Autumn Equinox
Event description
We are excited to create another weekend container inviting you in to reconnect with the cycles of the earth 💚 reconnect with the elements 💚
with spirit 💚 with yourselves 💚
By honouring nature and her seasons may we all remember and reignite the connection with Mother Earth helping you create a mutual relationship of giving and receiving as various ancient indigenous cultures teach us to live in harmony with Pachamama ❤️
A remembering to embody the gifts and beauty of our higher self - our unshakable wise spirit - as we mirror ourselves with the abundant beauty of the property at Etna creek.
This is an opportunity to reflect and feel what is holding you back in life and then we shed and release with the energy of the season.
Remembering the value of rituals and ceremony, immersing your heart and soul in deep listening in nature and with sacred fire we re calibrate our nervous system, we relax, we nurture the mind, body and spirit 💚
Remaining mostly outdoors we will be creating a little village, sitting in sacred space beside our brothers and sisters in the ways our ancient foremothers and fathers did.
A day of reconnection, embodiment practices , sound healing and plant medicine in sacred ceremonies with ceremonial grade Cacao 💚 Assisting is to anchor in to the new dreaming, raising our vibrations to feel more aligned with the new earth and its high frequencies.

ABOUT DRINKING CACAO AS A PLANT MEDICINE:
This specific pure ceremonial cacao “Keith’s Cacao” is very different from the usual “chocolate” we are used to consume. It’s pure, organic and the entire process is manually taken care with deep respect, love and honouring the spirit of the cacao plant as “The Food of the Gods”, from local people in Guatemala - you will feel the huge difference once you drink it this way!
Cacao is a super food, rich in antioxidants with numerous health benefits. It does graciously enhances the good natural love & bliss chemicals of the one’s physical body; theobromine cacao stimulates the cardiovascular system, increases brain oxygenation and offers a light sense of euphoria and heart opening, while brings the rational and intuitive mind in to perfect balance & synergy.
As a plant medicine, cacao is a great partner to combine with many embodiment and consciousness expansion practices to “facilitate the shifts”, if that’s where you want to go – so, having clear intentions is key!
IMPORTANT: Ceremonial dose of Cacao is not recommended for people who are taking antidepressants (Cacao contains MAO inhibitors), people with serious heart condition or with very high blood pressure. Pregnant women and breastfeeding mummas may take half dose. Always check with your body how much you need on the day.
