Sedona Arizona was a very sacred place to visit during winter solstice 2012. In the midst of a fast pace life accepting the invitation from Carissa Schumacher to slow down, connect with nature, and turn attention to prayer and shaman ceremony was a blessing. This land of red rock and mystic history is stunning!
Winter Solstice 2012 was extra special this year as it was also 12.21.2012 which marked the end of an age according to the Mayan Calendar. Taking time out to honor these gateways of time and cycles that nature moves us through is an incredible way to feed the soul and synch up with nature.
Led by Joseph Grey Wolf and Carissa Schumacher, we turned our attention to the immense natural beauty around us. As we hiked out to Shaman's cave, known as a site for prayer and ceremony for many ages, Grey Wolf introduced us to the traditions
honoring the resonant frequency and aliveness in all of nature. Joseph explained that the Native American's hold great reverence for the "Rock People" and the "Tree People".
We stopped on the path to breathe through our eyes, with our eyes closed, as a practice to strengthen the visual connection to the magic we were surrounded by. This level of awareness heightened my connection to this important transition of time and the honoring of all that has been, and the visioning of all that will be.
Our afternoon at Shaman's Cave was surreal. We sat for intentional meditation and sent blessings and prayers out to the world, we danced and drummed, and explored the phenomenal red rock that held the cave.
