Each year the Dreamlodge rises after Spring Equinox with March or April's full moon and stands tall until winter.
November’s Full Moon is the last of the season. During the winter we hibernate.
Join us for a few hours as the moon rises or for the whole night and sleep/dream.
The ceremony is held inside a tipi, where we come together to pray and sing, speak our dreams to manifest them, and night dream together under the moonlight.
During the ceremony we sing, laugh, & pray. Some special elements include:
- Prayers with our Moondance obsidian canupas
- Sharing of Songs Musica!
- Sharing dreaming techniques & sharing of our dreams in the morning
- Smoking & Drinking the Medicine of Mugwort
- Sharing teachings of the Obsidian Mirror & using it before bed
Here we laugh, cry, enjoy ourselves as womxn in a safe space while we pray.

Mayan Fire Ceremonies
Celebrating the
Turning of
Seasons
Equinox & Solstice Ceremonies
A Mayan fire ceremony is an ofrenda/offering to the Gods. Weather giving thanks and feeding the Spirits or petitioning for an answered prayer from God. When its a community ceremony, all come together to honor their ancestors and pray to the nahaules (the 20 sacred daysigns in the Mayan calendar).
The Ajq’ij creates a fireplace, a banquet, a feast for the spirits and Creator. Using no wood, they build the fire with candles and delicious sweets; such as copal, cedar, rosemary, sage, tobacco. To even chocolate, fruit, sugar, honey, and flowers. A beautiful altar or mandala is made and then after evoking the spirits, everything is burned and together we call in the scared 20 energies.
In this ceremony we call in the ancestors and spirits, while creating a portal for them. During this time we ask for prayers of healing in our lives. The offerings that we put into the fire carry our prayers to Creator. Each offering carries a different energy and intention, a different prayer, and the combination is a rich banquet of energies offered to Ahua.
These offerings are a way of giving food and life to Mother Earth. While feeding Mother Earth, the participants also feed themselves. The Fire Ceremony gives life and energy to all those who take part. We sustain our lives by sustaining Mother Earth.
