Sacred Ceremonies
Home of the Heart’s Ceremonies follow traditions in our South American lineage with adaptations aligned with North America. We serve Ayahuasca Sacrament and hold space and pray with a variety of songs, sounds, and silence.
Ceremony Setting
Since 2009, Valerie Brightheart has been serving ceremonies as a Medicine Woman and Spiritual Leader of ONAC Soncco Wasi Home of the Heart (HOTH). Every Ceremony is supported by a team of Medicine People, Gatekeepers and Guardians; a blessing of highly trained, experienced, and outstanding teammates who are deeply committed to this path of service. Together, we hold a physical, spiritual, and energetic container for awakening and healing.
Sitting in Ceremony
Each Ceremony is a unique and divinely inspired experience of healing, expansion, and connection with one’s innate wisdom. The Home of the Heart team serves Ceremonies to support each person’s connection with Great Spirit so they may be empowered to walk their own unique, sacred, and fully self-expressed path.
Preparation & Integration
Upon reserving your space in Ceremony, you will receive materials to help prepare your body, mind, and spirit for your experience. Home of the Heart also offers preparation and integration coaching services for those seeking to receive the most from their Ceremonies. If you are interested, please email us to inquire about these coaching packages.
