Experience a sound bath as you receive the healing and/or guidance you need through a guided journey assisted by optional cacao. Arrive 15 minutes early to make nest and get drink. We will do an energy cleanse, call in the directions, drink cacao, set intentions, be guided in the shamanic journey while you receive a sound bath, then there will be time to share your experience. Due to uninterruptible nature of journey, doors will be locked at 2:15 pm.

Drinking Cacao can increase the focus and depth your journey, as well as giving you a feeling of well being and open your heart. If you are allergic or have any concerns, you can do journey without cacao. 

Bring: An insulated mug if you have one, a journal and pen, anything you need to feel comfortable like a pillow, or your own blanket. Bringing your own yoga mat is appreciated. But there will be eye masks, yoga mats, bolsters and blankets available along with cacao and some insulated mugs.

Across many cultures, this season is a time to honor our ancestors and those who came before us. Traditions such as Día de los Muertos and Samhain recognize this as a sacred time for remembrance, gratitude, and connection.

Join us for a heart-centered afternoon of cacao, shamanic journeying, sound healing, and community ritual as we honor the lineage of those who have shaped our lives. Together we will create a community ancestor altar.

The afternoon will include:

• Teachings about honoring our ancestors from a shamanic perspective 

• ceremonial cacao direct trade from Mayan Wisdom Traditions (provided & optional)

• A guided shamanic sound journey to receive guidance, healing, and reassurance from your ancestors and helping spirits

• Time for journaling, reflection, and optional sharing

Please bring:

• One item for the community ancestor altar: a photo, keepsake or flower

• A journal and pen

• An insulated cup

• Anything you'd like to be comfortable lying on the floor (yoga mat, blanket, pillow, etc.)

Some blankets, bolsters, eye masks, and a limited number of insulated cups will be available.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to get cacao and make nest. DUE TO UNINTERUPTIBLE NATURE: NO ENTRY AFTER 12:45 PM!
