Working with sacred plant medicines is a powerful and often life-changing path. But with the rising popularity of these ceremonies, not every space is held with the integrity, safety, or cultural respect it deserves.

We’ll explore:

* What qualities to look for in a facilitator
* Red flags that signal a space may not be safe
* Why cultural lineage and integrity matter
* How to prepare questions to ask before stepping into ceremony

Whether you’re new to this path or simply want to deepen your awareness, this talk will help you feel more grounded and empowered in making choices about your healing journey.

✨ **What to Expect**

* A welcoming, educational space for open discussion
* Practical tools for discernment
* Time for Q&A

📍 Location: Granada Park, Phoenix AZ
🗓️ Date/Time: October 26, 1-2pm
💠 Cost: Free/donation
Come learn how to walk this sacred path with wisdom and safety.

💛 Free Community Offering \| Donations Welcome

✨ Begin your week in rhythm with your breath, your body, and your inner light. Sacred Rhythm Sundays is a Hatha-style yoga experience rooted in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda—balancing solar (sun) and lunar (moon) energies through conscious movement, breath, and deep presence.
🧘‍♀️ Each 75-minute class includes:

* Breath & body connection to ground and center

* Themed mantras woven throughout to restore clarity, vitality, and focus
* A short community share to close and anchor intention for the week

This class is designed to be a mental reset and a physical charge—a sacred pause where you remember your own rhythm and move into the week with intention.
All levels welcome. Some mats and props are provided, but feel free to bring your own comfort items.

🌿 **Talking Circle: Embodiment as Medicine — The Spiritual Art of Healing Through the Body**

📍 Sozo Healing House, Suite 103, Tempe AZ
🗓️ **Tuesday\, November 5 \| 6:00–7:30 PM**

The body is not separate from spirit—it is a living altar, a vessel through which wisdom, emotion, and life force move. Across Indigenous traditions and somatic healing lineages, embodiment is seen as both the path and the medicine itself. By listening deeply to the body, we can access profound guidance, release stored patterns, and remember our innate wholeness.

From a therapeutic lens, embodied awareness supports nervous system regulation, trauma healing, and authentic presence. Spiritually, it opens us to the sacred intelligence that lives within every cell.

💠 **In this circle, we’ll explore:**
• How embodiment is understood in Indigenous and spiritual traditions
• Somatic practices that support healing and integration
• Ways the body communicates wisdom, emotion, and spiritual insight
• Tools for weaving embodied awareness into daily life and ceremonial practice

✨ **What to Expect:**
• A grounding somatic practice to attune to the body’s wisdom
• A sharing circle with teachings from both Indigenous and clinical perspectives
• Reflections and simple embodiment tools you can take home
Bring a journal, wear comfortable clothing, and (if you wish) bring a small sacred item for our altar space.

This gathering is part of *The Medicine Way’s* community series—where we remember, root, and walk together in beauty.

**Free / donation-based event.**

• Simple ways to bring art into personal and communal healing

✨ **What to Expect:**
• A gentle creative practice to open inner pathways
