Rebirth Ritual & Healing Circle
Jul
15

Rebirth Ritual & Healing Circle

Join Botanica Melo co-founders, Claudia & Nalani and fellow healer and friend, Madre Jaguar, for a half-day experience focusing on cutting chords, sacred ceremony, and intentional healing for the heart & spirit.

During this session, you will be guided through:

Cacao Ritual, Chord Cutting Ceremony, Rose Blessing & Limpia (Energy Clearing), Shamanic Journey (Guided Mediation), deeply immersive Sound Bath, and a heart-to-heart sharing circle.

Embark on a transformative journey that begins on the opening of a thirteen-day cycle under the energy of "Tijax,” the double-edged knife, Obsidian. This sacred portal will be opened and activated on July 15th, calling upon the power of purification, healing, and liberation to restore harmony and balance within ourselves and our world.

Rose and Obsidian, our trusted teachers and allies, will be our guides in this profound gathering. Rose, the symbol of love, compassion, and nurturing energy, will show us the path of beauty, teaching us to live with open hearts and establish healthy boundaries. Her gentle touch will bring healing to our hearts, fostering emotional well-being, forgiveness, and a harmonious existence. Through the power of unconditional love, Rose will cleanse and nurture our souls.

Obsidian, on the other hand, represents molten lava, the fiery force that burns away what no longer serves us. With the power of thunder and lightning, this revered stone has been cherished since ancient times for its protective properties. It will help us cut through illusions, uncover hidden truths, and promote self-awareness. Obsidian embodies the transformative energy of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and the inevitable shifts in life. It will provide the strength and clarity we need to understand our true paths and embrace change.

We look forward to your presence as we gather in the sacred embrace of Rose and Obsidian. May this event be a catalyst for profound healing, self-discovery, and the realization of our true paths.
