How it works
-
First, book a free consult
This 30-minute call is a chance to learn about ritual games, reflect on how you’d like to play, and share current challenges.
-
Within 2-3 weeks, you'll receive your game
You’ll receive a personalized, self-guided ritual game blending play, story, and daily practice. Note: In July & August 2025, ritual games are free. You're invited to donate to an Indigenous land stewardship effort in place of payment.
-
You'll try it for 30 days, and we'll adapt as we go
You’ll try it out in 5–10 minute daily play sessions. I’ll check in via messaging to help it stay fun, purposeful, and doable. At the end, we’ll meet to reflect and decide whether to deepen, redesign, or close the ritual.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
My approach to designing ritual games is rooted in my M.A. thesis on community-based participatory learning, combined with immersive training in rites of passage, ancestral connection, and play. From 2020 to 2023, I studied ritual and ancestral work with Lara Vesta. Between 2023 and 2024, I deepened my skills in trauma-informed grief facilitation through Marika Heinrichs’s Embodied Ancestral Inquiry program and additional training with Shauna Janz. I also draw from experience in community organizing, improvisational theater, and Theater of the Oppressed (a practice developed by Augusto Boal, and I am particularly inspired by Barbara Santos’ adaptations).
-
Ritual games are in conversation with other creative modalities as immersive, expressive, and transformative spaces. They function as ritual containers—spaces of creativity and devotion and they are not clinical, therapeutic, or directive sessions. I show up as a peer mentor, offering tools rooted in lived experience, ancestral practice, and ongoing study. The focus isn’t on diagnosing or fixing—it’s about inhabiting a slightly different perspective in your life that you design and adapt with support.
-
There can be if that’s important to you! Games hold space for the mundane and sacred in their many forms. I welcome and adapt ritual practices to honor a wide range of worldviews—whether secular, spiritual-but-not-religious, or grounded in specific religious or ancestral traditions.
-
That’s totally okay. These games are not about doing anything perfectly. We’ll shape something that genuinely supports your life, and adapt it together as we go.
-
Yes. I’m available on Signal or WhatsApp to offer support, share ideas, and help you feel excited about and connected to the game.
-
Not yet, but that’s a dream! I live in Curitiba, Brazil and am in active conversations about building trans-local care networks that would include in-person ritual games and meet-ups.
“Building a ritual with Zoë was incredibly transformative. I left feeling so much more centered and grounded than when I began.”
