Sealing our blessings for Kamala and sending our intentions to the White House. Words can’t fully express the magic we created together. This night was truly perfect, and I am deeply grateful for every soul who joined us, both in body and spirit. The energy in the room was electrifying, and the sacred space we shared was filled with power and purpose. Thank you for making this night unforgettable. –Rebecca

Cultivate Worthiness and Watch Your Intentions Bloom 🌻

Recently, I've found myself reflecting on the choices I make and the importance of saying "no." When we agree to things that pull us away from our goals or don't bring us joy, we're often saying no to our true selves. I've begun to honor my path by embracing "no" more often, allowing space for something more authentic and meaningful to unfold.

What does your "no" look like? A wise woman once shared with me that every "no" is a "yes" to something more aligned with our deeper desires. You are worthy of your desires, and this Virgo New Moon invites you to fully embrace your self-worth. How are you honoring your gifts and values? Are you setting boundaries that reflect your sense of worth and ensuring that those you encounter treat you with the respect and care you deserve?

I'd love for you to join us tomorrow night at 7:15 (https://www.sagrada.com/events/2024/new-moon-zd9y7-pef84-ft6ck-jkn5w-psbrg) as we explore these themes further. Together, we'll dive into the astrology of this lunar phase, reflect through a heartfelt poetry reading, and relax into a soothing sound bath designed to help you crystallize your intentions under this new moon.

I look forward to sharing this sacred space with you.

Blessings and harmony,
Rebecca

Celebrate the Blue Supermoon with Us: Reflection, Community, and Connection 💙 🌕

It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since I took the reins at SAGRADA. We celebrated our anniversary in June, and what a journey it has been—one filled with faith, synchronicity, and more than a little sweat! 😅 As we approach our first supermoon of the year—a rare blue moon at that—I’m filled with gratitude and reflection on the milestones we’ve achieved together.

This past year hasn’t unfolded exactly as I imagined, but the fact that we’re still standing, still growing, is a testament to our resilience. I’m incredibly proud to be part of this dynamic community with all of you.
How has your year been? Have you faced setbacks or celebrated victories? Whether you’re feeling grounded or a bit unsteady, take a moment to honor where you are. Celebrate the simple yet profound act of showing up, no matter the circumstances.

Full moons are a time of culmination, and a supermoon amplifies that energy. This one, in the thoughtful and evolved sign of Aquarius, reminds us to consider our role within the collective. Aquarius encourages us to focus on community, collective growth, and consciousness, urging us to play our part in shaping the world we wish to live in.

Tomorrow night at 6:15 pm (https://www.sagrada.com/events/2024/full-moon-july-emje7) , we’ll gather to explore the significance of this powerful lunation, along with other celestial happenings. We’ll set the mood for a mindful full moon intention-setting, enhanced by a sound bath and poetry. Come for the insight, stay for the connection, and immerse yourself in the heartfelt community we’re building together.

I hope to see you there!
Blessings and harmony,
Rebecca

Happy new moon in Leo. We had a beautiful moon ceremony last night to invite the playfully bold energy of the lion into our lives. Part of our community lunar ceremonies include poetry, or in this case prayer.

Here’s a prayer called “for taking up space” by Shannon K. Evan’s in her book “Feminist Prayers for My Daughter.”

O Expansive One,

For so long women have been told not to take up too much space:
not with their bodies,
not with their voices,
not either their demands and desires.

Society has assured us that the ideal woman is small:
small in body,
small in voice,
small in demands and desires.

May it never be so for my daughter.
May the very idea make her laugh.
May she know that she knows that she knows
that she is worthy of taking up space.

May she give her body permission to be whatever size it needs to be.
May she believe her voice is important to be heard.
May she be certain that her demands are reasonable and that her desires point her to you.

May my daughter refuse to make her life small. May she always take up space

Amen.
