Autumn Equinox Ceremony

Autumn Equinox Ceremony

Prayer | Cacao | Dance | Shamanic Blessing

Community, Integration, Prayer, and Gratitude - that’s the spirit of our upcoming Celebration Ritual on the Autumn Equinox on 21st September in the Mandala Studios.

Autumn Equinox is a beautiful time of transition. It is a still point when the day and night are in perfect harmony and balance. It is a potent time to reflect, set intentions, and prepare for the new season of introspection.

I am very honoured to have my Dear Friend Deividas bring his Beautiful Munayki Prayer medicine where He will open our Sacred Space inspired by Andes cosmology and Traditions for us to Reflect and ask for Guidance and Support.

Along his Side, my Beloved sister Raimonda will take us on a journey with Cacao Medicine. We will have a potent ceremonial dose of a very special Keith’s Cacao for everyone to connect on a deeper level with our Hearts and our Bodies setting an intention for ourselves and the Dance ahead of us.

As Gabriel Roth says, “Sweat Your Prayer.” We will Dance our Intentions and Prayers, tapping into the depths of our Hearts and surrendering into our bodies. I will guide you to connect to your Inner rhythm, to find your Flow in listening and expressing what’s here and now in this present moment.

We will close the evening with Shamanic blessing by Deividas where we will integrate our intentions and Prayers.

Guidance on the Dance Floor:

• No shoes in the space. Bear feet Dancing enhances the senses.
• Bring a water bottle with you to stay hydrated.
• Wear comfortable clothes.
• No talking on the Dance Floor.
• It’s a nonjudgmental space, where you can come as you are.
• Respect each other, and each other's space.

Cacao Ceremony Disclaimer and Precautions:
Our goal is to create a safe and nurturing space for everyone. To help ensure that, here are some important precautions and considerations to keep in mind:

Friendly Precautions:

Heart Health:Cacao is known to naturally open the heart, but it can also stimulate it. If you have heart conditions or high blood pressure, consider starting with a smaller amount and proceed mindfully.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding:Cacao can have stimulating effects. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure it's safe for you and your baby.

Mental Health & Medications:If you're taking antidepressants or other mental health medications, particularly MAO inhibitors, cacao may interact with them. We recommend checking in with your doctor before the ceremony.

Diabetes:Cacao can affect blood sugar levels. If you're managing diabetes, monitor how you feel during the ceremony and adjust accordingly.

Kidney & Liver Conditions:Cacao contains oxalates, which can impact the kidneys and liver. If you have any related conditions, it's a good idea to speak with your healthcare provider to assess if cacao is right for you.

Allergies:If you have any known allergies to cacao, chocolate, or any other ingredients, please let us know. Your safety is our top priority.

Cacao Dosage:Ceremonial cacao is potent. If this is your first experience or you have health concerns, starting with a smaller dose is recommended. We’re here to guide you through it.

Stay Hydrated:Cacao acts as a mild diuretic, so it’s important to drink plenty of water before and after the ceremony to stay hydrated.

Emotional Journey:Cacao can lead to deep emotional exploration. If you experience intense emotions during the ceremony, know that this is a safe space, and we are here to support you.

Eat Early:Cacao is best consumed on an empty stomach. We recommend having a meal earlier in the day or enjoying light snacks before the ceremony.
