According to pagan lore, it’s evident through the observation of nature that during this unique time of year (the Beltane season) we are drenched in the energetic of full-blown fertility.
Samhain and Beltane sit directly across from one another on the Wheel of the Year.
Like Samhain, the holiday of Beltane is a time when the veil between the worlds is thin. The mythology tells us that there’s more chance at this time of year to see the workings of the elves and fairies.
Where Samhain is associated with the beginning of the dark half of the year and the qualities of god, Beltane is associated with the light half of the year and the qualities of goddess.
The Cacao & Movement
We’ll use gentle, mindfulness based movement and breathwork to stimulate circulation and come into the present moment.
Cacao is the raw whole food form of chocolate. This drink is plant medicine. Sarah’s presentation will allow you to connect with the qualities and gifts of this plant while dropping you into your body and your senses.
Together, we’ll sip and enjoy a serving of rich, velvety, ceremonial grade cacao that is sourced from a small scale farm in Peru.
It is said that pure cacao inspires euphoria. It increases the Nitric Oxide production in your body, relaxing arteries, and stimulating blood flow. Alongside a variety of chemical compounds, cacao contains Anandamide. Termed “the bliss molecule” it’s associated with improved motivation and increased pleasure.
The Beauty Ritual
Building an Altar: Let’s make art together! We’ll create a vibrant tapestry of scarves and flowers.
A Give-Away Ritual: Each guest will give a scarf and receive a scarf. Scarves are used to convey messages of modesty, solidarity, and even rebellion. For some, they serve as a medium for cultural preservation and identity. With their vibrant colors, patterns, and textures, when we adorn them, scarves make a statement.
The Beauty of Listening & Sharing: In our circle we’ll take time to share our “beauty report”, the force that led us to choose the scarf that we did from the altar. We’ll listen to each sister’s story. After that we’ll partner up to play The Noticing Game, which comes from the work of Authentic Relating.
The Shamanic Meditation
Rest while your imagination steps into the mystical realm of a shamanic journey meditation, where your subconscious wisdom meets your present moment exploration. It’s like a mini transformative adventure deep into the recesses of your soul. This is an interactive experience co-created between the guide and your psyche. There’s potential to discover profound insights, healing, and personal evolution.
Alesha’s Sound Healing is a sacredly held space. She’ll guide us on a journey of self-discovery unlike any other. With drumming and guided visualization, you’ll be transported to realms beyond the ordinary, where the veils between the physical and spiritual worlds thin, and the mysteries of your subconscious unfold before you.
