“ Come back to intuitive flow.Unlock the Ancient Healer within. ” Sacred Cacao + Blue Lotus CeremonyJoin us to honour Winter Solstice in an evening of mystical ceremony to welcome the reflective, hibernation womb of these colder months. Winter is the perfect season to wind down, restore, integrate shadows, gain wisdom, and discover deeper meaning.We call in guidance from the Spirits of Cacao and Blue Lotus to awaken the wise, inherent healer in you. Together, we work side by side with two plant medicines that Simone and Jasmine have called dear plant allies for many years.Blue Lotus is a sacred flower revered in Ancient Egypt for its euphoric, relaxing, visionary, and lucid dreaming effects. You will attune to the ancient Egyptian alchemy of sacred Blue Lotus medicine, infused into deeply grounding Sacred Cacao, to awaken and access your own natural rhythms of healing, higher understanding, and enhanced intuition.Simone will begin with a heart-opening Cacao Ceremony, honouring the land where we gather, our ancestors, and the native land of this sacred medicina.Cacao is a potent plant medicine that opens the heart space and allows the unveiling of the heart’s shadows. Bliss, joy, love, peace, sadness, or a deep sense of stillness may be experienced.Remember that any arising emotion is serving you perfectly, so the invitation is to allow yourself to surrender and feel fully, without any judgment, for your personal purpose of growth, healing, and expansion into unconditional Love. Channeled Meditation + Energy Healing Ritual"Remember your unique gifts. Reclaim your divine birthright.”You will be led by Jasmine into plant spirit attunement with Blue Lotus through vibrational oil anointing, followed by an energy healing meditation to welcome her expansive energy into your body.Jasmine will guide you through a live channeled transmission, allowing you to soothe and discharge your nervous system, cleanse and release blocked energy, and nurture yourself back into intuitive ease, integrative flow, and deep restoration. She will invite connection between you and your spirit guides, called in to protect, inspire, and communicate higher guidance to you. This will be an opportunity to gain insight into what has been holding you back from reclaiming full entitlement to your inner light and receiving healing vibrations through your energy centres. Sound Journey + Energy HealingThe group container will be charged with healing energy to help you release self-sabotaging cycles and fears that are blocking you from reclaiming your true birthright: to evolve, self-heal, and transcend the pain of the past to become true and embodied wisdom.Be lovingly held - physically, emotionally, and energetically - through the vibrational healing frequencies of Crystal and Tibetan Singing Bowls, Shamanic Medicine Drums, Koshi Wind Chimes, and other Earth-grounding instruments to help you align with the Heart of Mother Earth and your Higher Self.You will be invited to receive Universal Reiki frequencies and Blue Lotus healing touch.
