Sacred Blue Lotus Immersion - A Cycle of Medicine Journeys into Light and Full Blossom

Now is the time for healing and transformation. We are all in the process of the great human awakening. Nature is the divine/source so as in our own bodies. We are made with elements in the dance of creating life that we want. We all carry forces of nature that empower us through the darkness/the mud, towards the light/the sun - this is the Creation. Like the Blue Lotus Flower - where the feminine is the container of power and love, and all of life's expressions, and the masculine has the power of polarity, directions and the holding, within this sacred union. After exploring extensively through our own personal healing, serving this sacred medicine actively over the last five years, as well as an inspiring and successful first edition of Immersion last year, Ceremonial Artists and Medicine Guides Araliya Lifeflow and LeilArts feel the calling again to join our gifts and roots, to take you on an immersive journey through the sacred plant of Blue Lotus. This time for the first journey, we will celebrate Summer Solstice with all the uprising energy of the Summer season to open up towards Light and our fullest potentials. We invite you to journey with us through 3 gates (Stem - Connecting to the Roots, Bud - Rebirthing into New, and Flower - Blooming into Full Potential), and we will work with different natural elements for the support of guidance and grounding (Earth, Air and Fire) - each gate is designed to take us closer into our bodies and deeper into the universal Truth, Love and Oneness, with rituals and embodiment practices from various traditions from our Eastern roots. We encourage you to bring in your individual intention and what you like to manifest for your own life. Feeling the call? Join our journey (limited spots, Early Bird until June 10): https://hipsy.nl/event/122347-blue-lotus-immersion-a-medicine-journey-into-light-and-blossom Note: each ceremony can be joined individually and independently, however we highly recommend to complete the full cycle with all three ceremonies involved for the maximum results and impact. OUR COLLECTIVE INTENTION We are learning from traditions yet going beyond with diversity and space of listening to what’s needed in the moment. Our intention is to share embodied wisdom guided by Blue Lotus, so you can feel and experience it in your own body, and to learn to integrate and manifest from those profound experiences into more effortless creations in each moment of your life. Through challenging times as it is now, the essence of the Blue Lotus is tickling our awareness with a majestic and mystical touch to support our being within the process of healing, purification, transformation and a deep feeling of divinity. Drinking with intention, the lotus transforms/shifts the lower energy into higher realms and frequency, going from root to crown, resembling the natural growth and beauty of the flower. Imagine ‘growing’ blue lotus within yourself. STORIES ABOUT BLUE LOTUS: From ancient Egypt, a dream flower was the portal connecting to the other world. To wake up in the dream means our consciousness is co-creating with reality. It’s a flower that promotes power, innovation, beauty and sensuality. It opens up the realm of magic - magic is nature, we become co-creators of our reality. The flower helps with relaxation, for nervous conditions, muscle pain and stress. To allow all to become moving fluid in the body, to breath, to move, to rest and to release freely. In smaller dosage (1-3 flowers), it has a mild effect, but with a larger amount it may create a hallucination effect. In our ceremonies, we will listen to what the group needs within the mild/functional level.

It’s not just about the medicine itself, also in the present moment of slowing down, giving time and space to what’s really alive in your feelings and surroundings, and to listen to what the medicine wants to teach us and guide us. We will close the ceremony with a collective prayer. Grounding Dance & Meditation: Quality of Earth A ritual to fully root down deeply into the earth. Where we will connect ourselves with the darkness, the space where all creations birth. This meditation and dance ritual makes you trust your process and brings you direction and self confidence. Through this embodied practice we bring physical and mental layers together so that they can lift your spirit up. We will prepare ourselves to reach our highest potential. By working with our body senses we experience our unique vibration, the place where all possibilities are created in the now. We will work with powerful mantras and affirmation to get inspired and to incorporate self love deeply into our whole being. We also make space for your individual intention and wishes for what you like to manifest in this cycle too. Expect a lot of joy, movement, relaxation and integration at the same time.

The day started with an enchanting tea ceremony, led by Leila and Araliya, in which words and music merged seamlessly. Their energy and presence immediately created a safe and warm setting in which I could completely relax. The breathing exercises and Yoga sessions were beautifully aligned with the intention of the day and helped me to connect more deeply with myself. Every step felt like an invitation to let go and receive. The use of the Sacred Blue Lotus made everything extra magical. This definitely tastes like more - I will definitely come back next time" -- Chris "I came to the Blue Lotus ceremony with an open mind and left it with a full heart! it was so magical to be surrounded by like minded souls sharing the same vibration.
