FOUND WITHIN THE FOREST
Home to the Wild Life, Our land is Hidden within the Forests Freedom. Surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of acres of National Forest, untouched by the outside world.. This is home to all of nature. Listen to the fresh running water, the deers and rabbits at play, the bountiful birds singing, and even a bear if your lucky:) Come home to the madrone, oak and cedar Trees. Our Pillars for our Prayers.
FOR ANY OF THE TIMES WE WERE
”SICK” OR “SUFFERING”.
”DISEASED” OR “DEPRESSED”.
DIDN’T FIT IN, OR DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO…
WHEN REALLY ALL WE NEEDED,
WAS FRESH AIR AND SUNSHINE IN THE TREES
WITH OUR PEOPLE.
SINGING OUR SONGS.
AND DANCING OUR PRAYERS.
IN SAFE SPACES,
THAT FEEL LIKE HOME.
WE DANCE OUR PRAYERS TO LIFE.
We will be entering the lands of safety through touch and sacred movement. Where we will bring play into our prayers. Movement into our emotions. Where our bodies become the breath, As we dance our prayers to life.
These movement practices are everything to Josiah and I, and it is a dream come true to share it with you in this way.

Beloved family! I am so ready to share our land, our home, and all of the answered prayers that this sacred space has blessed us with.

FAMILY! MEET JOSIAH SUNRAY!
A true living, walking prayer.
Josiah is a safe sacred space that creates a feeling of home within all who meet him. HE IS A LOVING BROTHER TO EVERY MAN AND WOMAN. He is a true representation of what a real divine masculine man feels like. HE SHOWS WOMEN WHAT REAL SAFETY FEELS LIKE. His heart is as open as his arms, ready to embrace you with so much love and compassion. His mind is as brilliant as his poetic freestyleS. His relationship with emptiness is an inspiration beyond and his medicine music will bring forth every emotion that has longed to meet you…
I AM SO READY TO SHARE THIS MEDICINE MAN WITH YOU.
(this man is so humbled that I had to be the one to share these words about him because to be honest… he never makes anything about himself. Jesus is that you man!? are you back!? jk jk… It’s JOSIAH SUNRAY :)
MARY MORRISON
MAMA MARE! THE ANCESTRAL CHEF
Hey y’all, Mary here I’m so excited to receive you all in this powerful container that we will be creating together! During this immersion, I will be whipping up delicious meals from locally sourced ingredients to support everyone in grounding into their bodies. Over the last few years, I have been diving deep into ancestral wisdom when it comes to nourishing our bodies on a cellular level — and one of my greatest pleasures is sharing these codes with others through my kitchen creations! After 6 years of being vegan, I started coming back to the ancient truth that this way of eating was not serving my body or mama Gaia in the ways in which I thought it was… and from here, I have not been able to look back. With this being said, I now love incorporating high quality, well sourced animal products into my cooking such as bone broths, ghee, meats, pasture raised eggs, and more. Along with these, I also still utilize seasonal fruits & veggies to keep meals balanced and vibrant! My passion for creating nutrient dense meals for my loved ones and community sets my heart on fire, and I’m so excited to share this medicine with you all!

TESTIMONIES FROM OUR LAST LIVING PRAYER IMMERSION
Oh LORD where do I even begin.
This life has been far from gentle to me, and while I have always found a way to persevere and survive, the last few years I was struggling to find a way to truly THRIVE.
You can meditate, exercise, go to therapy, watch what you eat, etc. But, true healing comes from community, in a space where you are seen, held, and loved.
I came across the Living Prayer Josiah and Ash were holding a year after leaving my abusive partner. It sounded too good to be true, but it called on me so deeply.
I took a leap of faith and my entire life has been absolutely transformed.
Never in my life have I witnessed a pair of humans want so deeply to share their love, gifts, and abundance with the world…. and DO IT, despite the challenges they have faced. They KEEP GOING.
Ash and Josiah hold themselves and those who are willing to trust them with absolute grace, acceptance, and so much love.
I will never be able to give enough thanks to these beautiful souls for what they have given me. They showed me how to live in true presence and gratitude, how to embrace this life in all its challenges, and that we are never alone.
The intention in each and every moment of their lives is nothing less than inspiring. Ash and Josiah, people who were just faces on my phone screen have become family, SOUL family, and will always and forever have a space in my heart.
They will not change your life FOR you, but they will give you all the tools, the support, the love, and the encouragement to make the changes yourself.
I LOVE YOU ASH AND JOSIAH FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER

