What guests say
“I’ve spent a lifetime doing the work—through therapy, spiritual direction, grief rituals, somatic healing, and years as a hospital and hospice chaplain. I don’t use the word “transformative” lightly.”
“My name is David Shapiro, and I came to ceremonia because I was experiencing burnout. Have been in a state of burnout for off and on for about eight years, and nothing had really worked.”
