From shadow to light - together we rise
The cleansing of Auralis is a healing ritual for people who want to release negative energy and find inner peace. This service helps people purify their body and mind from fear, sadness, and outside elements that upset their inner balance.
Cleansing is deeply rooted in Auralis culture. We believe that negative thoughts and emotions create “dust of self-doubt,” which blocks the connection between the soul and the entrance to heaven. Thanks to this ritual, people free themselves from this dust and reconnect with their pure spiritual energy.
There are three types of cleansing:
Purification of the young: for those entering adulthood.
Purification of the elders: to boost their spiritual memory.
Full moon purification: a rare and more intense version during the full moon.
Price:
In Auralis, we don’t use money. The residents of Auralis don't believe in capitalism, but believe in a well-balanced system of both giving and receiving.
When someone requests a purification, they repay through their profession. For example, a farmer might offer a part of their harvest. This creates a circle of trade, where each person gives what they can and takes what they need. It's not about price, but about community, balance, and gratitude.
Place:
The cleansing ritual takes place in sacred temples built near mountains, rivers, or valleys, always under clear, open skies. The setting is carefully chosen so that the moonlight can reflect in a special bowl of water, an essential element of the ceremony. While most rituals are performed in these grand temples, some practitioners travel to smaller towns to offer shortened versions for those who live far from such sacred sites.
Each citizen of Auralis is expected to participate in a cleansing at least once in their lifetime as a part of their spiritual development.
Taste the spirit of Auralis’s rivers.
Auralis's signature dish is their fried koi fish. The fish symbolizes strength, peace, and a connection with the water, which is very important to the locals. There are also many rivers in the country, making it easy to find.
The fish is prepared simply, so that the natural flavour is not lost. It's fried in butter or oil and finished with herbs from the riverbanks. The dish is further completed by combining it with rice or vegetables.
Price:
In Auralis, the locals do not use money, but exchange value. This means that if people want a certain product, they have to give something else in exchange. For example, a basket of vegetables or rice for one fried koi. Everyone in society provides a product, so people know who to go to for what they need.
Place:
The fishermen catch the koi in the clear rivers of Auralis. They then trade their catch directly with families. There are no middlemen involved.
The exchange often takes place along the riverbanks. People gather there in the morning to exchange their goods for something else they need. There are also market days where fishermen set up stalls. In addition, there are families who prepare fried koi and offer it to people who are unable to cook for themselves.
We offer a detox drink consisting of ginger, lemon, carrot, turmeric, and various herbs from the mountains of Auralis. The drink is blessed during a short ritual performed by one of the community leaders. This ritual ensures that the drink removes all toxins from your body. Because it is the women of Auralis who prepare the rituals, they are also the only ones who make the drink.
To minimize our impact on nature, it is only sold if you bring your own glass bottle.
Price:
We do not believe in a capitalist society that revolves solely around profit and self-interest. Instead of paying with money, you exchange the drink for something related to your own profession or activity. For example, if you are a farmer and want to purchase a bottle, you are expected to give something from your harvest in exchange. If you are a housewife, for example, you can pay with a homemade dish, item of clothing, or another skill you possess. This is always done in consultation with the salesperson. We trust that our people will treat each other fairly.
Place :
The women who make and sell this brew stand in the square of their own town every Sunday. They must set up their own stalls. They can do this once they have received approval from the leaders of their own community. They then receive a permit, which they display prominently on their stall. This lets people know that the drink has indeed been blessed.
