CACAO & CREATIVITY
WORKSHOP
A Collaboration with Becky from Present Moment Meditation
& Sophie Rey




​Myself and Becky last joined forces on a sunny day in July 2021, to host a Meditation & Mindfulness
through Art workshop in Martineau Gardens.
Since then Becky trained to become a Cacao Guide, I trained to be a Somatic Coach,
and we are both super excited to combine the Magic of Cacao Medicine with the Soul-Soothing effects of Grounding Movement & Creativity for this new collaborative workshop.

​​About Cacao...
​
​
Cacao is an amazing and delicious superfood, packed full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Sometimes known as “food of the gods,” Cacao is from the seed found in the fruit of the Theobroma Cacao tree.
Becky says "I try and drink Cacao most days as it has fantastic healing benefits, including making me feel really relaxed as it naturally raises serotonin levels. It also happens to be delicious!"
Cacao has a long history of use with traces of Cacao found in pots used by the Olmec Society of Meso-America (pre-dating the Mayans) in 1900 BC. Records from Ancient Mayans (250 BC) show that cups of cacao were buried with people and Cacao was used during ceremonies such as weddings as well.
In the session we will honour the history of Cacao and we will drink organic, fair trade ceremonial cacao.
​​
What else is included...
​
Before the Mindful Cacao drinking, Sophie will guide you through a Somatic Movement practice, that encourages freedom of movement to suit your body & needs on the day, release held tension and explore grounding and nervous system stabilisation. Becky will lead you through a meditation practice designed to ignite your imagination and create a receptive mind for creativity. For the remainder of the workshop we will settle into a relaxing art practice which requires no experience.
​​
Drinking Cacao is a great way to tap into your creativity and we can't wait to share this with you.
​
Gently embrace all aspects of yourself; fear and self-doubt are welcome!
This is a gentle, nurturing and compassionate offering to experience the natural benefits of plant medicine and support creative expression.
