New Moon Gong Bath / Sound Meditation

Facilitated by Theresa Royle

Let's celebrate the New Moon in the airy sign of Gemini. New Moons are a potent time to plant seeds for the upcoming moon cycle. We will focus on the elemental quality of air for this zodiac sign, and our evening together will be themed around this. Once you prepare a cosy nest for yourself on the yoga mat, we will start with some very gentle breathing and mantra chanting, followed by a guided meditation and the sound bath. There is nothing for you to do but to turn up with an open mind and heart and let the experience unfold organically.

Contraindications:

Gong baths are not recommended for pregnancies in the first trimester, individuals with pacemakers/metal implants, epilepsy, or any form of a serious mental health condition. By purchasing your ticket, you confirm that you have read and understood these conditions.

Equipment:
Dragonfly Yoga will provide yoga mats and bolsters, however, please feel free to bring your own yoga mat along to place on top if you wish to. Please do bring your own blanket as due to hygiene reasons the studio won't be able to provide this. Body temperature tends to drop during a gong bath, and being warm is cozy is necessary to have the best experience. You may also want to bring an eye pillow for extra comfort.

Sacred Cacao Ceremony Retreat with Breathwork & Meditation

Facilitated by Kriss Höss 

Join this special sacred & heart-opening experience & RETREAT to help re-connect your energy & realign with YourSelf.

Are you looking for more clarity and direction? Do you feel like you need a little 'time out' yet seeking guidance? Come join us for a magical time in a small group..!

*** Open to ALL - Beginners welcome! ***


Joining other like-minded people and coming together for a couple of hours in a circle in a sacred space to connect can be a magical experience on its own. This time, you're invited to join a unique Cacao Ceremony Retreat experience, give your Self a much-needed time out and connect through the help of lovingly & specially prepared Ceremonial Cacao, light breathwork and beautiful meditations to help you open your heart, let go and release as well as to get clearer on what might be stopping you evolve and on your intentions of how to move forward in your life.

The lovely Kriss will be holding sacred space for you and her calm, clear, comforting & warm approach along with soothing sounds and the subtle yet beautiful powers of the Cacao plant will make you feel at ease and ready to connect with your inner world.
Kriss is passionate about all things related to health, wellbeing, self-growth, shamanic & sound healing practices, quantum & energy healing and life itself. She is an experienced health & wellbeing coach and also a certified Nutritional Therapist and has been in the health and wellbeing space for almost 10 years. (Read more about her in the Biography section)


Inspiring people and supporting them transforming their lives on their journey of (inner) healing, growth and self development in what Kriss enjoys and does from her heart.
There will be other elements to help you connect and tune in, such as beautiful sounds of Tibetan singing bowls. Cacao is considered a powerful heart-opener that can help us raise our frequencies, awareness and consciousness, so we vibrate from the frequency of love. Indigenous people recognise the Spirit the Cacao plant holds and therefore have been honouring it with respect, appreciation and gratitude for centuries. Ceremonial Cacao has been used as a plant medicine for thousands of years.


Cacao (meaning raw and unprocessed) is also considered a superfood, is high in antioxidants & minerals (e.g. magnesium, iron, chromium and others) and helps the body produce higher levels of so- called 'bliss chemicals' (e.g. Serotonin and Anandamide). It is a non-psychoactive plant that can be consumed by almost everyone* (*please see “Cautions & Things to note” below!)


Feedback & Client Testimonials:
" I felt: Dreamy * Relaxed * Happy * Warm * Peaceful * Grounded * Released * Energised * Wow! What an experience! It was just what I needed!" -- Feedback from several clients after the Ceremonies & Retreats
“Thank you so much Kriss for the amazing Cacao Ceremony last night. I felt called to join your ceremony and felt like I needed to release stored up emotions in order to open my heart again and I obviously did...” -– Alex, London
“Thank you beautiful soul for holding the space , guiding us through some complex issues & shining the love & light.” –- Naomi, London


This event is for you if you are:
• keen to take some time out for yourself, retreat & connect with your inner world, release and raise your vibrations
• new to meditation, breathwork and using plant medicines such as raw cacao to explore consciousness more
• wanting to move forward in life by exploring aspects of yourself (e.g. your dreams and desires, what's holding you back, your inner child, etc) that may help you forward on your path of healing and processing trauma


*Cautions & Things to note:
