Self-Love Cacao Ceremony & Sound Bath

Cacao has been used for thousands of years as a sacred heart-opening plant medicine, gently guiding us out of the thinking mind and into the wisdom of the heart. Soft yet powerful, ceremonial cacao supports emotional clarity, deep connection, and a sense of alignment with what we truly need — without force or resistance.

Join us for an afternoon of open-hearted presence, community, and deep nourishment, held within the warm, cosmic glow of cacao. You’ll be guided through grounding and heart-opening practices inspired by the current astrological energies, before sharing a sacred cacao elixir to support connection and intention.

We’ll close with a deeply restorative elemental sound journey, featuring gongs, drums, crystal bowls, and sacred song — allowing the body and nervous system to soften, integrate, and rest.

Come with an open heart, a curious spirit, and a smile — and leave feeling held, connected, and gently renewed.

Please bring a small cup or chalice with you.

As Winter Solstice approaches — the powerful pause at the heart of the year — we invite you to a nourishing evening of ceremonial cacao and sound immersion designed to help you reconnect, release, and realign.

We’ll begin by sharing ceremonial cacao, an ancient plant ally known for its uplifting and heart-softening qualities. You’ll be guided through ceremony, setting intention, and gentle reflection as the cacao supports a deeper connection to your inner wisdom.

Once grounded, we transition into a restorative sound journey, allowing the frequencies of crystal bowls, gong, Tibetan bowls, and harmonic instruments to guide you into spacious awareness. The sound vibration helps cleanse the energetic field, calm the nervous system, and create room for renewal.

This gathering is an invitation to honor the slow rhythms of winter, to acknowledge what you’re shedding, and to consciously call in the light of the new season. Whether you’re seeking clarity, comfort, community, or simply a moment of stillness, this space is for you.

Yin Yoga & Sound Healing for Winter

Join Gemma for a 2-hour winter-focused yin yoga and sound bath journey, designed to bring balance to body, mind, and soul as we move into the depths of the season.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is connected to the Water element and the energy of the Kidneys and Bladder—our reservoirs of vitality. This practice invites you to slow down, soften, and replenish through yin postures that release tension, encourage fluidity, and create space for emotional ease.

As we drop into stillness, we’ll attune to the inner flow of water within, supporting our natural capacity to rest, restore, and prepare for the renewal of spring. The journey will close with a deeply nourishing sound bath, where therapeutic vibrations gently calm the nervous system and invite profound relaxation.

This seasonal practice offers:

• Gentle yin postures to hydrate tissues and ease stiffness

• Space for reflection and quiet contemplation

• The soothing resonance of sound for deep relaxation

• An opportunity to honour winter’s call to rest, hibernate, and restore

You’ll leave feeling calmer, revitalised, and deeply replenished—ready to flow into the next season with clarity and renewed energy.
