Lion's Gate Primal Activation

Each year on August 8th, the cosmic alignment of the star Sirius, the Sun in Leo, and the Earth opens a powerful energetic gateway—known as the Lion’s Gate Portal. This is a time of amplified manifestation, spiritual awakening, and authentic self-expression. The heart of Leo season pulses with solar radiance, asking us to step boldly into who we truly are.

Join facilitators Eden Bauer and Rylee Hedberg for an embodied ceremonial journey designed to awaken your inner lion. This experience blends plant medicine, movement, sound, breath, ritual, and community connection to ignite your personal power. This gathering is for all genders.

We’ll begin with a Lion’s Mane mushroom refresher—a nourishing tonic made with filtered water, raw honey, lemon, ginger, and potent Lion’s Mane mushroom powder. Lion’s Mane is revered for its ability to support nervous system health, enhance focus, boost memory, and increase mind-body awareness—a perfect ally for opening the inner portals of consciousness.

Next, Eden will guide a brief but activating solar plexus chakra yoga flow, incorporating cat and cow poses and sphinx pose to awaken the seat of our personal power. Located just above the navel, the solar plexus chakra (Manipura) governs confidence, willpower, vitality, and self-worth. It is deeply connected to the solar energy of Leo and the radiant frequency of the Lion’s Gate.

To help balance the intensity of this fiery gateway, each participant will receive a drop of peppermint essential oil to rub into the palms and inhale deeply—a cooling breath ritual to refresh the senses and ground the body before entering the deeper phases of the experience.

Rylee will then guide you into a breathwork and drumming journey, weaving together lion’s breath, kapalabhati pranayama, and box breathing. Live primal drumming will support you in accessing your inner spirit animal—awakening instinctual memory and reclaiming the wild, embodied truth within you. You’ll be invited to move, sound, and express as your animal comes alive through you.

We will complete the evening in community and stillness, as Eden offers a grounding sound healing ceremony with crystal and brass singing bowls, rainstick, ocean drum, and chimes to soothe and recalibrate your energy field. We’ll close the circle with time for reflection, integration, and sharing.
