Indigenous Peoples Day

  • The Sanctuary 1048 E Main Rd Portsmouth, RI United States (map)

We welcome you to join us for a very special One World Cacao Ceremony, Wisdom Teaching (new!) & Sound Bath on Indigenous Peoples Day.  REGISTER HERE

The medicine of these teachings coming through is so potent, grounding & powerful that we have decided to open our doors both in person and virtually so our community can gather from anywhere around the world!!

We will weave history & mythology to bring light to the shadow of our present day world and assist us in acclimating and “making some sense” of what we as a collective humanity and spiritual beings are experiencing, and feed our inner fire and spiritual hearts.

To open the first of our Wisdom Teachings we proudly Welcome Maura Parra, a numerologist & life coach who works with biomagnetism & floral essences from Guatemala. Our founder Nola considers Maura one of her elders and teachers and is honored to share her work and wisdom with our One World Community.

In Maura’s words:
“Human History is the best reminder that cycles have been a great constant in humanity, and wars have been a cruel way of losing so many people. Our people in Guatemala were no exception, and since 1492, which was when the Spaniards arrived on this side of the world, they came to deceive our Indigenous people, who, although they did not have a conventional education, their wisdom in the face of the cycles of the Moon and the Sun, the crops, the hierarchies, the respect for Mother Earth; the equinoxes and solstices, agriculture, was far superior to that of the so-called conquerors. Everything about us so important, and so despised.

Later, history allowed the elites of Guatemala to manipulate in order to become rich, using the peasants on both sides to fight a war where in the end the only ones who came out winning were the leaders, living as the great rich and famous while everyone the peasants who were taken from their homes to be used on behalf of both sides, will fight a war, dying many, while the leaders never suffered what it was like to be away from their families, from their way of life. In wars, those who are in the battles are the big losers, and the leaders, no matter which side, will always be the winners.

However, the history of Guatemala is not the only one. This history has been replicated with many countries, in the name of equity, in the name of freedom.

This is what we see, what we experience, however we know that the history of humanity has been marked since before the Sumerians. Life after life, many souls have been choosing to return to Mother Gaia with the aim of evolving as souls and experiencing the third dimension, since it is here on one of the few planets (if not the only one), where we can experience it, as well as duality. In our way of seeing what has been happening, we know that it has not been fair. 

However, from the moment we understand the story, if instead of being victims, we choose to recognize our inner strength and take responsibility that it is we who have decided to be here, the focus of life changes. We are grateful to be able to serve, to be companions on a journey where today we are observed, as an experiment in many other dimensions, and it is there where we take the strength of our ancestors, and we rise together, to be able to evolve not only as people, but as humanity.”

Our afternoon will begin at 2pm at the Sanctuary in Portsmouth Rhode Island, where we will light the ceremonial fire, prepare our cacao brew together and open our ceremonial space and container.
Nola will open our space with warm mugs of ancient cacao being poured & sharing the wisdom of cacao as medicine and its potent history with us before welcoming our very special guest and wisdom teacher, Maura Parra- direct from Guatemala. To integrate your experience Kimberlee will offer us a sound bath & a channeled energy transmission with Nola. There will be a Choco Chillout afterwards to socialize, share, connect with new friends, sip a tasty cacao elixir and purchase cacao and ceremonial wares for your own home or studio.

no one will be turned away due to finances, please just reach out! ♥️🍫
