​For this ceremony it is suggested that you have a circle of biodegradable red cotton and a length of biodegradable string.

​

Make holes around the circle to thread the string so you can draw the cloth together as a bag.

​

Find a quiet space to be, to discover the treasures of your life that have brought you to this point. That have birthed you so far in life. That have fed you, so you can now be birthed into the next stage, the next moments of being alive.

​

You may choose to listen to the drumming that I offer here to assist you. You may simply breathe into this quiet time of gaining awareness. see bottom of page for drumming track

​

This is an activity that you can do as many times as you feel to, so just one or two life treasures are fine to be aware of.  You don't need everything from your life so far!  Remember: 'keep it simple; keep it strong'.

​

How you choose to add these treasures to your treasure bag, your symbolic placenta, is yours to do. However please do use biodegradable materials as the ceremony involves the bag being buried in the earth. You could write on paper, or leaves, you could use natural items as symbolic representations of your life treasures. You may have received insights whilst listening to the drumming.

​

Take the time and space you need. This is your journey, your ceremony, your life.

​

Fill your bag with writings, items and gratitude for this life you have been gifted with, knowing that all that is no longer needed will be filtered away by the healing energies of earth. 

​

When you feel you have gathered all that is needed for this bag, close it with the string ties. 

​

When you are able to, take your bag to a safe location where you have permission to dig a small hole in the ground to bury your treasure bag. This is a gift back to Mother Earth for the life gifted to you. You may wish to include in your ceremony thanks and blessings to the unseen world we inhabit as well as tangible ground.

​

Take your time and offer the words and heart full breath of gratitude that is uniquely yours to do.

​

You may wish to plant a flower or small tree on this site of burial, just as though it were an organic womb placenta being buried in earth. For this treasure bag is acting as just that with all your adult intentions of thanks for the life you have been gifted and the life you have yet to live for the wellbeing of yourself and all sentient beings.
