Healing Talk and Liquid Tobacco Ceremony - April 20th (4 hours)
A healing talk focused on traditional wisdom & ceremonies of the Americas, plant medicines, sacred altars, ancestral lineage, the origins of dis-ease in our physical, mental & spiritual bodies and how to transform and transmute toxic thoughts & energies. We will also share personal healing practices you can incorporate directly into your daily life.
Following the talk, you will be given the opportunity to participate in a traditional South American liquid tobacco ceremony called "Singada", where we will work with "Mapacho" (Nicotiana Rustica), to help heal, cleanse & release old blockages, unhealthy patterns, memories and traumas.
Tobacco is one of the most powerful native plant medicines, which is also why it is one of the most abused on the planet, and should only be used with deep respect and healing intention. This sacred plant medicine spirit offers clarity, balance & grounding, as it helps to realign your body, mind & spirit.
You can decide whether or not to participate in this optional ceremony once you have heard the talk and the instructions. This is your opportunity to work with tobacco in a sacred manner.
Water Blessing Ceremony - April 21st (90 minutes)
“Gratitude for this opportunity to sit behind world waters and pray with them for the healing of our waters, humanity, all species and this planet”
Praying with the sacred waters is an honor that Erika is blessed to have learned from her elders on her 30 year walk on an Indigenous medicine path. She has been collecting waters from around the world from all 7 continents, sacred sites, rivers, lakes, waterfalls & oceans, even from the arctic & Antarctica… All of this water will infuse this beautiful and powerful ceremony, where she will share the wisdom of ceremonies where the energy of water is a main focus: whether fasting from it, or receiving in a sacred ceremony… She will pray over the sacred world waters and then bless all participants. We hope you can join us on Earth Day to honor this element together.
