Listen Later

Binyamina Aisha is in service to the mystery. As a ritualist and celebrant, they hold sacred space for the initiations of life - including marriage, divorce, transitioning, and funerals. As a birth and death worker they guide folks through the whole spectrum of the human experience - from conscious conception to death - using ancestral medicine, somatic practice, archetypal exploration, and channeled healing. They are also an herbalist working in the realm of energetic plant medicine and flower essences. They work 1:1 with clients and lead magical programs, trainings, and retreats.
