Sound Immersion, Cacao, & Drum Circle

Sound Immersion, Cacao, & Drum Circle, an alchemical sound journey with a guided circle of intentional manifestation, where the group shares cacao, breathes, harmonises, drums, chants, dances and creates together taking positive action towards a greater purpose for themselves and those in your circle.

Arrival, Teaching & Sharing

On arrival we’ll begin with guided teaching, leaning into a conversation and sharing of the energetic theme relevant to the session. Here, we’ll set intentions and align ourselves with the purpose collectively and to suit your journey. then we’ll move deeper into the ceremony with cacao

Cacao

What a beautiful way to share the spirit, with a super unique cacao ceremony with 100% raw ceremonial grade and blessed Peruvian cacao unwatered down for full potency, followed by a maple syrup shot as a blessing to compliment the medicine with a burst of extra goodness. This is a taste and body sensation and a unique way of sharing cacao. then to sound. (See below for more on cacao)

Sound Meditation

A sound journey through the ceremony of ‘natural alchemy’ is an intuitive experience of beautiful harmonics aimed at enabling one with a connection to the divine spirit to trigger one’s inner guidance, discover stillness within, a state of immersed bliss and healing vibrations.

Instruments are respectfully integrated from alternate cultures, many of which are made in ceremony through an alchemical process by Brad himself. The journey offered flows through channelled messages, vocal toning, harmonising, breathwork, a complete earth frequency crystal bowl set, chimes, ceremonial rattles, Tibetan singing bowls, yidaki (didgeridoo), guzheng (traditional Chinese harp), handpan, traditional ceremonial medicine drums and vegan drums. Live recording and looping are also integrated into the journey.

Oh, sacred geometry and large pyramids made from copper, silver, gold, and crystals will be woven into the space for a little extra alchemy to amplify the blissful state and help it become part of your being.

Energy Field or Auric Movement Transition

Moving out of the in-depth sound activation we’ll ease into full consciousness and be guided to move out of our inner journey of sound and allowing all that goodness to integrate with our everyday awareness. Starting with gentle stretching and eventually getting up and exploring your energy / auric field with movement. From here we even notice each other’s energy and move together in a silent dance of energy. This is a truly delightful and beautiful experience that naturally progresses from our accumulated journey so far

Drumming

Into the next phase, we’ll ease into a circle of co-creation, and pick up medicine drums, join in with the mother pow-wow drum, clapping sticks, rattles, or an instrument you’ve brought yourself. After a short intro/instruction, we find a rhythm together and create sound. This is creative, gentle & powerful, big energy that is a seed to bring what we’ve created into a transformative state that you can readily take into your own life in the everyday world and use for a better alignment to your purpose! This sounds big, it is! And we’ll do it easily, all together!

Closing Circle

We’ll wind down into a closing circle, honouring our experience and sharing our stories as we prepare to move out into the world to make a difference.

More on Cacao

Specific varieties of organic cacao taken in its pure form, treated at low temperatures without excessive refined sugars provide a very different and incredible product. Cacao is a superfood in itself, the caffeine and theobromine are stimulants; mixed in with polyphenols, antioxidants, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium, and manganese.

This aids in health benefits including balancing mood swings, cardiovascular health, fatigue reduction, glowing skin, and improving digestion, and cognitive function. Anti-inflammatory properties and it’s an aphrodisiac.

Cacao aids in the release of serotonin, anandamide and phenylethylamine which provide all that blissful goodness.

Cacao vs cocoa or refined chocolates.

Many have it as chocolate with small amounts of cacao farmed in low-nutrient areas roasted at high temperatures, often with more refined sugar and other additives. Although it tastes great, it doesn’t make it very healthy.

Contra-Indications

For the ceremony, we have a high dosage, which is fine occasionally. if you have a heart condition or are taking antidepressants advise Brad to modify the serving
