Come and join our Gogo's Garden Apothecary spiritual family as we celebrate the African Goddess of the Seven Seas - Yemanja!
All life comes from the waters of the Divine Mother. Yemanja brings us blessings, healing, love and abundance. She cleanses our hearts, washes away our tears, and purifies our spirits when we go down to the ocean and give her offerings of flowers, sweet cakes and chants held in her honour.
Date: Sunday 23 February 2025
Time: 18:00-20:00
Venue: Strand Beach, Somerset West.
Fee: R50 pp (you will receive 1 Blessing Candle)
Contribution for Offerings - please select any of the below:
- A bunch of beautiful fresh flowers and/or herbs (from your garden or purchased in store) - please no plastic wrappings or elastic bindings!
- Yemanja's favourite colours are white and blue
- Coconut, pineapple, pears, coconut milk, honey, sweet melon, water melon, white wine, or champagne.
- Crystals or gemstones - white, clear, or blue
Please also bring:

A note of environmental respect:
A part of honouring the Ocean Mother is to ensure that no litter remains after the event! Also, only organic items will be offered to the sea - candles & other sacred items will be removed after the ceremony & taken home.
