In harnessing the reBIRTH energies of the Aries New Moon, WE gather TOGETHER in CEREMONIAL CELEBRATION of what is NOW possible after journeying through the last year of the ‘Global Pause’. The Aries New Moon is ALIGNing with the ‘Galactic Return of the Year’ which heralds a moment of pause to BEHOLD what WE are COLLECTIVELY BIRTHING in this PROFOUND year of the Blue Lunar Storm.

In addition to a GUIDED meditation and candle-LIGHTing ritual, WE will share in a Despacho ceremony led by a dear siSTAR, Paige Ryan, Founder of Hill Country Intentional Healing.

Paige shares:

“In many shamanic traditions a Despacho -Payment to the Earth- is used as a ritual offering of thanks to the gifts we have received in our lives and to honor Mother Earth (Pachamama) and the Unseen World. These ceremonial intentions of love and gratitude are prepared offerings of Ayni ( sacred reciprocity).

I am deeply honored and called to lead the group Despacho ceremony so that we may create a beautiful mandala-like offering in Sacred Space with the intent to restore balance and harmony to our lives. The Despacho is then buried or burned in a sacred fire. This process involves intention and prayers with the offerings of such items as: flowers, tobacco, shells, man-made items, candies, poems, feathers, small mineral crystals, incense, seeds, etc. Each of these gifts resonate with the five directions of the Pachakuti Mesa to the guardians of Nature and the Unseen Spirits associated and all offerings have a deeper meaning and profound medicine. The small items that someone might want to offer with the additions of flowers is greatly appreciated.”

The ceremony will be held primarily outside to adhere to social distancing recommendations AND to COMMUNE with Mother Earth!

This will be the first SHINE in-person gathering at the Serrano Sanctuary since January of 2020…it will BE a true BLESSING and HONOR to coCREATE this SACRED SPACE with ALL who feel called to join!

In Lak’ech ( I AM another yourSelf),
