ABOUT
Sesen is the Ancient Egyptian name for the Blue Lotus. It represents the power of the sun, creation, rebirth and regeneration.
MISSION
To purify the waters of the heart and the Earth through the essence of Sesen.
VISION
To co-create a global field of purification through ceremonies, workshops, retreats, and regeneration projects, in alliance with ancestral wisdom keepers, restoring balance and honoring the planet’s feminine current.
WHAT
Sesen in its essence is an experience to be had. Through presence with the Divine Feminine current, we create spaces to connect with Source light to receive healing, and to access information from higher dimensions.
The Sesen Experience is an immersive and artistically curated experience to unite with Source. Our containers are created using ritual, meditation, channelled vocals, soundscapes, elemental connection, offerings, plant wisdom, beauty, conscious relating and somatic movement. No one experience is the same, as every subtle energy such as each person present, and the transit of the stars will inevitably shift the entire experience.
We create containers that allow you to experience the most subtle of energies, awakening an awareness that will inevitably allow you to see things that will change the way you live your life.
BLUE LOTUS : LIVING PROPHECY
The Blue Lotus (Nymphaea Caerulea) belongs to the family of the oldest living flower on Earth and one of humanity’s most enduring symbols of renewal. In Ancient Kemet, it was called Sešen, meaning Blue Lotus. Each dawn it rose from the primordial waters to align with the sun and bridge Earths connection with Sirius, the star of Auset, and became the living emblem of resurrection, eternal life, and divine consciousness.
Ancient prophecy spoke of the Blue Lotus returning to Earth as a sign of restored balance and harmony. At Sesen Temple, we are walking this prophecy into form. Since 2022, we have worked alongside the Nubian community on Heissa Island, Aswan, where the Lotus was first ceremonially planted back into the Nile by The Together Temple at Blue Lotus Ecolodge. rom there, our mission has expanded: to the volcanic waters of the Sesen Sanctuary on Ometepe Island, Nicaragua, and to a family-run farm in Sri Lanka that sustains our ethical supply of Lotus offerings.
The Blue Lotus is a profound purifier. Spiritually, it opens the heart, deepens meditation, and restores connection with ancestral memory. Physically, it calms the nervous system, improves sleep, and relieves stress. Clinical research affirms its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Even its cultivation purifies waterways and restores ecosystems, reflecting its essence as a healer both inside and out.
Our path is not walked alone. We stand in alliance with fellow carriers—such as Illup the Lotus Alchemist, Enki in Australia, and Inanna Rose in Bali—tending a living network of Lotus guardianship across the world. Together, we fulfill the prophecy of its return.
Our mission has been blessed by wisdom keepers, and our council includes—the Nubians of Aswan, the Q’ero of the Andes, and the Kogi of the Sierra Nevada—affirming the role of the Blue Lotus in Earth’s greater healing.
