Healing Circle

Book a 1:1 Coaching Session with Annie Sayo

9-Day New Moon Healing Circles hosted by Annie Sayo

With every New Moon C.A.R.E. offers Healing Circles for those interested in joining us. We fast from processed foods; reset our digestive systems; and reduce stress with yoga and meditation. 

Healing Circle: 9-day nutritional detox, journal, guided meditation, and yoga for beginners is repeated three times at the start of each New Moon.

Purpose

To learn another way to clean the body, mind and spirit as a collective; To deepen attunement with ourselves in relation to family, friends and broader community; And, to improve the relationship with food and Mother Nature. 

Prior to colonization, food represented culture, community, identity and way of life. Colonization introduced new crops and different ways of food prep that made indigenous populations susceptible to disease and death. Much of the food culture of indigenous people were erased by Europeans, which introduced many Black Indigenous People Of Color (BIPOC) communities to health ailments and continues to affect the BIPOC communities in larger numbers than people of European descent. 

Colonization created centuries of trauma among BIPOC communities through ravaging our native lands, culture and people; Hence, the generational trauma infected our current history and way of life. This has led working class and people of color communities to have less access to affordable health care, healthier options of food choices, affordable housing, education and much more. 

People of color, historically, have had to bare the burden of this historical trauma. This trauma has impacted the central nervous system and DNA expression inter-generationally. Introducing our bodies to a healthier way of eating and being can reconstruct the DNA.

Colonialism and Capitalism was designed to divide, conquer and destroy so the purpose of this Healing Circle is to counter this tactic by uplifting our minds, bodies and spirits WHOLE-istically in unity.

Our innate being of flowing harmoniously in the feminine and masculine energy resides in humans, but the disconnection deteriorated with the slaughter of our ancestral traditions, culture, land and ways of living through colonization. Continuous cleansing properly in a whole way can be a way to assist in restoring this balance.

What does this cleanse entail?

I purposefully align this cleanse with the new moon. As we approach a new phase of growth, I will facilitate our processing through journal writing prompts and discussions in relation to Goddess Luna’s offerings to gain the most from this cleanse. Circles gather before and during the cleanse via zoom for 30 minutes each gathering, and we will have a text thread to use with the purpose of support and offer questions and insight during the cleanse. 

This 9 Day cleanse can be found in the book Cleanse To Heal by Anthony William.
