Gentle gathering in community with Cacao

cacao-ceremony-bournemouth

Slow down. Open your heart. Come home to yourself.

Life moves quickly.

Most of us spend our days solving problems, looking after other people, rushing from one thing to the next and rarely taking time to simply be.

This evening is an invitation to pause.

Together we’ll gather in the peaceful surroundings for a gentle, heart opening cacao ceremony, accompanied by live medicine music, a deeply relaxing sound journey and space to reconnect with yourself, nature and a welcoming community.

No previous experience is needed.

Whether this is your first ceremony or something you’ve explored before, you are warmly welcome.

What to expect

Our evening will gently unfold through:

  • A warm welcome and time to settle into the space.
  • Opening the circle and honouring the Four Directions.
  • A moment to set your personal intention.
  • Ceremonial cacao, prepared and shared with gratitude.
  • Live medicine songs and traditional inspired icaros.
  • A deeply restorative sound journey.
  • Quiet reflection and integration.
  • An optional sharing circle.
  • Tea, connection and community connection afterwards.

Everything is an invitation.

There is no pressure to share, participate in any particular way or have any specific experience.

Simply come as you are.

What is ceremonial cacao?

Ceremonial cacao is pure cacao prepared with care and intention.

Unlike hot chocolate, it is minimally processed and traditionally used to support mindfulness, connection and reflection.

Many people experience a gentle sense of warmth, openness and calm. Every experience is unique.

What to bring

Please bring:

  • A yoga mat or comfortable mattress.
  • Pillow and blanket.
  • Warm, comfortable clothing.
  • Water bottle.
  • Journal if you enjoy writing.

We recommend avoiding alcohol and recreational drugs before attending, and arriving with an open mind rather than expectations.

Is this for me?

This evening may be perfect if you are looking to:

  • Slow down from a busy life.
  • Spend time in nature.
  • Experience beautiful live music and sound.
  • Meet kind, like minded people.
  • Create space for reflection.
  • Reconnect with yourself.

You do not need any spiritual beliefs or previous experience.

Just curiosity and a willingness to be present.
