Step into a sacred sanctuary of nature, intention, and heart-opening beauty this Mother’s Day as we gather for a soul-nourishing Full Moon Release Ceremony in the tranquil Herb Garden of Well-Being. Surrounded by fragrant blossoms, lush greenery, and the gentle embrace of the Earth, this ceremonial morning is an invitation to honor the nurturing essence within all of us—whether you are a mother, wish to celebrate one, or feel called to reconnect to the sacred feminine energy of creation, love, and release. Together, under the powerful light of the Full Moon, we will sip sacred cacao, soften into deep rest through sound, and release the weight of what no longer serves.

Upon arrival, participants will be welcomed with a cleansing smudge blessing, gently guiding you into presence. We’ll open our ceremony with a cup of warm, ceremonial-grade cacao—crafted to awaken your heart, stir your spirit, and ground your body. With the moon as our guide, you’ll be led through a Flower Release Ritual, offering your intentions and letting go with grace and clarity. Then, lie back and surrender into the sacred sounds of crystal singing bowls, gongs, and vibrational instruments, carried by a guided Yoga Nidra meditation designed to open your heart and calm your mind. We’ll close with a heartfelt sharing circle, where stories, insights, and love may be expressed freely. A beautiful way to celebrate Mother’s Day—with yourself, your loved ones, or in sacred sisterhood with kindred souls.
Note: Please no alcohol on the day of the ceremony and caffeine three hours before and after the event.
