Join Anaiya for an evening of rhythmic drumming, community, and intention setting designed to attune your Spirit tempo to that of the Universe.
We will begin our drum circle with a “fire ceremony” to release what no longer aligns. We will then set a new intention, which we will write down and place into water held within a container. Once intentions have been set, the wellspring is placed in the middle of the circle and drumming begins. As the drum vibrations (sound) move over the water it is believed our intentions are activated and enlivened.
How a drum circle works : A drum circle is inspired by the Beings who gather to create a rhythm that is unique to each circle. No one circle ever sounds the same. The circle typically begins with a “lead” rhythm. Others join in organically to create a community rhythm. The drumming usually follows an arc that wanes naturally over the course of the time shared together.
You are invited to bring any type of drum you choose. If you don’t have a drum, an empty bucket, oatmeal container, or otherwise is just as effective in creating vibration. No drumming experience is needed.
Rooted Reads is a prana rich reading circle designed for individuals who want to enhance their inner wisdom and raise the vibration of the collective. This gathering is a beautiful layer to add to your daily inspirational, spiritual, or meditation practice.
Each month we will come together with the intention to explore, reflect, and be curious about our readings. Discussion questions will be woven into our journey in effort to guide conversation, collaboration, and build community.

The Full Moon gifts us the opportunity to raise our vibration to a higher frequency by transforming intention into manifestation. With the moon’s guiding nurturing light and the wisdom of nourishing herbs, we can co-create what we desire to birth into the Universe.
Join The Rooted Self community in a Full Moon Gathering & Tea Ceremony as we honor the boundless element of air in the sign of Gemini. According to ancient yoga teachings, air is the element of the heart. Aligning with the air element empowers our alignment with all other elements, as air exists within each one. As a teacher, air gifts us the unique opportunity to explore and expand our edges (boundaries) and observe where we unnecessarily give away our energy. Gemini’s sign reminds us of our duality and supports our journey in realigning our inner and outer worlds to our Spirit-heart compass. Together we will explore the teachings of air guided by the herbal wisdom of Thyme and Cardamom and the healing gifts of poetry.
During our time we will share:
Compassionate inquiry & reflection
Meditation
Tea Ceremony & Healing Poetry
Please invite the following into our time:
Journal

Join The Rooted Self community in a Full Moon Gathering & Tea Ceremony as we honor the watery sign of Cancer guided by the wisdom of Chamomile. Water is the element of the second chakra, the energetic wellspring of our creativity, sensuality, and relationships. The second chakra, known as the sacral chakra, governs the tides of our emotions encouraging a flow that travels along the current of life. It provides us with the creative expression needed to birth our passions into the Universe and helps us cultivate a healthy relationship with our inner world, as well as others. The sacred message of water is to remind us of the need for and importance of flow. She gifts us permission to freely express our emotions and invites us to co-create with the Universe. Cancer’s sign informs our intuition and opens the riverbanks of our nurturing channels so that compassion towards Self and others may flow. When paired and guided by Chamomile, we create a gentle nurturing space that offers comfort and ease as we take our final steps through 2023 and into 2024.

Join The Rooted Self community in a Full Moon Gathering & Tea Ceremony as we cultivate inner balance alongside the guiding sign of Libra. Libra is an air sign whose energy restores, replenishes, and renews inner and outer harmony. The element of air gifts us the spaciousness we need for such harmony. Air, in Yoga Philosophy, is found to be the element of the heart. When the heart is in harmony, all things can flow through us without congestion, block, or disruption. When we pair Libra and the element of air with the guiding wisdom of Lavender, we create an internal landscape of openness that allows for the gentle release of the mind into the sanctuary of the heart.
