Full Moon in Virgo Women’s Circle ✨
Under the illuminating Virgo Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse, we gather to release perfectionism, clear old patterns, and gently reorganize our inner and outer worlds. Known as the Worm Moon, this potent lunation invites healing through practicality—tending to our bodies, minds, and daily rhythms with compassion and clarity. Together, we’ll reflect, reset routines, and rewrite limiting narratives, creating space for grounded growth, sustainable self-care, and a healthier future rooted in humility and self-trust.
~~~
Wild women, I call to you to come and explore within the womb of this sacred circle the potential that lies within you.
Wise woman, I call to you to gather in community with other women and harmonise our creations,
Warmhearted woman, I call to you to share your gifts into the world with your creative force as all women stand hand in hand beside you.
We Aim To:
Create a Safe Space: Foster a supportive and sacred circle where women can connect, share, and heal through authentic expression.
Empower Self-Expression: Help women cultivate the confidence to speak their truth and embrace vulnerability.
Self-Mastery of Communication: Guide participants through self-discovery and mastery in expressing their innermost feelings, desires, and boundaries.
Living Authentically: Encourage women to not only speak their truth but also embody it in their daily lives through aligned actions and decisions.
Foster Sisterhood: Build a strong community of like-minded women who support, inspire, and uplift one another in their personal and collective journeys.

Do you ever feel:
Lack of Confidence: Women often doubt their own voices, struggling to assert themselves in personal and professional spaces.
Suppressed Emotions: Years of conditioning or trauma may have led to the repression of authentic feelings, making it difficult to open up and share.
Disconnection from Inner Wisdom: Some may feel out of touch with their own needs, desires, and intuition, making it challenging to live authentically.

CIRCLE ~ SACRED ~ CYCLE
The Event:
The theme for this month’s Sacred Circle is ~ “Healing Through Creativity”
With the New Moon in Pisces you are invited to explore healing through creativity. You don't need to be a 'creative person', or artistic or any other label you can think of that is 'not creative'.
Planting and nurturing new seeds so that you may blossom and grow in all your glory.
- Are you open to explore healing, being whole?
- Where would you like to feel more fully yourself?
- Are you ready to embrace the creative life force that flows within you?
What is creativity mean and where does it come from? Why do so many of us think we are not creative? When you open up to the fountain that is within you your creative life force is able to flow and fully express your own unique light and gifts into the world.
We will begin with a cacao ceremony where we will share a tea cup of this beautiful elixir.
***You are welcome to attend the event and not partake in the drinking of cacao.
Cacao is a gentle and beautiful heart healing medicine. It can help bring focus and clarity where we were feeling unclear, stagnated or stuck. As we drop down from the head and into the heart, blockages around the heart are dispersed. Cacao enables us to connect with the more subtle realms and our own deepest wisdom. This medicine allows us to be guided from a place of feeling and inner knowing.
The event will include:

Please Bring:
* A journal & pen
* A yoga mat, blanket, cushion, eye mask
* Your beautiful self

Cacao Ceremony with Juliette Noske
Cacao is a gentle and beautiful heart healing medicine. It can help bring focus and clarity where we were feeling unclear, stagnated or stuck. As we drop down from the head and into the heart, blockages around the heart are dispersed. Cacao enables us to connect with the more subtle realms and our own deepest wisdom. This medicine allows us to be guided from a place of feeling and inner knowing.
BENEFITS OF CACAO
Lots of Goodness:
Contains iron, magnesium and calcium and tonnes of antioxidants.
Improves Your Focus:
Cacao contains dopamine, the neurotransmitter that aids mental concentration, focus and the cultivation of positivity towards life.
Reduces Your Stress:
Cacao stimulates the release of endorphins, which calm the body's stress response and act as a powerful and natural anti-depressant.
Boosts Your Energy:
Cacao stimulates the cardiovascular system, giving a full body high without the anxious buzz of caffeine.

Read carefully, this information is important:
CACAO USE
Is cacao safe for me?
Who shouldn’t drink cacao?
For most people, cacao is very safe!
However, there are some specific contraindications so please check below.
