THIS OFFERING IS IN-PERSON ONLY AT GRAND ST. HEALING PROJECT (limited capacity to 30 people)
As the year turns, we gather in person to honor what has passed, bless what shaped us, and step into 2027 with our FULL voice.
We have held this ceremony every New Year's Eve since 2019. It is a devotional practice of reflection, ritual, and energetic cleansing through the Curanderismo healing art of Rose Limpia, taught by Maestras Rita Navarrete Pérez and Antonita González.
At the heart of this year's gathering is the practice of blessing. Blessing is not forgiveness. It does not condone, agree with, or invite harm. It simply acknowledges what happened. We bless the one who suffered, the one who caused the suffering, and the one who witnessed it, so the charge we hold around these experiences can finally move through body, mind, and field.
This year we also reclaim our voice: the truth we swallowed, the knowing we hid, the parts of ourselves we learned were too much to show. Through voice activation, we bring back the sound that was silenced. We celebrate who we are becoming, out loud and in witness of one another.
The rose is our medicine. Its petals sweep the heart, its thorns remind us of resilience and necessary offerings, and its fragrance calls us into deeper devotion. Blessings serve as the lubricant of the spirit, softening the grip of fear and shame, integrating our experiences, and allowing the sweetness of life to flow through body and psyche.
Together, we will:
Create a community altar to honor the passing year
Open our hearts with ceremonial cacao
Threshold message from the Akashic Field
Practice the art of blessing: the one who suffered, the one who caused it, and the one who witnessed it
Release through breath and movement
Activate our voice and celebrate who we are becoming
Receive Rose Blessing and Cleansing (Rose Limpia) for clearing, grounding, and renewal
Prayers for 2027
Oracle cards will be available as your contemplative tool
Community Healing: By coming together in shared intention and support, we amplify the energetic power of the work. The collective presence strengthens each participant, deepening healing, insight, and connection. In this shared container, the heart's burdens are met with reflection, care, and the power of communal devotion.
Step into this threshold with devotion, reflection, and openness. Let the rose guide you, and let your voice carry you across.
Please bring:
1–2 dozen roses (color of your choosing)
Journal or notebook
Pen or writing utensil
Comfortable clothing for floor sitting
Snack to share with the community
A small item for the community altar (you'll take it home charged with the group's healing intention)
Notes:
🌿 The blessings offer the lubrication needed to loosen the hold that keeps energetic charge around events, issues, and emotions that are no longer relevant or necessary for our growth.
🌿 We will use the power of blessing, breath, and voice to co-create a field of release. This frees us from undigested feelings and emotions so we can enter the portal of the new year with clarity and power.

What Is Sliding Scale?
We offer all of our community offerings and some private sessions by Sliding Scale. We believe everyone is entitled to heal their wounds so they can thrive; we also believe that the wellness and healing practitioners deserve to make a living wage. In order to make this possible, we ask you to pay as much as you can, so those who might not be able to pay as much can still receive their healing session - this is the idea behind 'paying it forward'. We are all in this together, and we choose to do our best to take care of one another.
Thank you in advance!
