Our journey since the Winter Solstice has been one of collective release, transitioning from the old paradigm and welcoming a new era of profound awakening. Now, the time has come to amplify our intentions, to connect deeply within, and to channel our collective dream toward nurturing peace on personal, community, and global levels.

Through ceremony, prayer, and the power of our united voices, we create a sacred space, a container of energy that holds and amplifies our shared vision for transformation and peace.

Organizers and Presenters: Robin & Michael Mastro

Additional Presenters: Laura Plumb and Kirsten Giacci

Location: Soul of Yoga Institute 162 S Rancho Santa Fe Rd Suite A-70, Encinitas

The Ceremony ~

We will be engaging in a powerful Vedic tradition, creating an altar designed to manifest peace. Representing all five elements—air, water, fire, earth, and space—our communal altar will be precisely aligned to the Cardinal Directions, creating a channel for Divine energy to flow through, aiding us in manifesting this global shift for humanity.

Participation:

• Please bring a Special Item with you: This is your personal, small, meaningful object, written prayer, or any memento that touches your heart. This item will be charged with our collective intentions and returned to you, continuing its work for peace on your home altar. For more information about creating altars in the Vedic tradition, read Altars of Power and Grace.*
• Three written words of intention: On a small, unlined piece of paper (the size of a post-it note) write three words using a pencil. These words should reflect the distillation of your heartfelt intentions. The significance of this process will be revealed when we gather.

Donations and Support ~

In alignment with our values and commitment to positive change, a significant portion of the event’s proceeds will be donated to Doctors Without Boarders, an organization dedicated to providing urgently needed humanitarian aid in moments of crisis and conflict. Their ability to respond quickly to medical humanitarian emergencies in hot spots around the world helps save lives.

Sliding Scale Donations ~

We offer a variety of contribution options to ensure accessibility: $5, $20, $30, $40, $50, $100. Choose the amount that resonates with you, and know that your contribution is a vital part of supporting both our event and the broader mission of Doctors Without Boarders.

Our Invitation to You ~

As we stand at the threshold of a New Year and a new era, your presence and energy are the most cherished contributions you can give to this sacred gathering. Together, as a united community, we have the power to create waves of change, fostering peace and transformation from within, and extending it out into the world. We hope you will join us at this heartfelt event.

With open hearts and anticipation for the magic we will create together,
