Cacao | Sound | Reiki | Sacred Ritual | Community
Surreina, Liz, and Tracy invite you to step into the new year with intention, illumination, and a heart open wide. Join us in the Crystal Sanctuary for a transformative New Year ceremony designed to awaken your inner fire, clarify your path, and anchor the intentions that will guide you into 2026 — a year vibrating with profound spiritual potency. This immersive evening weaves sacred cacao medicine, crystalline wisdom, sound alchemy, and Reiki healing into a ceremonial journey meant to uplift, empower, and attune you to the energies of the year ahead.
✨ What This Ceremony Is
Fire & Light is a multi-layered ceremonial immersion honoring the turning of the year — a time when the veil between what has been and what is becoming opens, revealing new pathways of purpose, healing, and expansion.
It is a sanctuary of remembrance, renewal, and attunement where you are guided inward, upward, and forward — a place to shed the old, activate the new, and root your intentions in the deepest truth of who you are.
🌟 Who This Is For
This ceremony is ideal for you if:
You feel ready to begin the new year with clarity, grounded intention, and spiritual alignment
You desire a deep ceremonial reset to release outdated patterns and call in your next chapter
You are drawn to sound healing, cacao, crystals, Reiki, and sacred ritual
You crave community, connection, beauty, and shared transformation
You feel the intuitive pull to prepare for the powerful energies of 2026
You’re seeking a space to receive guidance, activate intentions, and embody your next evolution
Whether new to spiritual practice or seasoned in ceremony, this gathering will meet you exactly where you are and elevate you into where you are going.
🌟 Why This Ceremony Matters Now
The energies guiding 2026 invite us into a powerful new chapter — and this gathering is intentionally crafted to help you prepare for that threshold with clarity, courage, and conscious alignment.
2026: A Year of 10 — Embodied Mastery & New Beginnings ✨
In numerology, 2026 carries the frequency of 10, the number of wholeness, illumination, and embodied mastery. It represents both completion and new beginnings — the moment we step fully into our gifts, our leadership, and the radiant expression of who we are becoming. This is a year that asks you to shine, to rise, and to bring forth the wisdom you’ve cultivated.
Preparing for the Power of the Fire Horse Year 🔥
Although the Western New Year begins on January 1, the Chinese New Year does not arrive until February 17, meaning we are not yet inside the Fire Horse energy — we are preparing for it. This ceremony becomes a portal between worlds — a deliberate activation and attunement preparing your body, mind, and spirit to cross from the final shedding of the Wood Snake into the potent, fiery force of the Horse.
Completing the Wood Snake Year — The Final Shedding 🐍
Until mid-February, we remain in the last descent of the Wood Snake year, a time marked by deep introspection, shedding outdated patterns, releasing old identity layers, dissolving what has been outgrown. The Wood Snake invites us to loosen the final remnants of the past so we can emerge renewed. This ceremony creates space for that final shedding — clearing the inner field for your next becoming.
Stepping Toward the Fire Horse — Courage, Passion & Forward Momentum 🔥
The incoming Fire Horse brings boldness, leadership, creative fire, and unstoppable momentum. It calls us to act from the soul, to move with purpose, and to embody courage in everything we do.
By doing this inner work before the shift, you allow yourself to meet the Fire Horse energy with strength rather than overwhelm — aligned rather than reactive — empowered rather than unprepared.
