Full Moon Ceremony

*Note: We lock the doors & start at 7pm sharp

Full Moons are a time for cleansing & releasing the past, making room for all the goodness the future brings.

To tap into this frequency, this full moon circle will include the following:

~Conversation on Emotional Release

~Grounding & Intention setting

~Pranayama (Yogic breathwork): to open pathways & prepare for meditation

~Sananga (Amazonian eye drops): cleanses physical & energetic impurities

~Hapé (Amazonian herbal snuff): used as a tool to help drop into meditation

About Sananga Plant Medicine:

Sananga, or Bechette, is a traditional Amazonian eye medicine. It’s been used by the indigenous peoples of Peru and Brazil for thousands of years. On an energetic level, it's known to help with fear, anger, depression, and psychosomatic conditions. On a physical level, it cleanses and refreshes the eyes and has been indicated in the treatment of glaucoma, cataracts, astigmatism, conjunctivitis, dry and red eyes, photophobia, keratoconus, eye infections, sinusitis, and chronic headaches. It can also be a great ally in the treatment of chronic pain.

When Sananga is applied to the eye, it can sting/burn for anywhere from 1-2min to 5-20min, depending on the strength of the drops and the person receiving.

Afterwards most people feel the eyes are cleansed and refreshed, along with feelings of calm, peace, and grounding.

Contraindications include if you're currently wearing contacts (they can be removed), or if you received lasik eye surgery within the past 6-8 weeks.

About Hapé Plant Medicine:

Hapé medicine is a sacred plant medicine that is a mix of mapacho tobacco and other plants/herbs/flowers/barks, and has been utilized by tribes of the Amazon for millennia. It has a very grounding quality, and an ability to connect you to your spirit/higher self, and connects to PachaMama (Mother Earth), & to God/Creator/Great Spirit.
It is a non-psychoactive plant medicine that purifies & cleanses the mind, sinuses, & membranes of the head, 3rd eye, while also releasing Panema (dark energy). It also has the ability to silence the mind & ego (excellent for racing thoughts), bringing you into a celestial stillness & silence. This drops the mind into a grounding meditation while opening up the Heart, 3rd eye, and Crown Chakras, and also helps to facilitate the release of old, repressed emotions that your body is ready to release.
This entire process can bring compassion & love to your heart as well as bring strength, clarity, peace, & purification to the mind, & deep connection & protection to the spirit.
The structure of the agenda is strategically put together to prepare the body and mind for the meditation, giving you the opportunity to cultivate a loving relationship with the hapé.

How to Prepare:

• Avoid eating at least 1 hour prior to event (the tobacco present in the hapé can often give feelings of nausea. This is lessened on a empty stomach)
• Come with an intention or prayer for the hapé meditation, & something you feel ready to release with this Full Moon
• If planning on participating in the Sananga eye drops, please avoid wearing contact lenses
• If you like, feel free to bring a personal item to add the to community altar
