a full moon?
The new moon carries with her a glimmer of potential. She is the promise of greater and greater light amidst the inky sky.
The month moves from this sliver of potential into the brilliant fullness of the full moon. May we each hold this metaphor of moving from nascent potential to expansive fulfillment close to our hearts.
Ritual for Releasing: Sanctifying an Ending
This ritual is perfect when we are releasing a relationship, an expectation, or a loss. It guides participants through compassion with all that is, the magic of releasing, and opening to future possibilities. It is best done in community and can also be done solo.
This ritual is perfectly paired with my Coffee with Celeste Facebook Live interview.
Sacred Pilgrimage: Ritual for Challenging Travels

Wisdom From Our 85 Year-Old Self Meditation
This is one of my favorite meditations to connect with inner truth!
✨We each possess deep wisdom within. This meditation is a powerful way to tap into inner knowing and alignment via our 85 year old perspective.
✨As you connect with your 85 year old self, you can ask them any questions or anything you're feeling unsure about. Connecting with deep inner wisdom feels clear and expansive.
✨I invite you to have a journal ready to capture any “aha"s that emerge from this meditation.
