Fall Equinox + New Moon Cacao & Breathwork Ceremony


Details
The Autumn Equinox is a turning point and threshold, the time when day and night are in equal balance as we transition into the Autumn season, inviting us to pause and to feel both the light and shadow within ourselves. 🍂
This year, the Autumn Equinox coincides with a New Moon in Virgo and Solar Eclipse - completing the Eclipse season which was begun on 9/7. Needless to say, it's a good day to be in ceremony!! ♍️
To celebrate and harness the energy of a triple-power cosmic event, we will work with the medicines of Cacao, Relational Alchemy, and Transformational Breathwork to set aligned intentions and plant potent seeds for the season which lies ahead☕️🌬️We will also work with Tulsi, well known in Ayurvedic medicine for its healing and balancing properties, as our plant ally during this ceremony. 🌿
Transformational Breathwork and Cacao are two powerful medicines which help us to drop into our heart and body, expand our consciousness, and journey into emotional, physical, and spiritual healing.
We will open the space with a cacao ceremony, bringing in Cacao and Tulsi (Holy Basil) as our plant guides this month. 🪷 ☕️ Working with cacao helps us to open our hearts, access our intuitive channels, activate our creativity and gently turn inwards into a space of self love and reflection. Tulsi helps to promote balance and clarity within and without, and supports us in grounding and harmonizing our inner world during Virgo season.
We will set our intentions for this space and for this moon cycle ahead, and then after a personal journey with cacao, we will move into some relational practices to move the energy through our heartspace. We will then warm up the body and breath to enter into our transformational breathwork journey.
Transformational Breathwork helps us to deepen our inner connection, improve our physical vitality, elevate mental and emotional clarity, and awaken our spiritual connection. It works by helping you to bypass the conscious mind and move into the subtle body to access the deeper layers of emotion, while gently supporting the nervous system.
It’s a powerful and effective way to move stuck energy, access emotional and energetic catharsis, and tap into a deeply intuitive state while remaining grounded in the body!
During our breathwork journey, you will lay down on your mat and be gently guided into a rhythmic breathing pattern supported by the music and my voice helping you to travel deeply into your body, allowing the breath to create space for release and renewal.
For many, the breath utilized in this way can help to release stored emotional energy that has been keeping them blocked and stagnated for years. And for many others, it is a portal to their innate wisdom and medicine within, an activation of their true essence and gifts.
Our journey will conclude with a group integration, with time for journaling and sharing insights and further support for one another.
Together we will co-create a healing and insightful experience of somatic release, heart-centered expression, and creating space for what you are truly calling into your life at this time.
