ILLUMINATING SHAME

A 2-hour experiential and interactive virtual ceremony of healing and transmuting the energy of shame

an intimate experience for women

WEDNESDAY JUNE 5, 2024

1PM PT/ 4PM ET / 10PM CET

SHAME

the experience of being damaged, wrong, bad, and useless

Shame is an emotion that involves negative beliefs about yourself that can be pervasive and destructive to your sense of self. It is an emotion that can feel like it defines who you are as damaged, bad, helpless, and a failure. Shame is different from guilt. Guilt is a feeling of doing something bad. Shame is a feeling of being bad.

We all have shame.

Regardless of where you are in your journey of healing your shame, this virtual journey is an opportunity to bring light to and love the aspects of yourself still in hiding.

Lets come together in a safe, vulnerable container to feel, process, share, and honor our sacred temples. Kerry creates a sacred container using ancient practices; allowing the women who join to vulnerably move through stuck energies in their bodies.

The Ceremony includes opportunities to speak, emote, write, and explore the healing power of our personal and collective alchemical process. We work with the elemental medicine of Fire to support the illumination of our inner shame and journey into an experience where we are safe to explore our nakedness.

the Impact of shame

Shame can create a sense of incapacity, hindering your ability to take positive actions in both your life and relationships for improvement.

Shame can cause you to feel so terrible and disgusted about yourself that you hurt yourself through eating, drinking, drugs, sexual behaviors, and/or self-injury. All in the hopes that these things will soothe you or help you feel better.

For some people, when they feel ashamed with an exacerbating sense of guilt, they can respond with aggression, anger, or even violence.

Shame can cause you to keep certain aspects of yourself isolated from others, including important parts of your trauma history, your boundaries, and your needs.

Shame can stop you from fully engaging in life and relationship. Which often leads to isolation, loneliness, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

Getting Naked is the act of taking off your clothes.

BEing Naked is a deep process of vulnerability that goes beyond the flesh. It is the culmination of the physical, emotional, and unseen; it’s You.

our SACRED journey

Opening

The first part of the ceremony consists of opening our sacred space with our plant allies and the four directions, teachings on the medicine of nudity and the energy of shame, along with the opportunity for sharing.

journey into your shame

The second part of the ceremony, Kerry guides you through a transformative exploration into your shame, through guided practices of: a slow and mindful undressing meditation, bringing to light layers of shame through journaling, uncovering the places where shame lives in your body through non-sexual self-touch, connecting with and emoting the feelings and energy of shame through voice attunement, and culminating in the dynamic movement and expression of shame through naked embodyment.

Reflection & sharing

After moving to a deeper space within your body is the opportunity for sharing. Reflecting and sharing helps integrate the teachings and transformation into everyday experiences and deeper knowing. Sharing is the availability to be seen, heard, and felt. At no point in our sacred journey are you obligated to share.

closing

We close our sacred container in meditation to dress, deep gratitude for our guidance, and sealing our ceremony in dressing slowly and intentionally — together.
