  • Georgia Wall

    Artist, Ceremonialist, Mother

    Georgia is a Ceremonialist based in New York City. Georgia seeks to uncover the specific inner ceremony that an individual or a group carries within them— the ceremony that is necessary and arising for the given moment, born from lived experience. Her ceremonies are co-created with the people she works with and are born out of an emergent process of deep conversation, listening, reflecting and imagining.

    Georgia also guides people through a deep and personal experience as a Ceremonial Companion, supporting individuals in coming to understand their life through a more mythic and poetic lense. Learn more about it here.

    Georgia holds a BA from Oberlin College and an MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is also a certified yoga instructor (Sivananda Yoga Vedanta) and mindfulness teacher (A Still Quiet Place).
