Awakening the Rose

Awakening the Rose is an in-person 4-week series created with its foundation in the sacred.

This space has been cultivated for individuals who are ready to step into this transformational experience as a way to prioritize their relationship to self and connect deeper with their feminine essence.

This space is one that is intentionally created in love and light that acts as the foundation for transformation, a space to learn, release, reflect and re-align to your true essence.

Awakening the Rose will focus on how to be in an authentic relationship with yourself first within the structure of our weekly themes. As we honour our own boundaries and live in alignment to our truth there is a ripple outwards that is felt in all areas of our life.

We will gather once a week live for 4-weeks and offer additional integration support.

Our weekly themes include:

Anchoring into your Core Values
Grounding into Self Love and your Feminine Nature
Identifying and Honouring your Energetic Boundaries
Connecting to your Sensuality as your Lifestyle

Each week is a ceremony. We will share information related to the theme. This will include various techniques and activities to connect with yourself. Including learning how to ground, guided meditations, teachings on setting energetic boundaries, personalized and group energy clearing, independent reflection and processing, a Conscious Connected Breathwork journey and more.

We will be providing resources each week as well as an additional gift at the end of the series.

Why the Rose?

The rose is a symbol of the feminine, of love and beauty.

It is one of the highest vibrations on the planet.

It mirrors to us the phase we go through in our lives.

From bud, to bloom, to its petals returning back to the earth.

Each phase often includes a time of transition followed by a bloom.

Times of transitions are when we are being asked to make changes. Even in the moments when the changes feel uprooting and uncomfortable, often times that is necessary to create the space in preparation for an even richer life.

Life is cyclical and the bloom will not last forever.

It is about learning to honour all the seasons of your life and trusting the preparation for your next bloom.

Awakening the Rose supports you in the preparation for the many seasons of your life; teaching you tools and techniques to support you in times of transition and in all the spaces in between.

This workshops has been created to support women in remembering their feminine essence, their sensuality, their power and so much more.

The rose symbolizes the unfolding of ourselves into our full bloom. And this workshop offers any women the opportunity to step into their own brilliance and spiritual mastery.

A note from Raya

I am passionate about supporting individuals in their connection to all aspects of their wellness - mind, body, emotions and spirit.

Having worked as a conventional physiotherapist for over a decade, I noticed observed the interconnection of how we feel and how our experiences impact our physical bodies and how we live our life.

Lasting change is possible when we learn to better understand our natural rhythms, how our body communicates with us and when we honour ourselves with self-care practices.

A note from Robyn

I realized early on one of my gifts is holding space for others. When they are in this relaxed sacred space, they would allow the healing energy to flow through their bodies. It was truly an amazing experience for me and for them. Eventually, I built and ran a wellness centre called Full Bloom Farm in Langley BC with lavender fields and herbal gardens. Here I created a powerful sacred space where people would come to quiet themselves in a serene setting and connect deeply to themselves.

After nine years of running the centre, I was faced once again with having to let go and surrender to the unknown. With this new shift, I allowed myself to explore ME. I spent a few years travelling, studying and learning from gurus and shamans. I called my journey "My Grand Adventure: My Love Affair With Myself.”

With all the knowledge I have gathered, it is my honour to support you to come into peace and balance and move to the next level of your spiritual being.
