Lunar Gatherings

Every Full Moon at arise Body & Mind 

Every month the energy of the full moon brings us the opportunity to release emotions, experiences, behavior and thought patterns, and outdated beliefs. 

We are excited to offer a series of sacred gatherings, where we create a safe space to connect with each other, meet like-minded people to reflect, cleanse and manifest your intention each month.

Together, we harness the energies of the moon to illuminate all areas of your life through different rituals and ceremonies.

In this Full Moon Michaela Prister (aka La Cristàna), Mediator of Deep Spirituality from the Dolomites, will guide you through a Gratitude Ceremony.

The ceremonies of "La Cristàna" are a tender encounter with the ancient wisdom and customs of the original peoples of these sacred mountains of Vitril, known as the Dolomites. We gather around the ceremonial fire and pay homage to a pure and simple language by offering rose petals, milk, butter and incense from the sacred tree of Mother Medrisa Reitia in a golden vessel. After we have purified our intention, we place grains of barley in the fire, in the context of red, white and gold.

Symbolism: The rose petals represent the ardour and passion of our blood, which is transformed into devotion and unconditional love, revealing the truth. The pure white represented by milk, which was the basic food of our ancestors, reveals life and truth itself in mystical language.

From the most sincere and pure love, like that of the mother, as well as the purest and absolute truth, the luminous gold approaches us to the same extent that we are attracted to it, like the grain of barley in its growth. From the fertile soil of our Mother, sprouting in unconditional love for absolute truth, for life and for the Father Sun, we ripen like barley into golden splendour, that nourishment and life force, nourished by Mother Medrisa Reithia and the Rey de Rayes, like every being.

This fundamental symbolism of many people who are deeply connected to the cycles of nature is also found here and was the basis of traditions that are almost unknown to us moderns. In deep reverence they celebrated the celestial and terrestrial cycles, as well as the female and male cycles, the basis of everything that grows, breathes and lives or dies, transcends and transforms.

By drawing on this ancient symbolism, we celebrate with renewed spirit the connection to ancestors and children, to the earth and the cosmos, and complete a union of soul and spirit. I look forward to welcoming you to this fraternal gathering.
