The Clearing- Sacred Fire Ceremony

The Clearing®
A ceremonial shedding of what no longer serves — especially the anger you were never allowed to feel.

Love… as we stand at the edge of a new year, there is nothing more powerful than releasing what your body has been carrying — deliberately, ceremonially, and with witnesses who can hold the weight with you. On December 30th, inside The Nest in Woodstock, NY, we close this year in the oldest way humans have ever healed: Fire. Ritual. Sound. Community. And a body finally allowed to let go.

The Sacred Fire Ceremony: Closing of the year Ritual
A Closing Ritual to Burn, Bury, or Bless It All

December 30th · 7PM EST · The Nest · Woodstock, NY

What This Ceremony Actually Does

This isn’t symbolic.This is somatic.

Step by step, we guide you to:

1. Locate the old anger still living in the tissues

2. Validate it so your system stops fighting itself

3. Move it through breath, sound, and grounded somatic release

4. Name the things you’re ready to drop — from resentment to patterns to self-betrayal to

emotional debris

Write them down as a declaration of sovereignty

5. Offer them to the fire — letting the flame metabolize what your nervous system has

been gripping

6. Seal the release with a sound bath performed by me and Stefanie

7. Anchor safety, softness, and steadiness into your body for the year ahead

Fire is not a metaphor here. It is transmutation. It is completion. It is proof to your body that the chapter is done.

What Makes This Ceremony Different

This is not “cute wellness.” This is for people who are done replaying the same emotional story every year. People who are tired of carrying:

● Old anger you’ve inherited

● Resentment that leaks into love

● Tension you can’t explain

● Stories your mind is “over” but your body is not

● The weight of the hand life dealt you

● Shame or silence you’ve grown numb to

● Fear that interrupts your softness and your next chapter.

This is the event for the soul who wants to walk into 2026 lighter, clearer, and emotionally unburdened.

Who this is for:

This is THE ceremony for you if:

  • You’re committed to real emotional growth

  • You’re done repeating the same patterns

  • You want clean energy going into 2026

  • You want to heal anger from the body, not the mind

  • You want ritual, not theory You need a sacred space to let go

  • You want to enter the new year with a regulated nervous system, a clear heart, and an unburdened spirit.

This is not a “nice” event. It’s a threshold moment. A doorway into the next version of you.
