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.
