Reflections from our community

Reverence & community

I had an amazing time at Suzi’s ceremony. She brings the perfect balance of reverence, play, and community. What I like most about the space is the balance of sacred intention and reverence without any “ultra spiritual” or seriousness.

Preparation & personal attention

She really took the time to get to know me beforehand and helped guide me through all of my fears and worries.

Preparing together

The attention to pre ceremony zoom meeting to align everyone energy and know who you will sharing your vulnerability with, was the first sign I was in a safe container.

A difficult, profound experience

I attended one of her ceremonies and had the most difficult and profound experience I could not have imagined in my wildest dreams! Integration afterwards is required and so needed!

Care & presence

There was never any pressure to chase an experience, rush or explain it; they simply held space with deep presence and trust, allowing the medicine to unfold exactly as it needed to.

Getting to know the community

I had been wanting to attend a ceremony since 2021 but was nervous. I attended a field trip/ gathering to get a feel for the group then felt comfortable enough to attend a ceremony.

Care & connection

The care, love, and attention poured into each ceremony, whether group or private, are truly felt. @thetempleofeden and @thisissuzi serve with integrity and foster a space where people can connect with themselves more deeply, sit with their shadows, and learn to embrace every part of who they are.
