WELCOME TO JOY OF BEING

Joy is our birthright

In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of the four questions: When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?

Joy of Being was co-created with pure guidance and love

My name is Jane Celeste Sanguinetti and I have been stewarding this coastal space on Ramaytush Ohlone land since 2008. I recognize this land as profoundly sacred. In reverence for our Great Mother, her waters, and for all of Spirit’s creations, I aim to offer a unique space of beauty and magic to nourish every aspect of your being and to celebrate our aliveness together.

I was called here by the spirits of this land to connect with animistic ways of being and to provide teachings and a healing presence to our community. These deep earth-based ways have been medicine for my own suffering and for those I serve. Wise, loving, and compassionate beings mentor and work with me.

The medicine wheel inside the temple space is active and impeccably cared for. It extends to Fitzgerald Marine Reserve by the ocean, called ‘the healing waters’ and the ‘magical forest’ by some. Montara mountain stands in the north offering its guardianship and protection.

Working with Jane is truly a transformative, life changing experience. Yes, you will go deep. Yes, you will crack open. Yes, you will clear out all the things that have been blocking you. And that is no easy feat. But what you get on the other side is a connection with yourself, your spirit, your work, your ability to hold space, and to heal that is unshakable. I absolutely love Jane and the Joy of Being! I not only highly recommend the Luminous Path but I also highly recommend working with Jane in any capacity. She is a talented teacher, a loving guide and a strong healer. If any part of you is called to say yes - trust that tiny voice. I did and I am so glad I listened.

We can’t only heal ourselves individually when the troubles are systemic, cultural, and ancestral

We benefit from group transformative experiences where there is a strong intention and container

We need to feel a sense of belonging to find our way home

We crave intimacy with our relational field which is made up of humans, plants, animals, elements, land, deities, ancestors and more

My intention is to reawaken community experience as essential to human evolution and collective healing. I provide individual care as well as four transformational programs to support liberation, embodiment, wholeness and the experience of joy. As we each realize our truth through connection with self and all of life, we begin to have a positive impact on our world.

Joy of Being is an incredible healing and community space. The events are always so profound and beautiful and nourishing to the soul. Jane is one of the most phenomenal healers I have ever worked with. She practices true feminine shamanism in ways that work with the body, heart, mind and Soul. I am so grateful for Jane and the Joy of Being. The space is very Sacred.
