Setting Intentions for 2020 with Ritual & Ceremony 

Maggie Rose and I invite you to this half-day retreat. 

With Cacao-filled love in our hearts, we will gracefully let go of what holds us back from our highest potential and ritualise our prayers and intentions for the year. 

Intentions not only for ourselves, but for our families, Mother Earth and her dwellers!

The planetary support we have available for this ceremony is phenomenal. In a nutshell: a full moon, Saturn Pluto conjunction in Capricorn AND we will be on the other side of a lunar eclipse. These influences will lend fuel to the manifestation of our intentions supporting our inner warrior, self-care and actions. The time is now!

Last years Cacao Despacho Ceremony was amazing, with some real magic occurring around our prayer bundle as it was swept out to sea. We are looking forward to creating more light-filled magic with you!

What to Expect

Yoga mats, bolsters, blocks and blankets are all provided.

There is also a lovely cafe foyer where you can wait. 

The Despacho Ceremony

We will add symbolic elements to this sacred creation individually and collectively. 

The offerings are selected one by one, with a prayer or intention spoken over each and gently blown into them. Advise on what offerings to bring will be sent upon booking. 

They are placed on a wrapper arranged however feels right.

Once completed, the Despacho is carefully wrapped and secured with a ribbon or string and fed to one of the elements. In this case, our Despacho will be given to Fire to take our prayers directly to Spirit. Fire manifests intentions instantly.

Humility, gratitude and an open heart are held throughout ceremony to ensure that more grace is experienced in your life, and this state of being will be supported by Sacred Cacao.

The Cacao Sound Ceremony 

You MUST READ the 'contra-indications' below before booking. 

Cacao is THE love medicine! Packed full of neurotransmitters that evoke love, clarity, creativity and bliss. See here for more detailed Cacao information

We are intuitive facilitators who trust Sacred Cacao to lead. She will run throughout the afternoon (and beyond) in her unique way. The below summary of what to expect are based on previous ceremonies but subject to change.

You will:

Sit and share in ceremonial circle. You share only if comfortable to do so - no pressure. 

Drink ceremonial grade Cacao tea

Be guided on a spirit medicine journey 

Be held in a vibrational bath of soft instrumental sounds; for example, shamanic reiki drum, singing bowls and voice. 

Enjoy a light 24" Venus planetary gong bath. Venus governs the feminine principle that brings love, romance and creativity; a perfect complement to Cacao. The sounds will be gentle and holding.
