Are ready to (re)connect to your rhythm and centre?

To feel your heartbeat align with the pulse of the earth?

We spend way too much time thinking our way through life. Our energy is consumed by what is next; the how-to and where.

What if for just a moment we could hit the pause button?

Turn off the incessant thinking. Let go of the to-do list.

Imagine sitting in nature, the coolness of the earth beneath your feet, a gentle breeze on your skin, your gaze hypnotised by the dance of a crackling fire. A drum beats. Your heartbeats. Your breath begins to slow. Nothing to do, nowhere to go, just this moment… as the busyness of the world falls away into the background, a more primitive and simple way of being arises.

Now more than ever we need to (re)connect to our primordial centre of gravity, to drop down from our head into our body where we can feel, sense and breath in tune with the greater life forces.

Gravity becomes our ally as we surrender to the gentle pull, down and in.

It is from this place that we can lay down our load, deeply root ourselves in the present moment and reorient our compass to true north.

In this collaboration of Cacao Ceremony & Open Floor dance we will:

• Create sacred space with the support of mother nature and our plant guide Cacao.
• Recalibrate our centre and orient ourselves to a place of stillness within.
• Connect to the beat of your heart, the heart of the earth, the heart of your ancestors.
• Explore the essence of gravity, of what it feels like to surrender and be held, to be rooted, uprooted, overly rooted.
• Restore a sense of balance and equilibrium.

During this time there will be an invitation for stillness, movement, sound, silence, prayer, reflection and sharing. In this co-created space we honour all that arises and our own unique path of expression.

If you are new to Cacao, please take a moment to read through this introductory guide. In it, you will learn about Cacao as plant medicine and how to prepare for the journey.

• A water bottle to stay hydrated
• A blanket, pillow and or yoga mat to lay on.
• A journal for self-reflection
• Whatever else will make you comfortable – perhaps a shawl to stay warm.
• An open heart, a sense of curiosity and a willingness to share & connect with others.

Bookings are essential for the Cacao Ceremony – you can register online with the option to pay by credit card, bank transfer or cash on the day. Tickets are $20 per person and your RSVP helps us to prepare enough Cacao on the day. Please R.S.V.P >

Open Floor Dance class is $20 per person, cash at the door. No booking is required.

We look forward to sharing this heart-opening journey with you.
