What does RITUAL mean to you? 🔮 For me, part of it includes setting Sacred space—doing so with reverence and INTENTIONALITY. 🔮 Having the opportunity to sit with others, learning practices, deepening knowledge, feeling and figuring out what resonates, as well as developing confidence and self-trust have all been part of my experience and growth with ritual. 🔮 It has been incredibly fulfilling to be stepping more and more into this work & practice—serving others as well as myself. 🔮 This is the beauty of practice and ritual—it’s personal, it’s sacred, and you’re fully welcome to keep it to yourself; there may also be a higher calling to share your light with others. 🔮 The moon ritual for example — what began as an inconsistent proclivity has become a regular offer in serving community. 🔮 Additionally, making the shift from routine to ritual, where what may have been automatic and thoughtless is able to become intentional and mindful. 🔮 This can bring one into presence, awareness and consciousness, allowing for deeper connection to the “more” / spirit / universe as well as to self. 🔮 This is the way of being in which I choose to exist. 🔮 @littlecopperlighthouse and I have created a potent Sacred space in our home for ritual and healing (as pictured). We are also holding the opening ceremony for @tmrw.tday ‘s Equinox Dreams event in March. 🔮 Are you curious about exploring what ritual means to you? I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

Perhaps 2022 has gotten off to a less than ideal start, but what if I told you that you have another opportunity to kick things off? This Aquarius New Moon is a potent one as we welcome the Lunar New Year (as well as the Pagan celebration of Imbolc), and I will be holding not one, but TWO rituals. The first option is the IN-PERSON event taking place on SUNDAY, January 30th at 7 PM ET in our healing space in the southwest area of Toronto. (Space is very limited!) This ritual includes cacao ceremony, breathwork, meditation, energy healing (Reiki & Tao Healing Hands), as well as journaling and sharing circle with snacks to assist with integration and connecting with community. @eventbrite Link in bio: New Moon Ritual: Lunar New Year (In-Person Event) The second is an ONLINE gathering commencing on MONDAY, January 31st at 8:30 PM ET on Zoom. This ritual includes breathwork, meditation, distance energy healing, as well as journaling and sharing to help with integration and connection. Link in bio: New Moon Ritual: Lunar New Year (Online Event) So, you get to choose your own adventure for this magical Lunar New Year! The energy of the New Moon is at its fullest on Tuesday (Feb 1st) at 12:50 AM (ET) and is present for 2-3 days on each side of the peak. As always, please reach out with any questions or whatnot. Welcome to the journey; trust it and thrive. Matty. (at Sunnyside, Toronto) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZKtPUOvaTc/?utm_medium=tumblr
