FACILITATED BY: Aki Hirata Quetzalyolotzin Jewel Moon Medicine Woman + Madre Jaguar
EXCHANGE: $35-$75 Sliding Scale
Join Madre Jaguar and Aki Hirata in this healing circle and community ritual. A warm, sweet and nurturing space will be created where we can tune into our hearts, connect with nature, and tend to our inner world. Together, we will create a "Tlalmanalli," a communal offering and earth altar in the Mexica tradition. This is a beautiful way to honor the land, her guardians, the elements, and the spirits of nature, asking for their permission to begin our healing journey in a spirit of mutual respect and reciprocity.
The medicine of Cacao and a guided meditation by Aki Hirata will assist us in gently opening our hearts, allowing us to embrace our capacity for deeper love as the natural, universal law.
Madre Jaguar will then guide us through Toltec Breathwork, or “Recapitulation”—an ancestral somatic practice rooted in Toltec wisdom. This breathwork technique helps us heal and transform on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. Through Toltec Breathwork we are able to reclaim our power and soul essence by revisiting and reviewing past experiences from a neutral perspective, allowing us to “see” issues more clearly, identify patterns and assist us in releasing toxic memories and emotions.

Offerings for our collective altar - flowers, herbs, seeds, fruit, etc (organic items that can be left in nature)
Comfortable clothes and shoes
Sun hat
Your favorite mug
An eye mask or cloth to cover your eyes
Water bottle

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!
