What People Are Saying
“It was worth every minute and penny. I felt like this ceremony really held me in my spiritual work, inspired me, and nourished more seeds that will germinate and grow in my life. I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked in an online format. I knew it was going to be good, but it was great! I felt an immediate connection with the leaders, in their authenticity. It was also such a relief to have a woman of color leading too (I’m A Woman Of Color and it’s such a rare experience to feel that safe).”
— Sable, Seattle WA
“I have been in circle with other women before, but I haven't really participated in a ceremony like this that included such detailed ancient teachings and learnings… I thought you three women were all incredibly special -- your energy and the space you held for us was palpable even through Zoom. I loved the interplay of your personalities and approaches. The ceremony was so well-crafted with an eye towards everything that's going on -- I loved that we were given many breaks, a super long lunch, and had an opportunity to go outside. I felt there was a very good balance between being led into spiritual self-reflection and having the space to find my own way into it.”
— Gabriella, NYC
“I was looking for connection with community and the movement and awareness I have received from other ceremonies. [I walked away from a ceremony with BDC] feeling grounded and more aware of what I need to put my focus towards, as well as energy for taking action. I love the energy the three of you! [There is] something powerful about the gifts you each bring and share together that makes ceremony with BDC magical. “
— Cindy, Seattle WA
