Shamanic Circle & Drum Journey with Cacao
Description
Facilitated by Naomi Brooks - Roots Of The Earth
A ceremonial evening inside the sacred Crystal Arcana Temple — a space to pause, breathe, reconnect, and remember. Each gathering is shaped by the season, the energy of the land, and what is present in our collective hearts. Through Cacao, Circle, and Drum Journey, we honour the turning of the wheel and the wisdom that arises when we sit together in sacred space.
About the Ceremony
You are invited to join Naomi, founder of Roots of the Earth and Crystal Arcana, for an intimate evening of grounding, reflection, and connection.
These ceremonies shift with the seasons, offering a handmade blend of ritual, intention, and earth-based practice to meet you exactly where you are.
We gather in circle to anchor our intentions, connect with our guides, and listen deeply to what is stirring within us and around us. With the steady heartbeat of the drum and the warmth of cacao, we journey inward — opening to clarity, guidance, release, and renewal in whatever form is needed.
Each ceremony becomes a moment to honour change, welcome insight, and attune to the cycles that shape our inner and outer worlds.

About The Spaces I Hold
These Circles are created to bring people together in a safe, supportive space — to cultivate community and connection with other conscious souls. It’s a space to remember that you are not alone on your path.
The container I hold is sacred, rooted in Shamanism, Animism, and deep reverence for the Earth and her guides. We begin by calling in the elements, our altar, and our intentions, creating a space where you can feel safe to express whatever arises.
We’ll work with the medicine of Cacao, a gentle heart-opener, to ground into presence and open channels for deeper healing and connection.
This experience will meet you where you are. It can be as soft or as transformational as you’re ready for — the invitation is simply to come with an open mind, an open heart, and trust in the process.

- What is Cacao or Drum Journey?
Cacao
Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is a sacred plant medicine from Central and South America, traditionally used in ceremony to open the heart, uplift the spirit, and deepen connection.
Unlike common chocolate, ceremonial cacao is a pure raw food, and retains its natural theobromine content — a gentle cardiovascular stimulant that increases blood flow and releases feel-good neurochemicals.Cacao is not psychoactive but can create a warm, euphoric, heart-centred state when consumed intentionally.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking antidepressant medication, please let us know — we can serve you a half dose or herbal alternative.
Shamanic Drum Journey
A drum journey is an ancient meditative practice used across many cultures to access altered states of awareness through rhythmic drumming.
The steady beat helps the brain shift into theta waves, a state of deep relaxation and intuitive insight.In this state, you may receive visions, sensations, or symbolic guidance. There is no “right” way to journey — simply lie back, breathe, and let the sound carry you.
