Saturday Afternoon - Solstice Shamanic Journey with Cacao - Portal Activation with Virginia Parades

For thousands of years, people have gathered during solstices and equinoxes to honour the turning of the seasons, the power of the sun, and our own spiral path through life.

On the Summer Solstice, when light reaches its peak, a portal opens: a threshold between what has been and what is ready to emerge.

Together, we gather to honour this moment through ceremonial cacao and a gentle guided shamanic journey — a space to unravel, reflect, release what no longer serves, and create space for new beginnings.

In this intimate group setting, we begin with ceremonial cacao to softly open the body and heart. From there, you will be guided into a shamanic journey: an inner exploration where images, sensations and symbols may arise, offering insight, clarity and connection to your inner world.

This is a space to pause.
To soften.
To listen.
To reconnect...

With the wisdom already within you.

This cacao and shamanic journey session forms part of the Summer Solstice Pilgrimage event. If you are curious about the full Summer Solstice Pilgrimage, feel free to enquire.

Monday afternoon - Nourish & Bloom: A Rose Womb afternoon for women with Amiya Pilar 

This is a space for women to slow down and come home to themselves.

Through somatic practices, embodied movement, guided visualisation, and the medicine of the rose, you will be invited to soften your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and connect with the wisdom of the womb space.

This gathering is open to all women, with or without a physical womb. We will be exploring the womb as an energetic and sacred centre, a space of intuition, creativity, feeling, and inner knowing.

Guided by the rose, an ancient symbol of the feminine, strength and beauty. 

This afternoon is not about doing more. It is about receiving more of yourself. Come ready to bloom, as nature herself moves towards her fullest expression at the summer solstice. 

Things to bring/materials required:  

• A cushion to sit on

• A yoga mat or sheepskin/rug to lie down on

• A water bottle

• A journal and pen

• Comfortable clothes that allow you to relax and move freely

• Please let me know in advance if you will need a yoga mat, cushion, or have any other needs. Chairs can be provided if required, so you can be as comfortable and supported as possible during the session.
