I found my way to the 963 tribe whilst struggling for the last 2 years to grieve the loss of my son. From the very first contact with the tribe my soul felt heard, acknowledged and safe. Any questions I had about plant medicine/ ceremony were answered thoroughly and respectfully.

I chose the divine feminine ceremony as my first to sit with other individuals sharing the same energy. Immediately upon my arrival I felt welcomed into the tribe. The facilitator, Najib gathered the group and gave us an overview of the ceremony and answered all our questions. Once we were all sufficiently prepared we were called to start the ceremony. Our guardians were clearly identified and I felt safe and supported. The ambiance was perfect, the souls sharing the journey were all beautiful individuals.

I had no expectations just a strong intention to be more comfortable in my grief . I find it difficult to put my experience with mother aya and the tribe into words . I felt the presence of my predeceased ancestors holding me during my journey of what felt like space and time. I felt guided through my life’s path to the point of my son’s passing. It was here that I felt the door to my grief open and for the first time since my son died, I experienced the reality and sadness of his parting. I comfortably and authentically held that space for him as long as was needed. It was like a gentle wave of acceptance and relief . Not once was I overwhelmed with the emotional release – it was as if my soul was given what it needed and no more than I could handle. The choice of icaros felt divinely selected to move me through my journey. Najib facilitated with his touching voice and musical acumen. His guidance and insight is a gift to the tribe.

The post ceremony integration onsite immediately following was as essential to my journey as the actual ceremony. It was beautiful to have others hold space with me in my grief. Insights gained in my spiritual journey were fortified through Najib and the other participants.

If you are seeking a place to work with plant medicine while feeling safe and supported- this is absolutely the place for you. I can’t wait to sit with the tribe again.
