*BUNDLE: Combine as the Transitional Ceremonies Bundle with the Breath of Manifestation Ceremony on January 3rd 2026 at GSHP $125-225 Sliding Scale
As the year turns, we gather in person to honor what has passed, release what no longer serves, and step into 2026 with spaciousness to expand into our aligned expression.
This ceremony is a devotional practice of reflection, ritual, and energetic cleansing through the Curanderismo healing art of Rose Limpia, taught by Maestras Rita Navarette Perez and Antonia Gonzalez. At the heart of this year’s gathering lies the Sevenfold Blessing, drawn from the teachings shared by Mary Magdalene and fused with the medicine of the Blessings written in the Dead Sea Scrolls. I do not identify as Christian, and this is not a Christian practice—but I hold these teachings as a liberatory framework, offering insight from spiritual, feminist, and decolonial perspectives. Once distorted as the “seven deadly sins” by the Roman Church, part of a broader patriarchal and colonial structure, this teaching is reclaimed here as tools for awareness, growth, and embodiment, helping us honor every part of our human experience—joy, grief, challenge, and triumph—as blessings along our path of transmutation.
The rose is our medicine: petals that sweep the heart, thorns that remind us of resilience and necessary offerings, fragrance that calls us into deeper devotion. Blessings serve as the lubricant of the spirit, softening the grip of fear and shame, integrating our experiences, and allowing the sweetness of life to flow through body and psyche.
Together, we will:
Engage in Rose Limpia, a ritual for clearing, grounding, and renewal.
Explore the Sevenfold Blessing as a tool for expansive awareness, transforming the powers of ego into teachers and allies in daily life.
Reflect on the past year, release what no longer serves, and set intentions for the year ahead.
Create a community altar to honor the passing year and memorialize experiences.
Engage with oracle cards for deeper reflection and psychic investigation.
Hold space for ritual offerings, meditation, and heart-centered devotion, leaving nourished, fortified, and inspired.
Community Healing: By coming together in shared intention and support, we amplify the energetic power of the work. The collective presence strengthens each participant, deepening healing, insight, and connection. In this shared container, the heart’s burdens are met with reflection, care, and the power of communal devotion.
Step into this threshold with devotion, reflection, and openness. Let the rose guide you, and allow your experiences to be recognized as blessings along your path of growth and transformation.

1 - 2 dozens of roses (color of your choosing)
Journal or notebook
Pen or writing utensil
Comfortable clothing for floor sitting
Snack to share with the community
A small item for the community altar (you’ll take it home with you charged with the group’s healing intention)

What Is Sliding Scale?
We offer all of our community offerings and some private sessions by Sliding Scale. We believe everyone is entitled to heal their wounds so they can thrive; we also believe that the wellness and healing practitioners deserve to make a living wage. In order to make this possible, we ask you to pay as much as you can, so those who might not be able to pay as much can still receive their healing session - this is the idea behind 'paying it forward'. We are all in this together, and we choose to do our best to take care of one another.
Thank you in advance!
