Full Moon in Leo - Astrological Cacao Ceremony

  • YogaBodyWorks 1/204 King St Newcastle, NSW, 2300 Australia (map)

Join Gabby Vinden (yoga teacher, reike practitioner, pranayama trainer, holistic dietitian, cacao facilitator) & Benjamin MacGregor (astrologer, life coach, yoga teacher, pranayama trainer) for a journey into the heart.

Ceremonial grade cacao is an ancient powerful plant medicine that (with intention) helps open the heart chakra allowing you to deeply connect to yourself. Cacao has the ability to connect you to your inner spirit allowing wisdom, truth and clarity to flow through giving you a deeper understanding of who you are and what you truly wish to create.

This full moon is all about self love and self expression. The vibrant sign of Leo who is ruled by the sun gives us a sunshine like radiance and really lights us up from the inside, out. Shining a light for those things that have been glooming over us in darkness for the last few months.

In the lead up to this full moon our self awareness has been extremely heightened. It’s likely you have been feeling like you’re wanting to express yourself more freely. This is the time to close those chapters of self doubt so you can do exactly that.

This workshop includes a personalized astrological chart interpretation of how this full moon will affect you individually. Please send through your exact time of birth, place of birth and full name to Ben at coffeepunx@gmail.com at least 48 hours before the ceremony for this personalized reading. You can still attend the workshop without doing this.

Cosmically full moons are a time to completely put behind us the things that don’t serve us anymore and step into new perspectives and goals.

The Moon is an archetype of emotions. She governs the ebb and flow of our moods, feelings and needs. Our lunar nature is concerned with feeling safe, secure and content and the Moon’s movement through the zodiac can describe how we create our sense of inner security.

Each full moon cacao ceremony is unique depending on the zodiac of the full moon and the energy in the room. Some of the healing modalities offered in ceremony include breathwork, visualization, meditation, movement, releasing work, manifestation work, art therapy, chakra work, inner child work, connection activities & journaling.

Join us for a transformative evening. You will guided to connect to your intuition & release what no longer serves you.

Extra information:

- Avoid consuming caffeine, soy or dairy later in the day as it can inhibit the effects of cacao.

- It is best not to eat for a couple of hours before the ceremony we encourage either having an early dinner or eating after the ceremony is complete as the cacao works best on an emptystomach.

- The cacao will be vegan and organic.

- Make sure you wear comfy clothes.

- Please arrive on time so we can maximize our time with this powerful elixr.
