PRIVATE OVERNIGHT CEREMONY

WITH HYMNJ

There are moments in life when something inside you knows it is time. Not time to read another spiritual self-help book, attend another workshop, or talk through the same patterns in another therapy session. Time to go to the source. To enter the mystery directly. To let something older and wiser than your thinking mind show you what you cannot see from where you are standing.

A private overnight ceremony is the most intimate and powerful container I offer. The medicine, the music, the facilitation – everything is oriented around you and your journey. There is no group dynamic to navigate, no shared timeline to accommodate. Just you, the sacred space, and a facilitator who holds the night entirely in service of what wants to move in you.

YOUR PRIVATE CEREMONY

What the night holds

Arrival & Preparation
You arrive in the late afternoon at our ceremony space. We begin unhurried – settling in together, lighting the fire of intention, smudging, and creating the ceremonial container. We talk about the medicine, about your intention, about how to navigate what arises. Nothing begins until you feel grounded, safe, and genuinely ready.

The Journey
The sacrament is received when the time is right – not by the clock, but by the readiness of the space. What follows is a journey of four to six hours, held from beginning to end with live medicine music, vocal sound, intentional silence, and the quiet, steady presence of your facilitator. You will not be left alone. You will not be managed or directed. You will be witnessed, held, and if needed, guided back to your own centre.

The Closing
As the medicine completes its work, we close the ceremony gently – warm tea, a light meal, quiet conversation, the particular kind of stillness that follows deep inner work. You sleep in the ceremonial space and rise into a morning of gentle breathwork, somatic integration, and unhurried reflection. These morning hours are not a formality. They are where the night’s revelations land in the body and begin to become your life.

Integration Support
The ceremony is the beginning, not the end. In the days and weeks that follow, you will be supported through our integration process – reflection prompts, check-in conversations, and where appropriate, a micro-dosing protocol to anchor and deepen what emerged in the night.

 

 

SOUNDSCAPE

Music is not background in this work. It is medicine in its own right.

Every sound that moves through the ceremony space is intentional – from the opening smudge to the final silence of the morning. Live guitar, voice, overtone instruments, and silence itself are woven together to create an auditory field that moves with your journey. The music does not perform at you. It holds you, lifts you, and when necessary, carries you through the difficult passages.

This is one of the things that makes Wake Circle ceremonies distinctive. The facilitator is also the musician. The space is always attended. The field is never dropped.

WHO IS THIS FOR

A private ceremony is ideal for:

– Those seeking deep, focused personal work without group dynamics
– Couples or close companions who wish to journey together in a shared container
– Those returning to the medicine with a specific intention or unresolved thread
– Those for whom privacy and confidentiality are paramount
– First-timers who feel called to a more intimate, closely held experience

If you have arrived at the end of this page, something in you is already listening.

You do not need to be certain. You do not need to have it all figured out. You only need a genuine yes – not a polite one, not a cautious one, but the kind that comes from somewhere below the thinking mind.

When that yes is present, take the next step. Fill in the form below. We will connect, speak to what you are bringing, and find out together whether this is the right container for this moment of your life.

I will meet you there.

“I travelled over 12,000 km and more than a day for a one-on-one session with Hymnj. Discovering his website, reading his writings, and listening to his music suggested I had found that person. I knew Hymnj was always there and that I was safe. We may have only spent a couple of hours together, but I doubt I will ever forget him and the gift he gave me.”

This is not just a novel experience. You are investing in your own intrinsic human and spiritual evolution. Months of profound exploration and healing can unfold in a matter of hours. Whatever you have read or heard cannot prepare you for what is beyond this door.

This work requires a clear inner yes. As ceremony draws near, resistance often becomes more creative – showing up as illness, sudden doubt, or unexpected reasons to delay. This is natural, and it does not mean something is wrong. Often, it means something is right: the medicine is already beginning to move in you, and the part that fears change is starting to stir. For this reason, we ask that you commit with both feet in – not conditionally, not with one hand still on the door. If the yes is still unclear, honour that honestly and wait until it is. But when it is clear, I will be fully in this with you, and that meeting will be real. The ceremony begins when you commit – not when you arrive.

Once you fill out this basic enquiry form, I will set up a video call with you to meet face-to-face so that we can connect and feel each other out, establish intentions, and have any questions answered.
