The Private Ceremony

3 Hour Mini-Retreat 

Slow down, listen inward, release what you're ready to put down, and give form to what comes next.

Private for one, a couple, or a small circle of friends.

Some Moments Deserve to be Marked

There are seasons when you don't need another thing to accomplish.

You need space.

Space to breathe.
Space to listen.
Space to let something go.
Space to recognize what is changing within you.

Presence is a private ceremonial retreat designed to give you that space.

From Inner Experience To Outer Form

Arrive

Settle into your body and the present moment

Listen

Gentle movement, breath and Reiki invite you inward.

Release

Name what you're ready to put down.

Transform

A fire ritual turns your written release into ash.

Create

The ash becomes part of the clay you shape with your hands.

Integrate

Close with Korean tea, reflection, and intention.

What you create carries a story.

Your clay becomes a tangible record of this moment.

Once fired and glazed, your finished piece is shipped to you. 

Designed for meaningful moments.

On your own

When you need space to reset or mark a personal transition.

As a couple

For an anniversary,  milestone, new chapter, or simply meaningful time together.

With close friends

A private experience designed to slow down and reconnect.

During a transition

When something is ending, beginning, changing, or asking to be witnessed.

Come as you are.

No yoga experience. 

No meditation experience. 

No ceramics experience. 

No expectation to arrive calm, centered, or ready.

Come as you are.

You're guided step by step.

* Parking available on site. Please wear comfortable clothing. All materials, yoga mats, tools, and clay firing included. Please allow 4-5 weeks for pottery shipment.
