Serpent Blessings ceremony

Drawing on ancient spirit-boat traditions from Indigenous cultures worldwide, this ceremony invites us to become a living Serpent together.

Through shamanic drumming, a circle of shamanic practitioners journeys on behalf of the group, gathering power from the spirit world and channelling it into the Serpent. Within the body of the Serpent, each person holds the powerful intention for collective healing and blessing for the queer community.
