Festival Minokan 2024: Ann Tounnen Nan Matris

Ann Tounnen Nan Matris is a return back to the womb, a connection to your roots, and a rejuvenation of self from within. In this ceremony we reencounter our authentic self and shed the false versions of self. Matris translates to ‘matrix’ or ‘womb,’ which determines the specific energies that make us unique beings. Everyone comes from the womb, which creates both masculine and feminine beings. Today, we focus on the feminine energy, in its many dimensions. As you recognize the natal dimensions in which you vibrate, you will be guided by the ancestors in your daily challenges.
