~ Tea Ceremony ~
with Baelyn

Tea is a beautiful way to come together and share space, presence, and heartfelt intention.

Each morning we will begin our day in Tea Ceremony,

as an awakening meditation to nourish, ground, and clear space for the rest of the days work.

Cha Dao "The Way of Tea" is a practice that comes from ancient Chinese lineage. It has been used since its discovery by the Daoists and Sages as a form of medicine and a way to cultivate awakened presence, sustaining long states of meditation. Tea is a plant teacher, a spirit of Nature, manifested through this Leaf and awakened by hot water. Used in ceremony, it is a dance between the elements, a sensory exploration of presence, where everything is connected by space. Tea meets us exactly where we are and gives exactly what is needed. She is a graceful, strong, compassionate teacher. She shows us a doorway, opens it, and gives one the choice to enter wherever one feels comfortable. Every ceremony is completely unique unto itself and deeply moving.

Additional Experiences & Teachings

Whale Womb Sound Medicine Journey

One of the evenings, Abigail will guide us on an oceanic sound medicine journey with the whale songs, bringing through the voice and frequency of the whale tribes. These whale songs have been known to move tides of tears within, awaken ancient soul memories, and bridge a connection to the otherworldly realm of the whales. They also deeply support the womb and heart space, like a refreshing wave of cleansing, and bringing an expansion of energy and connection. This will be an opportunity for you to receive and commune with the whales.

Fire Ritual & Song Sharing

We will share in songs and drumming together around a sacred fire. We will have a ritual of release and purification. Song sharing and prayer speaking for all will be welcome as well. Utilizing the sacred energy of the fire and our group to support our unique process, and to send out our prayers and love out into the collective and to God. You are welcome to bring your own instruments and song if you have any to share.

Land Connection Time

We will be staying right on gorgeous and wild desert land. We will have spaciousness for intentional time connecting with the land and mountains. To commune with the magic and medicine of the place we will be staying and learning. As well as space to make offerings and give back to the land that is holding us.

Daily Movement Practices

Each day we will offer a guided movement practice. This will range from intuitive dance to qi gong. This is an opportunity to ground deeper into your body each day, and will support us to keep our energy flowing throughout our time together.

~ The Temple ~

Tucked away and nestled just north of central Taos, NM is the House of Serpents, a home and temple curated and stewarded by Baelyn Elspeth. Held by the Sangre de Cristo mountains and Pueblo lands, it has received its coined name due to the gentle presence of snake medicine around the land. It is a space to hold community, local and from far and wide, for ceremony and ritual offerings. With a majestic view and backdrop of “Pueblo Peak”, this land is home to an array of wildlife and potent energy, a place where our prayers are amplified by the vastness of the sky and anchored by the medicine of the mountain. The House is a space for prayer and communion, tea and stillness, ritual and practice. There are select offerings hosted here throughout the year in collaboration with likeminded practitioners from our ever growing worldwide community.

She has sat in countless circles teaching self - breast massage, and hearing women's stories of their journey with their breasts.

It was through this hands-on experience, and the privilege of hearing from so many women's personal experiences that she deepened in this field of breast care, honed her skills, and opened to see just how much is going on in our breasts!

The midwives, healers and medicine women across time and culture who worked in the realms of the female body knew these wisdom ways of nourishment and care for the breasts.

It is her great honor to share this medicine with other women, and to support these innate practices of hands-on care to be remembered and revitalized.

The deep need for Breast Care...

In this modern day, most women walk around disconnected from their breasts. The breasts are often neglected, stuffed away in bras, and only receive attention during sex or breast feeding.

All the while, issues with the breasts have become a norm that many women struggle with.

Breast pain, breast tenderness, cysts, challenges breastfeeding, hardened tissue, congested lymph nodes, heaviness in the breasts, and unidentified lumps have all become commonplace within the realm of the breasts.

And there are not many helpful answers and solutions out there. Actual breast care and education barely exists in the modern field of health and wellness! In the mainstream medical world, often there are only extreme solutions, like surgery, for imbalances that are presenting.

I believe this epidemic of breast issues, and even of breast cancer, is partly due to our lack of touch, care, and communication with our breasts. As well as our lack of education of HOW to care for our breasts in a way that supports their long term health.

From my experience massaging hundreds of women’s breasts, I know that this can be one of the most tender and under-cared for areas of the body. Often our breasts are not getting any care, yet have a lot going on and are needing it deeply.

The breasts and whole chest area is actually a POWERHOUSE center of our bodies. It is where some of the most concentration of our lymph rivers are found, playing a massive role in our overall health and vitality. It is where mother's produce milk that nourishes a little baby into form.

Not to mention the breasts sit over our precious feeling hearts ♡

Keeping these rivers clear, nourished and flowing is essential for optimal health, to be able to breast feed our babies, to prevent dis-ease and be embodied in our intuitive feminine channel.

The kind of breast massage I teach in this training is incredibly supportive at addressing the wide variety of issues that women experience in their breasts. Including breast pain & tenderness, cysts, congested lymph nodes, congested breasts, mastitis, issues breastfeeding, fibrocystic breast tissue, scar tissue, heaviness in the breasts, muscle tension and constriction in the chest, a suspicious lump, a cancer diagnosis.

The foundation of this kind of Breast Massage is approaching the tissues with an Ayurvedic elemental lens. And utilizing the intelligent technology of our hands to sense what is going on in the tissues. This allows lumps and issues to be identified and worked with. Then applying various techniques to support balance and prevent further dis-ease.

In this breast massage, we focus on moving, cleansing and nourishing the lymph in the breast & chest area. Sometimes we can go deep into clearing and creating change through dissolving blockages, moving congestion, softening scar tissue, draining cysts, and moving stuck pain.

This can also be a more gentle experience, of slowly opening the more channels of flow and offering nourishment to this area. It is ancient women's work to tend to each other's bodies in this way and hold space for all that is processed through our heart centers.

With this kind of breast massage, we can also map the terrain of the breast tissue, so one can have a sense of what is actually going on in their breasts. This can be crucial to identify if there are imbalances that need tending, and also for someone to feel and become familiar with what their ‘normal’ is. We can offer tools and take home practices so a woman can continue to support her breast health and nourishment.

Our breasts are calling for this level of deeper tending and care.

It is such a crucial piece of supporting our feminine flow,

and full body health.

I am grateful to pass on this wisdom in the prayer that more women’s breasts and hearts receive the care and nourishment they need to stay healthy and flowing.
