Seeds of Intention | Earth And Spirit Collective | New Years Gathering

Seeds of Intention was created to thank the earth and everything it does for us. When we take for granted the labour of the elements then we loose connection to what is keeping this planet alive and in harmony. For example without rain there would be no plants for us to grow and harvest. Everything is connected and we believe that planting seeds of intention at the start of 2024 can create the energy for beautiful experiences on a individual and collective level.

This 5 day gathering is family friendly as we want to create a supportive space for our community to play, plant ideas, learn, receive and integrate transformation if needed. When like minded souls gather the magic that can be created is tangible and the friendships are lasting. Think sharing grass root change and creating a world you want to see.

SWEAT LODGE

About the facilitator, Raisa is an educator, therapist and practitioner of the sacred feminine. A medicine woman born in Venezuela and a spiritual practitioner mainly of Mexican and North American traditions for several years. Raisa shares her awareness of the gifts of Great Mother, bringing practices and experiences from ancient traditions from North, Central and South America. Bearer of the Pipe of the DANCE OF THE MOON OLLINTLAHUIMEZLI of the lineage of GRANDMOTHER MALINALI and 15 years of Moon Dancer. Raisa has participated in Moon Dances in several countries such as Mexico, Colombia, California and Brazil. She leads Sweatlodge ceremonies (Temazcal) from the same tradition.

The sweat lodge or Inipi (lakota name) is an ancient Native American traditional ceremony that allows us to recreate our impressions and projections about the world, consciously modifying our original codes. It is performed in a circular dome with a hole in the center that is the womb of our Mother Earth.

We raise a fire which represents the sun and its creative power, where stones are heated and brought into the lodge waiting for them sitting in a circle in silence. Then we close the door and start the prayers and songs evoking the 4 great powers of the universe, the Father Sky and Mother Earth during the 4 door movements.

An experience intimately connected through the darkness and warmth of the stones, the prayers, intentions, chants and silence.

Entering this belly is a powerful experience for the treatment of many diseases, stimulates internal organs and clean our be releasing toxins, stress, and accumulated energy for different reasons. If you would like to join you will need to a purchase a seperate ticket.
