SACRED CEREMONY

Sacred Ceremonies create a container for a deep and lasting transformational experience to happen.  There are so many ways we can perceive these moments of pure magic and transcendence.

Here are some ways we – Eostar and Mathias – create a ceremonial container for our participants:

The main goal of a Sacred Ceremony from our perspective is that of an intentional container that allows participants to have their own experience, leading to awakening, expansion and healing.  Intentionality is a very important aspect here.  Sacred ceremony is always a space that must be very safe.  We see it as our job to keep the space clear, beautiful, uplifting, organized and comfortable.  Not only do we take good care of our participant’s physical needs, keeping them comfortable, warm, dry and in a peaceful space, but we also protect the room psychically with our prayers, songs and powerful plant allies.  We always make an intention to bring in the highest of vibrational frequencies in order to allow the journey to guide us all into the Light.  

Our sacred ceremonies involve entheogens.  These sacred sacraments are prepared with the most loving conscious ways possible.  The sacraments are blessed and thanked.   While we charge money for our retreats, the sacred sacraments are always offered completely free of charge.

Eostar and Mathias have been facilitating sacred ceremonies for the last 9 years. Eostar has traveled in South America and has studied and done dieta (spiritual retreat) with Alonso Del Rio, a renowned Peruvian medicine man and author of sacred songs.  Before starting to lead ceremonies, Eostar also supported many such events led by various facilitators in California and Oregon.  This has allowed her to see and experience many different styles and traditions of leadership.  Throughout the 15 years of Eostar’s work with sacred plant allies, she has accumulated a wealth of experience that she is now sharing with her community of people coming to our circles for healing and awakening.  Eostar is a prolific songwriter who has composed a long repertoire of original songs born out of her ceremonial journeys.  She has also toured the West Coast of the USA for decades with her musical ministry.  Eostar has studied many healing modalities including yoga, breathwork and hypnotherapy and she brings her capacity as a  well-trained healer to our sacred ceremonies.

Mathias has been working with sacred plant medicines for 4 decades. His musical style is very much inspired by these experiences.  Mathias brings a wealth of experience to our sacred ceremonies, including his mastery of musicianship that he developed through 4 decades of being a professional guitar player, song-writer and singer.  

The sacred ceremonies that we facilitate are unique in that our musical offering is always of a very high quality.  Our original ceremonial music was written with the intention to provide guidance for the participants and to assure a very high vibrational frequency to envelope the space.  Occasionally we also offer songs that have come to us through the international or South American network of ceremonial culture.  During certain segments of each ceremony, we offer the opportunity for a deeper dive through sound healing instruments such as a 37 inch Chau Gong and crystal bowls, hand-pans and chimes.

Creating, facilitating and leading sacred ceremonies is work that we take very seriously.  We feel that we have been “born for this” and it is our life’s calling.  We feel honored to be in the position to serve in this way.

What can you expect in our ceremonies?

Our sacred ceremonies typically last 6 hours, with a 1.5 hr-long orientation/introduction.  Participants arrive in the afternoon.  The ceremony begins around 8:00 pm and will go till around 2:00-3:00 am.  After that people go to sleep.  We start breathwork and sound healing meditation around 11:00 am the next day, then we follow with an integration circle.  Typically we have two ceremonies back-to-back with the option to participate in just one of them.  

Eostar also offers regular on-line Zoom preparation and integration meetings, which helps participants in being completely informed and prepared. 

If you would like to know more about sacred ceremonies, preparation and integration, please text Eostar at 707 540 2240 to get on the newsletter list or schedule an intake call.

Last year we started a guest book for participants to leave testimonials for us in their own handwriting.  We will post a few of these here without names.
