The Day of the Dead
The journey begins with building safety in a group circle, passing the talking stick. We prepare a sacred altar to honor ancestors. We listen to an artistic singer work her magic fingers upon a guitar and weave her meditative words around our hearts and minds. The experience deepens, learning to place attention with a Toltec Wisdom Keeper. Guided by two esteemed Shamanic Breathwork Facilitators, we cross over into other realms.
In the midst of gathered energy with distractions eliminated, one is able to fall deeper inside of the self, to discover the expansiveness of our existence. The Day of the Dead weakens the veils separating us from the magic of life, death, and rebirth.
In the darkness, we walk to the fire, chanting with the beat of the drums. The fire master encourages us to release fears into the red hot fire. As we walk our naked feet across the bed of coals, there is death of the old and birth of the new. The crystal dark night, and the sparkling stars reflect empowerment, as the coyotes call out from the distant darkness.
