An Autumnal Celebration
*
Experience a native ritual of creating a sacred space for an intentional gathering. Rituals create self awareness and honor the self and the relationship to the environment and other people. It aligns the energy of each person to intentionally disconnect from the busyness of the mind and daily habits and tasks, clears mental and energetic clutter, aligns a person with their inner energy and gives space to bring forward the essence of their nature.
ONA VEDA’s Center Me centering practices offers three guided meditational exercises to consciously explore the breath, the physical core body and the energy body with step by step guidance. These experiences offer the fundamental starting points of centering with correct breathing and core engagement mechanics as well as establishing a baseline of how to tune into the energy body.
Gita Vanse will lead us in a group transformational breath work practice that clears and activates the energy centers in the body and gives an opportunity to receive insight from your higher self. Gita brings us this meditation from her studies in Bali, Indonesia.
Cacao ceremonies are known to promote communal feelings of completeness, increased vitality, compassion and intuition. In shamanism cacao is regarded for its grounding and heart opening properties. It is regarded as a spiritual journey to connect to your best self and to face your truth.
