Upcoming Archetype:

THE WISE WOMAN/ CRONE

Date: October 15 Time: 6:30pm - 9.30pm Location: GOSPEL NYC

*Tickets include fresh fruit and snacks.

The Journey: Come prepared to dream and connect! Bring a meaningful object to charge on our communal altar, as well as a journal for reflective exercises. Dress comfortably in attire that allows for freedom of movement, and if possible, bring a yoga mat.

Circle Activation: We'll open the new moon circle with the intention of embarking on a profound inward journey, welcoming the sacred and listening to our soul's calling.

Archetype Exercise: Unapologetically express your authentic self, master presence, and delve into deep emotions. Through active storytelling and primal movement, we'll release our physical creative expression of the archetype. Discover your strengths and uniqueness, face challenges fearlessly, and trust your instincts and intuition.

Singing Meditation: Singing embodies self-compassion, inducing relaxation and alleviating tension by synchronizing body, speech, mind, and breath. As your voice resonates within, it affirms your presence, grounding you in the present moment.

Theatrical Play: Acting practices, beneficial for everyone, serve as a pathway to nurturing the creative mind and body. They facilitate the freedom to explore emotions deeply, encouraging bold leadership in one's life experience. These practices not only foster self-discovery but also promote a deeper connection to the world around us. Embrace the new, finding beauty in each moment, and forge honest connections within the collective.

Breathwork - Have you ever experienced the magic of Breathwork? Breathwork is not just another practice to find calm, amidst the chaos, it is a powerful tool for liberating the mind, releasing stuck energy and emotions, and igniting profound change within. Here, you'll embark on a guided journey led by our expert facilitator, Raquel Rivelo. She will guide you through a dynamic three-part breath sequence and a blissful passive resting phase where you'll discover a new dimension of clarity and rejuvenation.

Reflective Journaling- Reflective journaling is a process of self-exploration and personal growth through writing. Following the breathwork journey it is common to feel more intuitive and insightful, making it a beautiful time to put pen to paper! Here you will be guided through various journaling prompts/ exercises to promote deeper self-awareness and overall emotional resilience.

Eros Movement: Dynamic form of guided ecstatic dance, igniting a journey of self-discovery through uninhibited expression. Participants delve into their physicality and sensuality in a supportive environment, embracing fluid movements and rhythmic exploration. It’s a liberating practice that empowers people to connect with their inner desires, release inhibitions, and cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves, both physically and emotionally.
