SomaGiri

SomaGiri I am not just a seeker - I guide others through what they are carrying. With honour. With reverence. With open arms. There was a time I did not know who I was.

My work is rooted in truth, integrity & systemic healing - helping people release inherited burdens, return to their rightful place & live with clarity, responsibility and freedom. 🌿 A Message from The Ceremonial Elder 🌿

If you have reached the threshold in your life where numbness no longer suffices…
If the ache of disconnection from your own soul has grown too loud to ignore…
And if something ancient within you longs to feel again—longs to remember what it means to truly live…

Then I welcome you. I am called Gary, though names are only markers. What I truly am… is a man who has walked through fire. For 26 years, I have journeyed through the dark forests of my own forgetting. I have wrestled with the shadows of depression, the pull of addiction, and the ruin of broken relationships. I have stood at the edge of the void—twice—and lived to whisper my truth into the wind. I wore masks. I performed roles. I buried my pain in chemicals and distractions. And yet… a flicker of life remained. A whisper in my bones said, Choose life. And so I did. That choice—one breath, one trembling step at a time—led me into the fire of transformation. It began in June 1999, when I entered a training that cracked me open and revealed parts of myself I had long exiled. That work didn’t fix me—it ignited me. And I have walked the path ever since. I have turned over every stone. I have wept beside rivers and roared into the night sky. I have trained in Postural Integration in South Africa and London…
I have studied Core Regeneration…
I now hold the sacred lens of Family Constellation Therapy, walking with the ancestors…
I have stood in sacred circle through The Quest Institute, holding space for thousands…
I carry the rites of Munay-Ki and the prayers of Ho’oponopono. And still… the path goes on. Now, I walk beside the ancient teachers—the sacred plants who know the secrets of the soul. Entheogenic medicine has taken me deeper than I knew I could go, pulling roots of grief from my belly, burning away illusions, and placing me face to face with the one I had abandoned the longest—MYSELF. And so I say to you, pilgrim of the heart:
If you are ready to remember who you are…
If you are willing to touch the places within you that have been buried, shamed, or forgotten…
If you are seeking to come home to yourself…

Then I will walk with you. Not to lead. Not to fix. But to stand as a witness—steadfast, grounded, and deeply human—as you rise from your own ashes. Take a breath. Take that first step. The path awaits. And your soul already knows the way. With love,
🜃 The Ceremonial Elder

The Emotional Body - From Story to Flow

Understanding
The Emotional Body holds our feelings, wounds and longings. Through psychology, we learn how emotions form - how grief, anger, fear or longing are shaped by past experiences, unmet needs and attachment patterns. This understanding is valuable. It shows us that emotions are meaningful, not random. Yet when we stay only in explanation, we can remain stuck in the story of why we feel what we feel, without truly releasing it.

Awareness
Awareness invites us to feel emotion directly in the body.
Tears moving through the chest.
Fear tightening the breath.
Anger pulsing with heat.
Joy expanding without reason.

Here, emotion is no longer analysed - it is felt.
As awareness opens, emotion begins to move again, transforming stored pain into a living current of truth, intimacy and vitality.

Invitation: 1-Night Group Journey

After Return to Love, we gather again - not to chase the feeling,
but to remain present when love asks more of us.

STAYING WITH LOVE
is the practice of keeping the heart open
when discomfort arises,
when truth must be spoken,
when the nervous system wants to close.

This is not about romance or sentiment.
It is about embodied love - grounded, honest and lived.

Friday, 6 February - 18:30 for 19:00
Amore Le Fleur
3 Ta**us, Boksburg

Energy Exchange: R3 000
(Includes plant medicine, accommodation & breakfast)

This journey is for those who feel the call to:

- stay present instead of withdrawing
- hold love steady in discomfort
- choose embodiment over escape
- let love mature into truth and action

Space limited to 8 Participants.

If this theme speaks to your body, your breath, your lived edge - trust that.

The Benefits of Love

Love opens the doors of the heart and the soul - allowing what was guarded, wounded or forgotten to be felt, met and gently transformed.

Love restores the body to flow, reconnects us with our ancestors and softens the illusion of separation.

In its presence, the nervous system settles, the breath deepens, and the body remembers that it is safe to belong.

In silence and sacred communion, Love becomes mirror, teacher, and bridge - healing the past, restoring the body, expanding the mind and awakening the soul to its natural state of connection.

Love reminds us that healing and transformation are not separate paths, but one unfolding journey -
the movement from forgetting to remembering, from fear to trust, from isolation to unity, from human striving to holy presence.

✨ Join us on our first 1-night Group Journey for 2026 ✨

As this year gently closes, I pause in deep gratitude for every courageous soul who chose to journey.

You came with open hearts and trembling edges.

You came willing to feel, to face, to remember.
You chose truth over comfort, presence over escape and love over fear.

Each step you took - through grief, insight, surrender, laughter and rebirth - has mattered.

Not only for your own healing, but for the unseen threads that connect us all. What you were brave enough to meet within yourself has softened the world around you.

We are all Pilgrims, walking each other home - hand in hand - witnessing and honouring one another along the way.

In this shared remembering, no one walks alone.

As we turn toward 2026, we do so with reverence and hope.

May it be a year of deeper listening, embodied truth and gentle courage.

A year where healing becomes lived, transformation becomes grounded and LOVE is no longer an idea, but a daily practice.

Thank you for trusting the path.
Thank

you for choosing yourself.
Thank you for walking with honesty and heart.

May the road ahead meet you with clarity, support and grace.

And may we continue - together - to remember who we truly are.

With love, gratitude, and blessing
Happy New Year

A Gentle Reminder for the Christmas Season

As the year slows and the Christmas holidays arrive, there can be a strong pull to relive the past or rush ahead into the future - old memories, old griefs, old expectations… or worries about what comes next.

This season offers a quieter invitation.
To stay here.
To breathe now.
To feel what is alive in this moment.

Presence doesn’t require perfect circumstances. It asks only that we notice:

•⁠ ⁠the warmth of a shared meal
•⁠ ⁠the sound of laughter (or even the sacredness of silence)
•⁠ ⁠the simple miracle of being alive, breathing, sensing

If emotions arise - joy, grief, longing, fatigue - let them pass through without judgment. Nothing needs fixing. Nothing needs explaining.

This Christmas, may we gift ourselves the most precious offering of all: our full presence.

Not the past. Not the future.
Just this moment - exactly as it is.

•⁠ ⁠Peace to your body.
•⁠ ⁠Stillness to your mind.
•⁠ ⁠Presence to your heart.

Blessings and Love
