In Spirit: A Ceremony of Love and Gratitude for Our Departed Animal Companions
Monday, October 27th 4pm - 5:30pm
at Discover Your Spiritual Gifts
Have you been looking for a meaningful way to honor and remember your beloved animal companion as we move toward Samhain and Day of the Dead?
With the veil thinner at the end of the year, join us for a ceremony of love and gratitude to celebrate their life and legacy.
Each participant will have the opportunity to share a story and a picture of the animal they are remembering, creating a sacred and supportive space for healing, love, and gratitude.
We will build an altar as a tribute to our animal companions, reflecting on the profound impact they had on our lives. Through guided meditation, we will connect with the love they shared with us, holding space for both our grief and the joy they brought into our hearts. We will then come together for a group ceremony, where we will honor their memory and the time they spent by our sides.
This workshop provides a meaningful opportunity to reflect, heal, and celebrate the deep bonds we share with our animal companions. Whether you are honoring an animal who passed recently or long ago, this gathering offers a space to share memories, express gratitude, and connect with others who understand the deep love we hold for our animal friends.
What to bring?
Bring any items that you feel best represent the animal or animals you wish to honor. These items will be placed on a temporary altar at Discover Your Spiritual Gifts, and you can take them home with you afterward.
A printed photo
A favorite toy
A small blanket or piece of a blanket
An item that evokes their scent, sounds, mannerisms, quirks, habits, or the feel of their touch
A love letter written to them
A written word or phrase that signifies their presence to you
A stone or item in your animal's signature color
Please note that space is limited. There's no need to bring everything on the list—just one or two items that truly resonate with you. There will be extra items available should you need help finding an object that sparks your soul!

A warm, supportive space to honor and remember your departed animal companions.
An opportunity to share a brief story and a photo of the animal(s) you're honoring.
Creation of a temporary altar to display your items in tribute.
Guided meditation to connect with the love and gratitude you hold for your animal companion.

Hi, I'm Jaime!
I am an Animal Reiki Teacher, Certified Companion Animal End of Life Doula, and personal Mesa Carrier in the Andean Shamanic Tradition. I dedicate my time and energy to supporting animals and their human companions during life's most tender moments, creating compassionate spaces for healing, connection, and transformation.
Specializing in Animal Reiki and End-of-Life Doula services, I help pets navigate chronic illness, anxiety, and aging while guiding their families with empathy and respect. As a certified practitioner of the Let Animals Lead® Method of Animal Reiki, I blend mindfulness and presence with practical expertise in animal health and compassionate, non-clinical support during end-of-life transitions. My role as a Mesa Carrier deepens my connection to the natural world and reinforces my understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings, enhancing my ability to support the emotional and spiritual needs of animals and their families with grace and presence.
Guided by my mission to spread compassion, I honor the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of all beings. My work reflects a profound respect for the resilience of the human-animal bond and the harmony that emerges when we embrace our shared journey.
Through The Empowered Companion, I offer a heart-centered approach to healing and renewal. While specializing in Reiki and end-of-life care, I also provide Collaborative Feline Behavior Modification and Compassionate Care Pet Sitting. These services empower families to cultivate harmony, connection, and well-being with their beloved companions.
