Prior to attending a 963 Aya ceremony I had done one ceremony at someones place in 2017 (was kind of meh and felt ill prepared) and then two retreat centers in Costa Rica, both for a week, at different places.

Since I had done the Costa Rica ceremonies, I was a little hesitant to do them locally (I felt like it would somehow be “inauthentic”) but I was going through some major life changes and felt that aya could help with a shift for me.

I went first to a women’s only ceremony and it was so beautiful.

Honestly, all my apprehension went out the window before we even started. Najib was great at explaining everything to all newbies, setting up the ceremony space and opening the container in a safe way.

I felt that the energy was impeccable and I actually loved that it was done early enough for me to go home to my own bed.

I came back the following month for a 3-day ceremony and was just as impressed.

The music, the setting, the safe space, the amount of people and the integration.. it is a WELL DONE ceremony before, during and after.

This may be my preferred way to go now.. it is literally ACCESSIBLE healing that a lot of folks couldn’t do or afford if traveling out of the country.

I feel so blessed its in my backyard.
