Join Caroline Pinheiro and her amazing plant spirit circles support team for a circle to work with the wise force of Kakaw and Tobacco. This circle flow is informed by Caroline’s many years of plant study and a commitment to community building and earth-centred healing. As a Latina journalist, doula, yoguini, and herbalist, rooted in the traditions of Umbanda and Abya Yala shamanism, you can expect to receive invitations and insights that are in alignment with the southern ways of knowing, doing and being.
Each circle is different, like the seasons and us evolving through time. However, guests can expect being invited to reflect on the passage of time and pray with seeds in the spirit of spring-initiation. In general, these specific plant spirit circles offer a space to reflect on the past seasons, learn about the layers of the dream world, desire, intention and soul purpose, as well as setting intentions for the season ahead. Through working with Kakaw (Cacao) and Rapéh (Tobacco and other powerful plants from the Amazon Rainforest), we will deepen our understanding of how to live in harmony with the Earth and each other, from both an ecological and social perspective.
What to Expect:
Kakaw Sharing: A chance to learn about the work with this force and prepare for the spring through the medicine of cacao.
Tobacco Study: A moment to study rapéh and tobacco and ground ourselves with the wisdom of this grandfather.
Life’s Cycles: Deepening our understanding of the natural cycles of life and how we can better align ourselves with them in the coming season.
Intention-Setting: Clarifying personal goals and desires while honoring the interconnectedness of all life.
Ecosocial Relationships: A conversation about coming back into the right relationship with the Earth, focusing on environmental and social responsibilities.
Community Sharing: Bring your rattles, drums, or instruments to enrich our collective experience and support each other in the work.
What to Bring:* A journal for reflection and intention-setting* A water bottle, mug, and an open mind* Seeds of plants you love to trade with the group* Your presence and commitment to starting the spring praying with seeds.
This circle is an opportunity to begin spring with a deeper understanding of how to set intentions that will contribute for you to experience harmony with the natural world. Join us as we come together to reflect, relate, and co-create the present with intention.
