Ancestors live within us and our DNA. They have influenced us and informed us, even if we aren't conscious of their presence. When we honor them and honor how they lived on this Earth, they stop being able to live inside us. This frees us up to live the life of our own choosing. Plase join me in honoring our ancestors, both living and dead, by decorating sugar skulls. 

After the decorating, we will sit in ceremony together. Honoring the ancestors as a group. 

I'll supply the paint, and the skulls. I ask for a $10 donation for supplies. Please bring a favorite food of your ancestors to share with both them and for the group, or bring flowers, or other objects your ancestors would like.

Once we finish our skulls, we will have a little ceremony to Honor the Day of the Dead.. RSVP to Lorraine Stern via text 831-206-9291.

It is time that the Condor and the Eagle fly together. This statement comes from part of the Inca prophesy. It is this prophesy that is bringing Juan Apaza, Qero leader to the United States for the first time to teach the ancient and sacred teachings of the Incas. The Qero predicted in the early 70’s that there would come a day when the Condor, which represents Qero cosmology, would join with the Eagle, Western society, to join in helping Pachamama (Mother Earth) and humanity.

It’s time to return to our hearts, and connect deeply with our Mother Earth. The Qero are here to show us how.

I am excited to have my Spiritual family here to become a part of the community. This event is so all of you can make a connection with my dear friends too!

July19th at 6:30 Juan Apaza, Karina Davelos Concha and her sister Fanny will lead us in a haywirakuy ceremony, a ceremony that honors life and ayni ( sacred reciprocity). Festivities will continue with a fire ceremony to connect us to the light in our hearts.

This a community event. Please bring a healthy snack to share and a donation to the Paqo for their ceremonial work.They will have traditional weavings and Peruvian crafts available for you to purchase.The proceeds go towards supporting the Qero communities. Suggested donation $25-$40

The Wild Woman Circle is for women to come together in ritual, ceremony and dance to express the wild part of each of us that is connected to all things in nature including our own bodies..

Each of us has that native, embodied wisdom—a wild, untamed, undomesticated body-mind and heart that knows what is true for us. Each looks and feels different for each woman, and no two are ever alike.

Many of us yearn to be more full, more embodied, more connected to ourselves and to others.

Through exercises, movement, dance and connection you will discover how you want to express and experience a deepening of your relationship to yourself and those around you.

For this first gathering, we will meet for tea, movement, and heart work. Free event for women only.

Please join in a relaxing evening of sound bath healing.The sound of the singing bowls and tuning forks will bring you into a deep relaxed state and facilitate altered states of consciousness. Allowing one to access information within their body and subconscious. 

Simmy will be your guide. She has been playing her singing bowls for 9 years. Come for a relaxing evening of healing and rejuvenation.

Donation event. Suggested donation $30-40

Space is limited to 10 people. Reserve a spot by texting or calling Lorraine at 831-206-9291

Many of you have meet my current helper Simmy. What most don’t know is that she was a big part of London’s music scene as a DJ and assisted in running the YouTube Channel ‘Deeper Vibrations’ which mainly focused on promoting bass music. She has put together a pre-recorded set that will get us all moving and connecting with ourselves. Although this set is prerecorded, Simmy has put a lot of time and effort into taking us all on a journey through music to connect with our bodies in a new way. Please arrive no later that 6pm for the dancing.

Please feel free to bring food to share. There will be plenty of strawberries and cheese! This event is suitable for all ages. All donations will go directly to Simmy to help her further her interest in Permaculture and the Pachamama.

Sacred Play in Quechua is Puklley. Traditionally the Andeans of Peru gather representations of what they would like to manifest. For example, if they wanted a new car, then they would either make, or bring a miniature car to the sacred play. Then with the miniature figurines, you would begin to pretend, just like we did when we were kids. This kind of pretending in sacred space, does lead to manifestation, in a really fun way!

We are going to combine this sacred play with music. We’ll have an ecstatic dance and ceremony to bring this new energy we want into our bodies. In addition we will also have live music to enhance our creativity and mood.. Let’s all manifest together in a sacred way!

Donation event. Snacks will be served. This is a kid friendly event.

Lunar Eclipses help us to look at those aspects of our lives that are in shadow. This particular eclipse will help us look at those areas. To help move and shift the energy we will dance first. Dancing is one of my favorite ways to get into my body, and it’s so much fun!

Once we shift the energy we’ll come inside to have an ayni despacho. Ayni is sacred reciprocity, and we will bring that in by honoring all of the Pachamama ( Mother Earth)

Then once the sun goes down we will finish off the day with a full moon fire ceremony to bring an alchemical change to our days gathering.

This is a donation event. Suggested donations re $20-$40.

All are welcome. Feel free to invite a friend or two.Snacks will be provided.

Please bring layers of clothing and a rattle or drum for the fire.

The equinox is a time of light and dark being equals. It’s a time for balance of inner and outer. Where the divine feminine and divine masculine within us can also balance. These opposites, light and dark, inner and outer, masculine and feminine create what is known as a Yanantin in Quechuan. Yanantin is an energy that is represented by harmonizing opposites. You can also think of it as Ying/Yang. They exist together, one inside another in harmony.

The moon is our connection to the divine feminine and who we are on the inside. When the moon is full it sheds a light on what is in the dark, Coupled with an equinox that is about balance, leads to an auspicious time to gather together for ceremony. Bringing harmony to our world, inside and out.

When we bring the light of the fire into our bodies, it gives us the energy to carry us forward. It’s an energy that is needed at this time.

Please dress warm, bring a rattle or drum if you have one. All are welcome. This is a free event, please do bring food to share for later.

Love- We all need it. Especially in the last 2 years, as we have been more isolated from each other. Many of us haven’t spent much time in public or in groups. Humans are mammals, and we are wired for human connection.

Fear also takes us away from our hearts, and puts us in a place of not being able to connect

with others. This in turn affects our nervous systems and our whole bodies.

It’s time to come back down into our hearts and our bodies.

Please join me for a despacho ceremony with Karina Conchas Davalos to bring our hearts fully online in a loving way. The focus on this despacho will be to open up our hearts fully and invite love in. There will also be prayers added for rain. This will be over Zoom.
