Join us for a Scorpio Full Moon Cacao & Movement Ceremony on Sunday, May 7th, 2023. 4:15-6:00 PM at 35 Rue Saint Roch, Paris 75015

Full Moon is the time for releasing what no longer serves us and also about celebrating our small wins.

With the eclipse, retrograde and the upcoming Scorpio full moon, it's definitely a for transformation change and introspection. It is an invitation for us to see somethings through, feeling a sense of completion. What in you life are you ready to let go of? Scorpio rules the sacrum and reproductive organs where our creativity and passions live and nurtured and where also a lot of our deep seated wounds and unacknowledged emotions can be stored. Scorpio is the sign of Life, Death and Rebirth. Witnessing everything go and seeing what remains. It can be quite overwhelming at times, which is why we lean into the power of community, gathering together for support with our healing tools and rituals to assist us whenever we feel the need to be grounded.

In this circle, you will be guided through a transformative journey of deep relaxation, meditation and connection with yourself and others. With the heart opening properties if cacao and healing support of breathwork, movement & sound, you will be invited to release any physical or emotional blockages that are holding you back and find a renewed sense of peace and clarity.

We will be holding space and guiding you through the whole practice, all you have to do is to arrive, breathe, relax and surrender.

with love and gratitude,
Fiona & Princesshadassa

Tensing and Releasing...

Contract and Expand.

Full moon is the time for releasing what no longer serves us and also about celebrating our small wins. While the season of Aries is about the vibration of "Me", Libra helps us connect with the frequency of " We".

Finding balance between Self and our relationship with others. Where, when, how are we too closed off? Where and when are we too open?

Embodied Practice:

• Starting from the feet, lower legs, upper legs, all the way up to your hips, belly, shoulder, face and head, contract and expand.

• Tensing with the in-breath and Releasing with the out-breath.

• Now bringing the awareness to all parts of your body, where do you feel the tension most?

• Where do you feel more open?

• Can you release a little bit more of the tension where you're holding it the most? Are there any tensed parts that came up but you werent aware of before or didnt pay attention to?

• And can you be more mindful of where you are too open, opening softly and gently but not too much? Just enough to keep the harmony inbetween the contraction and expansion.

• Now let's try again... What change do you notice?

Thank you .pearl.a for leading the ceremony tonight and for sharing that tension release exercise, what a beautiful way to let go… and open up to the beautiful possibilities that are yet to come our way.

“The womb us not a place to store fear and pain; the womb is to create and give birth to life.”

One way of honoring this is to release fear and judgement to self and others, so we may embrace freedom. Release pain, so we may embrace joy. Release anger and resentment, so we may embrace compassion. Release sadness, so we may embrace peace.

The womb keeper’s lineage invites us to heal our womb. Let's heal our womb; let's heal our mother's, sister's, and daughter's wombs. In this way, let's offer healing to Mother Earth and all living beings.
- The Rite of the Womb.

Feeling the spaciousness and appreciating the breath of fresh air here in the South of France. Its good to be out of the busy-ness and the stimulation sometimes. But also learning a lot of patience and compassion whilst living the intense city life. Finding balance in lower and higher chakras. Not neglecting nor resisting. Not bypassing. Just witnessing and moving through it all.

Wishing you Bright and Sunny days (internally, most importantly) wherever you are in the world. Om-Namah Shivaya!

After four months of moving to Paris, we are starting to grow roots in the city and commune with like minded people. Our first in-person Cacao-Yin-Sound Ceremony happened yesterday together with led by the beautiful and energetic .

What a meaningful time spent with amazing human beings. Most were new to Cacao Ceremony but everyone shared a love for Chocolates. Indeed we are bridging the “old and the new”, the future ancients... Soo much gratitude to the land, people and keepers of knowledge & wisdom passed down from the ancestors, teachers and guides. Gratitude to the ones open to receive… in community.

Gratitude to Cacao, Nature and Mother Earth for calling us to come back home, in our hearts.

Welcoming discomforts in every transition and acknowleding that they are only growth pains not sufferring, releasing guilt, learning lessons with humility, hearts remain open and the mind is still. Making space for new experiences and for our souls expansion.

Here are some journal prompts inspired by ritual designer and creative facilitator, . Since half of 2022 went by soo quickly, this reflection practise for the midpoint of the year could be just as important as our New Year’s intentions/resolution. Tiu’s work has been an inspiration for designing our rituals and ceremonies when we were just starting off, send a DM for the 3 stages of mapping your path through 2022.

We are taking a pause on our monthly virtual gathering with .awaken this New Moon in Cancer, the season of rest, going in, honoring home, family, the rawness of emotions and Divine Feminine. Being present with our immediate home, our body and closest loved-ones is also a ritual and a practice.

We hope to see you again for our next gatherings. Next one will be about Practicing Presence by active listening and witnessing. We cant wait to share it with you.

New Moon Blessings and Happy Mid summer or winter whereever you are!🌸

What feelings, thoughts, sensations are present for you at the moment?

Simplicity.
Movement.
Strong Senses.
Excitement.
Strength.
Confusion.
Observation.

What is really present for us at the moment is the strong aromas of this Davao de Oro origin that we kept from last year’s harvest in April.

Notes are:
Earthy.
Woody.
Herbaceous.
Spicy.

Feels:
• Grounding.
• Warm.
• Home.
• Grandpa smoking cigar or any type of plant/weed in the Sala.

The beauty of aging cacao brings more complex aroma and taste.

Have you tried aging your stash?
Will you try?
We invite you to do so!
Let us know? 🤗

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there.

A mother’s love can be nurturing, unconditional and sometimes she can be tough too…

Like Mama Cacao, she will lead you to all the doors of possibilities (light and shadow) but she will not push you in.

We all have different stories and relationships with our mothers, some sweet, some bitter, perhaps bittersweet for others.

With the medicine of Mother Earth and Mama Cacao, may we continue to keep opening our hearts to love, real love that is non-judgemental, giving, nurturing and allowing.

Aho.

And so it is.

Love is not only getting all that rainbows and butterflies feelings, not only about giving and receiving gifts, seeking admiration and validation, not only looking out but in. Love can also be simply looking at our own healing and being there for the healing of others and the whole. So we feel complete as an individual so we can stop carrying our wounded inner child while seeking a partner to mother our wounds. Love is healing.

——————
The many faces/phases of healing.
It is not a race or competition of whichever or whoever comes first. What matters is that we take time to heal ourselves, our community and our planet.

When my partner saw me making a poster about our upcoming Valentine’s Day Cacao Ceremony for Self-love and Planetary Healing, he made an odd reaction to the phrase “Planetary Healing” he thinks its too much and its a term that is not grounded and it didnt land well to him and for sure not many could get it as well. I didnt know how to explain it to him in 3D form and it almost pushed my trigger buttons of becoming defensive, I am right you are wrong, how dare you judge me, I am “Saving the Planet” and an arguement was about to start again had I tried to explain my point of what planetary healing means to me and my community.

Instead of fighting, I saw an opportunity of actually going into the roots of what Healing really means in different levels.

Our own healing - for some of us this happens when we reach a certain point in our lives when we realize that we are in deep trouble and the only way out is to go in. Introspection. Knowing the deeper meaning of life, etc. So we start our healing journey. It takes soo much work to really get to the buttom of it so we either go deeper and get into bigger Existential Crisis or we tap out and say who needs healing when there’s easier fix like s*x, drugs and alcohol. But because these are temporary fixes, we find ourselves getting into the same situation, same problems after we dealth with the hungover.

This is when we finally see the importance of our own healing. And we commit to it no matter how big and frequent the ups and downs are going to be.
