Join us for this wonderful heart opening event combining Cacao Ceremony and Movement Meditation 🪶💓
Gentle movement, Cacao, intention setting, journal, move and rest.
Feel more connected to your body, mind and soul. We gather to rest our minds, move our bodies, and heal through connection to ourselves. Everyone is welcome.
We start with.... CACAO CEREMONY ✨
The first thing to do when entering a ceremony is to leave all your expectations at the door. Return to the blank canvas of your pure being, where your heart and mind are wide open.
Ceremonial cacao has been used for centuries and is a beautiful heart opening plant medicine that is full of nutritional benefits and has more antioxidants than any other food on the planet.
Drinking cacao helps you to connect and open your heart. In many spiritual traditions, the heart is seen as the centre of our being, the place where our truest self resides. The cacao we will drink is ceremonial grade and is grown and harvested in Peru, from the Ashaninka families.The variety is Criollo and no pesticides or chemical fertilisers are used by the growers and they all follow organic farming practices. Peru is world renowned for it’s quality flavour Cacao.
Cacao opens the gateway to the sacred heart space and assists us in releasing fear, insecurity and guilt which clears the lower chakras, facilitating a deeply grounding connection to Mother Earth.
(Herbal tea blend will be available for those that would rather not drink cacao)
Then we move into... MOVEMENT MEDITATION ✨
Sharnelle will guide you through a conscious dance practice called Flow Dnace Meditation using silent disco headphones. Anyone can do this movement meditation practice so no previous experience is needed.
This practice is a way of exploring meditation in a dynamic fun new way. The class is an un-choreographed, conscious dance meditation practice, which encourages self-expression and discovery.
The practice helps you to explore and express how you feel through movement. You don’t have to learn any steps and there’s no pressure to perform, making it easier to relax, allowing the body and mind to get into a state of flow.
MEDITATION hits the dance floor. CONNECT deeply with yourself. MOVE & shift your energy. RELEASE what isn’t serving you & find your unique flow.
🎧 Please note, to enhance your experience we use silent disco headphones for this event to help you drop deeper into the dance. We provide these on the day.
THE MUSIC
The music is created in a way to allow the mind and body to transcend into a state of bliss, using varied tempos and rhythms to help you connect to the river of energy flowing within you. Close your eyes, connect and allow your body to move to the music. Dance on your own terms - Join us for a judgement-free, immersive dance journey!
THE FLOW DANCE MEDITATION METHOD
This conscious dance program is a vehicle for embodiment, raising vibration and consciousness. Through somatic techniques you will become more deeply connected with yourself, especially your inner world. There are 3 sections that you will be guided through - Connect, Move, Release. FDM invites you to get present, so you can feel it and heal it; in an accessible, fun and dynamic way. The music that is used plays an important role in helping to drop into a flow state of consciousness.
