About the event
Labor of Love: A Celebration of Harvest and Abundance
Join us for a transformative weekend retreat from August 29th to 31st, as we gather in the spirit of “Labor of Love” to honor the vibrant season of harvest and the rich abundance that comes at summer’s end.
During these days, the cosmos mirrors our celebration. The moon graces the sky in a luminous phase that invites us to nurture our intentions, while the stars whisper ancient secrets of fulfillment and growth. The planets, moving in harmonious alignment, energize this time with potent vibrations that amplify our connection to the earth’s seasonal bounty. This celestial dance serves as a reminder that we, too, are reaping the harvest of our inner and outer labors, and that our lives are woven into the greater tapestry of cosmic cycles.
Embrace this opportunity to connect deeply with yourself, your community, and the ever-unfolding magic of the universe. May this Labor of Love inspire you to celebrate the season’s blessings and step confidently into a future rich with light and possibility.
Lead Facilitator:
Maya Martinez, founder of Somos Sanctuary, was raised in both Colombia and New York City, and has been on a life-long journey studying with indigenous teachers from Colombia, Mexico, the United States, and Brazil, where she was given the name Sakakatwa ‘Rainbow,’ by her family of the Fulniô Tribe. As a dedicated student, she continuously deepens her studies with the sacraments, and has learned many traditional ceremonial practices that help raise the vibration of the planet. It is with great honor, permission, and care, that she shares the weavings of this knowledge with those who are ready to answer the call and receive the wisdom and downloads that come.
