All of that changed when Sarah was introduced to Ceremony. After hearing "you're not who you think you are" while sitting in Ceremony and feeling the nudge from the Goddess to become a Priestess – she dove headfirst into training and ultimately became an Ordained Priestess.   Sarah has a way of making spiritual work incredibly approachable and reaches over 100,000 people all over the world.
