the radiant jedi goddess, jessie q, that i met at cowboys santarchy night, was hosting a going away party last night.
jessie q is spending the next three months in thailand. to see her off, jessie q's home was full of some radiant and conscious beings of light and love.

you got to be a bit out of your mind to strap a board to your feet and ride down mountains...
jessie was also having a name changing ceremony. she was saying goodbye to jessie q and becoming sheraka sphere, a name that came to her a few months ago.
there were only a few of us involved in the name changing ceremony, jessie q's closest friends. though i have only known jessie since we met in december, my life is brighter having known her. i am honoured that jessie included me in her close circle of friends. knowing that i have had such a profound influence on her life in such a short period of time makes me very happy.
the ceremony was held in the healing room of jessie q's home. there was a beautiful altar in the corner of the room...
the power of crystals presented themselves in raw form in addition to a set of crystal singing bowls.
the ceremony began with burning sage and a feather passed around the circle. this was the first time i had saged myself. come to think of it, this was the first name changing ceremony i had been to as well. i lived in nelson, so people adopting new names for themselves isn't that new of a concept to me.
jessie then asked for each of us to share our intention for sheraka, and any farewell or welcome gifts. there was so much love in that room. listening to people share their intentions and love, it wasn't hard to see that jessie surrounds herself by some incredible people.
my intention for you sheraka is limitless empathy that sets you free. my farewell gift was a photochopped pikcha of us the night we first met.
my welcome gift was a necklace and this printed image
other gifts included crystals, poems, even having her hands and feet washed. it was a powerful ceremony that i was honoured to be a part of.
after the ceremony, we rejoined the rest of sheraka's friends and enjoyed a delicious pot luck meal and some fire spinning in the backyard.
a dancefloor and chill space was set up in the basement where we celebrated together through expressive movement and rhythm.
this was one of the many paintings that decorated the walls of sheraka's home...even better that this painting was on velvet. old skewl raunch. schweet.

sheraka's parents had just returned from a week long retreat in hawaii swimming with dolphins. yup, the apple does not fall far from the tree.
sheraka, you surround yourself with so much love. i know that love will give you strength on your journeys. i am blessed to have you in my life. safe journeys to you, sheraka sphere.
