Winter Solstice Ceremony
with
Keli Semelsberger
Please join us in person in Kealakekua or by live stream this Sunday as Keli Semelsberger leads a ceremony in observance of the fall equinox. Participants will be invited to go on a shamanic journey, a personal meditative experience which includes a guided visualization and drumbeats of a certain rhythm, intended to induce an altered state of consciousness.
The ceremony will begin with community drumming, starting at 9:45. The main service will start around 10. The program will be live-streamed via the New Thought YouTube channel beginning with drumming at 9:45.
The service will take place on the lanai. Please bring your own mat if you want to lie down for the journey, and a drum or rattle if you have such ceremonial objects. (A few extras will be available.) It is fine to remain seated in a chair if you find that more comfortable.
If you are participating via live stream, you can drum along with Keli during the pre-service drum circle, and create a space in your home for a personal equinox journey. A video will be available on the New Thought channel afterwards.
Keli started her spiritual journey early. She grew up in an unstable household and assumed that frequent out-of-body experiences and learning to recognize helpful and harmful spirits were part of everyone’s life. Due to the violence in her home, she retreated often to the water and woods nearby where she was surrounded by friendly elemental energies whom she considered her “real family”.
In adulthood she tried to put this connection to nature behind her and form greater human bonds, but after a near-death experience and traumatic brain injury, she started having frequent, intense, and ill-timed visions. This forced her to seek out spiritual teachers as no religion could provide adequate insight. She spent the next 20+ years studying with indigenous practitioners from all over the world: Sagomas of South Africa, Q’eros Shaman of Peru, elders from various Native American tribes, and Huna here in Hawaii, among others.
Keli has since taken an oath as an ordained minister, medicine woman and as a servant to Great Spirit. She is a Reiki Master, Shamanic practitioner, Womb keeper, Ceremonialist, practitioner of energy medicine, and professional improviser. Keli is the author of the book Improv Shaman, and has published numerous articles in Energy Magazine about the transformative power of “Divine play”. She believes that nature and laughter can heal the world.
