[R]ECLIPSE

As we enter into the first eclipse season of the year, we bear witness to the rare occurrence of a second new moon in Aries! This powerful alignment offers a unique opportunity to tap into the fiery energy of Aries and set powerful intentions for the months ahead. Because we will be experiencing the eclipse, this is also an opportunity to connect with the subconscious mind and shed light on the things that need to be healed or released. 

As we sit with the sacred plant allies, hapé and sananga, we will connect with the deeper aspects of ourselves and gain clarity on what part of our lives are ready to be transformed. These allies will also help us to deepen our connection with the natural world and facilitate the release of old patterns and energies. The Holy Fire Reiki® sound healing experience will help to clear any blockages and balance our energy centers, allowing us to fully integrate the transformational energy of the ceremony.

Let's come together and create a space of healing and growth as we journey into the depths of our subconscious minds during this rare opportunity to harness the powerful energy of the new moon solar eclipse. There will also be a special herbal tea blend for us to sip on throughout the evening.  

What is Hapé?

Hapé is a sacred tobacco snuff  that is curated with medicinal plants, leaves, trees and seeds from native lands in a labor intensive, ceremonial way by the indigenous tribes of the Amazon. The tobacco harvested is not grown for comercial use or genetically motified, thus it does not conatin high amounts of nicotine. The Native People greatly revere Tobacco as a Grandfather medicine, full of ancient wisdom and the abiltiy to carry prayers to the creator. Hapé is a powerful plant ally that is often used for purification, protection and deep connection to the spirits, animals, and Mother Earth. An experience of sitting with hape can offer powerful healing for the body, mind, and soul.

What is Sananga?

Sananga is a traditional Amazonian plant medicine that is usually taken in the form of eye drops. It is derived from the roots of either the Tabernaemontana undulata plant (milkwood) or the Tabernaemontana sananho plant (dogbane). Sananga is primarily used to treat a number of eye diseases and to improve vision, but is also used to gain deeper insight, enhace intuition, and to cleanse the mind and body.
