Yia Alias is a Ceremonialist specialising in healing through Ceremony. She is currently living and working upon Darug/Darkinjung country in the Blue Gum forests of the Colo. Yia has been holding sacred space, counselling and honouring rites of passage for women for almost 30 years. She has developed a variety of modalities during that time including GirlStory, Journey with the Seven Greek Goddesses and New Way Walking. She has assisted people with ceremonial choreography ranging from weddings, loss, healing of birth stories and the many situations where the navigation of transitions is needed on the personal or collective level.
Her present passion is to support women through the eldering transition with a process she has developed called Bone Woman~Conscious Eldering.
As Yia herself transitions deeper into her own Eldering years, she is focusing her energy on the development of the Bone Woman process to be shared with all women and to continue with her podcast Close to the Bones: Womens Stories of Transformation. Her Vision is the activation of a New Global Community, where all Life is held Sacred and Reverence is Recognised and Restored.
