Special Online Event

The Feminine Journey: From Depleted to Connected

Angelica is co-hosting an online workshop next week rooted in feminine connection. It’s for the woman who feels utterly depleted—mentally, physically, spiritually, or emotionally. Angelica feels deeply passionate about supporting women as they navigate their lives, especially when they’ve spent so much time wearing the masks they feel they’re supposed to wear. For the woman who is constantly giving to everyone else and may have forgotten what it feels like to give back to herself.

There is another way.

A way to let go of the “shoulds,” reconnect with who you truly are, and learn to love and care for yourself from a place that feels authentic and aligned.

This workshop is rooted in feminine nourishment and reconnecting with your true Self. Together, we’ll explore all things feminine and how we can cultivate a deeper connection with ourselves, our intuition, and the wisdom that already lives within us.

We’ll also be doing embodied work to help you recognize how your intuition and inner Self feel within your body. The more familiar we become with these sensations, the more we can learn to trust ourselves, listen to our inner wisdom, and feel grounded in the decisions we make.

This is an invitation to slow down, turn inward, and begin reconnecting with the woman beneath all the roles, expectations, and responsibilities you carry.

Reminder:
Nourish Cacao Retreat : Sedona, Arizona

Our Nourish Cacao Retreat is coming up in just a few weeks in beautiful, sunny Sedona, Arizona!

If you’ve been feeling the call to step away from the busyness of everyday life, nourish your feminine energy, and reconnect with yourself in a beautiful setting, we would absolutely love to have you join us.

Payment options are available! Please email Angelica at [email protected] for more information.

Nourish Cacao Retreat

You Know Your Magic

We are getting so close to our **Nourish Cacao Retreat in Sedona**, and I can already feel how special this experience is going to be.

There is something so beautiful about cacao and the way she invites us to remember.

To remember our innate power.
To reconnect with the magic that lives within us.
To come back home to ourselves.

So often, life asks us to focus on everyone and everything around us. This retreat is an opportunity to step away from the noise and **receive**.

To replenish your mind, body, heart, and spirit.

To slow down. To connect. To be nourished.

We have created such a beautiful and intentional experience for you. From nourishing meals and special dinners to creating your own amulet, connecting through cacao ceremony, mediumship and animal medicine readings, and so much more...

Every piece of this retreat has been thoughtfully cultivated to create space for you to reconnect with yourself and remember what truly matters.

If something inside of you has been whispering **yes**, we would love to have you join us. We currently have **3 spaces remaining**.

**The last day to join us is September 11.**

If you feel called to be part of this experience or have any questions, simply reach out to us at [[email protected]]

We would love to share this sacred time with you.

With love,
Angelica & Rimi

SOLAR ECLIPSE IN LEO - August 12, 2026

On August 12, 2026, the Sun and Moon align for a Solar Eclipse in Leo, bringing together a remarkable astronomical event and, from a metaphysical perspective, a powerful symbol of transformation, realignment and new beginnings.

THE ASTRONOMY

Astronomically, the August 12 eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse along its path of totality, which crosses regions including Greenland, Iceland and Spain.

Here in the Greater Chicago area, we will experience only a very slight Partial Solar Eclipse around 12:28 PM CDT

Only a very tiny portion of the Sun will be covered from our area, but the celestial alignment itself remains the same: the New Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, temporarily obscuring the Sun from locations within the eclipse path.

THE METAPHYSICAL ENERGY OF A SOLAR ECLIPSE

Metaphysically, eclipses have long been viewed as powerful thresholds of change, moments when the familiar is temporarily obscured, creating symbolic space for endings, revelations, transformation and unexpected new beginnings.

A Solar Eclipse occurs at a New Moon, traditionally associated with the beginning of a new lunar cycle. Eclipse symbolism intensifies this idea, representing not simply a new beginning, but a deeper energetic reset.

Revelation - What has remained hidden may begin to surface, bringing greater awareness to emotions, desires, relationships or patterns.

Release - Outgrown identities, habits and attachments may become more difficult to ignore, encouraging us to release what no longer supports our growth.

Transformation - Eclipse periods are often associated with turning points, transitions and changes that redirect our energy toward a different path.

Energetic Realignment - Areas of life that feel disconnected from our authentic selves may become more noticeable.

New Cycles - Solar eclipses symbolize the closing of one energetic chapter and the emergence of another.

Accelerated Change - What has been developing quietly beneath the surface may suddenly feel ready to move forward.

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE IN LEO

Leo adds another layer of meaning to this eclipse.

Ruled by the Sun, Leo is associated with our inner light, our identity, confidence, creativity, courage, heart and willingness to express who we truly are.

Because the Sun itself is temporarily obscured during a Solar Eclipse, the symbolism becomes especially powerful in Leo: our light disappears for a moment, not because it is gone, but because something is passing between us and our ability to see it.

Metaphysically, this can represent a period of rediscovering our own light.

Identity & Becoming - Releasing an older version of ourselves so something more authentic can emerge.

The darkness of an eclipse is temporary.

The Sun remains exactly where it has always been.

Perhaps that is one of the most powerful symbols of this Solar Eclipse:

Our light does not disappear simply because we cannot see it.

THE LION’S GATE PORTAL — 8/8

The Lion’s Gate is a powerful time to pause, listen within, and become intentional about the energy you are carrying forward.

Associated with the energy of 8/8, the Lion’s Gate invites us to explore themes of abundance, transformation, courage, personal power, and new beginnings.

LION’S GATE TIMELINE

In modern spiritual traditions, the Lion’s Gate is often observed as an energetic season rather than only a single day:

July 26 - Opening of the Lion’s Gate
A time to begin reflecting, clearing old energy, and becoming conscious of what you want to carry into the next chapter.

August 8 - 8/8 Peak of the Lion’s Gate
The symbolic high point of the portal. The number 8 is associated in numerology with abundance, empowerment, manifestation, balance, and infinite possibility.

August 12 - Integration & Closing
A time to ground your intentions, integrate what has surfaced, and begin turning insight into conscious action.

As the Lion’s Gate energy begins to integrate, ask yourself:

What am I ready to release?
What am I ready to receive?
Where am I being called to step into my power?
What would I create if I trusted myself more deeply?

Take a few quiet moments today. Breathe. Place your hands over your heart. Consider what you want to welcome into your life—not simply what you want to have, but how you want to feel and who you want to become.

Write down one intention and give it your energy.

Courage • Abundance • Transformation • Alignment • New Beginnings

You generally maintain a positive outlook, even during challenges. Stress occasionally clouds your perspective, but you have the resilience to find your way back to optimism.

Daily Reflection

Ask yourself these three questions each evening:

- What went well today?
- What am I grateful for?
- What is one positive thing I can carry into tomorrow?

Remember: Positivity isn't about ignoring life's challenges, it's about choosing where to place your attention. Small shifts in perspective can create lasting changes in how you experience your life.

Shift Your Focus. Change Your Energy.

Every day gives us opportunities to choose where we place our attention. While we can't always control what happens around us, we can choose how we respond.

The next time something doesn't go as planned, pause and ask yourself:

- What can I learn from this?
- What is still going well?
- What am I grateful for in this moment?

Gratitude doesn't ignore life's challenges, it transforms the energy with which we meet them. As we shift our focus from what is missing to what is present, we create space for greater peace, clarity, resilience, and abundance.

Today's Gratitude Practice:
Write down 3 things you are grateful for today. They don't have to be extraordinary. A kind word, a warm cup of tea, a deep breath, or a beautiful sunset can remind us that blessings are always present.

** Where attention goes, energy flows. Choose gratitude, and watch your perspective begin to change.
