Colleen Thomas
I'm a ritual artist and meditation teacher, and I help people make sense of life through ceremony.
I work with people who are ready for a change but don't know how to make it happen.
If you're going through a life transition - or simply want to bring more intention to your everyday life - you’re in the right place!
The Shame Piñata Podcast will walk you through how to create uniquely personalized ceremonies for the important moments in your life.
If you stand in solidarity with Ukraine, the Everyday Magic for Ukraine Podcast offers short meditations to help keep your heart open and your spirits up. You might also find the Creative Ways to Support Ukraine list useful. (It's organized by topic, so you can dive into an area you already care about.)
The 10 Minutes for Your Heart series - available in English and українською - was created expressly for Ukrainians navigating trauma.
And if you're designing a unique rite of passage and want a thought partner, I occasionally offer 1:1 support.
I am a Certified Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness Teacher and I hold a masters in Creation Spirituality from Naropa University.
I am not Ukrainian, but I have been showing up for my Ukrainian friends every day since the full-scale invasion by:
Studying the Ukrainian Language through SpeakUA.com
Creating the 10 Minutes for Your Heart series
Curating the Creative Ways to Support Ukraine list
Offering Grounding & Stabilization practices through The Complex Trauma Institute (based in London, working with therapists in Ukraine)
I offer these resources “from the humble and limited perspective of an outsider,” in the words of historian Timothy Snyder.
