Divine Source, Sacred Spirit,
We come together in humility and gratitude,
Opening our hearts and minds to the gifts of the earth,
To the wisdom of the sacraments,
And to the light of your eternal presence.
May this sacred space be filled with love, peace, and protection.
May our intentions be pure, and our hearts open wide,
As we journey inward,
To heal, to grow, and to know ourselves as divine.
Guide us through this ceremony with grace,
Allow us to release all that no longer serves,
And lead us into the arms of truth,
Where we may experience your boundless love and wisdom.
We honor the spirits of the plants, the earth, and the cosmos,
As we walk this sacred path.
In gratitude and reverence, we begin.

We call upon you to surround us in your radiant protection,
Shielding us from harm, fear, and darkness.

Where healing can unfold in peace and love.
Guide each soul present,
Protect our minds, bodies, and spirits,
And allow us to journey fearlessly,
Knowing we are held in your infinite embrace.

And our hearts free of judgment.
With your protection, we move forward,
Ready to receive the blessings of this sacred moment.

Divine Healer, Source of All Life,
We come before you seeking healing,
For our hearts, our bodies, our minds, and our spirits.
In this moment, we surrender all that is broken,
All that weighs us down,
And we ask for your grace to guide us into wholeness.
Through the sacred sacrament before us,
May we be cleansed, purified, and renewed.
Let the wisdom of the earth flow through us,
Clearing away all fear, all doubt, all pain.
As we journey within,

Toward the place where we know that healing is not only possible,
But inevitable.
We welcome transformation, and we trust in your eternal wisdom.
Amen.

The growth, the transformation, and the peace we now carry.
