Natural Awakenings Bucks and Montgomery Counties PA

Awaken to Renewal at the Spring Equinox Mitote Retreat

Mar 03, 2026 12:04PM ● By Shae Marcus

From 3 p.m. on March 21 to 10 a.m. on March 22, Janet StraightArrow will guide an 18-hour Toltec mitote ceremony inspired by the teachings of Don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements. Designed to clear outdated patterns and stored emotional energy, the overnight experience supports expanded awareness through chanting, rest and dreamwork.

A mitote is a focused Toltec shamanic ceremony that moves through waking, sleeping and lucid dreaming. Participants rotate in chanting rounds while others rest in a circle around an indoor fire. This rhythm is intended to elevate energy, release illusion and invite insight through visionary states. The ceremony blends Toltec tradition with yogic chant, offering a structured space for renewal and spiritual awakening.

StraightArrow began her shamanic path in 1992 and apprenticed with Dona Bernadette, one of Ruiz’s first apprentices, training in Peru, Mexico and New Mexico. She now leads mitote ceremonies annually to support personal breakthrough and conscious rebirth.
