Third Friday Monthly Sound Bath & Cacao Ceremony | The Studio - Moran St
Cultural Experiences
Equinox celebration! Nurturing the nervous system with a deep guided journey, sonic experience, hands-on reiki, and cacao.
Mathew, James, and guest facilitators will guide you through a community building, family-friendly cacao ceremony followed by a deeply immersive, full body listening experience that uses a variety of instruments, hands on Reiki, and aromatherapy, to invite a gentle yet powerful therapeutic and restorative process to your mind, body and spirit.
Please arrive about 15-30 minutes ahead of the 7pm start time to settle into the space. Smoke Cleansing starts at 6:30pm.
Come as you are, all ages and persons are welcome. It is our responsibility as facilitators and members of a shared community to not only accept but support each other in being able to receive opportunities and grow together. If there are children in the space we welcome their unique energy and wisdom with gratitude for what we can learn about ourselves through their presence.
Our evening begins with setting a safe container. Then we invite each person to share their intention and a heart share about their journey and where they are growing. Next we move into the Cacao portion of our ceremony, where we will share the rich heart-opening magic of Cacao with a warm cup to enjoy before getting comfortable in a laying-down position for the medicine of sound. We will begin the Sound Bath with a grounding meditation that leads to a symphony of spirit driven co-creation using a variety of instruments and other sounds. During the meditation and sound bath Matthew and James will be sending distance Reiki into the container, as well as offering hands on Reiki for those who feel called. Our time together will conclude with a final group share about your heart opening and healing experience.
Post-ceremony integration:
After the ceremony it is suggested to take it easy. Please take your time coming back into an alert and grounded state before driving home. After spending time activating the parasympathetic nervous system, detoxification and digestion may increase. It’s best to support these processes with plenty of extra hydration in the following days as well as activities that nurture the body and soul. If you experience strong processing or emotional release during or after the ceremony, any practices you connect with for spiritual, emotional, or physical health may be supportive. Consider consulting with one of the facilitators, or another wellness professional such as a therapist, integration coach, energy worker, or other specialist if called. After ceremony it is common for things in one’s life to shift, please reach out via email/call/text to any one of us for assistance along your journey. We are here to empower.
