Full Moon Agni HotraFire Ceremony
Wednesday, November 16th@ 6:30 – 8:30 pmwith ShalvahOrah
Join your community in a transformational full moon fire ceremony and meditation designed to help you heal on all levels. Agni Hotra, which means “fire healing” is a powerful ceremony from the Vedic tradition that amplifies your heartfelt prayers and intentions. Full moon is a time to clear out and relinquish all that is no longer useful. During the full moon, the healing effects of the Agni Hotra ceremony are amplified, so it is a particularly auspicious time for letting go of obstacles and blocks in your life—including addictions, old patterns, karmic imbalances, thought forms, self-limiting beliefs, and anything that keeps you from being free. The fire ceremony assists in releasing those energies back to the infinite quantum field, leaving an open space for new energy to enter your life. The Agni Hotra will be followed by a short meditation to help integrate the experience. Cost: $20
