About
Braids Of Becoming Facilitators
Welcome! We are thrilled you are here!
We are Jessica Forman & Mimilia Suray, two mothers with a deep and sincere passion for the wild ways of womanhood.
We have both navigated many thresholds in our own unique ways - from being maidens in search of deeper truths seeking guidance at the feet of experienced leaders and elders, to being apprentices in nature immersions initiations awakening into our own feminine embodiment, to becoming mothers as we birthed our children forth and emerged as tenders to the hearth of family.
We are honored to be serving the community by facilitating, guiding and holding with an ever clear heart and mind, this sacred container of Rites of Passage.
Our Prayers are for all the Daughters and Grand Daughters!
Mimilia Suray
Mimilia is a ceremonialist specializing in rites of passage facilitation and woman's circles. She was born and raised in Puerto Rico. After taking flight in her early twenties, she focused her studies on holistic health and a ritualistic way of life.
She is a sovereign birth keeper supporting families in the many thresholds on the parenting path. She is a mother to four wonderful children, her eldest a thirteen-year-old maiden who inspired the journey of rights of passage facilitation.
She has walked a path in search of deep truths rooted in nature and the wisdom of the human body -- through dance, ritual, creative arts and an animistic approach to living life with intention. She has cultivated an awakened sense in the realms of threshold keeping as a village auntie to all who seek to enhance their lives via ritual and care, the beautiful path of puberty, womanhood and motherhood.
Jessica Forman
Jessica is a mother, herbalist and writer devoted to the poetic ways of living in beauty, responsibility and reverence. Her early travels and profound experiences in nature pilgrimage ceremonies deepened her connection to the earth and trust in the unseen forces that nourish, guide and offer their wisdom to those who listen.
When she became a mother, ancestral knowledge awakened within, anchoring her in a way she had never known before. This newfound ancestral resourcing expanded her respect and passion for initiations- that are essential for deepening in ones true essence and authentic embodiment.
Through her collaborative work with Mimilia, she creates sacred spaces for women and girls to tap into ancient feminine wisdom and deepen their communion with nature. Through storytelling, ceremony, women's health education and beauty making, she guides participants on a journey of self-discovery, helping them anchor into their authentic selves and ancestral knowledge.
As Jessica joyfully raises her son in the wilds of the Mountain West, she cultivates moments of shared enchantment and quiet reverence, letting them root gently into the rhythm of daily life. She sings while she works, loves an old story, and finds beauty in the warmth of her kitchen. Through her collaborative project, Salt + Gold: The Somatic Home, she guides others in the sacred art of tending to space, self, and home.
