EMBRACING SELFLOVE: ALTAR & RITUALS


Come together to deepen your connection to yourself, learn the art of weaving an altar, and integrate this sacred practice into your daily rhythms.

We will come together in the embrace of our earth mother. We will sit in council with Madre Cacao, an opportunity to share the whispers of your heart and what thoughts/emotions/memories orbit around self love. I will then guide us through a cleansing ritual that will be supported by the heart of a waterfall and rose. We will then weave an altar for self-love under ancient trees and write a love letter to ourselves.

This is an invitation to renew your self-love, uplifting your spirit to continue nurturing your dreams and following your heart’s path, fostering resilience and inner peace.

This workshop includes tangibles gifts for your altar:

Rose
Gold arch mirror
Egyptian Rose oil
Guidebook with in-depth information on
Self Love, Altars and Ritual with Rose.

There is a limited supply of mirrors — so only 8 hearts may join us for this gathering.


What you will need to gather:

— bring a basket with altar companions that uplift you and inspire self love.

additional companions : nurturing tools : face oil, mist, brush etc.

— bring a bottle of water.

— a journal and pen for note taking & love letter to self.

— bring a towel if you feel the pull to be fully cleansed by the heart of the waterfall.

— sheep-hide or blanket to hold you.

— you will receive a rose, but if you desire to to weave more beauty on your altar, gift yourself a mini bouquet to weave upon your altar.

— bring layers to remain in harmony with the weather & anything else you may need to be comfortable. The path to the waterfall is easy and very short. Sandals or comfortable supportive hiking boots will do.



A love note:

Since we will be surrounded by the beauty of our Earth Mother, I wanted to extend an invitation to bring fruits/cheeses/crackers, etc to have a community picnic. In previous nature gatherings, it has spontaneously aligned for us to close our time together in this way. It has been such a beautiful way to connect deeper and return to our physical bodies after so much energetic & spiritual magic.

Hermanas de Barro: Clay & Cacao

|| New Moon in Taurus — May 8th, 2024 at 3:00p.m || Altadena, Ca ||


Join us for a heartfelt gathering with a special guest~dearest sister, who is journeying from her ancestral lands, Ecuador. When she gifted me the news of her arrival, my heart bloomed with visions of a community gathering.

We will gather in the embrace of an ancient oak tree, where we will sit heart-to-heart in the embrace of Madrecita Cacao, lovingly supported by our Andean sister, Micaela Castro.

As you lay in the embrace of our Earth Mother, ancestors and guides, I will lead us on a journey through the gates of your heart, where you will unearth what shape, animal, guide wants to take form through your hands and clay.

With hearts anchored and spirits aligned, we'll let our hands become vessels of love, shaping clay with intention and creativity. Through this sacred act of creation, we'll deepen our connection to ourselves, each other, and the earth, weaving a tapestry of unity and reverence.

Join us as we co-create a space of love, reverence, and joy, where each moment is a prayer and each interaction a blessing. Let's journey together, weaving a tapestry of connection and belonging that transcends time and space. All are welcome to this gathering of hearts, where love and the spirit of community blossoms.

Loving Exchange: sliding scale — $44-$77 — venmo @ritmossagrados

We will be gathering in the embrace of earth mother — we encourage you bring the following:

comfortable hiking shoes — layers — water bottle — mat/blanket/hide to lay & sit on.

Bring layers just incase you are cold or warm. Wear threads that make you feel the most comfortable.

Gift yourself 10-15 minutes to land — gracefully find parking — meet at our pinned location. We will begin our walk on time at 3:00p.m. Don’t be late — we must honor everyones time.

— the walk to our location is very short — graceful — personally feel in my heart that this trail is accessible too all ages/bodies — there is a river crossing, either wear shoes that can get wet or sandals to walk through the river, otherwise you can also go over river stones to stay dry. We will both assist everyone along the walk if support is needed — the entire path is blooming with wild flowers!

Coming together heart-to-heart in community on a very special day,

The New Moon in Aries and the portal of the Spring Equinox.


Spring is a time of new beginnings within yourself, your hearts path, and your relations. This time also marks the beginning of a new year in the astrological calendar.

This is an invitation to begin the new cycle in community and in ceremony. We will gently shed the stagnation of Winter together. Sitting in council with Ixcacao, inviting us to drop into our heart space.

Everyone will receive a limpia / cleanse before you are bathed in high vibrational healing sounds. You will be guided on a journey through the radiant portal of Spring with the loving support of flower essences. As you gently emerge from this mystical transformative space ~ we will honor the sacred silence and allow ourselves to write our intentions for the next cycle. We will then share it through our voices and offer it to our hearth fire. This allows everyone to listen and witness you, when we do this it waters our dreams allowing them to be woven into the physcial.

Winter blesses us with rest and reflection. Winter is a time to gather our dreams seeds, allowing them to be held in the womb of Earth Mother. So as we gently transition from Winter to Spring, we are gifted the opportunity to plant our dreams seeds, tending to them through the season until they full bloom into reality.

Sweet Blessings Dear Ones,

Hearing the whispers of our loving community, I am grateful to announce our first lunar rhythms ceremony of this year !

I am so grateful for the previous ceremonies held at The Moon Sanctuary, nestled in Atwater Village.

This is an opportunity to come together in community, connect heart to heart, receive the blessings of madrecita cacao and bath our mind, body and spirit in healing vibrations as well as our Grandmother Moon blessings ~ clearing away what no longer serves us ~ opening our hearts to receive the blessing available to us.

After we harmonize our sacred rhythms we will light the altar of our hearts together in circle, gifting ourselves a moment to write our intentions for the next moon cycle, we will then weave a magical potion that we can either bathe/drink ourselves the following day after it has been infused by the new moon and our intentions.

I look forward to sitting in circle with you!

with love and gratitude, Esmeralda.


I encourage you to find a local spring and fill a 24 oz jar with this sacred water for our ritual portion of our ceremony.
