Mexican Shamanic Reconnection Ceremony with Victoria Gagarina
✨ We are not separate from the Elements… we are made of them.
Water flows within us.
Fire lives in our spirit.
Air moves through our breath.
Earth holds and sustains us. (this part can be moved to the end)
When we return to these elements consciously, we restore our balance and gain clarity.
Join us for a 2-hour ceremonial journey rooted in Mexican ancestral traditions, where Victoria, a medicine woman of Aztec lineage will guide us through sacred rituals to cleanse negative energies, bless your path and awaken your natural connection with the nature and everyone around you.
Through the power of the four elements — water, fire, air and earth — you will be held in a space of purification and renewal.
We will gather in a ceremonial cacao circle, which in Mexico is considered a gift of Mother Earth and medicine for the heart, to open the heart and connect in community, followed by a guided Yoga Nidra integration by Myriam, allowing your body and soul to fully receive and embody the experience.
This is an invitation to reconnect to ancestral wisdom…
to remember who you truly are.
✨ Come as you are. Leave lighter, clearer, and aligned.
