Upcoming Events

Facilitated by Ayla Rose & myself (Elden Vala) this space is oriented toward healing (bit by bit) from the wound of being severed from the ancient, magical ways of our peoples within a communal setting.  

It is suitable for all levels of curiosity & experience.  The session will center on a universal theme to explore, gain clarity, mourn what’s been lost & celebrate what can be remembered.  

This is a donation based event. No one will be turned away from lack of funds.  What to bring:  - A journal - An open heart - A power object that feels nurturing & or protective  Please keep in mind:  A central part of this session is looking at & working with the substance of ancient-to-modern trauma created by imperialism, colonialism & weaponized religion. These sessions may bring things up that are uncomfortable & even scary.  

Please attend only if:  

- You are feeling physically, psychically & spiritually fortified. 

- You are feeling ready & capable to witness others exploring their wounds. 

- You are open to participating in a healing space held by a woman of color & a man who is a descendent of European settlers.

Breath of Maharlika is a guided breathwork + energy work ceremony facilitated by Michael Barrios & Elden Vala.  

This container provides a space to sweep away any defenses, blockages, restrictions, or pains that are holding you back from a deeper sense of clarity, authentic power & embodiment of your true essence.  

Through a combination of circular breathing, rhythmic music, energy work, and sound medicine you will be guided toward your bodies innate intelligence & the connective, healing capacity within you.  

During the ceremony you will be lying down for a prolonged period of time (sitting is an option if necessary).  

Please wear comfortable clothing.  

Please avoid eating heavy foods prior to this event, ideally you would not consume any food for the 2 hours before coming.  

If possible we also recommend taking some time to sit with what you are intending to call in through this experience.

- A yoga mat 

- A blanket 

- Something to cover your eyes with - A small personal power object (ie. a crystal, jewelry, ancestral relic, etc.)
