Inner Alchemy Day Retreat - Awakening to Radiance

January is the month for rest, dreaming, and suspending time. A time to invite in the nourishing depth of winter to nurture ourselves and our future dreams in the peaceful darkness, but equally a time to compost what no longer serves us and create a fertile environment for our dreams to blossom!

As we slowly head back towards the light, join me for a day retreat to slowly start to unfurl from our winter cocoons and begin composting what no longer serves us and calling in our greatest dreams for the year ahead.

The Inner Alchemy Day Retreat will be focussed on opening your heart up to more of which your heart yearns for… more fun, joy, adventure, excitement, love and anything else your heart desires!

The day’s journey will begin with Rebirthing Breathwork to create a clean slate and release outdated mental templates that we carry. We will then spend time considering what we would like to call in this year, followed by a Heart Opening Cacao Ceremony and Shamanic Reiki Drum Sound Journey to embed your dreams and seeds for the year ahead.

What to Expect:

Rebirthing Breathwork: Breathwork is a powerful modality to create a deeper connection to your body’s own natural healing power and offers you a reset button for your nervous system, creating safety to release old stories and limiting beliefs, allowing you to come back into your heart and into a renewed version of yourself.

Lunch: Light Lunch in the Café at Santosa

Affirmations - With the support of Oracle Cards, we wills spend time creating an affirmation for the Cacao Ceremony and Reiki Drumming Sound Journey. Affirmations are powerful words that support us in changing our thoughts and our belief, so we can live the life we want to live.

Cacao Ceremony: Together we will drink Ceremonial cacao together, allowing our intentions to infuse with the loving heart opening energy of Cacao and open our hearts to the transformation we wish to create.

Shamanic Reiki Drum: We will continue the journey deeper into our hearts whilst the sound of the drum takes us into a space of deep relaxation and recalibration to receive our intentions.

Afternoon Tea: Enjoy community Tea and Cake in the Café at Santosa (this is not included in the retreat exchange)

Your Facilitator:

Fionn is a Trauma Alchemist and Shamanic Priestess, with over 15 years of experience in energy work and her intention is to support deep personal transformation so that we can reclaim our most aligned selves through various Shamanic and somatic practices. Fionn is a certified Rebirthing Breathwork Practitioner and her own experience with Breathwork has been life-changing and feels inspired to share the wisdom of the medicine we hold within ourselves. The power of our breath. She is also a Certified Cacao Practitioner and holds this powerful medicine in deep reverence and feels called to weave her heart opening magic into her ceremonies.

Benefits of Breathwork:

In our lives we have all experienced events that we have not been able to fully process, and this stress / trauma / tension becomes stored in our bodies. This can manifest in physical symptoms, mental and emotional conditions that prevent you from living your life to the fullest.

Rebirthing Breathwork (Conscious Connected Breathwork Practice) helps you to release any stored emotions and trauma, allowing you to awaken your body, rejuvenate your spirit, and reconnect with your authentic self.

Breathwork can also be a soul vehicle that reconnects you to your path.

What is Cacao?

Cacao is a heart-opening non-psychoactive plant medicine and is one of the many tools available that can help us tune into who we really are. She supports us in softening our hearts so we can move from fear to love and connect with our inner wisdom. Drinking Cacao in its purest form allows a deeper connection to ourselves our intuition and inner guidance, which leaves you loved up (with yourself), empowered, and in your heart.

We will be working with delicious Peruvian ceremonial grade Criolla Cacao, directly sourced from ancient Cacao gardens in the Rio Ene Region of Peru.

Drinking Cacao is optional. Please do speak to me about other options.

IMPORTANT: If you wish to drink Cacao, please read here. Whilst Cacao is generally safe for everyone, there are some contraindications, and it is important that you are informed.

Shamanic Drumming:

The rhythmical beating of a drum is one of the oldest practices of humankind and a powerful approach that promotes health and well-being. When the body attunes to the supportive resonance of the drum, you begin to switch off and drift into deeper relaxation, assisting the body in releasing any deep-seated stress and tension and bringing the body back to its optimum vibration.

Drumming has so many powerful benefits, including reducing anxiety, quietening our minds, helping us to relax and deepen our breath, helping to release old energy that has become blocked in our body and energy system, and overall, it can boost our immune system.

IMPORTANT: Drumming is safe and beneficial for most people; however, drumming is not suitable if you are pregnant, have epilepsy, have a pacemaker or have tinnitus.
