Mother Mary is so much more than we’ve been led to believe. She is a representation of the Divine Mother’s love. She is the Sacred Feminine of Mother Earth. Her love transcends all things and she is always available to us. The rosary has been a tool of prayer to her well before it had any religious affiliation. In pagan times seeds or flowers were tied together to create points of honoring the seasons. These seeds and flowers were prayed upon in a circle formation representing the life, death, life cycle of all things. It is a potent tool of prayer and connection to her and throughout time, miracles have proven to take place in individual lives as well as the collective when those who are drawn to her love come together in prayer of the rosary.
The prayer of the rosary acts as a chant and holds so much healing potential for us. More on that later ;).
We will be spending time in the garden to honor, discuss, create and pray to the Divine Mother and share in the experience of whatever magic the container creates (because she always creates magic right alongside of us!)
What to Expect:
Guided meditation
Divine Feminine education
Group sharing circle & oracle card work
Group rosary prayer
Creative free-time
Community gathering
Private reflection journaling time
It must be said that this is not a religious experience, but a spiritual one. Serafina believes in a very large container with these things and her own direct experience with Mary and the rosary has been profound and she simply wishes to share it. You don’t need to have any experience to do this. We do not stick to a rigid format.
What to Bring:
An open heart and an intention
A journal, pens and any art supplies you want to work with. I will have some available for use for an additional donation request
A blanket or chair if you wish to sit on the grass
It can get hot there so if you want a hat, bring one!
When: Friday, June 26th @ 12:30pm-3:30pm (stay as long as you wish)
Where: Shrine Coffee, 544 W Cliff Dr, Santa Cruz, CA 95060 | We will meet in the coffee shop and then head out to the Mary statue in the garden
Cost: This is a donation-based event. Please donate what you can (recommended $25-45).
Venmo: @serafinaluz (1313)If you do not have a rosary, you can purchase on in the gift shop! You’re also welcome to attend and simply participate in the experience without the rosary to get a feel for it. The rosary itself acts as a tangible talisman for you to follow with the chanting of the prayer but it can still be done without it.
