EMBODY CEREMONY
Pop-Up Community Platica & Limpia Ceremony
In a traditional Platica & Limpia ceremony we work on clearing and cleansing the energy portals Cueycueyos (like chakras), These community limpia events are usually scheduled once or twice a month in the East San Francisco Bay Area and surrounding communities.
The Limpia takes about 5-7 minutes. There is a suggested energy exchange and is paid for by a suggested donation that is comfortable to the person receiving the limpia ceremony. However no one will be turned away due to financial hardship. If an exchange of currency isn't possible a traditional Wopila (gift) can be as simple as bringing your practitioner gifts of food, dried plant seeds for planting, herbs such as Ruda-Sage-Rosemary-Mint, tea blends, a flower from your garden, a plant clipping from a special plant of yours, sacred tabacco, prayer bundle, candle, essential oils, bath salts, incense, copal resin, plant, succulent cutting, a rose, or whatever you feel you are called to give coming from your heart. If this is a hardship your blessings, prayers and gratitude are enough. No one will be turned away.

We will come and set up and provide this offering for your attendees as a special gift with no charge to your organization. All ceremonies are done by donation base to those receiving the ceremony.

Sacred Directions - Platica & Limpia Ceremony

"Limpias," are a way to clear or rebalance your energy. They are used in the ancient practice of Curanderismo and have been done in my lineage for thousands of years.
This Platica & Limpia Ceremony is based on the current season of the sacred directions of the East, South, West and North Mēxihcah medicine wheel the Rumbos. Each one symbolizing a different meaning and the opportunity to grow and blossom 🌹
Platica & Limpia Ceremonies are always done in person. I am part of a womxn's co-op healing studio The Secret Garden - Livermore Healing Space in the East Bay Area in California. Each ceremony is unique and created with the person receiving it in mind. A pre-ceremony virtual Platica (heart to heart talk) is required before your ceremony. This allows us to connect and find out more about each other, answer any questions you may have and give me an idea on how I can honor you on your special day. It takes many days even weeks for me to prepare for your ceremony so this is an essential step to providing you a unique experience.
