Earth-Anchoring and Grounding

Learn how to anchor yourself to the Earth’s rhythms to reduce anxiety and feel grounded and connected.

This forest event is dedicated to honoring the Earth and all that she represents. We’ll begin by grounding and connecting with the heartbeat of the Earth, a powerful technique to bring you out of your thoughts and back into your body. We’ll also use drumming and brushing techniques to calm and reconnect with the element of Earth.

Then we’ll join together in a simple sacred ceremony of gratitude and honoring. Following the principles of an Andean despacho ceremony, we will create a mandala with offerings from nature that represent our prayers of gratitude for the Earth. This ceremony helps to bring us into Ayni (sacred reciprocity) with the Earth.

Please bring a jacket, a water bottle and a blanket if you would like, to sit/lay directly on the ground in the forest. You are welcome to bring flowers, seeds, berries or any other items from nature to offer to the Earth. All offerings will remain in the forest.
