Sacred Body Work Sessions:
Where Sacred ReConnects with/in You
​
​
My name is Sara Jolena.
​
From the age of five, I have been doing hands on healing work. Soothing anxiety, easing pain, and channeling energy.
​
For most of my adult life, I've pursued the theory and practice of social and ecological healing through crafting regenerative cultures.
​
I've worked as a minister, certified massage therapist and social change specialist.
​
Five years ago, Spirit started teaching me a different way of connecting the social, ecological and human body.
​
This is a different kind of healing work.
​
I call it Sacred Bodywork.

Online Embodied Spiritual Life Coaching
​
So much is happening. People need you. Our world needs you. You need yourself. And we are all, inherently, so small.
These coaching sessions take you to your next step on your journey, regardless of your spiritual practice. Combining eco-theology, energy work, art, music, and somatic engagement enables an incredible growth along your own healing adventure and capacity to be of service to others. I am also increasingly offering highly individualized training and support for healers and others in service to Her, whom I know of as The Gracious One.
Rituals
​
For individuals, circles, or faith communities.
Together, we co-design rituals for your needs, for these times.
​
Rituals may be created for the mundane - or the transformational. I've co-created rituals for completion, grief, life transitions, marriages, forest fires, hurricanes, loss, joy, baptisms, separations, or other aspects of this human ecological life journey.
In person or online support are both possible.
​
In person Sacred Bodywork
​
Often likened to going on a journey, these sessions are utterly personalized and unique. People bring physical pain, spiritual life questions, and grief or concerns related to our world to these session: everyone finds a shift towards greater peace or grounding. These can be akin to rituals or they can be "simply" super awesome bodywork sessions.
At the moment, only outdoor sessions are available, and utmost precautions are taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
In person healing sessions
​
Each session begins with prayers of thanksgiving and invocations of the Divine presence. Together, we listen. The session flows from what arises in our listening. Deep listening and attention: the heart of healing.
I draw upon:
