Women’s Cacao Ceremony – Honouring the Female Body

Over dit evenement

We women are naturally caring and loving beings. We give, we nurture, we hold space for others. And yet, when it comes to ourselves, we often forget to offer the same love, softness and care that we so freely give to others.
We place high expectations on ourselves. We try to keep all the balls in the air, and somehow, it can feel like we’re never doing quite enough.

Does this sound familiar? Then this afternoon is especially for you.

This gathering is an invitation to slow down, come home to yourself, and honour your beautiful female body.

We’ll begin with a heart-opening cacao ceremony, creating a moment to connect with your heart and gently turn your attention inward. From there, a soft and nourishing yoga flow will invite you to reconnect with your body in a loving and compassionate way.

We’ll then take a deeply relaxing journey through the body with Yoga Nidra, allowing you to soften, rest and simply be.

There will also be time to create your own beautiful massage oil to take home, giving you a little ritual to continue nourishing and caring for yourself long after the ceremony. There will be space for journaling and sharing, but everything is completely optional. You are always welcome to simply listen, rest and be.

A beautiful afternoon dedicated entirely to YOU where you don’t have to take care of anyone but yourself.

You’ll leave feeling more grounded, nourished and connected to your body, with a little more space, softness and self-love to carry with you home.

I would love to share this special afternoon with you and celebrate our bodies together. ♡

How to Prepare

To support a clear and grounded experience, I kindly recommend:
* Avoiding coffee on the day of the ceremony. If you are prone to headaches without coffee, please have no more than one cup in the morning.
* Avoiding alcohol and recreational drugs the day before and on the day of the ceremony.
* Eating a light meal no later than two hours before we begin.

Cacao & Health Considerations

Ceremonial cacao is generally considered gentle, but it may not be suitable for everyone. Please check with your GP or healthcare professional beforehand if you:
* Have a cardiovascular condition
* Take antidepressant medication, particularly MAOIs or SSRIs
* Are pregnant
If you are unsure whether cacao is suitable for you, please consult your GP or healthcare professional beforehand. I am not a medical professional and cannot provide medical advice.
If you cannot or prefer not to drink cacao, I will provide rose tea instead. You can also choose to have just a few sips or a smaller amount of cacao. This is absolutely no problem.

If any of this applies to you, please let me know in advance: simply send me an email so I can prepare accordingly.

Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a deeply relaxing practice. If you have a history of psychosis or are prone to psychotic episodes, Yoga Nidra may not be suitable for you. Please reach out to me beforehand if you have any questions or concerns.

Allergies
Please let me know if you have any nut or other allergies, particularly because of the snacks and the ingredients used to make the massage oil.

Cancellation Policy
Tickets are non-refundable. If you are unable to attend, you are very welcome to sell or gift your spot to someone else.
I’m always happy to help you find a replacement, but unfortunately I cannot provide refunds.

If you have any questions, doubts or special requests, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I look forward to sharing this beautiful afternoon with you and celebrating our bodies together.

I can’t wait to welcome you all! ♡
