New Moon Soundbath, Community-Building & Prosperity
June 28, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm PDT
$10.00 – $15.00Celebrate the New Moon with Magical Moon Rites & a Rejuvenating Soundbath Ceremony. If you would like to come in-person, please RSVP via email (see below) as space is limited.
For this New Moon Rite, we partake in a New Moon ceremony to ensure community-building, and prosperity and growth from this.
Along with celebrating the New Moon, we celebrate Uei Tecuilhuitl (6/22-7/11, Feast for the Greatly Revered Ones). For this month, the central Mexican indigenous peoples observed a feast to Xilonen (goddess of the tender maize). All men and women were fed and gave comfort to those in need. Community-building and community prosperity were integral to their rites this month. Our New Moon Ceremony will integrate these principles.
We start with shamanic breathwork and trance journeys to explore our intentions, and work with the New Moon. Once we cleansed and revitalized ourselves with shamanic breathwork, explored the sacred meanings of the new moon and new moon rites, everyone will lie down and receive the healing vibrations from a sound bath. The sound bath will include crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, gongs and medicine songs providing a lush soundscape for deep meditative journeying and melodies to open the heart.
In this ceremony, you will:
• Connect and Manifest with the Magic of the New Moon
• Learn a traditional Mesoamerican New Moon Rite
• Receive vibrational healing through sound baths and icaros (medicine songs)
• Engage in shamanic breathwork that focus on an area of the body & the benefits of working on this area of the body
• Explore Ancient Mesoamerican Indigenous magic, wisdom, traditions, and rites concerning the New Moon
What’s needed:
• Something to lie down on: yoga mat or small blanket
