Gathering together to drink Cacao, Drum and Chant to honour the expansive energies of Summer. 💖

Cacao ( chocolate in it’s raw form ) is one of many beautiful Feminine Plant Spirit Medicines, that can help us move into a deeper understanding of the Wisdom, Beauty and Healing potential we carry within us.
Cacao has been used as a potent tool for inspiring unity and connectivity for thousands of years throughout Central and Southern America.
This Plant Sprit Medicine has become known as a ‘Heart Opener’ but there is far more to Cacao than that.

What to expect for this event -
* Cleansing of your energy field with a little Mugwort before entering the space
*Sitting in circle around a Sacred Altar
(Please bring something to place in the altar)
*Opening Sacred Space for the Ceremony
*Engaging in a beautiful practice to allow the Spirit of Cacao to move through different aspects of our being
*Anointing with Cacao
*Drinking Cacao
*Using our Sacred Breath we will blow our personal intentions for the expansive summer months into various flower petals and place these into a central ‘Intention ‘ Bowl ( after the ceremony, I will take these petals and release them to a powerful waterfall)
Collectively we will create a ‘Seque’ (an energy thread) from our Altar space to an island in the centre of Lake Windermere.
This will help us send a flow of loving vibrations to that island, which will then expand out through all the Waters of the Lake
Drumming and chanting various Medicine Songs to honour the expansive energies of - Summer, our Spiritual Hearts and our Sacred Breath
We will honour each person present with their own name in a chant, which is my own personal adaptation from a Medicine Song from the Shipibo tribes in Peru
We will close this circle will a lovely collective Mantra which sends Love to and through all the hearts of everyone present and also sends a wave of Love deep into the Earth.
This will be an upbeat Cacao Ceremony and Drum Circle which will leave you feeling energised and empowered
There are some contraindications to drinking ceremonial Cacao, if you are on heart medication or anti depressant medication it can cause issues for you, so to that end, I will be making up a batch of a very small dosage so that everyone will be able to have a wee drink it if it calls. The smaller dosage will not detract from still having a beautiful experience with this Feminine Plant Spirit Medicine.
( it's also absolutely fine if you choose not to drink any Cacao)
This is a 2 and half hour ceremony . Usually I would explain a little bit about Cacao prior to a ceremony, but on this occasion I will send out details to those who book on, so that on the day, we can get straight into proceedings.
The venue is a large hall space in Windermere and I have 11 spare drums and some rattles.
There is no number restriction on this group, it’s a case of the more the merrier for this one. Please get in touch if this calls.
Many thanks
