Dear beloved community,
You know the man—the kitchen wizard who crafts cocktails from the heavens, slays on the dancefloor, puts family and community above all else, and brings just the right dose of silliness to every circle.
Well this year on July 19th, Ariel is turning 40.
And while he may not look a day over 32, he’s crossing a significant threshold that’s more than just candles and cake.
I want to invite you - the ones who know, love and care for him the most - to honor this moment through a collective gift of support for his future. As Ariel always reminds us: we can offer so much more when we come together as a community.
💠 Why This Gift?
Many of you have already benefitted from Ariel’s devotion to healing, ceremony, and community—whether through retreats, receiving bodywork, sitting in psychedelic ceremony, or having him officiate your wedding!
Now, as he crosses the threshold into his 40s, Ariel is stepping into an even deeper commitment to his soul’s work by devoting himself full-time to psychedelic therapy.
A key step on this path is completing a professional training in Internal Family Systems (IFS); a powerful modality for healing trauma and strengthening relationships. In fact, IFS has already deeply supported both Ariel and Mallory in our personal healing journeys and in strengthening our relationship.
This training will not only provide a valuable certification, but will also be a transformational rite of passage and a way for Ariel to continue his own healing and evolution as a spaceholder.
🎁 Instead of traditional birthday gifts, I'm inviting Ariel's community to contribute toward the $3,990 cost of the IFS Level 1 training.
🎥 On this platform you can also leave a message, video, or photo to bless him on his path—something he can return to as a reminder of the love and support surrounding him.
🙏 You may already have other plans for gifts, or are making a big effort to travel to celebrate together —which is already a huge commitment and your presence is the greatest gift! So please, no pressure to contribute if this doesn’t feel aligned.
I simply wanted to open the door for those who feel moved to come together and create something extra meaningful as a community, to support Ariel in his next decade of service, healing, and growth.
Also, this is a 🎊SURPRISE🎊 for Ariel so PLEASE DON'T MENTION IT TO HIM! 🤫
With love and gratitude,
Mallory 💜
