EXCHANGE: $125-$225 Sliding Scale
This event is taking place in-person in a private residence in LA from 12pm-6pm PST (location will be shared with registrants).
Join us on Saturday, August 9th for a day of re-connection, reverence and community as we tend to our individual and collective heart. We gather in a beautiful garden within a private residence in Highland Park on an I’x (Jaguar) day in the Mayan count of days. Ix is a mediator between the seen and unseen, it is the sacred creative energy of the Universe, of women and our earth mother and thus considered to be a day of high magic!
Please bring snacks, food and drink to share with the community. Drinks will be served by Raw Cane Juice.
Activities Include:
Weaving of a Tlalmanalli: An earth altar and offering is made to tend to the roots, honor and acknowledge the ancestors and guardians of the land
Grief ritual: Commune with the deep and loving medicine of Ix Cacao and Toltec breathwork to soften and open the heart, process, release and transmute grief
Creative writing: Tap into your creative energy and ground your highest visions and intentions; for yourself, your community and the entire world
Flower essence workshop: Commune with Native Tongva plants and learn how to craft your own flower essence
Meditation, community Reiki & prayers: We will close this portal on a deeply and calming note to ground and harmonize
A portion of the proceeds will go to Chilra + Borderkindness for their continued fight for human immigrant rights.

Paying it Forward
We provide most of our community offerings and private sessions by sliding scale. This is based on the idea of ‘paying it forward’ which enables more people to access healing and wellness. This works when people pay as much as they can for our offerings to help others who may be less fortunate be able to gain access, too. We believe everyone is entitled to heal and thrive, and that practitioners deserve to earn a living wage. We are all in this together and choose to do our best to take care of one another.
Thank you for being part of the MINKA community!
