Yima Healing to host Shamanic Ceremony Set for ‘Open Portal’ Day of 2/20/22 in Putnam County

Mojan Javadi Clarke

On February 20, Yima Healing will host a shamanic ceremony, Rite of Passage, to mark the transition to 2022, “a massive year of opportunities for creating anew and releasing the past all at once.” The ceremony will be held at Yima Healing’s Putnam Valley wellness center, led by founder Mojan Javadi Clarke, a shamanic energy medicine practitioner and holistic coach.

“We are guided to align with the forces of the earth and sky through an open portal on 2/20/2022,” Clarke says. “On this very special day, we will hold a sacred ceremony for our brothers and sisters, including a shamanic journey to discover their own, unique gift to create beauty on Earth.”

The ceremony will take place from 2 to 6 p.m. (plan to arrive by 1:45 p.m.) and feature a shamanic journey and fire ceremony, with medicinal music by Colombian master musician Arkawa. Light food and refreshments will be provided. 

In the shamanic tradition, ritual is an integral part of celebrating moments of great significance, a way to mark the transition from one chapter of our lives to the next in a meaningful way, leaving unwanted baggage from the past behind, Clarke says. 

“After the unsettled and chaotic experience of the last two years, we invite you now, during this important year of balance, to release and be free so that you may journey forward in completeness,” she says. “In this powerful Q’ero ceremony, we give thanks to the lessons of the past, honor them and release them. In that process, we free ourselves to step into a new experience completely unfettered by unwanted psychological or spiritual remnants from a time that is now closed. We share this experience as a community to bear witness and hold space for one another. In a sense, we make a promise to both ourselves and the community to live authentically and to completely follow our path forward.” 

Cost: $177 (early-bird price) or $222 (full price). Location: Yima Healing, Putnam Valley, NY. To register, call 914.771.1694, email [email protected] or visit bit.ly/3fntwgf. For more info, visit YimaHealing.com
