THE SOUND SCHOOL, OLD PRINT WORKS. MOSELEY ROAD. BIRMINGHAM, B12 9AH
ceremony & breathwork
Cacao Ceremony
We begin the journey by drinking some ceremonial cacao together, setting intentions and connecting with the beautiful & delicious plant medicine.
Cacao has been used in ceremony for thousands of years by Indigenous cultures to support spiritual connection. It is a beautiful heart-opening medicine, releasing emotional blockages and aiding emotional healing.
You will be guided into a gentle breathwork and somatic meditation exercise to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a deep sense of grounding and calm.
somatic moving meditation
Embodied Movement
Together we will journey with music into intuitive embodied movement, connecting with our life-force energy in moving meditation. You will be guided through this somatic experience, journeying into deep states of meditation with free-flow conscious movement to deep organic beats.
Through this deep connection with the body, we are able to connect with our authentic energy, releasing emotional blocks, tuning into our intuition and experiencing elevated states of consciousness.
This grounding practice can help you cultivate gratitude, self-love and confidence whilst helping to release stagnant energy, anxiety and stress. We invite you to close your eyes during this practice in order to get the most out of the experience.
reflection & introspection
Relaxation Meditation
You will be guided into a relaxing meditation, connecting with breath and bringing awareness to the sensations in the body.
Here you are invited to explore your inner world, processing any emotions, visions or insights that came up for you during your embodied movement journey. This is a opportunity for deep relaxation, release and rejuvenation.
You are welcome to bring your journal to record your insights through freeflow writing.

Your Guides
We're Krissi & Drew and we'll be guiding your Embodied Cacao Journey.
Krissi has been practicing yoga and meditation for 15 years and gained her yoga teacher certification in India, 2020. She's passionate about sharing the power of embodied intuitive movement; "We're conditioned to live in our heads instead of tuning into our bodies. This leads to overwhelm, stress and a disconnect from our innate wisdom. Embodiment practices such as mindful movement & body awareness allow us to get out of our heads, tuning into the magic & wisdom of our vessels."
Drew is a yoga teacher and has been practicing yoga and meditation for 8 years. He is passionate about the power of nervous system regulation through breath, movement and meditation. "Having the tools to regulate the nervous system is a powerful way to cultivate and maintain a sense of grounding and peace within ourselves. These tools help us move through a space where we were once stuck. This can lead to a journey of self discovery, self awareness and expansion of consciousness."
