We came back together in a week, and decided to try and see if it was just distance that we needed, and as we did this dance of trying to discover what it was that was pulling us apart, we grew a deep respect for each other’s process. However, in late February of this year, it was evident that the old patterns that clouded our beliefs were not going to go away without some other fundamental shift. Drew again felt pulled away from the concept of commitment that loomed before us and so I suggested that we do a Separation Ceremony. Drew, however insisted it be called a Completion Ceremony. His intuition was accurate as we were not trying to separate from the love we had created but rather to complete the patterns that held us back from experiencing the relationship we wanted. (Whether it is with each other or with another).
And so we met half way, serendipitously exactly equidistant from one another in Cambria at Moonstone beach bringing with us the following:
1. A list of all the magical experiences we loved about our relationship.
2. A list of all that we were ready to release from being in relationships.
3. Our personal vows to ourselves.
4. What growth we had seen in one another through having touched one another’s lives.
The day was exquisite. We found a private bench that had a view of the entire sparkling blue ocean. It felt like a place not unlike heaven, where we were our highest selves speaking to one another from our highest intentions. We spoke out all the different aspects and burned the list of what we wanted to release. As the ashes of the paper blew into the wind, we both felt a ripple of energy flow out into the universe.
