sweet dreams - return to flow

Cacao, Somatic Flow and Sound Circle

You’re warmly invited into a gently paced circle, a space to pause, soften, and reconnect with yourself, held by Caroline, a trauma counsellor, somatic movement and sound therapist and Lynne, a mindbody coach and physiotherapist.

This is a small and intimate gathering with only 6 spaces, allowing for a depth of attention and care within the group.

We begin by sharing cacao together, a simple and grounding way to open the heart and arrive more fully into the body. This is not a ceremony, but it is rooted in ritual. A humble way of gathering, where attention and intention shape the space.

From here, you’ll be guided into a bespoke therapeutic sound journey inspired by a return to flow, designed to stimulate the dream state. This process can support altered states of awareness, where the body, mind, and inner world begin to communicate in different ways.

Resting comfortably, you’ll be held within a carefully woven soundscape of music, rhythm, and vibration, alongside voice work that arises in the moment. These sounds may move beyond words and are felt within the body, supporting release, reorganisation, and a gentle settling of the system.

The body may move, release, dream, or become still. Each experience unfolds in its own way.

There is the option of gentle, skilful touch, always offered with consent, to support grounding and a deeper sense of connection within the body.

I think of this as temple time. A stepping out of the usual pace of life and into something more spacious and attentive. The session is intentionally paced, allowing time to settle, to receive, and to integrate.

You’ll be supported with simple journal prompts to reflect on your experience and stay connected to what has unfolded.

No prior experience is needed. You are welcome exactly as you are.

Cacao and wellbeing

Ceremonial cacao is a gentle, heart opening drink for most people, though it may not be suitable for everyone. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a heart condition, take medication that affects mood or blood pressure, or are sensitive to stimulants, you may wish to avoid it or take a smaller amount. You are very welcome to choose blue lotus tea or herbal tea instead. If you are unsure, feel free to get in touch.

It is advisable not to drink caffeine or take dairy prior to drinking cacao and a light breakfast is suggested.

Please bring

A blanket, your journal, and anything that helps you feel comfortable and warm. Yoga mats are provided.

Arrival

Doors open 20 minutes before we begin to support a conscious and gentle arrival into the circle. We will start on time to honour the space we are creating together.
