Ceremonies
Per traditional ways, there is no set price for ceremony. A gift reflecting the value of the ceremony to you and in balance with your financial status is enough.
Winter Solstice Grand Dance
December 20, 2026 time and location to be announced
This ceremony continues a tradition my friend Gabriel Springsnow’s godfather created and hosted each winter. The magic is in the movement, the meditation, and the togetherness. I hope many of you will join us to bring back the light on the shortest day of the year.
We form a circle as the doors to the external world are closed. We will go over the agreements of the space, logistics, and guide the 7 demonstrators through the seven surrenders, specific movements that we will express with our bodies before bringing back the light. The directions will be called and the container for our collective journey begins.
The surrenders:
Surrender of Outward Focus
Surrender of Personal Story
Surrender of Self-Image
Surrender of Separate Self
Surrender of Pain to Light
Surrender of Rigidity
Surrender of Stature
Once we have each "become" the sun, you will be guided through a meditation on the the seeds of your intentions you wish to bring into the world over the next season and the next year.
We will close with the 4 directions and go on our individual ways, having collectively brought the light back into the days to come.
Moon Ceremony
New and Full Moon Ceremonies are on hiatus until firetenders and a safe central location suitable for the ceremonies manifest.
VEnus Return
Every 18 months the planet Venus, one of the most recognizable lights in the morning or evening sky, disappears from view for 40 days. This is the time of the labyrinth ceremony. Guided by Joanna, participants use artistic expression, play, body movement, and guided meditations to attend Venus on her journey. We create vows around self-love, right relationships, resources, and other values. The next Venus return ceremony takes place between early October - mid November 2026. Do you feel called to do this work?
RECEIVE your Magical Name
In this initiation ritual handed down to Joanna by her high priestess, Grandmother Indigo Jewel, you create a totemic necklace representing your life and spiritual path according to the Seven Sisters traditions. Joanna will carry your necklace with her as she goes deep into other realms through meditation over several weeks or months to seek a sacred and magical name for you. Join with your friends and family in a special ceremony to receive your new name. Contact Joanna for a free 20 minute consult to begin your new life in a good way.
Celebrations of Life / Memorials
Joanna’s gift for creating sacred space through her relationship with the 7 directions will create a meaningful memorial of your life for your loved ones and bless your death. Contact Joanna for a free consultation to create a plan for how Joanna will support your grieving loved ones to honor your memory and celebrate your life.
Handfasting
Make your vows of steadfast love in a sphere of universal light generated by Joanna’s calling in of the 7 directions. As simple or elaborate as you choose your commitment ceremony to be, a Brightheart ceremony brings grace, beauty, and poetry to the occasion.
