WINTER SOLSTICE Cacao + Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh Sacred Sound Ceremony

A sound Journey ceremony with mulled Cacao and illuminating Gold, embracing the darkness and welcoming the new light in an alchemical gold initiation though the Solstice gateway, transmuting denser energies into divine vibration.

You will experience the deeply connecting magic of the Cacao Spirit to open your heart and receive the messages of your Soul and the illumination of Gold opening your crown to receive the blessings of the sun, the re-birth of your own light into Sovereignty, and expanding into "cosmic consciousness".

Drawing from the ancient Mayan wisdom teachings & the Egyptian Mystery School and Temple Tradition, Veronica Nilah invites you in a sacred & safe space where you can experience these sacred plant medicines with intention and contemplation, as she assists you in your meditation journey with Shamanic & Sacred Sounds.

In celebration of the Winter Solstice and the holiday season, let's gather together, to elevate our spirit in the dark days of Winter and seed our visions in the darkness as we dream them into existence with the return of the light.

In this ceremonial Sound Journey we will warm up into the Winter Solstice energies with the Christmas scents of a cup of mulled ceremonial grade Cacao enriched with pure Gold, fumigating with Myrrh Sacred Smoke and anointing with divine Frankincense.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE CEREMONY:

· CLEARING - SMUDGING WITH MYRRH AND OPENING SACRED SPACE

One of the famous gifts of the Three Magi, Yemeni Myrrh will be burned to smudge ourselves and cleanse our energy field, to set a sacred space and a peaceful mind.

· ANOINTING WITH FRANKINCENSE

Frankincense, the Sacred Anointing Oil of crystallised sun energy, is conducive to a meditative and divine state. The precious Omani Boswellia sacra Frankincense we’ll use was considered as valuable as gold and was the variety gifted by the Magi from the East.

· DRINKING AND COMMUNING WITH A DELICIOUS SPICED “MULLED CACAO” ENRICHED WITH PURE GOLD.

We will warm up into the Winter Solstice energies with the Christmas scents of a cup of mulled ceremonial Cacao, enriched with pure 24ct colloidal gold. When you receive your cup of ceremonial Cacao and Gold, you will be invited to quietly tune into yourself and set an intention which will be imbued in your drink before you consume it with deep reverence. Veronica Nilah will encourage you to pay attention to what is happening for you and remain present while you will be journeying with Sacred Sound.

· SOUND JOURNEY

Immersed in the tones from the crystal bowls, harmonics from the flutes, heartbeats from the drum and ripples from the gongs, you will experience the deeply connecting magic of the Cacao Spirit to open your heart and receive the messages of your Soul, and the enlightenment of the Gold and Frankincense. Channelled sound has a multitude of therapeutic benefits and can facilitate healing on a physical, emotional and spiritual level, helping to restore your entire being into healthy resonance. It can be truly transportive and transformative.

· CLOSING

Re-emerging from the sound journey we will collectively acknowledge the medicine of our shared experience and close the circle with a giving of thanks and a grounding of energies.

WHY GOLD?

Gold's powerful healing properties have been well known since ancient times. In Egypt it was recognised medicinally and for mental, physical and spiritual purification. It was considered the elixir of life, able to rejuvenate the cells in our body. Radiating light like the sun, it was symbolic of the glory of the sun Ra. Symbol of higher Wisdom and Truth, Gold, was associated with the eternal powers of the divine.

Drinking Gold elevates us to our own divinity and creative power. With Cacao, this synergistic blend has the potential to open the portals of your heart and mind into a golden, blissful, illuminated state of being.
