Cacao & Ecstatic Dance Ceremony

  • Exhale Yoga Studio 35 Hastings Street Napier, Hawke's Bay, 4110 New Zealand (map)

Cacao & Dance!

Join us in a celebration of Love. A day to honour Love, Romance, Beauty, Intimacy and Connection, with Self, Friends and Beloveds.

This dance was scheduled to be offered on Valentines Day originally but had to be postponed because of the cyclone. Now we are delighted to let it come to fruition!

Supported by the heart opening nourishment and aphrodisiac qualities of ceremonial cacao bring forth the authentic aliveness and playfulness that resides here…

Sacred Cacao Ceremony with Ceremonial cacao, rose petals and blue lotus:

Cacao is a potent plant medicine which helps us to connect to Mother Earth, to ground us, to bring us in touch with our feminine side and our inner landscape. In sacred Ceremony we give thanks, set personal intentions and amplify our energy as a group, celebrating togetherness. Cacao also increases our circulation and provides us with greater energy and connection to our physical bodies, the perfect companion to ecstatic conscious dance.

Rose Petals are associated with love and the heart and will be added to this special cacao brew. Blue lotus essential oil will be provided to anoint yourself with for an extra sensory experience.

Conscious Dance:

This modality is of movement and connection with your body, supported by music. Carly will guide you - taking you through a “wave” of sound, you are invited to orient toward your unique self, releasing from your system through intuitive movement.

Such liberation to be supported on a body led journey where your mind can ease off the steering wheel for a time - inviting bliss and ecstasy as a lived experience and your true home.

Let your body lead the way - welcome your weird

Surrender to the wisdom of your body and breath – and be guided back toward your original wholeness.

When: Saturday 22nd April 5.30pm - 7.30pm
Where: Exhale Studio, 35 Hastings Street, Napier
