LIFE AS RITUAL
- Accessible, sustainable, intentional shifts that will transform your life -
Life as Ritual is a self-led online course intended to guide you to a state of presence, awareness and becoming your most aligned, embodied and empowered Self through weaving ritual and ceremony into your life.
A space to soften into Being. To rediscover, receive and reclaim your inner wisdom, connection to Nature and the natural cycles with the support of ancient and modern practices.
Your tool-kit of rituals and self-nourishment practices that will be your ongoing inspiration and daily + weekly anchors in the chaos and conflicting demands of life.
You are constantly pulled in different directions, leaving you overwhelmed and exhausted, with little time left for yourself, lacking vitality, stressed and unable to communicate your needs. The guilt of not being able to give 100% to any aspect of your life weighs heavily on you. Despite your best efforts, the chaos persists, and the idea of finding balance seems like a distant dream.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Imagine:
Waking up each morning feeling refreshed and energised, ready to take on the day's challenges with a still and unbothered mind
Connecting to your body and inner cycles and knowing exactly what it needs in each moment
Implementing simple yet expansive self-nourishment practices and rituals that give vitality to your body, mind and spirit and nurture your well-being

Join this transformative journey and let me guide you in creating space for an aligned, thriving life.
I see you, juggling all aspects of life.
Perhaps you have a demanding and stressful career, you are working full-time and have so much being expected of you. Perhaps you are a mother, mother-figure or carer experiencing the joys and challenges of caring for another person. Perhaps you are a holistic therapist, a bodyworker, a somatic teacher committed to guiding others in their healing journey, providing transformative care that integrates mind, body, and spirit.
Yet, in your pursuit to nurture and support others, you often find yourself depleted, struggling to maintain your own well-being amidst the demands of your work and personal life. Juggling the roles of therapist, caregiver, and possibly parent or carer, you face the challenge of finding time for self-nourishment and balance.

What others have shared about Life as Ritual
“The Life as Ritual course was beautiful, simple yet potent! With the gentle invitation to pause and give yourself what you need, which I found to be nothing complicated but a moment of presence with yourself and Source, to acknolegde this life and be grateful for its beauty. The online content was easy to follow and I loved the breakdown of it into the moon/feminine cycles. Thank you so much Marina for your gentleness, the way you weave the magic through the course ❤️
