On January 27th and 28th we will be hosting a ceremony in the Washington DC Area.  All registrations include the group preparation session, individual intentions session with Paul or Channing, the ceremony, a re-immersion integration session, and a one-on-one option for individualized integration for less experienced journeyers.

WHAT:  Medicine Ceremony with Paul Ryder and Channing McBride on January 27th and 28th. We’ll begin with some “going inward” exercises and movements and then open the intentions for the circle. Also included are a 40-minute intention-setting session with Paul or Channing and a four-week group integration series with Catherine Board. Catherine is a certified coach and teaches her own “brand” of coaching to aspiring coaches.

WHERE: Details will follow for those who register. We are limited to 15 participants for each ceremony so registration will be on a first-come/first-served basis. We will keep a waiting list if we have more than 12 for a specific ceremony.

THEME:  Our theme for the journey is Praying with Medicine: Basics. There are a lot of things you can do in the medicine space. One of them is to connect with an Intelligence that is bigger than yourself: Source, Spirit, God/Goddess, gods, the medicine itself, your own inner wisdom and guides. How to “be with” ourselves and this higher wisdom will be a focus of this ceremony. Over the course of 2023, we’ll explore this theme of Praying with Medicine. Lots to explore in this BIG theme!

PREPARATION: We will have a Zoom call for the entire group beforehand to talk a bit about the theme, go over what to expect, and the ins and outs of the ceremony, intention setting, and integration. This session will be recorded for those who cannot attend.

For new travelers, you will do an intake and set intentions. To facilitate this, Paul’s asking that each of you fill out an intake form (at www.paulryder.com/login — you’ll need to create an account before the form will appear). For ALL travelers, book a 40-minute session with Paul using this link.  As an alternative session with Paul, you may email Channing for his availability at channing@sacredpractices.org.
