Woodland Cacao Ritual (Indigo moon portal opening) - London

Cacao drinking in a ritual circle, is an old tribal practice. It can be seen as a herbal drink that works gently in heartcentre and energy openings in people. It takes time to work, and initial effects ar subtle. It's effects can include a good feeling of wellness, connection, love, gratitude, mindfullness, positivity. So starting with groundedness, stillness, and balance is importrant in orderto feel its effects.

What's unique about our Circle ...

• Preparation: We set up the altar & ritual space first; Then take time to prepare our selves - body, mind, emotions - using simple ceremonial techniques (stretching, breath work, meditation); Smudging & Spiri animal calling also takes place;
• Energy Charge: As our Cacao drink is being heated up in our circle with a camping cooker and large pot, we charge it with additional energies - invocations, chants & drums. This imbues the Cacao with woodland energies, as well as the high energy we raise.
• Drinking & magical intention: After a silent moment of intention setting, we all drink the Cacao; Following this, a singing bowl (heart frequency) is used for each person, to allow them to work on their own heart opening; Attendeeds are then led in a short guided pathworking / Journey, and given silent time to explore their inner realms further - and allow insights & visions to appear, as well as energies to gently shift.
• Sharing Circle: Once the Journey has ended, we come together to sit in a circle, have some light snacks to ground, as we share any thoughts and experiences. (sharing is optional).

. . Allow plenty of time for this experiential magical event, so that its energies can work for you.*
