Nectar
A gentle invitation
Taurus invites us to enjoy these Earthly pleasures and lap up the sweetness of the beauty blooming around and within us through the five senses. While Beltane celebrates the fucundant fertile potential of the year to come through delightful rituals that usher the magnetism needed for life to thrive. Together these existing energies can support a sensual, embodied relationship between ourself-inner beloved- and blooming sisterhood.
​
You are being asked to soften to the rhythm that allows for deep penetrating nourishment to seep into the thirsty places where the hustle and push of everyday life cannot quench.
Together we will celebrate & rejuvenate amongst the blooming orchards, sun glistened ponds and exquisite Temple space.
Lets unfurl through song, dance, creative expression and refreshing inner exploration.

Meet Lila (She/her)
Priestess of the Rose. Astrologist
Kundalini & Ecstatic dance guide
It truly lights me up to guide and support other women stepping into their medicine and embodied feminine leadership. Holding a loving space for coming home to oneself, to remember their unique essence and shine that into the world. Walking the path of awakening and transformation, so that they can feel more empowered and inspired to fully embrace and share their gifts with the world.
As a facilitator and mentor, I love to uplift, inspire and hold space for transformation through deep journeys that bring a nurturing and playful spirit to inspire others to connect with their own joy, passion and authentic selves. Weaving in ceremony into all my offerings as my devotion to the divine and desire to create safe and sacred spaces for self-healing and presence.
As a Priestess of the Goddess and the Lineage of the Rose, I am guided deeply through the wisdom of the Divine Mother, Mary Magdalene, Venus and the Sophia Christ Consciousness, devoted to the path of beauty and the way of love.
Deeply moved by the cycles of nature, of the cosmos and our innate inner rhythms that guide our lives. I feel so blessed to be able to share this path of ecstatic embodiment and joy and meet you here in the heart.
