SomaGiri

SomaGiri I am not just a seeker - I guide others through what they are carrying. With honour. With reverence. With open arms. There was a time I did not know who I was.

My work is rooted in truth, integrity & systemic healing - helping people release inherited burdens, return to their rightful place & live with clarity, responsibility and freedom. 🌿 A Message from The Ceremonial Elder 🌿

If you have reached the threshold in your life where numbness no longer suffices…
If the ache of disconnection from your own soul has grown too loud to ignore…
And if something a

ncient within you longs to feel again—longs to remember what it means to truly live…

Then I welcome you. I am called Gary, though names are only markers. What I truly am… is a man who has walked through fire. For 26 years, I have journeyed through the dark forests of my own forgetting. I have wrestled with the shadows of depression, the pull of addiction, and the ruin of broken relationships. I have stood at the edge of the void—twice—and lived to whisper my truth into the wind. I wore masks. I performed roles. I buried my pain in chemicals and distractions. And yet… a flicker of life remained. A whisper in my bones said, Choose life. And so I did. That choice—one breath, one trembling step at a time—led me into the fire of transformation. It began in June 1999, when I entered a training that cracked me open and revealed parts of myself I had long exiled. That work didn’t fix me—it ignited me. And I have walked the path ever since. I have turned over every stone. I have wept beside rivers and roared into the night sky. I have trained in Postural Integration in South Africa and London…
I have studied Core Regeneration…
I now hold the sacred lens of Family Constellation Therapy, walking with the ancestors…
I have stood in sacred circle through The Quest Institute, holding space for thousands…
I carry the rites of Munay-Ki and the prayers of Ho’oponopono. And still… the path goes on. Now, I walk beside the ancient teachers—the sacred plants who know the secrets of the soul. Entheogenic medicine has taken me deeper than I knew I could go, pulling roots of grief from my belly, burning away illusions, and placing me face to face with the one I had abandoned the longest—MYSELF. And so I say to you, pilgrim of the heart:
If you are ready to remember who you are…
If you are willing to touch the places within you that have been buried, shamed, or forgotten…
If you are seeking to come home to yourself…

Then I will walk with you. Not to lead. Not to fix. But to stand as a witness—steadfast, grounded, and deeply human—as you rise from your own ashes. Take a breath. Take that first step. The path awaits. And your soul already knows the way. With love,
🜃 The Ceremonial Elder

How much space does your trauma occupy?

Not the story. Not the memory. The space.

Does it live in a moment … or has it quietly taken ownership of your body, your breath, your belonging?

I wrote something honest about this.

The Atom of My Trauma

Read my new blog -

The Mother I Was Searching For

I spent years searching for the Mother I believed I never had.

Not knowing… she had been meeting me in different forms all along.

A grandmother who led without control.
A mother whose love carried both devotion and distortion.
A sister who showed me what it means to be held without condition.

And then more women… each one reflecting something I was not yet ready to see.

Until a harder truth surfaced: What I was searching for outside of myself was asking to be lived through me.

This is not just a story about women.

It is about what we become when we finally stop searching.

Herewith yet another GIANT I walk next to. I met Jenny in 2000 whilst studying Postural Integration.

Jenny facilitated my first Holotropic Breath-Work session and it was love at first sight.

Over our 26 year friendship she has held, assisted, guided, prayed for, laughed and loved me.

She does her work with humility, gentleness and love.

There comes a point where understanding is no longer enough.

Where insight does not shift the pattern.
Where awareness does not change the body.
Where you realise:

Something deeper is asking to move.

SomaGiri was not created as an idea.

It was lived.
Tested.
Walked.

Through the body.
Through the system.
Through the truth that does not negotiate.

This is a space for those who are ready to look honestly.

At what is being carried.
At what does not belong.
At what is ready to be returned.

Family Constellation.
Embodiment.
Plant Medicine.
Ritual.

Not as separate modalities.
But as one field of work.

The Emotional Body - From Story to Flow

Understanding
The Emotional Body holds our feelings, wounds and longings. Through psychology, we learn how emotions form - how grief, anger, fear or longing are shaped by past experiences, unmet needs and attachment patterns. This understanding is valuable. It shows us that emotions are meaningful, not random. Yet when we stay only in explanation, we can remain stuck in the story of why we feel what we feel, without truly releasing it.

Awareness
Awareness invites us to feel emotion directly in the body.
Tears moving through the chest.
Fear tightening the breath.
Anger pulsing with heat.
Joy expanding without reason.

Here, emotion is no longer analysed - it is felt.
As awareness opens, emotion begins to move again, transforming stored pain into a living current of truth, intimacy and vitality.
