Mayan Fire Ceremony

Mayan Fire Ceremony

Please come and join us for a Fire Ceremony to honor a very special day in the Mayan calendar. The morning will be full of giving offerings to the fire with our prayers and intentions with guidance from Aj Q'ijab, Mark Elmy. These are very special and powerful ceremonies and a gift to have Guatemala brought to the US like this.

The day 1 Ajpu is a very special day for several reasons. In the Maya Sacred book, The Popol Vuh, Hunajpu (1 Ajpu) is one of the main characters. He is one of the hero twins who bring the light to the world and start a new era.

Days which are numbered 1 are beginning days, days of rebirth and renewal. Ajpu days can also be seen as days which represent our spiritual journey, our quest to align with our higher purpose. Making a ceremony on this day is an excellent choice if you are looking to renew or begin a new phase on your spiritual path. It is a good day to ask for the illumination of your path, and the assistance of the light of the sun itself to show you the way. It is also an excellent day to give thanks to the ancestors who have shown us the way.


In the relationship with the hero’s journey, we could also see that the hero’s path is one of trials and challenges. They say that “the brightest student is given the toughest assignments”, although when we are facing those tasks they may seem impossible. This day and this ceremony are the perfect time to receive the energy to help overcome the seemingly unassailable. It may help us delve deeply into our souls and find the motivation we need to overcome the challenges we may face, emerging as the victorious hero.

Come and join us!

Seasonal Cacao Ceremony: Winter Solstice
Dec
21

Seasonal Cacao Ceremony: Winter Solstice

Join me in coming together to honor and celebrate the elements, the seasons, ourselves, each other, and this precious life as we share in ceremonial cacao. Bringing the love and wisdom of Mama Cacao’s Spirit, honoring the Indigenous protectors of Cacao, while we open discussion, contemplation, meditation/prayer, and song in connection with community.

For thousands of years the Indigenous people Central and South Americas have used cacao for medicinal, celebrational, and ceremonial purposes. The scientific name for Cacao is Theobroma cacao which means “Food for the Gods” and it is believed to have been sent from the heavens as a gift to mankind.

In this ceremony we will honor the winter, the longest night, death and rebirth, when natures power and our souls are renewed, and the official return of the sunlight that will now make its way back to the Earth.

Cacao is gentle yet POWERFUL medicine. When consumed intentionally and in ceremony, it subtly releases energy blockages and barriers that we unconsciously build against ourselves and others. It is a doorway to invite us to open to our consciousness and our hearts. Join me as we collectively create higher frequencies of love through our body, minds, and spirits.

I look forward to sharing in the healing power of cacao with you!

The Art & Ritual of Plant Bathing II

The Art & Ritual of Plant Bathing II

Water is magic. It holds memory. It brings us back to the womb. It carries our prayers and intentions. Ritual bathing is one of the most delicious ways of purifying and protecting our energy fields. Immersing ourselves into water also brings us closer to the Divine. It gives us a rebirth, recalibrates us, and in some sense even gives us a momentary death….returning to the water. Where we come from but to what we also return to.

Ritual plant baths have been used for thousands of years to cleanse our spirits, to attract love, prosperity, for protection, and all the things in between. We will review some of the plants we have discussed in the first class, you will learn some new plants, and continue to go deeper into the practice. This class will be hands on experience of giving yourself a plant bath working with ceremony and ritual in a collective safe space. In order to come to this class, you must have completed The Art & Ritual of Plant Bathing I.

I will give individual recommendations for participants for personalized baths.

Herbal Hand & Body Cream: Creating Beauty Rituals

Herbal Hand & Body Cream: Creating Beauty Rituals

Making your own Hand and Body Cream is not only fun, it’s empowering to create your own adornments. Once you receive the knowledge on how to make this nourishment for your skin, it’s easy to do and much cheaper than buying it from a store.

Commercial body creams are costly and filled with nasty additives that we can't even pronounce half of the time. These additives absorb into our body through our skin with evidence showing they disrupt our hormones, including our endocrine system. Our skin is the largest organ of the body and often ignored as a living part of us. It is vital for us to honor our temples we call our bodies and treat them with love and care.

As we make our own creams, we will do it in ceremony, setting intentions and prayers into our creations. Creating beauty rituals is an ancient practice that is easy to bring into your own self-care regimen. Weaving ceremony and magic into this beauty recipe with our loving thoughts that we will then be able to lather all over ourselves and absorb (instead of harsh chemicals :) ). I will discuss self-care practices you can do.

I will also briefly discuss the benefits of the ingredients including the herbs we will be using to make your very own Herbal Hand & Body Cream. We will make a batch for you to take home and the recipe so that you can make it in your own kitchen in the future.

All supplies included in workshop fee.

Price: $70

Where we come from but to what we also return to.

Ritual plant baths have been used for thousands of years to cleanse our spirits, to attract love, prosperity, for protection, and all the things in between. In this class we will discuss plants and other allies we can use to work with the spirit of the elements to create from our higher being.

I will give individual recommendations for participants for personalized baths. soon…

Creating Personal Ceremony
May

Creating Personal Ceremony

As humans, we thrive on creating ritual in our lives. Having a rhythm to our days/lives, can bring such a deep sense of inner peace. Connecting to a rhythm is such a simple remedy to living a more centered life. We are not just living on this earth, we are this earth and when we tap into the rhythms of Pachamama (Earth Mother), we find ourselves again and again. It sounds simple and once guided to useful tools, it is.

Join me, in this hands on and interactive morning, as I guide you through setting a sacred space for yourself, creating your own unique style into building a foundation to grow with your daily self care practices, with more intention, more self love, and more connected to your higher power.

Now is the time to really infuse these tools of personal ceremony into our lives so that we can tend to our well being. By doing this, we can show up stronger for our selves, loved ones, and the whole world through the ripple effect.
