‘FreedOm in the Forest' Ecstatic Dance and Cacao Ceremony

Come join us as we dance a somatic journey that is wild, barefoot and free!

Held at Wendover Woods, one of Forestry England's most beautiful and ancient woodlands.

We start the ceremony by drinking heart opening sacred cacao, where we make an intention for the dance. We are then guided by an experienced facilitator to get out of our head space and into our bodies. Helping us to let go of any inhibitions, earthing our energy and bringing us back to centre. Connecting back in with our true selves. Allowing us to feel free to dance in whatever way our body wants to.

Dancing/moving to medicine music, healing shamanic sounds, building to high vibrational euphoric tunes, and finishing with a deeply grounding sound immersion.

Luisa Bradshaw-White aka DJ LuluOm creates a wave of music that is earthy, shamanic, heart opening, tribal, euphoric and fun!

It starts slow and hypnotic and builds and builds to a fast moving, free flowing, ecstatic peak and finished with a deeply grounding sound immersion.

This is not a sober rave. It is a somatic journey using movement and sound to let go of anything that no longer serves us, so we can step into the fullest, most joyous version of ourselves.

This is a space of non judgement. A space to be completely YOU. We welcome you. ☺️

High quality super comfortable headsets used for a deep immersive experience.

Contraindications of cacao (please note one cup of cacao we serve is considered a small dose)

* if you are on antidepressants, SSRIs or other Medic*tion, have a heart condition or are pregnant: Be aware that the theobromine in cacao is a vasodilator: it increases the heart rate and lowers blood pressure, so you may be better off with a smaller dose

. * If you are on MAOI antidepressants, cacao (& all forms of chocolate) is contraindicated because it contains tyramine.

* if you are taking 5-htp (5-Hydroxytryptophan) it's advisable to have a smaller dose of cacao.

* If you are taking St John's Wort, please refrain from taking it for a few days before.

* If you are epileptic a high consumption of cacao could possibly increase the risk of seizures.

*If you take antipsychotic Medic*tion, consuming ceremonial cacao in this way is also contraindicated.

* if you have low blood pressure, be aware that although cacao is a stimulant, it lowers blood pressure. Depending on your condition, a smaller dose might be appropriate.

* some people are allergic or sensitive to theobromine - it can trigger headaches or migraines in some people. In some cases, a smaller dose will be fine depending on how sensitive you are.
