RITUAL SESSIONS
A ceremonial container for working with the psyche through image, ritual, and the body.
Ritual Sessions are held for seasons of transition. This work is often entered during periods of grief, identity shifts, endings, beginnings, or after something significant has changed. A time when something internal is moving, but hasn’t fully settled or taken shape.
They are also held for intentions around embodiment and integration. Self-devotion, vows made inwardly, the release of shame, acceptance, or shifts in identity and archetype. A way of engaging more directly with what is present, in a space that is both intimate and creative.
( I ) INQUIRY
The container opens with a 1:1 inquiry call. This is a space to begin naming what is present, without needing it to be fully formed. Attention is given to what has been moving. Through dreams, memory, the body, and recurring patterns that have been asking for engagement.
From there, the process continues over the following weeks. Prompts, reflections, and active imagination is offered to stay in relationship with what is unfolding. Rather than trying to define or resolve anything too quickly, the focus remains on allowing the material to gather and become more tangible.
A second 1:1 call follows. By this point, what has been present often becomes easier to recognize, along with the places where there is resistance, hesitation, or friction. This space allows engaging with the material, including shadow aspects that may be shaping the experience in less visible ways.
From there, the groundwork for the ceremony is born. As something that forms in response to what has already been revealed.
( II ) CEREMONY
The work moves into a photography led ceremony. This is where the unconscious material is engaged more directly through the body.
The space is held with intention. An altar is co-created to hold the direction of the work, offering something tangible to organize around and return to. Elements such as objects, textures, sound, and environment are chosen in relationship to what has been present, allowing the space to reflect the material rather than shape it.
The ceremony itself is both guided and responsive. There is a clear container, while still allowing room for what emerges in the moment. Creative expression, stillness, movement, and presence shape the experience.
Photography exists within this as part of the collaborative process. Not only creatively, but as a form of witnessing and attunement. The images are created from within the ceremony, holding what was expressed as both integration and art.
( III ) INTEGRATION
After the ceremony, a sharing circle opens while the experience is still close. A 1:1 call creates space to return to what moved, to speak it, and to stay in relationship with it before it begins to fade or be translated too quickly.
Once the curated gallery is delivered, there is space to return to the ceremony through the images, moving through them together and holding what is seen and felt as it arises.
A closing 1:1 call follows, creating space to reflect on how the work has been integrating. What has shifted, what remains, and how it is being carried into everyday life, as a way of staying connected to what has taken form.
This phase allows the work to settle into the body and into daily life, where it continues to unfold beyond the container itself.

Heartfelt Words
“Cece! WOW!!! You put me in a light that no one has ever been able to put me in before, and I truly feel that these express the definition of who I am better than I’ve ever tried to explain through a photo before.
I’m completely speechless at the moment and full of gratitude for our session together. Words just cannot describe my gratitude for the way you captured me. Your gift is so seeminglessly integrated into who you are Cece. It was an honor to receive this energy from you. I am just so amazed about how these came out and feel eager to thank you a million times over :’)
I am just over here freaking out right now, so thank you thank you thank you thank you my girl <3”
“Cece.. when I booked this container with you I had no idea the layers of depth and intimacy that would unearth before me! I knew this threshold held so much.. so much uncertainty.. so much grief.. so much fear for the archetype I had never met within myself yet.
Yet you held such a gentle space. You have an absolute gift at making the depths feel light. I am amazed at the realm you reside at within yourself. Your ability to meet others deeply in such a way that evokes curiosity, inspiration, and creativity speaks to your embodiment of the work you so deeply believe in.
I am forever inspired and changed by our time together. And the art we created is the most precious keepsake that brings me back to a way of being. How I wish to relate to both my inner world, my body, and the world we live in.
Thank you for supporting me through this transition. For seeing me. For holding space as I engage with this new and exciting archetype. And learn this new version of me.”
“Cece I can’t thank you enough. You captured my body in such a fragile and emotional time. The beauty I see in myself actually is the first time I’ve felt that way since being pregnant and giving birth. I’ve been completely slumped, not feeling myself, feeling so unattractive — but these photos just remind me why. This is why. It’s so natural and beautiful to see me in this way. I had my little bean in there. I carried him along my journey and honored his existence with these photos and I get to see myself as beautiful and that is so so so special. I will forever look back at these so I can feel it <3
Thank you for making me feel so beautiful. You sparked so much inspiration I didn’t know I had in me with these photos.”
“The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.”
— Clarissa Pinkola EstES
( Frequently Asked Questions )
-
The shadow refers to aspects of the psyche that are less visible or not fully integrated. This can include emotions, patterns, or parts of self that have been rejected, exiled, or left unseen.
The work is meaningful because it is reclamation. Our truth and deepest potential live in the shadow. When we engage with this material through honest inquiry, dreams, active imagination, and what is felt in the body, we restore connection and relationship within the psyche, the body, and the whole of self.
-
Active imagination is a way of working with inner imagery as it arises. Images, sensations, or figures are allowed to unfold and be interacted with directly, rather than analyzed. This may take place through 1:1 calls, guided recordings, writing, or creative expression as part of the process.
-
Dreams offer a way for the psyche to express itself in image, often bringing forward what hasn’t yet come into conscious awareness. We explore the dreamscape together, and a dream journal is encouraged as a way to stay in relationship with what is emerging. The imagery and themes that arise help inform the direction of the work.
-
This offering is not centered around capturing images alone. Photography exists within the process as a form of witnessing and expression, rather than the primary focus.
-
The container is held over the course of two to three months and includes four 1:1 sessions, the ceremony, and integration support.
-
Additional 1:1 sessions can be added if more space is needed. This can be decided within the container, depending on what is unfolding.
-
