A journey, with Cacao through movement and sound.

We come together to celebrate life, connection, music and dance in the beautiful mountains of North Wales.
An open hearted, supportive and non judgemental space where you can dance like no one is watching and sing like no one is listening!

What to expect

Connecting and reconnecting with family, friends and tribe both old and new.

Ceremonial Grade Cacao and intention setting.

Dancing to awesome tunes with a fabulous light and laser show.
Expect a range of dance sub genres, ranging from world music, tribal/organic beats, dub and then warming up into some feel good synths, house and melodic techno, maybe some stompy breakbeat and a tad of fun Drum & Bass to energise! The music will wind down for the last 20 minutes or so to prepare you for the soundbath.

Feel free to bring drums and other percussion to play along with - Hang Pans would be lovely in the chillout space if you are so inclined!

Then wind down with a calming and healing sound bath followed by the closing ceremony.

There will be two separate chill out spaces room to give you space to chat, sit, meditate...
your choice.

There will be a selection of herbal teas and water available at no additional cost.
Bring your own non alcoholic drinks if you like.

Ticket includes a measured cup of ceremonial grade Cacao (13-18's with parental consent only).

No alcohol or illegal substances in the venue.
Strictly no smoking/vaping inside the venue. Please honour the intention here to create an event beyond the usual paradigms.

Entry by online ticket or pre agreement to pay cash on the door in advance so that we can know numbers and know how much Cacao to prepare (this is especially important at the Coast because there is no significant kitchen there, so the Cacao is prepared off-site)

General Info

Due to the nature of the event, the doors will closed promptly at 6.55pm - Please arrive in good time!

If you need to smoke or be outside in general, please exit through the conservatory doors.

As no one will be using alcohol/drugs, it'll be perfectly safe and legal to drive to the event and home again afterwards.
This truly is a great way of having a night out!

Ensure you are well hydrated before, during and after the event, this is of vital importance.

We have 'Welbeings' on hand if you feel unsteady in any way, these people will be pointed out during the introduction.

Professional First aid will also be provisioned on site.

If you are bringing youngsters, you are ofcourse always responsible for them.
Please ensure that they don't disrupt the sound bath, please make use of the chillout room if the children are too you young to understand the importance of a quiet room during the sound bath.

 We suggest that you may want to buy ear defender head muffs or some such to protect delicate child eardrums from the music, that said, we arent super loud as that is not what these events are about!

Cacao

Cacao (the main ingredient in chocolate) helps to open the heart and provides energy in the form of theobromine, literally meaning "food of the Gods".

The Cacao is a beautiful teacher if you allow it.

We invite you to give Cacao space in your metabolic and energetic system, and leave other teacher plants for another day.
This allows a cleaner coherent vibe to exist between all participants.

It is advised to avoid other stimulants such as coffee on the day to give your system all the necessary space to work with the Cacao.

Our Ceremonial Cacao is pure, organic and ethically sourced from ancient Cacao gardens.

This is sacred and precious with a high energetic vibration, Cacao can open your heart, create happy states, release negative emotions, and connect you to pure love energy.

You can journey onwards with this specific* plant medicine by buying your own "Conscious Tribal Cacao",  (select amount below and this will be available to collect at this event)

*-Cacao has regional, temperate and seasonal variance, like wine each has its unique nature.

Cacao Contraindications

It is important to respect the more subtle but still very profound power of this plant medicine - she is not for everyone, but she is for most people! Whilst the health benefits of cacao are vast and scientific studies have shown cacao can assist with many symptoms and conditions naturally, there are a few precautions regarding its compatibility with some health disorders or medications, that should be explored before consuming cacao.

Sound Bath

The combination of Cacao and sound can have profound effects.

We wind down the event with a harmonic resonance experience to integrate the circulation of energy, come home to ourselves and vibrate into peaceful rest.

*** Bring a pillow, blanket and a yoga mat (or whatever you need to get comfy to lay down during this experience) ***

The sound/gong bath is accessible to everyone but those who are pregnant, who are post-operative, have hearing aids, a pacemaker, a severe heart condition, metal hips/joints or sound induced epilepsy may like to rest in the side room while it takes place.
