$29 More Info

Let's access the energy of the full moon to set your intentions for the upcoming Winter Solstice! December's full moon, named the Cold Moon, marks the final full moon of the year and symbolizes winter's arrival and a time for reflection. You will experience a guided meditation to reflect on this past Fall, followed by a cacao ceremony to honor the equality of dark and light of the equinox and the energetic hibernation of winter. Cacao is 100% ground cacao beans (chocolate in its purest form) which helps to open up the heart chakra and elevate the manifestation of intentions that are put forth. Please bring a yoga mat and/or blanket or meditation pillow, water bottle, journal and pen. Chairs will be available for those who are most comfortable not being on the floor. Elissa Nauman facilitates guided meditations and women's circles throughout the Portland area and is an energy healer using the modalities of Reiki and Integrated Energy Therapy (IET). She is certified in essential oils coaching, Usui Reiki, Integrated Energy Therapy, Reiki Crystal Healing, and Chakra Therapy.
