A Woman's Rite of Passage
The Sacred Self-Marriage Ceremony
A Woman's Rite of Passage
This was a full day experience where the ladies did some forgiveness work and wrote their divorce decree, divorcing themselves from the pain of their past. They participated in an Honoring Ceremony to practice the art of fully receiving, and then had an amazing lunch prepared by Chef Jen Lanning. After lunch, the ladies were guided in writing their wedding vows, focused on how they wish to show up in the world. The evening concluded in a Sacred Self-Marriage ceremony where we witnessed the promises made by each other.
I can’t even begin to describe how amazing Saturday was! Being part of a ceremony where seven incredible women married themselves was truly transformative. We each made a promise to embrace self-love, forgive past hurts, and commit to setting healthy boundaries. It was such a profound moment of self-acceptance and empowerment.
I felt a deep sense of connection—not only to myself but to the incredible women around me who shared this journey. It was a powerful reminder of how important it is to care for ourselves and honor our own worth. This day was a beautiful step toward healing and self-growth, and I’m so grateful to have experienced it with such an inspiring group. Here’s to continuing this journey of self-love and celebrating ourselves every day! ~ Nakisha Williams
