Testimonials

Daniel Robert

“John held a cord-cutting ceremony for myself and my ex-partner.
We had failed to tend the closing of our partnership effectively and our breakup had left a crater in our lives and in our community. We were stuck in bitterness and unresolved feelings about the ending, a negativity loop which persisted for years. John was able to design and facilitate a proper closing for us. A ritual experience that allowed us to come together and finally put the past to rest, while simultaneously reclaiming the joy of our shared memories and deep care for one another.
John artfully guided us before, during, and after the event. He was there every step of the way, skillfully tending to our individual needs throughout the process, and ultimately holding a clean ceremonial container in which he facilitated a true alchemy in an otherwise hopeless situation. Without hesitation I recommend John and his services to any who are in need of transformational support of this kind.”

“I am truly grateful to be on the other side of a powerful closing ceremony that John held for my previous partner and I. It was incredible to have the space to find self responsibility, forgiveness and appreciation. It is such an uncommon thing in our culture to know how to move on from love, and from pain. This ceremony with John helped us do this beautifully, along with a circle of our closest friends. It allowed us to let go of the past, and move forward, into what turned into a beautiful friendship. The results rippled out and mended rifts in the friendships around us as well - as is also often needed after a relationship ends. I am forever grateful to John for holding this with such deep care, and supporting us in the healing that was wanting to take place.”
