2025 Opening Ceremony: Chinese New Year + New Moon Sacred Dance Ceremony

Brisbane's New Year dance event is here!

The Chinese New Year occurring on Feb 1st is an ancient celebration anchoring the beginning of a lunisolar New Year - 2025 welcomes in the year of the Snake! It's a time for shedding the old & making way for all that is new, good & fresh for the year ahead.

The Chinese NY coincides with the 'creation' energy of the New Moon, amplifying our intentions, structure & focus for the coming 12 months. Let's continue in the tradition of our ancestors, connecting deeply with ourselves & community, as we powerfully welcome 2025 in, in style 💫

Join us for this epic 5.5 hour workshop as we sit in deep ceremony in connection with Pachamama, working with transformational shamanic & somatic processes to set limitations free, expanding into the truth of our most quantum, authentic & loving selves. This special journey will focus on releasing the past & laying a strong foundation for all you'd like to create for an aligned 2025. Ecstatic dance here we come!

With everything unfolding currently on a global level, it is an important time to both connect with our body & to cleanse our emotional, energetic and metaphysical fields, connecting deeply with Self & community. And especially - to remember Who We Really Are!

✨ IT’S TIME TO SHINE ✨

We will unite with the Elixir of the Gods plant medicine Cacao, to heal, transform and connect with our true nature - our blissful essence - in this safe, loving, and transformational sacred ceremony.

Miracles occur when we ground our prayers into living form through dance - time and again I have seen magic unfold when we commit to the life of our dreams.

As 1 man beautifully put it: "These ceremonies are life-changing".

OUR EVENING TOGETHER INCLUDES:
- Flower essence grounding ritual
- Andean shamanic Cacao Ceremony (including somatic therapy and touch to unwind & connect) - full Ceremonial dose

Her ability to lead an experiential process along with her capacity to be attentive to all participant needs is outstanding. Her work is truly transformational - from her Cacao Ceremony, I discovered a whole new part of myself that has stuck with me two years on.

I would recommend Petra and her work to anybody that is ready to address & directly tackle any potential limitations within themselves along with anybody looking to unleash their full potential". Sacha Damiano, Neuro-Coach & Therapist

"I had been on the cusp of attending many a Cacao Ceremony over the years and unable to attend due to fear, uncertainty or circumstance - and yet all of a sudden I found myself welcomed with literal open arms from Petra, and throughout the evening, unable to contemplate a future without this medicine and movement in my life! Thank you to everyone involved for creating such a luminous and protective space for us all to unravel into." Lauren Ferguson

"The depth of how deep I can go depends on the strength & safety of the container. You do that incredibly well, Petra. The reverence you show for this work, the power & magic it holds, creates trust for the ones who journey it with you. I went on a beautifully balanced ride of bliss, ecstasy, tears, power.... sooo much was available. Thank you!" Sandra Treydte - Sound Healer

I felt totally held, nourished and respected. The evening was deeply transformational for me, reaching all the nooks & crannies." Daniel Bailey

"I have been to two Cacao Ceremonies now and I love it! I haven’t felt this much joy and love and excitement for something in a very long time, if not ever! The process of movement through dance is truly magical and I feel so enlivened and inspired afterward. This is an experience that I want to integrate into my life from this one to the next." Rose Pini

CACAO INFO:
Cacao has been used for centuries in different cultures as a tool to facilitate a reflective & meditative experience that focuses on the heart-space.

Due to the active medicinal properties of Cacao, it is possible to experience a state of heightened awareness, which opens us to deeper-stored emotional densities that are ready to be seen, felt & released.

The euphoria-inducing properties of Cacao help us to connect deeply to the love, & ultimate truth, that sits inside our hearts.

When we sit with Cacao with the intention to open to ourselves & our own vulnerability, Cacao has the potential to create a profound yet gentle inner experience of heart transformation. To help activate this opening, I have sourced the highest Ceremonial-grade Guatemalan Cacao possible.

** Please note: If you are currently being treated for depression, Cacao may not be the medicine for you. The tryptophan and monoamine oxidase inhibitors of the Cacao are a bad mix with anti-depressant medicine. Can cause severe migraine, or worse. Please get in contact with me to discuss if this is a consideration for you.
