Ceremony Ritual

SACRED – TRANSFORMATIVE – LIFE CHANGING

Over the course of history many cultures have had traditions, rituals, and ceremonies to help create a deeper connection to spirit, to community, and to oneself. There is a unique experience that happens when humans gather together in community all sharing their energy for a common intention. In fact, there have been studies that having a physical thing to do when focusing on intentions makes them more powerful because having a specific thing to focus your energy, magic, and intentions makes them more potent!

We are living in a special and pivotal time where we have the great privilege to connect with and embrace these sacred tools to nurture us and transform our lives for the better – this will have a powerful ripple effect of love on our community, and in turn, the world.

Some of our ceremonies may involve plant medicine, or sacred rituals specific to a particular culture, practice or lineage. We bring traditions from different regions and cultures from all over the world to you in LA and empower you to find your own truth and create your own divine connection.

We honor ancient cultures and traditions and hold them in the highest light and respect. We honor each person’s freedom to create new ways to connect with themselves and the divine. Ceremony is a powerful way to connect with ourselves, the divine and community, and each ceremony can help us process pain, trauma and major life events as well as help us celebrate all the good in life. Rituals in ceremony can bless, clear energy, facilitate releasing of old stories, narratives and identities we are ready to move beyond, as well as help cut energetic cords, manifest dreams and bring abundance into our lives.

At Liberate we embrace all religions, traditions and cultures. We find that in today’s ever-expanding reality, we live in a very blessed time because we are able to offer the sacred container of ritual and ceremony with more openness and freedom. All are welcome.

Great for: Anyone who is craving the Sacred or Divine connection, connection to self, connection to community, deep healing, transformation, big change in their life, tapping into their inner power, experiencing magic in real time

WHAT TO EXPECT

We supply everything needed for each ceremony and ritual. Every ceremony is different, and the description of each ceremony on our calendar will tell you exactly what the focus will be and what is involved.

Some ceremonies may have meditative portions that involve laying down or even the use of a blindfold for a heightened sensory experience (our cacao ceremonies often encourage the use of blindfolds). We want you to be comfortable and honor whatever you need to do to feel safe. Some ceremonies include plant medicine like cacao, rapé (sacred tobacco snuff) or tea.

Ceremonies and rituals are almost always meant for you to set intentions, release what isn’t serving you and connect with what you desire. Sometimes ceremonies will involve energy work, helping you open and balance your chakras for deep healing.

Come with an open mind. Some ceremonies will request you to have a clean diet beforehand to prepare you for the experience. We have one of the best spaces in LA for ceremony – a beautiful, spiritual outdoor space in Sherman Oaks that is well-ventilated and covid-safe.

With some of the best local and touring practitioners offering some of the most unique ceremonies and rituals, you’re sure to find something that inspires and ignites the magic inside you! Experience our unique outdoor garden space filled with trees, spiritual murals and gorgeous mood lighting.

RITUALS VS. CEREMONIES - WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

Rituals and Ceremonies are two words that are often used interchangeably, and that are easily confused when it comes to understanding their meanings and connotations. A ritual refers to a group of actions performed for their symbolic value. On the other hand, a ceremony is a ritual performed on a special occasion, i.e. a full moon or spiritual holiday.

Why would you attend a ceremony or ritual?

If you are unsure if you are on the right path, or questioning your journey, a ceremony/ritual is a wonderful place to receive loving and higher spiritual guidance.

Rituals are powerful containers for transformation and clarity. They provide a facilitated and communal space for you to open up to your truth and yourself in order to look deep within. 

Many rituals allow us to gain a higher level perspective on problems, paths, and healing that we are seeking. Many of our rituals and ceremonies are guided my amazing facilitators who are experts at helping you see your soul and path from a higher perspective. 

Ceremonies are also a great way to reconnect to your community, culture, ancestry, and mother nature (or anything else you believe in). Facilitators can create the perfect environment for you to feel connected to something larger than yourself and in turn find connection to the parts inside of yourself. Spirituality is not just self help, it a way to tap into something greater than you and it is often a big piece missing from many people’s lives.

Lastly, if you are looking for deep awareness and transformation, then rituals are the perfect place for that magic. Not only will you be guided to tap into your own magic, but the magic of everyone present, the facilitator, and anything else they bring into the ritual. This is a potent part of rituals that many people miss out on. Attend a ritual and be ready for big changes and manifestations to fly into your life!

When to attend a ceremony or ritual?

Any time you are going through a major life change or transition, ceremony can be an especially powerful experience, helping you symbolically – and literally – step out of the old and across the threshold of the new.

We also believe you should trust your intuition, so if you are reading this and are finding yourself interested, it is likely a good time to attend a ritual or ceremony. Rituals and ceremonies can be performed any time. Trust in your ability to know what’s right for you.

We like to recommend for those interested in ritual and ceremony that you try at least one a month, and see how the continued connection with the sacred and this supportive container serves your transformation, empowerment, and wellness.

Develop the ability to listen to your inner voice, trust your intuition and study your dreams. Build on this knowledge and ask yourself questions like: What do I need right now? Answering questions like these will guide you to toward clarity and help you to decide what is right for you – and what will help Liberate you in the ways you most need. Trust in the knowledge that we have vetted some of the best practitioners, ritual and ceremonial guides who can support you on your journey – every step of the way.

