AWAKEN AHURANI
 

Ahurani was known in ancient Persian mythology as the goddess of water.

She watched over rainfall, bodies of water and was invoked for health, healing, and growth. Ahurani plays to the theme of this dynamic event as we gather in a valley, surrounded by rolling hills, within the Navarro River basin.

It’s time to wash away that which is no longer serving you, become crystal clear on your motivations, and dive head first into what you wish to create in your life.

Erin is devoted to illumination. What is it that sparks us awake? How do we expand both our boundaries and our interior edges?

Her pre-professional training in ballet and her curiosity of the human cosmos blend discipline and whimsy in the pursuit of awakening and living our fullest life.


Lakeisha Poole

Founder/CEO of Talent Karma - Creator/COO of #STEMSaturdays  - Lawyer
Lakeisha will be facilitating a workshop on EXERCISING HEALTHY BOUNDARIES. "Whether in the personal, professional or romantic context, healthy boundaries are essential in relationships. Without healthy boundaries, we give up our power, happiness and freedom to be our highest and most empowered self. So many smart ambitious and emotionally intelligent women struggle to be advocates in their relationships. Refusing to set healthy boundaries is one of the primary ways we express the belief that we are not good enough and in turns leads to resentments, dissatisfaction, and anxiety."

Jessica Anne Huntington

Health & Lifestyle Coach
www.jessicahuntington.com
Jessica helps women feel empowered in their lives and confident in their bodies! She believes that in order to grow, you have to let go of the thing you are attached to that is stopping you... you need is a "Mindset Makeover."

"We are such beautiful creatures, yet we can say such ugly things to ourselves. Our self-talk affects our beliefs, the way we treat ourselves, and how we show up in our lives. It is a direct line to our confidence and self-worth. In my workshop, we will create the space to look inward, recognize what our self-talk sounds like, and give this inner dialogue an upgrade so we can move forward with more love and compassion for ourselves and others." - Jessica


Giovanna Garcia Valencia

Cacao Medicine Facilitator - Poet - Wellness Mentor
www.giovannagarcia.co/cacao-ceremony/

What is Cacao? Cacao, the main ingredient in chocolate, is a plant medicine of the heart. It's believed that Cacao was used as ceremonial medicine as far back as 1900 BC by the ancestors of Central America, before becoming a ritualistic medicine used by the Aztec and Mayan cultures. It can unlock the heart space, awaken all senses, and amplify the expression of intentions and transformation.

Giovanna is no stranger to women's ceremonies and will lead our sacred journey through medicine songs and guided meditation. You've never experienced cacao like this before!
