Summer Ceremony Invitation
You are warmly invited to join us as we gather to honour the radiant, life-giving energy of Summer.
Together, we’ll immerse ourselves in the healing rhythms of dance, drums, ritual, and the heart-opening medicine of Cacao.This is an invitation to journey inward—through soulful self-enquiry—while nurturing connection, community, and co-creative synergy.
As we attune to the cycles of nature, we deepen our understanding of our own inner seasons. In the fullness of Summer, we reflect on personal growth and invite the sun’s light to guide and nourish our path. We expand our awareness, gather strength, and embody our gifts as a transformative presence in the world.
Ceremony invites us to cross a threshold—from the everyday into the sacred. In shared space, our individual journeys weave into a collective field of connection, rooted in reverence, curiosity, and compassion.
We honour the sacred interconnectedness of all beings and extend our love to all our relations.
Meet Your Facilitator – Mira Khanya
Mira crafts immersive dance journeys, drawing on the wisdom of Movement Medicine while infusing her own unique approach. With a rich background in dance, theatre, and the healing arts, she intuitively guides transformative experiences—gateways to connection—while weaving a tapestry of global sounds with deep intention and reverence for life.
Inviting expressive movement and embodied freedom, her work fosters community, togetherness, and compassionate presence—with ourselves, each other, and the wider web of life. Mira collaborates with festivals and events across the UK and internationally, bringing her offerings into spaces of healing, transformation, and celebration.
Special Guest - Dembis Thioung
We are honoured to welcome Dembis Thioung - an Ancestral West African Rhythm Keeper, master drum-maker, and percussionist originally from Senegal. Specialising in Dundun, Djembe, Sabar, Calabash and Asico drums, Dembis bridges tradition and innovation. His artistry connects hearts through the primal power of rhythm, creating unforgettable moments of unity. We are blessed to have Dembis join us once again in ceremony!
Enchanted Ritual Cacao
We are honoured to serve Enchanted Ritual Cacao as part of our ceremony—a powerful and sacred blend crafted to support emotional balance, spiritual clarity, and physical vitality. This alchemical elixir unites the revered cacao of the Arhuaco Indigenous People of Colombia with Lilly extract, Nano Diamond, Monatomic Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. Together, these elements work in harmony to uplift the spirit, deepen connection, and enhance meditation—opening pathways to joy, compassion, and inner peace.
