It's time to grow! Let's go together.

Transform Yourself, Change the World

“Ceremonies transcend the boundaries of the individual and resonate beyond the human realm. These acts of reverence are powerfully pragmatic. These are ceremonies that magnify life.” Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass

If you…

… desire to “magnify life” by connecting practically to the places beyond that hold energy and information for us,

…are a leader or teacher, seeking profound ways to elevate group experiences and personal evolution for yourself and others,

…seek to hold life’s passages in a deep, meaningful way but are unsure how,

…feel called to meet the challenges of our world from a place of  spiritual integrity,

…desire to honor and support the Earth and all life in a profound way,

then this training is essential for you!

 

The Art of Ceremony

Ceremony helps us to bring the Sacred into everyday living, as we take time to connect with Spirit and the wisdom that every moment and every being is sacred.

Ceremony builds bridges from where you are to what you envision by energizing the positive presence of the unseen world in one’s life. Ceremony has the power to transform on both a personal and collective level.

In ceremony we elevate to a different energy dimension that is resourced in service to the earth, our communities, ourselves.

The StarHouse
Nestled into the peaceful foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Boulder, CO, the StarHouse is a safe, energized container designed and built using the principles of sacred geometry, which directly supports learning the ceremonial arts. It is a place where people discover, deepen and grow their skills to co-create with spirit and actualize their unique gifts and purpose.

With 100 acres and many ceremonial sites, the land surrounding StarHouse supports students and practitioners with powerful, embodied learning experiences.

Because nature lends itself to ceremony, we also work with students on the Earth Star land surrounding StarHouse. Plan to be outside for part of every meeting, practicing new skills using the magic inherent in nature.

Heather A., Boulder, CO

“The ceremonial arts training (CAT) has been a transformative journey that has deepened my connection with nature and expanded my awareness. Through the practice of setting intentions and tracking energy, I have become more attuned to the subtle shifts within myself and the environment, aligning my actions with the cycles of life. The teachings of the 7 directions and ceremony practices taught me to honor and connect with the spiritual energies. 

This sacred knowledge has nurtured my personal growth and fostered emotional maturity, empathy, and a greater sense of interconnectedness with all beings. 

The Ceremonial Arts Training is truly a sacred path of self-discovery and transformation!”

Stefanie S., Littleton, CO

Ceremonial Arts Facilitators
 

Steeped in the StarHouse lineage of the Path of Ceremonial Arts for Men and Women, your facilitators, Candice Knight and Susie Kincade invite you to this exciting discovery and development of the ceremonial artist with you.

Susie Kincade

What do you do when you hear the earth calling you? Some might hide, deny, or distract; I did for many years. Then, I enrolled in the StarHouse’s Path of the Ceremonial Arts training. There, I learned how to listen and actively converse with the Earth, her energies, and the mystical forces of the unseen world. I built ceremonial skills that grew as I worked with indigenous Utes.  The conversation matured and I trained to be a nature-based personal coach and wilderness guide. Along the way I formed Women’s Empowerment Workshop, connecting girls and women to their inner wisdom through nature adventure, retreats and coaching, woven with earth-based ceremonies for all life’s passages.

Ceremony deepens my life as a StarHouse Minister, a climate and wilderness activist, author, and teacher of ceremony and earth-connected living.

In the words of a Havasupai elder spoken to us at Standing Rock: “Your life is a ceremony. You must live it this way.” I look forward to sharing this sacred art with you.

Candice Knight

After 30 years of teaching young children, parents and educators I experienced hearing an “inner call” to move to Boulder Colorado. It was so profound I could not dismiss it. Little did I know by following, my whole life would change. This journey brought me to The StarHouse where I began a new way of engaging with the unseen energies that are always available to support us. The Path of Ceremonial Arts program assisted in my embodiment of the Sacred Art of Ceremony. On completion of PCA I became a facilitator of the program for 15 years and then a Minister of The StarHouse. My attention became focused on assisting people to create meaningful ceremony in their lives to mark the important transitions in life.

Ceremonies for Sacred Living was born from this desire.. My joy is to co-create with others, helping to make life’s threshold moments sacred.
