a ritual rooted in intentional movement
RITUALS ꩜
What is a ritual for you?
The word ritual comes from ritus - rite, ceremony.
Throughout our history as humans, rituals were created to provide structure, maintain harmony within the community and nature, as acts of worship/tradition, and a portal for the divine spiritual world.
A ritual can be any sequence of actions that are meaningful towards an intention or believe; from prepping your morning coffee to the way you massage your feet after a long day, rituals exist to ground you into the present moment and magnify your intentional purpose within these actions.
To take our day-to-day life embraced in mini rituals is to transform the mundane into extraordinary. This might come as a circle gather with meaningful people, or a movement practice with a deeper intention, a consistent habit you are committed for a higher purpose…
Down below, you’ll find my upcoming rituals connected to movement and nature’s cycles.
The Magic of Cycles…
Life on this planet flows through cycles - day and night, the moon phases, the seasons, even the cycles of life and death.
These rhythms of nature are felt and danced by each being that lives in it, specially Women. The female body is deeply connected to the moon cycle through the menstrual cycle and the energetics involved in both. The connection between the female body and nature cycles embodies a deep wisdom that many ancient cultures honored. Women hold an innate power of creation, destruction and renewal. Although, Men are too connected to nature’s cycles in a more subtle way, as they are essencial to find wellbeing and harmony in living.
Today, reconnecting with these cycles can bring a sense of balance, self-awareness, and harmony with the natural world.
Here you’ll find routines and rituals that follow and honor the seasonality of nature and our bodies cycles. From the ingredients we put into our plate, to movement practices that are aligned with our hormonal fluctuation and synched energies with seasonal changes that encourage us to dive deep into our inner work.
PS: do not blame it on the moon…

"Perhaps the most profound aspect of rituals is their power to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. They are about awakening to the magic and wonder what lies within the most mundane moments…"
