Samhain (also known as Day of the Dead), marks the start of the Winter & New Year in the Celtic tradition. It is a powerful time to honour your Ancestors & welcome Ancestral Healing. Healing your family line & supporting your soul's mission to bring ancestral healing. It is also a time when the veils between the visible and invisible realms are thinner, so you can connect more easily to Guidance from your Ancestors and Spirit Guides to support your soul's journey of healing & awakening.
Marking the end of the harvest season, Samhain is also a time to give thanks to Mother Earth for her abundance & to offer gratitude for all that you are harvesting before you move into the Winter cycle. It is said the fairies are also particularly active at this time!
Astrologically Samhain marks the rising of the star nation Pleiades, the Seven Sisters, a highly evolved civilisation of star beings. Pleiadean energy supports you to connect to your feminine energy & to hold your darkness, your shadow. Pleiadean energy also reminds you of the impermanence of life and the fact that death is a part of nature and also a part of your journey.
Take time out from your daily life to fully nourish, restore and nurture yourself. Journeying together in a Group in Sacred Ceremonial Space at this time of Samhain provides a powerful Alchemical Chamber for Inner Growth & Transformation. Inner Intentional journeying at this time can help you to cultivate inner Balance, Harmony, gain Clarity and allow you to access Deep Wisdom.
Cacao is a sacred ceremonial medicine used by the ancients in Southern and Central America for thousands of years, where it was seen as “a hotline to the Divine”. Cacao is a light and gentle plant medicine but it can also work more deeply on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Working with the sacred plant medicine of Cacao (raw chocolate) to open the Heart & assist with healing, and also with the Rose Spirit to bring Heart opening & to awaken your Divine Feminine energy.

ABOUT ME
I Love nothing more than to guide others to become more aware of their Divine Heart Self, to remember the powerful creator that they are & to Be the Beacon of Light that they truly are. We each have the power to manifest Infinite Possibilities. To truly know ourselves is, I believe, the greatest gift we can offer to humanity. I am also passionate about helping women & men Awaken their Divine Feminine energy to come into Balance. My passion for empowering people to remember their Divine Infinite Self takes me to facilitating wellbeing Workshops, Ceremonies, Festivals and Retreats, teaching Yoga, Meditation, leading Cacao Ceremonies with 5 element ecstatic dance, Heart Rituals or Fire Ceremonies, & working One on One with Reiki & Multidimensional Energy Healing, Breathwork, Gong Healing, Indian Head Massage and Intuitive Coaching and Heart Healing sessions.
TESTIMONIALS
"The cacao ceremony allowed me to really focus on my intention for the new year which was the wish to thrive in my life. The atmosphere was very open, warm and supportive. I gained real clarity about how I wanted my life to look. Since then magical things have happened in my life (landed a dream job,travel, better health) and I feel I can really thank Fouzia for expertly holding the space for deep inner reflection, focus and the consequential manifestation of my wish not just to survive but to thrive."
"Each time I attend one of your events, I feel such a nurturing & held experience, & that is completely with thanks to your kind & healing energy & the lessons of the heart you so willingly and carefully share. Thank you for being such a giving teacher and reminding me to connect to the heart, over and over as many times as I need. The space you hold is an anchor in itself and helps to steady me for whatever the ocean may bring." Fiona, London
" Thank you so much for this beautiful ceremony 💫💕 Your beauty, light, inner guidance shines inside and outside.. so so beautiful. It was so powerful and so lovely :-)."

"In our Ancestral Healing session I felt very held and guided by Fouzia, she has a wonderful way of holding space and even though it's online, the connection we have is so powerful. Working with the Ancestors can be overwhelming for me, but with Fouzia it was very gentle and supported. Truly recommend Fouzia's sessions, her cup of love is overflowing and when she breaks out into a smile, so gorgeous, you really see all the love she has for all ❤" Jenny, London
"I have been attending Fouzia's Cacao Ceremonies for the past few months which has given me space to truly open my heart. The community feel of the ceremonies are both powerful and welcoming. I was a beginner to Cacao, and I am so grateful to have found Fouzia to assist me on this healing journey as she radiates strength, softness, and beauty in all ways which creates a wonderful safe space to work with the Magical Cacao. No words can express how grateful I am to Fouzia and what she has done for me on my healing/ transformation journey. I look forward to attending the next cacao ceremony, Thank you from my heart to yours." Katie
"I attend Fouzia’s cacao ceremonies in London regularly and I always like the wonderful healing energy that is transmitted through connection to Mama Cacao and though heart meditation. Thanks to the moon and Mama cacao energies I could feel a deep connection with the highest energies of the universe which made the ceremony very special. I can’t wait to attend the next ceremony! It’s a great way to reconnect, ground and heal, especially at the present time." Karina, May 2020 (online ceremony)
