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 a

ncient 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

It gives me immense please to introduce The Still Point - a new venture started by Lisa and Yolandi.

Two incredible, dedicated, gentle, powerful and beautiful woman I have had the privilege of sharing teachings, energy and love with over the last two years.

I experienced their work when they Watched a deep personal Journey for me.

I was blown away by their gentleness, caring, insights, holding and presence.

Without me planning to or expecting to - Lisa and Yolandi guided me to a place I NEVER thought I would open and process. Their gentle holding enabled me to look at, release and integrate the one things I thought I have locked behind such an immensely thick wall that nobody will ever get to.

I recommend their work, I celebrate their path and I am grateful to have been in their Light.

MY PERSONAL PATH ON THE AWAKENING PILGRIMAGE

For much of my life, pain created movement.

Survival created movement.
Fear created movement.
Trauma gave me something to push against.

But over the last 11 moons of the Awakening Pilgrimage, I have found myself facing a very different question:
If I no longer use my trauma to propel me forward, what will I use?

I began the Pilgrimage believing I understood much of what we would explore.

I did not expect how much I would be changed by walking it.

I have learned about wholeness before woundedness.
About the cost of over-giving.
About what belongs to me - and what does not.
About saying no without abandoning love.
About what safety actually feels like in my body.
And about learning to give myself what I spent so many years hoping the world would give me.

Perhaps this is the movement now.

Not running from what wounded me.
But walking towards what nourishes me.

I have written about my personal journey in our newest SomaGiri blog.

I invite you to read it.

And perhaps ask yourself:
What would begin moving your life if pain no longer had to?

*The Cocoon of My Transformation*

What if healing trauma is less about fixing ourselves and more about surrendering to a sacred process of transformation?

In my latest newsletter, I explore the profound parallels between the butterfly’s metamorphosis and our own healing journey. The caterpillar, the cocoon, and the emergence of something entirely new have become powerful symbols for the way our energy bodies hold and support deep transformation.

If you are walking a path of healing, growth and awakening, I invite you to read this month’s reflection.

Trust the cocoon.
Trust the process.
Trust your becoming.

How much space does your trauma occupy?

Not the story. Not the memory. The space.

Does it live in a moment … or has it quietly taken ownership of your body, your breath, your belonging?

I wrote something honest about this.

Read my new blog -

The Mother I Was Searching For

I spent years searching for the Mother I believed I never had.

Not knowing… she had been meeting me in different forms all along.

A grandmother who led without control.
A mother whose love carried both devotion and distortion.
A sister who showed me what it means to be held without condition.

And then more women… each one reflecting something I was not yet ready to see.

Until a harder truth surfaced: What I was searching for outside of myself was asking to be lived through me.

This is not just a story about women.

It is about what we become when we finally stop searching.

Herewith yet another GIANT I walk next to. I met Jenny in 2000 whilst studying Postural Integration.

Jenny facilitated my first Holotropic Breath-Work session and it was love at first sight.

Over our 26 year friendship she has held, assisted, guided, prayed for, laughed and loved me.

She does her work with humility, gentleness and love.
