E não ter a vergonha de ser feliz
É a vida, é bonita e é bonita
Do not be ashamed to be happy
Life is beautiful and it’s beautiful
~ Gonzaguinha
We launched the Brazil Alchemical Constellations Training with a 4-day live event beside the unspoiled waterways of the Pantanal, the geographic heart of South America. The day before the gathering, we swam under a high mountain waterfall where we were greeted by a female goddess who aligned our bodies to the rhythms of the natural world as we immersed in the vibration of her waters, plants and animals.
Emily saw her moving and singing softly alongside the height of the fall and then felt her song encode into her body. Upon returning, she described her and the experience to our translator, Silvia, who said, “Of course, you met, Mamãe Oxum (Mother Oshun), the river goddess, who is considered a powerful Orisha associated with fresh water, fertility, love, and sensuality.”
When our students arrived the next day, they came fully committed to feel the pulse of the land, the light of the universe, the influences of the ancestors, and their soul’s purpose coursing through their bodies. When these harmonize, the chains of past traumas dissolve and we are freed to fulfill our highest intentions for love, abundance, and wellbeing.
Our group reflected the spirit and diversity of Brazil, and its unique blending of European, African, and Indigenous peoples and their cultures. Like all modern people, Brazilians are living in a moment of human history that is unique for its possibilities and its perils.
As visitors from the States, it was exhilarating for us to feel that below the typical challenges and hardships, the students possess an underlying joy for the gift of life.
They radiate the capacity to celebrate every moment – “to not be ashamed to be happy” – as sung through the lyrics of what came to be the theme song for this training.
During our days together, students awakened their intuition, reclaimed inner knowing, and discovered how unconscious entanglements and undigested wounds infuse their desires, intentions, and forward movements.
At one point in the process, a woman representing Brazil began to drum and representatives for ancient wisdom circled around her. Emily set an inner intention (without voicing it) to infuse the sound and vibration of the representative’s drum with Oshun’s frequency and blessings.
Just a few minutes later, another translator, André, shared that Shango’s presence was felt in the constellation, an important Orisha (African God) that embodies dance, thunder, and virility.
He continued to suggest that Oshun is holding the space and has been with us throughout the course of the program. In community, we expanded our capacity to communicate and connect with elemental, ancestral, spiritual, earth, cosmic and mythic consciousness.
One of our most powerful exercises had the students stand in rotating pairs with one partner representing themselves and the other representing one of
8 archetypal elements:
- Mother
- Father
- Your soul
- Your human body
- Eros/intimacy
- The brutal and blood-stained road your family has traveled
- Ancestral resources
- Spiritual resources
As they exchanged, powerful emotions, insights, prayers, and reconciliations filled the room. Everyone present was deeply impacted, as the weight of sorrows, regrets and grief dissolved from their bodies and the healing power of love and connection flowed in.
We are deeply appreciative of our host Gianeh Borges, the Instituto de OCA, and her extraordinary team of organizers, interpreters, supporters, and soul guides for holding us so tenderly with fierce intention. It was a journey from beyond the beyond and we are so grateful!!!
