What is a Woman Circle?
A heart-led circle open to those who would like to express themselves in a safe space without any judgement. Exploring, Learning, discovering and being 💕

A space for self discovery, love and care of yourself in a space of no judgement to be truly and deeply yourself. 💌

Circle Guidelines: 🆘
🌸 everything that is shared in the circle remains only in that room between everyone present. We don't share or discuss anything anyone said outside of this space.
🌼 speak from the heart: we speak/share to just express ourselves. Not to find or receive answers from others. There is no need to worry if what you're saying out loud makes sense, because the intention is for you to just speak from the heart rather than be understood by others.
🌸 when sharing, focus on sharing from first person. Starting with 'I' is a good tip, avoiding statements that use 'we, us, they, people'. Taking responsibility for your own opinions, beliefs and views. Share from your own point of view and own your experiences.
🌼 only share when you feel called to. You aren't forced to ever be, say or do anything you don't want to. You are in control, so only ever contribute when you truly feel the call to do so.
🌸 listen from the heart: attentively, without judgement, without interrupting and without giving unwanted advice. This is not a time to plan what you say, but simply to listen and be present.

What is Heart Opening Cacao?
(not cocoa or hot chocolate you might think of)
Cacao is an amazing heart opening medicine. It consist of many minerals, magnesium and anti-oxidants that it will relax your muscles and tissues. Dropping from the mind to the heart. From thinking to feeling. The spirit of cacao ceremonies, invite you to come home to yourself. Coming back into alignment. 🌸 Thanking the Mayan ancestors for the knowledge, history and rituals they bring to our life. Honouring their wisdom and teachings, honouring nature and all it teaches us, honouring ourselves for all we bring into this world.

It doesn't matter if it will be your first time, or hundredth time drinking cacao, you will be fully guided. It isn't a psychedelic either.

We will be using Cacao made by the Rukuxulew collective, which is 100% Mayan owned. Sourced premium ceremonial grade cacao from Alta Verapaz, Guatemala and process it in San Marcos La Laguna, on the shores of Lake Atitlan. Each bean is fermented, sun-dried, lightly roasted and peeled by hand.
