Work With Shiva Honey

Counsel for those in the midst of becoming.

We all encounter thresholds in life.

Moments of grief and uncertainty. Moments of becoming. Moments when an old story is ending and a new one has not yet begun.

For most of human history, people sought counsel during these times. They turned to priestesses, wise women, healers, elders, and guides who could help them listen more deeply to what was unfolding.

I am an award-winning author of six books, a death doula and grief worker, and a ceremonial artist whose work has been featured in CNN, NPR, TIME, and the New York Times. My work continues that tradition through several distinct pathways.

Whether you are navigating loss, contemplating legacy, bringing a creative work into the world, or seeking guidance at a crossroads, you'll find the different ways we can work together below.

There are several ways to work with me:

Private Priestess Session

Clarity, direction, and high-level advising when you need it.

If you're unsure where to begin, I recommend starting with a Private Priestess Session.

For most of human history, people sought counsel from priestesses, wise women, healers, elders, and oracles when they found themselves standing at a crossroads.

They came in times of grief, uncertainty, transition, creativity, devotion, illness, love, loss, and transformation. They sought guides who offered perspective, wisdom, and a space to listen deeply to what was unfolding.

Women who knew how to sit with what couldn't be fixed. Who understood that grief and desire and uncertainty and transformation are not problems to be solved, but territories to be moved through.

A Private Priestess Session is a modern expression of that tradition.

We'll work with what is present—grief, transition, creative stagnation, spiritual questions, relationships, purpose, or the unnamed thing you haven't said out loud yet.

Together, we'll reflect on where you are, what is emerging, and what feels true.

Following our session, you'll receive written reflections, key themes, recommendations, and suggested next steps to support you moving forward.

In this session we:

  • Assess where you are and what stage your project is truly in

  • Identify what’s working, what’s not, and what’s missing

  • Work through a specific challenge point or friction

  • Refine your concept, positioning, and direction

You leave with:

  • 2–3 concrete next steps you can take immediately

  • A grounded understanding of what your project actually needs

Includes:

  • 45-minute private strategy call

  • Pre-call intake form for context and focus
