Ancestral Flame

✦ AURORA RETREAT: THE ANCESTRAL FLAME

A sacred weekend of ceremony, healing, and reconnection

Is your soul asking for pause?
Not just to rest the body, but to reconnect with something deeper.
To feel. To release. To remember.
To return to what has always been sacred within you.

At the heart of this retreat lives the Ancestral Flame,
a symbol of the inner fire that has never gone out.
The flame you carry in your bones, lit by those who walked before you.
The flame that flickers when your soul whispers, “There is more.”

This is a ceremonial space for those ready to tend that flame.
To rekindle their connection with Spirit, lineage, and self.
To slow down. To heal gently.
To walk with others in reverence and truth.

 A Jungian psychoanalyst, ceremonialist, Spiritual Guide, and spiritual teacher, Eduardo offers a grounded path of healing through plant medicine, ancestral connection, and emotional depth.

It is a space to awaken the sacred spark within you.
To listen to what is alive beneath the surface.
To remember that you are never walking alone.
Each ritual, each breath, and each moment of silence feeds the flame.
The one passed through your lineage, now ready to burn in your own hands.

You will be held in a field of psychological safety, spiritual reverence, and embodied integration. Whether you are entering ceremony for the first time or returning to deepen your path, you are welcomed here. Fully. Gently. With care.

🍃 Energetic cleansing and sacred rituals to open the ceremonial field

We begin by cleansing our field, individually and collectively.
With sacred herbs and ancestral smoke, we invite protection, clarity, and presence.
This is the lighting of the flame, the first breath of our shared altar.

Eduardo offers guidance around safety, sacred boundaries, and what it means to walk this path with integrity.
We set intentions and begin to attune as a circle.

A grounding meal to support the body as we enter sacred space.

Integration Time
An open window for rest, journaling, or quiet connection.
A pause to settle, soften, and listen before the deeper work begins.

A final ritual of purification and renewal.
Water carries away what no longer belongs and nourishes the flame that remains.

Together we arrive fully in the present.
Through breath and stillness, we prepare the inner soil for the flame to rise.

Sound Healing Journey
A vibrational immersion that invites emotional release and nervous system rest.
The sounds guide the body into openness, preparing for the sacred night ahead.

As the sun lowers, we begin fasting and shift inward.
An herbal cleansing bath, intention setting, and sacred silence open the ceremonial portal.
We tend the inner flame with reverence.

Sacred Plant Medicine Ceremony (Rezo)
Held in a safely guided space by Eduardo Leal.
This is the heart of the journey: a night of communion with the Spirit of the medicine, the ancestors, and the truth that lives within.
You are never alone in this fire.

Light Evening Snack (Post-Ceremony)
A gentle return to the body.
Warm tea, fruit, or broth offered in quiet presence.

✦ SUNDAY

Kundalini Vinyasa fusion where breath becomes the bridge and movement stokes the ancestral flame within.
Burn the old scripts, awaken the wisdom that lives within, and rise: reborn, sovereign, sacred fire.

Ancient Suddha Raja Yoga Practice
A morning awakening through movement and breath.
This yogic practice reconnects body, mind, and spirit after the depth of the night.

Closing Circle & Rapé Ceremony
We gather once more in gratitude, reflection, and integration.
Through words, silence, and sacred tobacco medicine, we honour the journey, the teachings, and each other.

Shared Lunch
A final communal meal, warm and grounding.
A moment to connect, celebrate, and nourish the body before departure.

Farewell & Departure · 03:30 PM
The circle closes, but the flame continues.
You leave with more than insight. You leave with your own fire, tended and alive.
