Limpia Masterclass

  • Verde Holistic Wellness Studio (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Spiritual hygiene is a crucial part of protecting, cleansing, and preserving our energy. In this three day series, we will explore traditional methods of energy cleansing, or Limpias, rooted in indigenous science.

Traditional among indigenous people of Mexico and Central America, Limpias are cleansing ceremonies designed to support our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. When we create ceremony for ourselves and for one another, we bolster our spiritual wellness and release stagnant energies from past experience. Creating sacred space to honor our spiritual growth and wellbeing is a crucial part of living a vibrant life in alignment with our energetic body.

Cleansing is a sacred ritual that involves using specific tools, incantations, or intentions to release old energetic debris from our aura, move through blockages in our energy body, and create space to call in new vibrations.

There are many different ways to perform limpias - from using medicinal plants, water, smoke, prayers, or even using an egg to cleanse the body. In this three day series, we will explore several tools and rituals to cleanse your body and home.

Love is a Vibration: Spring Chakra Yoga and Meditation

Unwind and embrace deep love with our Heart Chakra Yoga Flow!

Have you ever felt a bit off-center, like your heart isn't quite open to receiving love or joy? In yoga, we believe energy flows through our bodies in different centers called chakras. The heart chakra, or Anahata, is associated with love, compassion, and connection. Chakra healing practices aim to gently balance the flow of energy in these centers, promoting a sense of well-being and inner peace.

This gentle class welcomes everyone to explore their inner landscape and experience a deeper sense of well-being. We'll focus on gentle movements, postures, and breathwork to promote a healthy flow of energy within your heart chakra. Through mindful breathing, a guided meditation, and gentle energy healing techniques, you'll find a sense of peace, connection, and emotional balance.

Listen to your body and choose what feels best for you in each pose. Leave feeling loved and supported. Bring a yoga mat and wear comfortable clothes you can move in.

Self Care Sunday - I Am the Oracle

We are excited to share our new Self Care Sunday series - an invitation to join us in the spirit of community to explore how self care can pave the way for collective healing. 

Our intuition is a precious channel that serves as a bridge from our conscious mind to our spirit.

Our higher self, ancestors, and spirit guides are always with us, and intuition is simply a way to communicate and cultivate a unique personal relationship with our spiritual support team. Our intuition helps us to remember that the answers to the big questions in life can be found from within. 

The Winter is an especially powerful season to go within and find our inner understanding of ourselves and our soul purpose. Winter is the season of the Water element, and it is in the medicine of the Water that we root into our ability to flow and be at ease with the wisdom to be found in darkness.

Oracle cards are a tool for divination and self reflection. They offer us insight into the energies at large, and can be a beautiful way to find guidance or clarity when we are in need of support.

In this workshop led by our founder Crystal Dorado, we will design and create our own set of 5 oracle cards with the guidance of our intuition. We will be using simple collage techniques to create the cards with messages from our higher self. This workshop will include teachings on how to connect with your intuition, as well as guidance on how to use your own oracle deck. 

Bring supplies like magazines, newspapers, construction paper, glitter, stickers, etc to share and join us! 

Card stock, glue, pens, and paper will be provided.

During this fun and engaging session, Crystal will guide us into the Akashic Records to explore major themes, energies, and lessons that will be highlighted on a collective and individual level over the next calendar year. 

The Akashic Records is a place of infinite love and wisdom – many consider it to be an energetic log or record of all universal events, thoughts, words, actions throughout time. When we connect to the Akashic Records, we are invited to access a Sacred Space that is deeply personal and intimate. 

Our collective energy reading will include time to address personal energies so we invite you to join us with any questions you would like Crystal to answer.

Please note that this session will take place on Zoom at 6PM Central Time.

Heart Awakening: Cacao Ceremony

The Spirit of Cacao is the keeper of the ancient, sacred wisdom of the Soul.

 

Cacao holds the vibration of unconditional love, kindness, and joy, bringing deep healing to the Heart space.

When we connect to the energy of the heart, we are able to access the intelligence and sacred medicine of our soul purpose.

Cacao has been used in ceremony since ancient times, originating in Mesoamerica thousands of years ago. For the ancient Maya, cacao was not only used ceremonially, but in everyday life for its medicinal properties. 

Join us for this opportunity to gather in sacred ceremony, to open the Heart space and receive the loving embrace of the Spirit of Cacao.

 

Please note that we require a minimum of four participants for our classes. Class may be cancelled due to low enrollment. You will be notified prior to the start time if this is the case.

El Santuario de la Luz - Third Eye Cleansing II

We are all born with psychic abilities - and our intuition is designed to be our inner compass, guiding us to receive information from the spirit realm. Each and every one of us has innate psychic abilities - it is a matter of shedding our conditioning that draws us away from our inner worlds, and remembering that we contain all the wisdom we need within us. 

As we transition into the womb of winter and the nights grow longer and darker, the natural world invites us to connect with the subconscious and the spirit realm. In honor of the seasonal energetics, we will explore the Third Eye Space and mystical wisdom of the Yin in three sessions. 

Journey with us through the portal of the Third Eye Chakra, where our intuition, our psychic awareness, and dreams lead us to sacred wisdom.


El Santuario de la Luz is our virtual membership featuring group mentorship and teachings with our founder, Crystal. This space is an invitation to explore the medicine within - connecting us to our inner teacher and spiritual guides. Together we dive into ancestral wisdom for our modern consciousness. Become a member today and enjoy our monthly circles for $33 a month.

If you are interested in this workshop but unable to join the monthly membership, register on our class schedule as a drop in for $40 with the button below.
