Cacao Ceremony & Sound Bath, Friday 7th March at Barcombe Village Hall, Lewes
Join us from 7.30 pm (arrive 7.15pm) Friday 7th March for a 90 minute Cacao Ceremony and Sound Bath. (scroll down to the end to book once you've read all the info)
You are invited to savour the gorgeous pairing of heart-opening, luxurious ceremonial grade cacao followed by a relaxing sound bath. Wintertime is perfect time to enjoy the warming elixir by candlelight.
Following a busy day, this evening will provide you with an opportunity pause, relax, nourish and nurture yourself. Inviting a deepening connection with your heart, whilst quietening your mind and promoting deep relaxation and energy release – ultimately you will receive what you need.
Ceremonial grade cacao is raw and natural with minimal processing, think best hot chocolate ever that is good for you! (no processed sugar or nasties)
YET it is so much more than this, as it is full of vitamins, minerals, and mood boosting properties, as well as a powerful plant teacher, known for its heart opening and nurturing qualities.
Following the cacao ceremony, you will experience a Sound Baths Immersion. When you will have a opportunity to relax, calm your mind, release tension and blocked energies.Resonant sound reduces stress and anxiety and enhances the body’s natural healing abilities.
My sound bath begins with the earthy tones of a shamanic and ocean drum, ethereal resonance of native style flutes, meditation flow chime and angelic resonance of crystal singing bowls, vocal tones, and gentle percussion.
This event is for absolute beginners and those who have experienced ceremonial cacao and sound baths alike. Benefits are similar to mediation, including relaxation, stress and anxiety reduction, calming of the nervous system, improved general well-being, improved sleep to name a few!
Everything in the universe is in a constant state of vibration, including our bodies, so it is natural that beautiful blissful tones, sounds, and music elevates and transport us to a higher frequency, and it literally soothes our nervous system, brings us into a deep state of relaxation and equilibrium.
If this calls you, I look forward to welcoming you.
Big love, Liz
