The Heart Behind This
Melissa Gadsden
Ceremonial Guide | Community Ritualist | Founder
Meli is a ceremonial guide and founder whose work brings together ceremony, creativity, community and inner work. She creates spaces where people can slow down, reconnect, and remember the wisdom already within them.
From an early age, Meli has been sensitive to energy, people and environments. That awareness has stayed with her and shapes how she listens and holds space in ceremony and sessions.
Her work is now recognised beyond the wellness space, with GPs, psychologists and psychiatrists referring clients to her for deeper personal exploration and connection.
A Path Shaped by Place
Meli’s relationship with ceremony has been shaped over many years and many places: Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Mount Shasta, Sedona, and a decade living and working in California. Each place, teacher and chapter offered its own learning and initiation.
She doesn’t belong to one single tradition. Her path has been shaped by the people she has learned from, the practices she has encountered, and above all her own lived experience. She approaches this work with curiosity, humility and respect for the traditions each practice comes from.
Regenerate Wellness Collective
The community heartbeat of Meli’s work: a sanctuary for ceremony, sound, and connection. Private and small group sessions are held in Northern Beaches NSW and Mornington Peninsula VIC.
