FAQ Answers for Conscious Ceremonies
Effective Date: 08/28/2025
Here are some of our most commonly asked Questions. For more details about pricing a call is best so we can accurately provide a proposal based on your needs, desires and budget.
How far in advance should I book?
Ideally 2-3 months for most ceremonies, 6-12 months for Medicine Matrimony or large events. However, we've held beautiful ceremonies with just 2 weeks' notice when the timing and logistics were right.
Do you travel for Ceremonies?
Yes! We're based between Austin, TX & Chicago, IL, but facilitate ceremonies nationwide. We bring as much or as little supplies needed to ensure your vision comes to life. *Travel expenses are added to the Ceremony investment.
Can we have a Ceremony without plant medicine?
Absolutely. Sacred Medicine is always an optional offering and never required. Many of our most profound Ceremonies are held in pure presence.
What if I don't know exactly what I want?
That's what we're here for! Most people come to us knowing they need something but aren't sure what. The consultation and design process help you clarify and claim your vision.
Do you work with all spiritual backgrounds?
Yes. We honor all paths and weave a Ceremony that reflects YOUR beliefs and traditions, whether that's Christian, Buddhist, pagan, secular, or a blend of many.
What's your Cancellation Policy?
Once the planning work begins, 50% deposits are non-refundable but can be applied to future ceremonies if you need to reschedule. See our full Terms & Conditions for details.
What's included in a Ceremony?
Every Ceremony is unique, but all Include:
Pre-Ceremony Consultation to understand your vision and intentions
Collaborative Ceremony Design tailored to your story and needs
Energetic Space Clearing and Preparation before the ceremony begins
Full Facilitation with grounded presence and sacred holding
Ceremonial Elements such as altar creation, blessing rituals, guided meditation, and symbolic acts (cord cutting, candle lighting, offerings, etc.)
Integration Support through follow-up sessions or guidance materials
Depending on your Ceremony type, we may also include: vow writing support, herbal preparations, cacao or sacred medicine facilitation, music/soundscape curation, guest coordination, and ancestral honoring rituals. Everything is designed with intention, nothing is filler or from a template.
How long do Ceremonies Typically Last?
It depends on the ceremony type and your intentions:
Intimate personal rituals (cord cutting, uncrossing, name change): 1–2 hours
Blessingways, solar returns, seasonal ceremonies: 2–4 hours
Medicine Matrimony (weddings): 30 minutes to 2 hours for the Vows | Ceremony itself, though we're with you throughout the event day if doing Full coordination and Event based on your needs. Average package 1-3 days.
Sacred Medicine journeys: 4–8 hours of held space, including preparation and integration time
Custom Ceremonies: Varies based on your vision. We'll design the timing together
We never Rush. The Ceremony unfolds at the pace it needs to. Some moments ask for silence; others ask for celebration. We hold space for it All.
Can we Customize every Element?
Absolutely. There are no templates here. Only co-creation.
You have full sovereignty over:
The flow and structure of your ceremony
Which rituals feel aligned (and which don't)
The tone: joyful, solemn, playful, reverent, or all of the above
Who's present: private, intimate circle, or larger community
Spiritual or religious elements you want woven in (or left out)
Music, readings, symbols, colors, and sacred objects
Whether plant medicine is part of the experience
We bring our expertise, intuition, and ceremonial knowledge, but YOU are the authority on your own story. Our role is to listen deeply, offer guidance, and weave your vision into something that feels sacred, authentic, and whole.
If something doesn't resonate, we don't include it. If something matters deeply to you, we honor it fully.
Do you provide Ceremonies for [specific group/identity]?
Yes. All Are Welcome Here.
We hold ceremony for:
LGBTQIA+ folx (weddings, commitment ceremonies, coming out rituals, gender transition celebrations)
BIPOC communities (honoring ancestral lineages, reclaiming cultural practices)
Neurodivergent individuals (sensory-aware, flexible, shame-free spaces)
People of all spiritual backgrounds (or none at all)
Those healing from religious trauma
Folks navigating chronic illness, disability, grief, or major life transitions
Anyone whose story doesn't fit the mainstream narrative
We don't just tolerate difference, we celebrate it. Your identity, your love, your becoming is sacred. Period.
Our ceremonies are inclusive, trauma-informed, and designed to honor you exactly as you are. If we don’t already do it ourselves, we find the right facilitator for you from our network of providers. If you've ever felt like you don't belong in traditional ceremonial spaces, you belong here.
What Should we Wear?
Wear what makes you feel like yourself, comfortable, sacred, and free.
There's no dress code. Some people choose:
Flowing white or earth-toned clothing for a ceremonial feel
Something meaningful: a family heirloom, a garment from your culture, or an outfit that represents your transformation
Comfortable layers (especially for outdoor or longer ceremonies)
Barefoot or soft shoes if we're on the earth
Whatever helps you feel embodied, beautiful, and present
For Medicine Matrimony, wear what reflects your love story, whether that's a traditional gown, a vintage suit, a handmade dress, custom sneakers, jeans and a flower crown, or something no one's ever seen before.
For Sacred Medicine Ceremonies, prioritize comfort and ease, loose clothing, layers for temperature shifts, and nothing restrictive.
The most important thing? That you feel good. That you can breathe, move, and be fully present in your body.
Can we record or photograph our ceremony?
Yes, with intention and boundaries.
We encourage capturing your ceremony if it feels aligned. Many people treasure having:
Photos of their altar, their circle, their moment
Video of vows, blessings, or meaningful ritual moments
Audio recordings for integration and remembrance
Guidelines:
Designate someone to hold the role (a trusted friend or professional photographer/videographer). This keeps everyone else present and not on their phones.
For plant medicine or deep healing work, we recommend minimal recording, or recording only specific moments (opening, closing, altar). The journey itself is often too internal and vulnerable to capture externally.
Respect others' consent. If your ceremony includes community, we ask permission from all participants before recording.
Flash and artificial light may not be appropriate for some ceremonies, we'll guide you on what supports the sacred space.
If you're hiring a photographer/videographer, we're happy to coordinate with them to ensure they understand the tone and flow. We've worked with pros who know how to document Ceremony with reverence (and we can recommend some).
Our priority: That recording enhances memory without disrupting presence. We'll help you find that balance.
