Module 1: The 4 Sacred Elements & the History of Mushrooms in the Mazatecan Culture
In this opening module, you’ll discover the Mazatecan way in which elements interact in our daily lives as powerful forces of healing and guidance.
We’ll explore the history and the lineage of the mushroom altar, the connection as a holistic system of healing with the four elements, and the four sacred Mazatecan altar medicines. You’ll learn to discern your most dominant element — and what types of work, rituals, and offerings you can do to find balance, harmony, and beauty in the dance of each individual element.
Module 2: Sacred Medicine of Earth — How Cacao Can Help Release Worry and Anxiety
Earth is our beloved ground. Every rock and every piece of mountain is made of the ancient minerals of life that create fertile grounds for life to flourish.
In this module, we’ll explore how the earth elements hold us together as one, as well as the energy of gravity, which invites us to deepen our relationship to our ancestral roots.
You’ll be introduced to cacao medicine and learn how it relates to the element of earth — through its flavor, shape, and color. We’ll open a space of prayer and devotion for our Mother Earth — and commune with the emotion of agitation that emerges when we forget or disconnect from our own roots of existence.
Together with the cacao and the earth we’ll release some of the worry or anxiety that can build up in our emotional systems — particularly in our digestive systems and in our minds.
Module 3: Sacred Medicine of Water — Wash Away Fear & Sadness With the Magic of Flowered Water
Water is the most clear and neutral source of life. It is through the waters in the womb of our mothers that we were born. Water is the most precious element for life on planet Earth — and when we internalize the beauty of water, we get in touch with the immense mystery of life itself.
We’ll be introduced to the flow of water and the movements of ease and relaxation. Eugenia will share a prayerful way of charging the water with healing and clearing energy. We’ll learn how water gives us the opportunity to wash away grief and sadness — as we surrender to its natural flow.
We’ll also create a special flower combination of water and flowers to bathe ourselves in a restorative, comforting ritual.
Module 4: Sacred Medicine of Air — Cleaning the Mind & Invoking Peace With the Sacred Medicine of Copal
The air that we breathe is the carrier of messages and life force for our destinies.
— Doña Eugenia
It is through air that all creatures are linked together in the biosphere of life. By exploring the air element, we’ll embark on a journey of change and possibility. When we enter into communion with this element of life, we’re invited to welcome it with an open heart and expansive lungs that can grasp the blessing of spirit.
We’ll explore how air is a vehicle for transformation, and how it exists in everything that’s animated in our world. We’ll learn how to study and observe the winds of change in our lives, getting a sense of when it’s important to listen to the wind — and also when it’s necesarry to protect ourselves from harmful winds. Through the sacred medicine copal (tree resin) we’ll work on our minds and our thoughts, discovering how the mind affects the way that we feel and relate to internal and external emotions.
Copal can serve as a medium to pray for peace within yourself. You’ll learn about the origins of this medicine, its ceremonial way of being used, how to clean your mind and thoughts, and how to clear and harmonize your physical spaces, such as your office or home.
Module 5: Sacred Medicine of Fire — Lighting the Candle of Hope to Let Go of Anger & Resentment
Fire represents the eternal flame of transformation and alchemy.
— Doña Eugenia
We’ll unite our hearts and our intentions to create a ritual of light and hope.
Together, through the light of the ceremonial candles, we’ll invoke the light of divine guidance into our lives, transforming old feelings of anger and resentment into a prayer of hope, kindness, and balance. Fire represents hope, giving us light in the dark times and helping guide our intentions and our visions into a more fulfilling realm of existence.
In this prayerful session, you’ll discover how to integrate ceremonial candles into your life — through setting devotional intentions when lighting and invoking the element of fire to illuminate your soul and our collective destiny.
Module 6: Introduction to the Spirit of Los Niños Santos (The Holy Children) — Connecting Emotions to the Entire Cosmos
Module 7: Integration Ritual — Prayer to Our Universal Mother Tonantzintla
After the ceremonial ritual of the four sacred elements, medicines, and mushrooms in our life’s altar, it’s time to integrate the power of the medicines through prayer and affirmation.
We’ll close our work and exploration by bringing tribute to our divine Mother Earth, Mother Tonanzintla, with a ritual known as the Mazatecan Rosary.
We’ll offer our work back to the womb of our Mother Earth, asking for her compassion and guidance with this new alliance created with the four elements. Finally, we’ll ask for the blessing of the four sacred elements so we can receive the guidance of this ancient wisdom for the rest of our lives.