What a heart opening weekend, Living Prayer was. The lands in Northern California that Ash and Josiah call home create the most beautiful backdrop to create sanctuary with the like minded hearts making the journey to gather. I have never been apart of ceremony especially with the utmost tender guidance and plant medicine teachers which is exactly what Living Prayer provided— and it changed my life deeply. I was one of very few men that made the decision to go and although the masculine energy is so welcomed and encouraged, bearing witness to the divine feminine in this setting really showed me the importance of softening, listening, feeling and tapping into my inner wild divine feminine energy. We all carry both light and dark, yin and yang, masculine and feminine. At the same time being a strong pillar to these women tapped an ancient sense of strength within me to hold space and be a loving protector to the energy created. With the medicines, oh Wachuma… how I thank you for opening my heart, cleansing my vessel and clearing space to see and move in tune with the waters that flow through us all. The evening of ceremony was so gentle and dreamy, I never wanted to wake up but we were given tools, song, and prayer to keep us in the medicine long after the retreat. I am forever grateful to you, Ash and Josiah. May we heal, may we love, may we listen, may we shine! And so it is. Aho <3
Living Prayer Immersion — an experience I will hold close to my heart forever. Moments after we all arrived we became soul family. Arriving at Living Prayer felt like coming home to the wisdom that lives within all of us. Ash & Josiah welcomed us with the most loving presence that allowed me to soften with so much ease & let go of any nerves I was feeling before arrival. The sacred plant medicines we were in ceremony with opened pathways of deep connection to our home ~the earth~, our ancestors & guided us to parts of ourself where healing was needed but not easy to see. So grateful for the nourishing food that was prepared throughout the entire immersion by our lovely sister Mary. Mary was so intentional in the kitchen, cooking with all organic ingredients, grass fed+grass finished meat, & raw dairy. Our bellies were ohhh so happy! Ahh & the medicine music, each song incredibly soulful, moving & inspiring. Each moment spent dancing, laughing, and sharing our authentic selves was a gift, allowing us to connect to all that we are & all that is. My heart is full of thanks for the divine blessings we received & the transformative experiences we shared, which has left me feeling so blessed to live on this earth & experience this beautiful life. Life truly is a living prayer when you open your heart & yourself to all the possibilities… knowing that without bad moments there will be no good ones. We don’t have to walk our path alone, we can allow ourselves to be silently drawn towards the people & experiencing that are meant for us if we keep doing the things we love while listening to our intuition. Our intuition is a guardian angel. Thank you Ash, for all the love you pour into creating the living prayer immersion. For helping us remember what it means to be a human & guiding us back to the home that is our body. - Destiny B
TESTIMONIES FROM LIVING PRAYER ‘23
There is so much to be said about the ceremonial space that Ash and Josiah provide for many that come to heal, awaken, strengthen, and remember. They sit with you in the highest intention, in absolute service to help guide you into the realization of what it means to truly show up. Whether it is the deep tears you always needed to cry for yourself, the story you come with, or for our sacred Mother Earth, whether it is the cacophony of somatic ancestral shedding, or wild and heartfelt laughter and play you always wanted to allow yourself to embody, or even just that gentle soft moment of powerful stillness that you can feel when acceptance runs down tingling your spine and relaxes your body in a long deep breath and a crystallized tear that runs down your cheek, this is a container of alchemy and pure reverence for each individual that seeks it. For we can do so much healing when we feel safe to. These are people that will hold you and love you, they make sure to support you in all you need when you journey in these ceremonies, and you will leave with a whole new family imprinted on your heart that will call you back to return again.

My time at Ash and Josiah’s living prayer retreat was transformational
and everything I needed in that time and space.
They weave together ceremony and daily life soundly and share a way of living every moment as prayer. With every breath and every step.
The ceremony space held is beautiful and safe. A space where anyone can safely journey into deep healing held by family.
The land in which we journey on is enchanting and holds you soundly.
I would recommend journeying with Ash and Josiah to anyone who’s interested in bringing more prayer and love into their own lives.
I’m extremely grateful for these two prayer warriors and their service in this time when it’s needed most.

Living Prayer was one of the most powerful experiences I’ve had the privilege of participating in ~ The depth of prayer is so real and every moment have an opportunity to expand into one’s true healing with self and our relationship to the world and all our relations The profound healing I witnessed is like none other , Ash and Josiah hold a real genuine space for deep transformational healing And FUN !! From the liberation of any suffering we carried , we were able to celebrate with true joy and many deep belly laughs !! We played , we prayed , we did the true work to transform our lives ! I really felt reborn and seen in who I am truly am , empowered to walk my life in a better way towards really walking my prayer in this world. It was one of the greatest gifts of my life to experience ~ It was a truly indescribable time together in prayer , if anyone gets the opportunity to pray in this way I would highly recommend it ! It will be the best thing you can do for yourself ❤️

Living prayer immersion was everything and more. Everyday I live alone in a fairytale, but something about being on that land with everyone was like we all were living in our own fairytales but also in one together. Every word that flows through ash and Josiah is divine poetry and brings so much beauty and imagination to the space. I noticed just being around them was opening up my creative channel deeper, I could get out of my mind and just be there with my breathe and practice the art of flow. I was free to just be and to flow organically. It was only encouraged and supported… this led me feeling safe to go deeper until the ceremony I’m completely busted open and my prayers to reconnect back to my deepest emotions came through. With them I was held by the divine masculine and feminine. I feel seen for my spirit and felt by my heart… and most importantly to me I understood in my truth.. there will never be anything like that experience again and I’m just so grateful I got the call and made it. My life is forever changed for it and I’m leaving so blessed and carrying home so much more love

The Living Prayer immersion was a blessing. I felt a full body yes committing to this experience. I am grateful to have listened to my higher self. Ashlyn & Josiah created such a beautiful safe space for souls to connect with one another. Sitting around the sacred fire crying with brothers and sisters alike, voicing our stories/prayers and showing our hearts, joined in the sacred space of masculine and feminine, finding that beautiful balance. And honoring the divine energies we hold. I’ve been to women only retreats, which are magical, but to gather with men as well was really special. We all need the healing- and doing it together, in song, in dance, in tears, in laughter, and play will heal the world. Spaces like this creates soul family and brings our truest selves forward. It inspires art and community. The biggest gift I walked away with was the act of holding another while equally being held.
