A beautiful, relaxing and invigorating evening

The Spring Equinox marks the time of year when the day and night are of equal length, and the balance between light and darkness is restored. As we move from the dark half of the year into the light, is a time of renewal, rebirth, and new beginnings, when the energy of the earth begins to awaken and come back to life.

The Spring Equinox is a time of transition and change that has been celebrated by cultures all over the world for thousands of years. It is a time to honour the return of the sun, the emergence of new growth, and the renewal of life.

It invites us to reflect on the past and consider what we want to create in the future. It is a time to plant seeds, both literally and figuratively, and to set intentions for the year ahead.

To celebrate the Spring Equinox I am offering an evening retreat which will include a Cacao Ceremony, Drum Circle and Sound Bath

Cacao Ceremony

We will gather around a fire (weather permitting) for a Cacao Ceremony and Drum Circle. (Drums will be provided or you can bring your own)

The benefits of participating in a cacao ceremony are manifold. Here are just a few of the transformative effects that this sacred ritual can bring:

1. Heart-opening and emotional healing: Cacao's unique properties can help individuals release emotional blockages, heal past traumas, and cultivate self-love, forgiveness, and empathy.

2. Enhanced creativity and intuition: By quieting the mind and stimulating the brain, cacao ceremonies encourage individuals to tap into their innate creativity, intuition, and higher consciousness.

3. Connection and community: The shared experience of a cacao ceremony fosters a profound sense of unity and connection among participants, promoting a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of all life.

4. Stress reduction and relaxation: The calming effects of cacao, combined with the soothing elements of the ceremony, can alleviate stress and anxiety, allowing participants to sink into a state of deep relaxation.

Drum Circle

A drum circle is a communal gathering where we play shamanic drums and percussion instruments in a rhythmic, often improvised flow. Rooted in ancient traditions across many cultures, drum circles are used for celebration, healing, and community bonding. They can be facilitated by a leader or entirely spontaneous, creating a shared, meditative musical experience.

One of the primary benefits of a drum circle is stress relief and emotional expression. The repetitive, rhythmic drumming helps induce a meditative state, reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation. The physical act of drumming also allows participants to release built-up emotions, fostering a sense of emotional freedom.

Drumming has been shown to support physical health by improving coordination, boosting the immune system, and even reducing blood pressure. The rhythmic vibrations stimulate the brain, enhancing focus, concentration, and cognitive function.

On a deeper level, drum circles encourage social connection and unity. Drumming together synchronises heartbeats and breathing patterns, fostering a sense of belonging and shared energy. It breaks down social barriers, creating an inclusive space for self-expression.

Spiritually, drum circles can be grounding and empowering, helping individuals feel more connected to themselves, others, and the present moment. Whether for healing, creativity, or joy, drum circles offer a powerful and transformative experience.

Sound Bath

We will then move into the Retreat to immerse yourself in the soothing vibrations of a healing sound bath, where the therapeutic tones of singing bowls, gongs, and other sacred instruments will wash over you. This enchanting auditory experience will ease physical tension, calm your mind, and leave you feeling balanced and harmonized on every level.

Our evening retreat offers a truly transformative journey of self-discovery and renewal, integrating ancient wisdom with modern practices to provide a comprehensive experience like no other. Reserve your spot today and prepare to embrace a new level of personal growth, well-being, and inner harmony.
