A small private in-person workshop hosted on the evening of the Full Worm Moon!
The end of March is when the earth’s ground begins to thaw and the earthworms start to appear indicating a return to nature above ground. We have all been deeply underground literally and figuratively going within, as we navigate through uncertain times. The Full Worm Moon occurs soon after the Spring Equinox 2021 and it invites us to melt away or “let go” of any lingering energies that may keep us from blooming into our full authentic power, as we move into the warmer months ahead.
True healing or “letting go” cannot always be intellectualized, as you are not just a mind. You are a holistic multidimensional living system and our evolutionary process requires acknowledgement of all that we are; body, mind and soul. The practice of Yin Yoga will give your body an opportunity to feel safe and deeply unravel, while melting away tension and stored emotions. Persistent emotions of anger, sadness, fear, or resentment (to name a few) are indications that the vibrational frequency of “forgiveness” has not fully entered every layer of your being. Experiencing repetitive woundings or patterns in interpersonal relationships are also indications that deeper healing is needed.
Forgiveness (especially self-forgiveness) is something that many of us do not think about deliberately, even though we may be struggling with it on a daily basis on an unconscious level. The nature of a Shamanic journey is to tap into different realms of consciousness, including the unconscious. After a 75 minute Yin Yoga session, you will have an opportunity to take a Shamanic journey to meet a Spirit Animal guide. Your guide will then support you in a ceremonial cord cutting process to sever energetic ties - - harmful energy which either knowingly or unknowingly attached itself to you. Oftentimes, we carry invisible cords or hooks that propagate emotional baggage. When these cords are cut, we can live more freely.
The shamanic journey will include rhythmic drumming, rattling, and verbal guidance. The instruments will assist to bring your brain frequency into a lower alpha state (similar to when you catch yourself daydreaming) -- here you will be asked to let go OF your rational mind and attune to your natural imagination and intuition. We will close with a ceremonial cup of cacao to warm our hearts and integrate the workshop. Cacao is a bitter raw chocolate and has an ancient history as sacred plant medicine. It will be prepared, enjoyed and consumed with great appreciation.
This 3.5 hour workshop is an opportunity to deeply release and heal within the support of the community and several sacred modalities: yin yoga, SHAMANIC healing, partner activities, and a cacao ceremony. It is limited to 6 participants maximum and will be held in my personal home condo in Arlington, VA. The specific address will be provided upon enrollment with preparational instructions, to include a required liability waiver form to sign and guidelines to support the health and safety of all those in attendance.
