We Carry More Than Memories.

We carry their stories.

Their courage.

Their story.

Their traditions.

The love they left behind.

Some we knew intimately. Others we know only through photographs, stories, or the things they left behind.

Their lives shaped ours in ways we may never fully understand.

Some inheritances are worth preserving. Others were never meant to become our destiny.

This day is an invitation to remember those who came before us, honor their gifts they left behind, and choose what we carry forward.

Joaquina

Founder of Breaking the Spell | Shaman, Guide

Joaquina's work was born from profound personal loss, more than two decades of spiritual study, and a deep exploration of what it means to reclaim your life.

With over 15 years of clinical experience in Chinese Medicine and extensive training in ancestral and ceremonial practices, she brings together ancient wisdom, body-based awareness, and lived experience.

She loves to create spaces where people can honor the stories that shaped them, reconnect with their own truth, and discover what is ready to emerge.

During our gathering, Joaquina will guide the ancestral reflections and a healing and activation ceremony, inviting you to connect with your lineage and make space for what you are ready to bring into the world.

Sometimes honoring our ancestors means having the courage to live a life they never could

Meet your facilitator

Suzanne

Creative Facilitator | Art & Personal Expression

For over 20 years, Suzanne has supported others in navigating life's transitions, finding new perspectives, and reconnecting with themselves.

Her work is rooted in more than professional experience. Having walked through profound personal challenges and her own process of rebuilding, Suzanne understands that the most meaningful changes often ask us to see ourselves and our lives differently.

She brings this understanding into her creative work, using art, writing, and reflection to create spaces where people can explore their stories, discover what matters to them, and express what words alone cannot always capture.

During our gathering, Suzanne will guide you in creating a personal ancestor doll—an expression of the gifts, stories, and qualities you choose to carry forward.

What we create with our hands can reveal something we have been carrying in our hearts

Giving Form to What We Carry

What would it look like to give form to the gifts of your ancestors?

Your finished doll will become part of our closing ceremony and something you can take home as a reminder of the day.

Give form to your ancestral connection through intuitive art-making.

Explore the images, symbols, and qualities that speak to you.

Create a personal doll that embodies what you choose to carry forward.

At the Edge of Becoming with Joaquina

An Ancestral Healing & Activation Ceremony

What is waiting within you to be brought into the world?

Through guided breathwork, energy healing, and ceremony, we will enter a space of connection with our ancestors, our own stories, and the deeper parts of ourselves.

Together, we will explore what we have inherited, what we are ready to release, and the gifts that are asking to be expressed through us.

This is an invitation to meet your energetic edge—the place where the familiar ends and something new begins.

Through breath, presence, and intention, we will make space for what is ready to emerge, allowing each person to move at their own pace.

An honoring of where you come from. An invitation to bring more of who you are into the world.

Connect with your ancestors and the stories that have shaped you.

Explore your energetic edge and what is ready to emerge.

Make space for the gifts, truth, and creative expression you are ready to bring into the world.
