A Sunday to Soften ~ Cacao Ceremony, Yin Yoga and Chanting

With Aoife from Ancient Soul Healing

A space to unwind, breathe deeper, soften into yourselfand simply be.

Throughout our time together, I’ll weave in beautiful poetry and moments of reflectionto create a space that feels warm, peaceful and held.
There will be no pressure to perform, achieve or be anything other than exactly
where you are.
Many people find these practices deeply relaxing and leave feeling lighter, calmer and more connected to themselves.

Chanting and Sacred Song: 

Chanting is a simple and beautiful way of using the voice to connect with ourselves and with one another. Through repetition, breath, rhythm and vibration we’ll explore simple chants and sacred songs together, allowing the vibration of the voice to awaken the body, open the heart and invite a sense of joy and connection.

No singing experience is needed. There is no “right” voice and no need to sing loudly — you are simply invited to listen, join in and explore the experience of using your
own voice.

Yin Yoga practice: 

Yin is a feeling-based practice of resting into poses and allowing the body to gradually soften. All poses are floor-based (no standing). The longer, passive holds invite us to slow down, listen inwardly and explore sensation without forcing or striving. Yin encourages us to listen to the body, release muscular tension and cultivate a deeper sense of presence. It is often described as a practice of surrender.

Ceremonial Cacao:

Traditionally used as a sacred plant medicine and often referred to as the “Food of the Gods” or the “Sacred Seed.” We will share a gentle dose of 25g of raw, organic, single-origin ceremonial cacao, taking time to slow down, connect with the senses and arrive fully in the present moment. Cacao is highly nourishing, it contains naturally occurring compounds such as theobromine, magnesium, iron and antioxidants. Its gentle stimulant effect can create a sense of warmth and presence, inviting us to soften, listen inward and reconnect with ourselves
