I write often about Creativity Zones, those physical spaces in our life where creativity tends to be lived out. Today I invited Jana Whalen with Vibrant Strides into the Creativity Tribe Studio for a Space Clearing Ceremony.
Jana first came to may home to pick up something I was lending her and in the course of our conversation, we decided she might need one other thing. That is when I realized I would need to open the door to the studio in order to retrieve it.
Yikes! The studio was beyond a mess. But I decided to just go with it. Jana was a trouper….she didn’t even wince!
She empathized with me about storage and collecting so many amazing things that may just SOMEDAY find a project to live out their destiny. And then, she shared that she does Space Clearing Ceremonies. I was intrigued. Creativity Tribe has been dancing along new horizons and having a space clearing felt like a lovely way to set intention for those endeavors.
Jana met with me the next week to get to know me, my space, and my business. She listened to stories about our home and inquired about where my business was going and how the studio would play a roll in its evolution. By the time she left, she was more clear about who I was…and honestly, so was I.
Space Clearing Ceremony
She arrived the next week for the ceremony. I tidied up, playing through all the intentions and stories we had discussed the week before. I felt like Creativity Tribe (the business, the concept, the dream, the path) was also having a Space Clearing. I imagined what I would release, what I would invite in. I readied myself for transformation.
The Space Clearing Ceremony was beautiful. Jana built a small but meaningful altar in the middle of my studio.
She incorporated the directions, helping spirits, stones, essential oils, and much more.
I felt peaceful and energized all at the same time. I felt a deepening of my love for this studio and what it offers to my life and the life of those who consider themselves part of the Creativity Tribe Facebook Group
Jana ended by packing up the little altar. We shared stories about our personal experience with the ceremony, and she left.
Sitting in the studio in the minutes after the ceremony, I felt as if something special had just happened.
You know that feeling after a party when you have the sensation of being filled with all the bubbly connections of the evening? How your home still echoes the comings and goings of the event? How you feel like even over the next week and maybe even over the years to com you will be energized by what just happened? That is what I felt after the Space Clearing Ceremony.
Now, to step into the clear, welcoming space of Creativity Tribe….
Thank you, Jana! You are a gift!