Health factors to be particularly aware of are:
*If you are on antidepressants, SSRIs or other Medic*tion, have a heart condition or are pregnant: Be aware that the theobromine in cacao is a vasodilator: it increases the heart rate and lowers blood pressure. Cacao in the concentrated doses we consume in ceremony therefore increases blood flow to the brain & heart by at least 40% so you may be better off with a smaller dose. I usually offer a half-dose to people on SSRIs. Please see below for more info.
*If you are taking 5-htp (5-Hydroxytryptophan) it's advisable to have a smaller dose of cacao.
*If you are taking St John's Wort, please refrain from taking it for a few days before & after the cacao circle.
*If you are on MAOI antidepressants, cacao (& all forms of chocolate) is contraindicated because it contains tyramine.
*If you take antipsychotic Medic*tion, (for any reason), consuming ceremonial cacao in this way is also contraindicated. (And if being treated for psychosis, I also don't feel it's wise to engage in practices which involve exploring how to tune into and hear an inner voice, the voice of a plant spirit or other guide.)
*If you have low blood pressure, be aware that although cacao is a stimulant, it lowers blood pressure. Depending on your condition, a smaller dose might be appropriate - in some cases it may be contraindicated eg if you have had epileptic fits triggered by low blood pressure (bear in mind that the whole ritualised experience of lying down & being guided on a nidra & deeply introspective journey is also likely to lower your blood pressure even without the cacao!). Please contact me if you want to ask more.
*Some people are allergic or sensitive to theobromine - it can trigger headaches or migraines in some people. (You will probably already know if this is you.) In some cases, a smaller dose will be fine depending on how sensitive you are.
*If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, be aware that theobromine is a stimulant & increases heart rate & lowers blood pressure. Some western people advise avoiding it completely during pregnancy, others suggest a smaller dose. However, I think it's also worth noting that for thousands of years, indigenous Mayan women have consumed cacao safely throughout pregnancy and even during childbirth (in the final stages of labour, to assist with the final big push!), as well as afterwards - in their culture, midwives know that cacao is such a nourishing, energising food that it gives women great strength. So if you are pregnant or breastfeeding this does not rule cacao out for you - I simply present this information so that you can make your own informed decision, and if you are new to cacao especially, I would certainly serve you a smaller dose so you can see how you respond. Cacao contains roughly a tenth of the caffeine found in coffee so depending on your stance on coffee during pregnancy you may be ok with the smaller dose of cacao. Similarly, some people prefer to avoid all sources of theobromine & caffeine while they are breastfeeding.
*If you are epileptic: high consumption of cacao stimulates the brain and there is also scientific research to suggest a possible connection between caffeine & cacao consumption and increased seizures. Scientific research / evidence is still inconclusive, but I would err on the side of caution if you have a history of epilepsy. It is also important for the sake of other participants that we create a safe environment where there is little risk of disruption.
*If you are sensitive to caffeine, it can affect your sleep - though cacao contains far less than coffee - about a tenth of the amount. People often find they actually sleep really well and dream vividly after consuming ceremonial cacao.
The ceremonial-grade cacao shared in the medicine ceremony is very different from, and more pure & potent than, the raw cacao powder you might use to make raw chocolate, a superfood tonic or smoothies (although ceremonial grade cacao can also be used for all these things). It is far less processed: ceremonial cacao is not heat-treated & retains the cacao butter as well as the cacao powder (cacao solids).
About our "ceremonial grade" cacao from Cacao Love. This ancient strain criollo cacao is sourced from organic farmer's co-operatives in the Peruvian Andes. From "seed to ceremony" we only work with co-operatives and family-run businesses, supporting indigenous entrepreneurship with our exchanges.
The co-op we've worked with over the last decade was founded in 1998 with the intentions of working with small farmers to preserve traditional methods of cultivating, processing and harvesting cacao.
Their four founding principles are:
1) Prioritising quality over quantity
2) Supporting Andean mega-biodiversity, not homogenisation
3) Promoting organic methods of production
4) Fair income distribution amongst the people participating as suppliers, transformers and traders
5) Social responsibility, following the principles of Fair Trade
The co-op works alongside the small farmers, generating employment for the local community and offering training and financial support to encourage indigenous entrepreneurship, raising the living standards of small farmers and sustainably increasing crop yields.
***There will also be the opportunity to buy some cacao at the end of the ceremony.
