thanks for this! my partner and i have done something similar using a council technique we learned together in the past. creating that safe, sacred container and calling in guides and allies really transforms the space and allows in so much healing! i love your question process and the cyclical aspect of it (we do ours on the moon cycle too ;)). in fact, we're going to do one later today! it can be difficult to get this depth or clarity without setting this space i think due to emotions being too hot when the things actually happen so this is a great way to make sure we didn't miss anything. thanks for sharing!!
