Santa Barbara Medicine Weekend

Come experience resonance, connection, prayer, healing, and teachings from these sacred medicines with May and Willa of Somos Sanctuary.

About this Prayer:

This will be an intimate prayer (with a small group of participants) held in a sweet beach-side cottage here in Santa Barbara. We highly recommend that you join us for both ceremonies, as they layer beautifully with one another and provide an oportunity to commune with the medicines and the teachings with more spaciousness. *Please note that this is not one of our overnight retreat weekends.

All our ceremonies are held with pure love. We are trained guardians of these medicines and hold powerful, potent, and safe containers. We hold our ceremonies in sacred silence, carried by live sound frequency, (songs, ikaros, chants and prayers) that have been passed to us through our teachers and trainings with the lineages of these sacred plants and amphibians. Please note that the burning of dried herbs and tobacco at different moments throughout the ceremony is to be expected.

About the Hosts ~ Maya and Willa:

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.

Willa Kveta, founder of Nalaya Healing, is a Ceremonialist and Sacred Photographer who grew up in the Pacific Northwest attending Waldorf School and always deeply connected to Mother Earth. Willa has spent years traveling in Central and South America learning ancestral wisdom and currently lives in Santa Barbara, CA with her teenage twin daughters who she has raised to be wise young beings full of awareness and grace. Through her ceremonial work, Willa embodies the voice of angels and carries a beautiful humble presence that emanates unconditional love. Her longtime work with sacred plants and teachers continues to deepen, as she learns and grows in love, alongside her soul partner Maya. Willa's purpose is to be a loving mirror of healing, expansion, and magic, helping others embody their fullest expression of self.

As a global community of Rainbow People / People of the 7 Rays, we are the bridges, the guardians, the students and the teachers, and we believe that you are too. We invite you to join us for this powerful prayer of unity and transformation, as we support one another on our journeys of healing and expansion through deep inner work. Your presence and prayers will contribute to the vibrant weaving of togetherness that embodies the spirit of the rainbow. Come celebrate with us in the joining of hearts and community, in love, shadow, and light.
