Watering Family Seeds Ceremony

We are truly honored and filled with excitement to extend a warm invitation to you for our Seeds of Love weekend. This special gathering is dedicated to anchoring community and creating a space for deep connection, renewal, and transformation and includes two ceremonies - SomoS Ceremony Saturday Night and Sacred Toad Ceremony Sunday morning.

As a global community of rainbow people, we are the bridges, the guardians, the students, and the teachers, and we believe that you are too. Our altar is a space where all people feel welcomed, seen, and held with love. We invite you to join us for this powerful prayer of unity and transformation, as we support one another on our personal journeys of healing and expansion through deep inner work, alongside one another. Your presence and prayers contribute to a weaving of souls that embody loving presence and the spirit of the rainbow. Come celebrate with us in the joining of hearts and community, in love, shadow, and light.

Lead Facilitators & Support Team:

🌿 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 our 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.
