Sunset Ceremony xx
The ceremony will take place at Hallowed Ground (114 Washington Blvd Suite B, Marina Del Rey, CA 90292). It's on Washington right next to the Venice Pier. There's either meter or street parking (I usually don't have a problem finding street parking, there's usually spaces on Strongs Dr, which is a side street near the studio). Once the ceremony ends, we'll walk down to the beach to catch the sunset, have some snacks and continue our integration!
The ceremony will start with an opening meditation and yin followed by a hapeh ceremony. Hapeh is a sacred plant medicine used by the amazonian tribes. Hapeh is a snuff made from tobacco mixed with other medicinal plants (leaves, seeds and other plants). The medicine opens the 3rd eye, purifies and cleanses, centers and grounds and clears negativity. In addition, it helps the sinus and respiratory tract and supports the digestive system. The hapeh ceremony will be accompanied by beautiful healing music supporting your journey.
After you receive hapeh, we'll drop into our breath through holotropic breathing. You'll be guided through a 45 minute holotropic breathwork followed by a visualization meditation. At the end of the meditation, you'll receive sananga. Sananga is a traditional plant medicine of the amazon forest, used for spiritual and physical ailments. Sananga clears out blocked energies and improves vision and sharpens senses, and will be administered via eye drops.
Partaking in hapeh and sananga are optional, however if you choose to partake in sananga please don't wear contacts.

Important things to note about holotropic breathwork!
Breathwork is an active meditation and a self-healing practice to help cleanse the body from stuck emotions. We'll use a 3 stage breath, along with other holotropic techniques for about 45 minutes followed by a deep meditation, including a guided meditation. The entire duration is about 75 minutes. The session will be done laying down. You'll be guided by me, healing instruments alongside a beautiful playlist, to help you on your journey. I offer essential oils during the experience and, if interested, Sananga eye drops during the visualization meditation.
Preparation:
Please bring a yoga mat, a blanket and a water bottle!!!
You may experience tingling sensations or cramping throughout the experience. It's very common and usually releases after 10-15 minutes.
Please try not to consume caffeine or food a few hours prior to the session!
Having an intention is encouraged!
See you guys soon!
