reclaiming our freedom
Rapeh Ritual and Community Circle
Saturday July 26th | 5-9PM | Baltimore City, MD
Join us in a private home in Baltimore City (near Morgan State University Campus) as we gather to celebrate our everlasting freedom, passed down to us by our ancestors and stewarded by us for generations to come.
This circle will be facilitated by Charlotte Duerr James, PLT Founder and Medicine Woman, Gabrielle Williams, Teacher, Medicine Woman and holistic healer, and Hamilton Garces, facilitator and Sound Guide.
Gathering offerings:
πΏ Invocation and Intention Setting: We will commence our ceremony by forming a sacred circle, inviting participants to share their intentions for the evening. This collective energy will set the tone for the healing journey ahead.
π Guided Meditation: Immerse yourself in the tranquil embrace of nature as our facilitators guide you to connect with the elements and ground your spirit in preparation for the healing work.
π± Sacred Medicine Ritual: As the sun dips below the horizon, we will partake in a community ritual with Rapeh Medicine. This ancestral practice is designed to facilitate introspection, release emotional blockages, and invite profound healing on all levels. All medicines served are legal within this jurisdiction and do not contain psychoactive components. Partaking in the medicine is always optional.
πDance of Elemental Harmony: As the evening unfolds, allow the rhythmic heartbeat of the earth to guide your body in a mesmerizing Dance of Elemental Harmony. Underneath the canopy of stars, join the collective energy as we sway, spin, and twirl in celebration of the equinox's balance. Let the music and movement become a visceral expression of your inner journey, connecting you to the profound energies of this sacred night.
π Closing Circle and Gratitude: We will conclude our ceremony by joining hands in a closing circle, expressing gratitude for the healing, insights, and connections we've experienced. The energy cultivated throughout the evening will be sealed and carried forth.
