LANA DEL REY : SAMHAIN Themed ECSTATIC DANCE & CACAO Ceremony!

The Sacred Bliss is offering a NEW kind of ecstatic dance this SAMHAIN!!

Feel Free to DRESS UP as your DARK FEMININE / WITCH ESSENCE!

Represent your MAGICKal side... as we dive deep into the dark feminine tantric WITCH ESSENCE!

As October turns to November, thousands of Witches, Wiccans, Druids, and other Pagans across America, Canada, Europe, and elsewhere observe the sacred time of Samhain. Samhain is a festival of the Dead. Meaning "Summer's End" and pronounced saah-win or saa-ween, Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest and the start of the coldest half of the year. For many witches, Samhain also is the beginning of the spiritual new year.

All themed ecstatic dances feature a well-known artists music that invokes emotion, vibrancy and aliveness!

• October 24h we will be taking you on a Shamanic journey into the DARK FEMININE WISDOM to prepare you for the vortex that is The Lana Del Rey Ecstatic Dance!

• The entire event will be dedicated to Mother Witch's music!! With orchestras, intense beats, remixes, & emotional flow we will vibe to Lana's voice and poetry to crack our hearts open back into the wild wilderness of the soul.

• We will begin with Ananda guiding you into the Tantric Dark Feminine Wisdom through Breathwork and Tantric Goddess Movement.

• We will embrace the WOUNDED Feminine and the parts of ourselves we have yet to accept and even adore. We will be asking our ancestors and the wisdom of the DIVINE to help guide this session we dive deep together.

Samhain marks the Celtic New Year, the end of summer, and the end of the harvest season. It also signals the beginning of winter, which is associated with death. On this day, the Celts believe the veil between the living and the dead is especially thin.

So many of these songs have cracked so many people wide open and we want to offer some of the nostalgic beauty that comes with dancing to your favourite music again:

• Lana De Rey weaves together transcended poetry that speaks straight from Source while opening a channel to intense and emotional beats that will take you to different worlds with each album.

@wildwitchmama will open the event with a COSMIC ASTROLOGY UPDATE that will lead us all into an ecstatic vortex of awakening into the Dark Feminine archetypes!

🍓It’s time to strip down our emotional barriers & lean into the wildness of releasing our cares of attachment to fear! Let’s Invoke the Love!

A nanda will be putting together a powerful set based on the WOUNDED DARK FEMININE Essence:

WHAT IS A CACAO CEREMONY, AND WHEN DO PEOPLE SEEK THIS MEDICINE OUT?

A cacao ceremony is an opportunity to connect to yourself and open your heart. Because of cacao’s ability to increase your connection to your inner self and your heart chakra, it aids in any transformational shift you are working towards, whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of who you are, release old patterns and traumas, or move into a more self-confident space. Whatever your path, the intention is yours to set, and the cacao allows you to the insight and awareness to move towards that goal.

HOW IS THE CACAO SOURCED AND PREPARED? WHAT IS A CEREMONIAL DOSE?

A ceremonial dose is around 1 – 2 oz of cacao, mixed with water into a drink. Traditionally cacao was served with chilli and honey, but I have sometimes combined it with other herbs or super foods to assist a particular journey.

🌹WHAT IS THE IMMEDIATE PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECT?

One of the main active ingredients that we experience in our physiology during ceremony is Theobromine. Theo-broma literally translates as God-Food, and potentiates the release of dopamine, the ‘pleasure’ hormone. This, alongside phenethylamine, which is known to help relieve stress and depression and which is released in the body during emotional euphoria, create heightened sensation and empathy. Alongside these, the high amount of nutrients in the cacao support and nourish the body, whilst also inducing a detoxifying effect on the liver and kidneys.

AND THE EMOTIONAL IMPACT?

Due to the euphoria inducing ingredients, the emotional impact can be profound. Everything feels heightened within the physical and emotional body, including your awareness to your deepest sense of self and to your heart. The experience of love and empathy, particularly for yourself, can literally feel as if your heart is opening like a flower. With this, the body can become flooded with the many emotions stored in the heart, some of which can be painful. It is not always an easy experience, and I have seen many tears shed as people peel away old layers of hurt. But as the cacao facilitates a deep sense of self-love, tears are always followed by smiles of deep gratitude. In other moments, the sheer ecstasy felt from the cacao can be described as nothing other than a divine experience.

HOW HAVE YOU SEEN PEOPLE’S LIVES CHANGE AS A RESULT OF WORKING WITH CACAO?

I am continually amazed by the transformational aspect of working with cacao, and there have been many emails and phone calls to tell me that since the cacao ceremony, ‘everything has changed’. I think cacao gives you the space to enter into a place of deep reflection and self communion. It allows you access to the subconscious to reveal and heal the deepest aspects of yourself. Especially when used in a ceremonial and intentional way, cacao gives you an opportunity to move towards the fullest expression of who you truly are…and this can be catalytic in removing barriers in all areas of your life; relationships, career, personal growth, creativity, or wherever your focus is. Ultimately, cacao can help deepen your connection to your heart, and expand your capacity to love and be loved. In a world where we’re realizing that everything is love, that’s a pretty potent medicine. And everyone deserves a taste.
