Bloom Temple Mystery School Presents
The Medicine of Cycles
A SANCTUARY FOR SENSITIVE SOULS
IN TIMES OF UPHEAVAL
MARCH 13-15, 2026
When the World Feels Like Too Much
There are moments in history when the pace of change accelerates faster than the human nervous system can easily metabolize.
Many sensitive, perceptive people feel this deeply,
as exhaustion, grief, vigilance, or as quiet overwhelm by the state of the world.
The Medicine of Cycles is a gentle, in-person sanctuary created for those moments.
This retreat offers a space to slow down, return to presence, and remember how to live from an inner center that remains steady even as outer conditions shift.
The Call
You may be feeling it already.
A sense that something old is ending, yet the next way of living has not fully revealed itself…
A fatigue that comes not from doing too much, but from being constantly attuned to what is happening around you.
A longing for refuge — not to escape the world, but to meet it with greater steadiness, clarity, and care.
The Medicine of Cycles is an invitation to step out of urgency and into rhythm. To remember that human beings are not meant to live in a constant state of activation. To reconnect with the natural cycles of rest, reflection, renewal, and wise action that have guided resilient cultures for millennia.
This retreat is for those who know, intuitively, that the medicine for these times is not more effort, but deeper presence.
Presence Is the Best Medicine
The Promise
This retreat will not ask you to harden, transcend, or push through.
Instead, you will learn how to regulate your nervous system in the midst of uncertainty. You will be guided through embodied practices that restore steadiness, widen your capacity to feel without flooding, and reconnect you to a clear inner center.
Over the course of three days, you will:
Experience guided practices that settle hyper-vigilance and quiet internal noise
Learn a simple, teachable framework for witnessing without becoming overwhelmed
Reconnect with natural cycles of rest, action, reflection, and renewal
Clarify what is yours to carry — and what is not
Strengthen your ability to remain present in conversations and relationships without collapsing or escalating
Leave with practical tools you can use at home, in your work, and in times of collective intensity
You will leave more able to meet the world in a steady place.

*full address provided after registration
This weekend unfolds as a guided journey rather than a series of lectures.
From the moment you enter the space, the pace slows. The nervous system begins to soften. Through carefully held ceremony, seasonal wisdom, embodied reflection, and structured witnessing practices, you will be invited to orient yourself honestly within the times we are living.
We begin by naming the strain, not to amplify it, but to map it. There is relief in accurate orientation. When we stop pretending it is still spring while standing in winter, something in the body settles.
Throughout the weekend, you will experience:
Guided journaling and reflective inquiry
Nervous-system-informed witnessing in pairs and small groups
Gentle embodiment practices including movement, breath, scent, and ritual
Structured exercises designed to clarify hidden agreements and outdated survival strategies
Practices of restraint and containment that build real capacity instead of emotional flooding
The experience is intentionally paced. There is space to feel, space to metabolize, and space to integrate. Silence is welcomed. Presence is prioritized over performance.
You will not be asked to process endlessly or to fix yourself. You will be invited to practice staying — with yourself, with others, and with the moment — in ways that build strength without force.
By the end of the weekend, many participants notice something subtle but profound:
their internal world feels less chaotic, their energy more conserved, and their center easier to access.
This is what it means to receive the medicine of cycles.
The Retreat Experience:
The Perfect Participants
This path is for you if you are:
You have been feeling the weight of the world in your body. A low-grade vigilance, fatigue, or emotional saturation that does not fully go away.
You notice that what used to soothe you no longer works in the same way, and you are ready for practices that meet the moment you are actually in.
You care deeply about people, about justice, about truth, and you are tired of feeling either overwhelmed or hardened.
You want to learn how to stay present without absorbing everything, how to witness without collapsing, and how to conserve your energy without withdrawing from life.
You are ready to stop pretending it is still spring when the season has clearly shifted, and to live in alignment with where you truly are.
You long for a space where you do not have to perform resilience. A place where steadiness can grow naturally through rhythm, honesty, and shared humanity.

Dr. Rima Bonario is a modern-day Priestess, Dream Weaver, and Soul-Coach devoted to guiding women on the path of sacred feminine sovereignty. As the founder of Bloom Temple and the Bloom Temple Online Mystery School, she has created a sanctuary—both in-person and virtual—where seekers, healers, and visionary leaders gather to awaken their deepest truths, reclaim their sacred power, and embody the fullness of their divine essence.
An initiate into the Priestess mysteries and a long-time practitioner of temple arts, Rima is known for her ability to blend myth, archetype, ritual, and energetic attunement into alchemical experiences that dissolve old patterns, awaken innate gifts, and anchor a woman in her highest expression.

Through her private coaching, immersive courses, sacred retreats, and temple ceremonies, Rima works with priestesses, healers, leaders, and mystics ready to step into their fullest power.
Whether leading intimate soul councils, guiding pilgrimages to sacred sites, or holding the sacred container of Bloom Temple, Rima’s work is a portal into a new way of being—one where sovereignty is not only embodied but celebrated as a way of life.
FAQs
Do I need to have oils to participate?
No—oils are optional. If you choose to work with oils, I recommend Galbanum, Bay Laurel and Rosa Mystica. Or you can purchase the limited time Snake Medicine Blend with all three.
What about crystals?
Crystals are also optional. I recommend Labradorite, Amathyst, and Rose Quartz. The crystals and oils are supportive allies, not requirements. You may use your own sacred tools or simply bring your presence.
What if I’m not tech-savvy?
We keep things simple. All you need is a device with internet access and a Zoom link (which we provide). Replays are emailed directly to you, so you can watch on your own schedule.
Do I have to attend all the live calls?
No. While joining live allows you to receive the energy in real time, all calls will be recorded and sent to you within 48 hours. You can complete the work at your own pace, and the practices are effective whenever you engage with them.
How much time will this take?
Calls are 75 minutes, with optional practices you can do between sessions. You can spend as little as 15 minutes a week practicing on your own. The pace is yours to choose.
How is this different from other spiritual courses?
This is not a course to be consumed—it is a path to be lived. The serpent moves slowly and surely, awakening wisdom through your lived experience. Be ready for surprises!
Step Into the Circle
The serpent is stirring.
