In Spirit: A Ceremony of Gratitude
For Those Grieving a Pet
Saturday, April 11th 11:30am-1:00pm
at Discover Your Spiritual Gifts
Whether your companion passed recently or long ago, whether their name is spoken daily or held quietly in your heart, you are welcome here.
This remeberance ceremony is not about fixing grief or moving on. It is about staying connected, making room for gratitude, and acknowledging the lasting bond between humans and the animals who walked beside us, taught us, and continue to influence who we are.
Together, we will gather in community to remember, reflect, and honor our beloved companions in spirit. The ceremony is intentionally gentle, spacious, and inclusive, allowing each participant to engage in a way that feels supportive and true to them. Whether contributing to our temporary shared altar space, recalling a story, or gently holding space for others... you belong here.
What to expect:
During our time together, you will be guided through a thoughtfully held experience based on the unique needs of those in attendance. This may include:
A shared altar space to honor your companion alongside other who have passed
A grounding activity to allow you arrive fully and settle into the space
Guided reflection on gratitude, love, and the enduring human–animal bond
Opportunities to honor your companion through intention, storytelling, or quiet remembrance
A simple ritual or symbolic act aligned with the energy of spring and renewal
A closing moment of integration, offering support as you carry your gratitude and spiritual connection forward
This ceremony is designed to meet you wherever you are in your relationship with loss. Tears, smiles, silence, laughter, and memories are all welcome guests, as well.
Who This Gathering Is For
Anyone who has loved and lost a companion animal
Those seeking a meaningful way to honor a pet in spirit
People longing for community with others who understand the depth of animal bonds
Individuals who feel drawn to ritual, reflection, and seasonal ceremonies
No prior experience with ritual, meditation, or group ceremonies is needed. This space is guided with care, respect, and compassion for all forms of grief and remembrance.
Cost: $54
A Note on Presence
This is a human-centered ceremony, held in honor of animals in spirit. Living pets do not attend, allowing the space to remain focused, quiet, and supportive for all participants.
You do not need the right words. You do not need a plan. Simply bring yourself, and the love you carry.

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.
