SUMMARY:JOURNEY INTO THE POWER OF YOUR BREATH ~ IN PERSON SESSION!
DESCRIPTION:Breathing is the only system in the body that is both automatic and under our control. Breathwork is the action of breathing with “intention” and “attention” to what arises in the process\, that can be released.

SUMMARY:SCORPIO FULL MOON SHAMANIC CIRCLE IN AUBURN!
DESCRIPTION:Join Mariscela\, Theodore\, and the Buffalo Mother Drum to create a “sacred bridge” to the Spirit realm\nwith the guidance of Shamanic journey and drumming! \nIn the quest to deepen our levels of self-discovery and to understand our relationship with creation\, we travel to non-ordinary reality through the ancestral practice of Shamanic journeying and drumming! \nWe embark on a Shamanic Journey to ever-deepen the levels of self-understanding that can be attained by going inward to access the self at a soul level. A Shamanic Journey leads us into an altered state of self-awareness during non-ordinary reality\, providing access to a higher wisdom of spiritual guidance and healing. \nA Drumming Circle is an opportunity to form a group consciousness sharing the rhythm of the sacred beat of the drum while resonating with each other and the earth as a whole\, where we flow in the energy of healing and love. A Drumming Circle is based on equality and union as there is no head or tail and includes all people becoming one. \nThe light of a Full Moon exposes and illuminates current issues that have not yet been dealt with. The Full Moon is therefore a time of culmination of what is still pending to be addressed and/or healed. \nJoin Mariscela and Theodore to create a powerful circle with the guidance of Shamanic Journey and Drumming. Our circle will be guided by the Full Moon in Scorpio\, which brings intense emotions and transformational opportunities. During Shamanic Journey we’ll explore deep\, intimate emotions that have been building up for a while\, and now is the time when the energy of this lunation can guide us to let them out and resolve them. \nFRIDAY\, MAY 9th ~ 7 to 9 pm \nEnergy Exchange: $25 ~ Please RSVP to Mariscela: 530-863-0003\, ma@fyspirit.com\nPay $25 through Zelle: ma@fyspirit.com\nPay $26 through Venmo & PayPal ~ Be sure it is sent to Free Your Spirit\, which is my “business” account.\nVenmo: Pay with Venmo   –  PayPal: Pay with PayPal \nIMPORTANT! \n\nThis is an indoor circle for women and\, men.\nWe ask you to arrive at 6:45 pm to get settled and start on time.\nThe front door will be locked at 7:10 pm. If you arrive after\, please enter through the back door in the back of the building (by the parking lot.)\nBring your drums & rattles or any sound maker.  We have a few extra drums and rattles to share.\nBring your own blanket or use the ones available at the studio to lay down on the wood floor during the journey.\nBring any sacred item(s) you’d like to place on the altar.\nWater to drink in a closed container.\nInvite and bring your friends!

SUMMARY:VESAK DAY CELEBRATION WITH LABYRINTH WALK & CACAO CEREMONY!
DESCRIPTION:The Day of Vesak commemorates Buddha’s birth\, enlightenment\, and death. This annual celebration occurs on the day of the Full Moon iis year is on May 12th during the lunation in Scorpio. \nOn this day\, we celebrate the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama\, known as Buddha (enlightened one) who spread compassion\, peace and goodwill to all life. His teachings are acknowledged worldwide for over 2\,500 years through the practice of Buddhism. \nA Labyrinth is a pattern of pathways that weave in a circle to arrive to its center. A labyrinth walking meditation consist of entering a labyrinth\, following its path to the center and exiting the way we came. This quiet walk or moving meditation helps us to integrate body\, mind\, and spirit. The labyrinth represents our life’s path\, walked in a state of self-reflection and awareness. During this meditative walk we take a self-discovery journey of the values that guide our lives. \nCeremonial Cacao has been used for centuries in many cultures as a healing ally to let go of heavy emotions locked in the body\, while activating the sacred heart center. \nOur time together will be dedicated to stepping into the threshold of ritual\, magic and transformation by receiving the gift of Ceremonial Cacao as a “heart opener” from where we can become the container of Love. With an open heart\, we’ll silently walk on the sacred labyrinth while being fully engaged on a journey of self-reflection\, illuminated by the light of the Scorpio Full Moon. With divine guidance we can embody the attributes of right mindfulness\, love and compassion as shared by the sacred Buddha! \nMONDAY\, MAY 12th ~ 6:30 to 8:30 pm \nArmed Forces & Pavilion Community Garden: 995 Lincoln Way\, Auburn \nEnergy Exchange: $25 ~ Please RSVP to Mariscela: 530-863-0003\, ma@fyspirit.com\nPay $25 through Zelle: ma@fyspirit.com\nPay $26 through Venmo & PayPal ~ Be sure it is sent to Free Your Spirit\, which is my “business” account.\nVenmo: Pay with Venmo   –  PayPal: Pay with PayPal \n\nIMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT CEREMONIAL CACAO: \n\nThe cacao we honor is 100% Peruvian cacao\, ceremonial grade\, organic and\, vegan.\nA cacao ceremony is a type of Shamanic Healing\, but it doesn’t produce “hallucinogenic” or out of body effects.\nCacao is not sustainable for anyone with chocolate\, nut\, chili or spice allergies.\nCacao is not recommended for anyone with heart conditions or high blood pressure\, as cacao increases blood flo9w to the brain and the heart.\nDo not take cacao if you take high doses or SSRI/anti-depressant medications and/or suffer from severe mental illness. If you’re sensitive to caffeine or if pregnant (especially 1st trimester.)\nIf any of the above applies to you\, a “rose tea” option can be available so you can still highly benefit from the energy of the circle and other activities. Please send your request!\n\n...AND MORE: \n\nThis is an outdoor circle for women\, men and children 10 and up.\nWe ask you to arrive at 6:15 pm to get settled and start on time.\nBring a chair and any sacred item(s) you’d like to place on the altar.\nBring water to drink in a closed container.\nWe suggest nourishing yourself after the circle\, by enjoying a relaxed rest of your day.\nDo not eat a big meal prior to the ceremony.