RELEASE – HEAL – GROW

We often hear that the leading cause of our problems is within ourselves. But so is the solution.

It may seem far-fetched, but the power to solve all of our physical and emotional issues, whether it’s health, relationships, career, finances, self-esteem, or something else, is in our hands.

Metaphysical counseling helps us uncover the root of our suffering and address it accordingly. Let’s find out how!

Great for: Transitions, getting to the next level, breaking free of limiting beliefs or blockages, empowering one to believe in themselves, having accountability through your goals

what is metaphysics

Metaphysics is the most abstract branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of existence. In Greek, the word metaphysics means “after the things of nature”.

Metaphysics examines the very nature of reality. It offers explanations for phenomena that cannot be explained by “natural” science or that are “beyond the physical”.

This science studies the individual as a whole, as a physical and spiritual being.

Certain types of chakra healing and other holistic, spiritual healing practices, personal development, and even business coaching are based on metaphysics. They typically include working on physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of one’s being to resolve issues that person is facing.

The fundamental law of metaphysics is that every action or decision causes a reaction or an effect. Everything that happens to us (positive or negative) results from past actions or decisions in this lifetime or before the present life.

Similarly, everything we do now will have an effect on our life in the future. This law is better known as karma (action).

It is also believed that we must resolve our life’s issues in this lifetime.

What is metaphysical counseling?

Metaphysical counseling is based on the principle that everyone is sent by the Soul (higher self) to grow at all levels of their being through their life experiences and the lessons they learn in life.

Sometimes referred to as spiritual or transpersonal counseling, it represents a whole person approach – body, mind, and spirit. This type of counseling helps us better understand our life experiences by explaining aspects that our senses cannot perceive.

To put it simply, metaphysical counseling is a form of therapy that empowers us to empower ourselves.

There are many ways metaphysical counseling can take place. This will depend on the practitioner you choose, the kind of spirituality they practice, and the specific issues you may be looking to address.

Some counselors will advise you on the use of crystals for healing, while others will stress the importance of prayer.

This is why it is essential to find a counselor whose beliefs align with yours. Otherwise, your counseling might not have the desired effect.

What can metaphysical counseling help us with?

Metaphysical counseling is a type of holistic-approach therapy based on spiritual principles. This psycho-spiritual approach helps people live a more authentic life by making conscious choices.

It is a self-empowering therapy that gives us the tools to identify and address the imbalances in our belief system that cause conflict and prevent us from achieving success and happiness. These beliefs are so subconscious that we aren’t always aware of them.

With the help of a therapist, people can discover the fundamental causes of their suffering and reach a solution through self-discovery.

It is all about learning to utilize our own self-healing power to reinstate harmony.

This can apply on multiple levels – physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. Good metaphysical counseling will address all of those.

What does a metaphysical counselor do?

A metaphysical counselor is capable of healing not only the human mind but the body as well. They can help with various mental issues, including depression, anxiety, and loneliness, or any physical illness, by offering guidance and support to their clients.

A metaphysical counselor can help us navigate our way to health, success, strength, or anything else we desire. They also help clients understand their spiritual nature in this lifetime and beyond.

Each counselor will have their own approach; some will focus on the metaphysical properties of the things around you and how to use those to your benefit, while others will prefer working on your own inner world.

We are all exposed to various positive and negative influences that shape our daily actions, thoughts, and reality. Negative impacts lead to issues like anxiety, negativity, and close-mindedness.

Metaphysical counseling aims to free people from these negative influences and their effects.

Gaining a better understanding of ourselves and our connection to the physical and spiritual world surrounding us with the help of a metaphysical counselor gives us the ability to recognize these harmful influences and build a defense mechanism.

The root of these problems lies deeper than the physical, mental, or emotional sphere. To find a solution, we must target the source. And that lies at the deepest and wisest level of our being – the level of the Soul. Many life situations can only be addressed through the metaphysical laws, and the soul factor is always present. Metaphysical counselors teach us numerous powerful techniques and spiritual principles we can utilize to find the greater good in any challenging situation.

They give us the tools to find a solution to our life issues without a struggle, using less energy in the process.

What to expect from your first metaphysical counseling session

During the first session, the client answers a series of questions regarding their life and the issues that are troubling them.

The counselor listens attentively to understand not only the surface issue but also the stressful beliefs and patterns that are causing the problem.

Further steps depend on the specific type of counseling and the counselor you choose. But after a counseling session, the goal is for clients to experience a greater sense of inner peace and well-being.

Not a one-size-fits-all approach

Metaphysics is a versatile form of therapy, so it can be adjusted to the client’s changing needs as the sessions develop.

Therapists use a variety of counseling skills and techniques. They usually determine which method is the most suitable, depending on the client’s condition at that moment.

For example, you may focus on meditation to prepare yourself for success but turn to more conversation-based therapy to deal with anxiety.

As you and your counselor work together, you will find what works best for you personally. This is one of the significant benefits of metaphysical approaches – they are highly flexible.

Metaphysics can be applied to almost any condition and is incredibly helpful with issues regarding:

mental health
challenges in the workplace
relationship issues
dealing with stress and anxiety
understanding emotional reactions
unlocking habitual patterns
