Ceremonia quite literally changed my life. Before coming here, I was in one of the darkest places I’ve ever known. I had lost all sense of hope, connection, and joy, and I truly didn’t see a way forward. I felt I had no purpose, nothing to look forward to and genuinely didn’t think I would make it much longer. The experience I had at Ceremonia helped me rediscover life in a way I never thought possible. From the moment I arrived, I felt held, seen, and safe. The facilitators are some of the most loving, grounded, compassionate and wise people I’ve ever met. Their care, presence, and skill created a space where deep healing could happen. The workshops, the community, and the physical space itself—all of it radiated intention, beauty, and love. Every part of the experience, from the ceremonies to the shared meals, was filled with care, intention and heart. During my time there, I was able to connect with myself and others on a level I had never experienced. I felt something awaken inside of me- a sense of belonging and peace that I thought I had lost forever. I left feeling lighter, open-hearted, and filled with genuine gratitude and hope. For the first time in years, I feel hopeful and alive. This place has given me a second chance at life, and for that I will be forever grateful. My experience was so powerful that I’ve already decided to return for another retreat in a few months. I cannot wait to continue this journey with the people and the place that helped me remember who I am. If you are seeking real healing, growth, or reconnection to life itself, I can’t recommend Ceremonia enough. It’s more than a retreat—it’s a place where miracles happen.

This event wasn't what we hoped it would be. It was advertised as a decompression evening when we bought the ticket, but was later advertised as a burner party — two very different settings. It was more of a house party (a very expensive one at that). We didn't get to enjoy any of the amenities advertised in the event listing because no one showed us around when we got there or seemed to know where anything was, there were no real facilitators or leaders of the event. It was much more disorganized than advertised. We thought it would be a soft place to land but was in fact very loud and tough to integrate into. We left early after about an hour.

What a wonderful space and community.

I was a bit surprised and extremely disappointed at the price of the ticket vs. what was offered. The steam room was FABULOUS, but there were no dry saunas (as advertised), the cold plunges were not very cold, the hot tub was lukewarm, the flyer made it sound like it was on a lake, and that it would be a more organized event. I was also very surprised based on the price of the ticket that one of the two bathrooms had a dirty towel on the floor and as you waited there was a huge pile of dirty towels stacked up on the wall. It did not feel as much like an event you would pay for as much as a causal house party with a brief welcome ceremony. I would never ever attend this again. And $20 to park in the yard? Really? What was all the money used for?

Transformational! The best gift I’ve ever given myself. I would highly recommend this journey. the staff are wonderful and supportive. This expedience changed me in so many positive ways.
