About the event
This session focuses on opening and activating the Third Eye and Crown chakras. We’ll begin with cacao infused with sacred blue lotus, an ancient plant known for expanding consciousness and enhancing your ability to see beyond.Â
Breathwork
As we activate the breath, you’ll shed old layers, opening up space for deeper intuition and inner clarity. This allows us to explore our own inner shadows and darkness before we shift into our own inner light creating new harmony within.
Sound Healing Journey
Afterward, immerse yourself in the soothing vibrations of crystal bowls, allowing the sound bath to raise your frequency, integrate your healing, and align you with the balancing energies of the equinox. Get ready for quantum leaps in your healing journey!
About Breathwork
Breathwork combines a conscious connected breathing technique with body and energy work and a powerful chakra attuned sound healing journey to guide you into states of deep transformation. When worked with in this way, your breath becomes a bridge to access the deepest parts of your body, mind and spirit, providing you with an opportunity to uncover patterns that have you stuck, receive powerful insights, release emotions and move energy.
How often do we actually think about the 25,000 breaths we take on average in a day? We don’t, its such a natural intuitive part of who we are, that it often doesn’t get a second thought. But if you take this moment while you are reading this to feel into how your breath is moving it can tell us so much. Are your ribs tight? Is your heart and chest tense? Can you feel pressure in your abdomen? Are you carrying tension in your shoulders? The day to day stress that we naturally live through, from being on trains, at work, going to the gym, family life and just navigating our lives, is constantly impacting our nervous system and rarely do we give ourselves the opportunity to reset and regulate.
This is an invitation to embrace the totality of what it means to be human, express the full range of emotions that may arise and connect with yourself on new levels. The class will include an opening circle/instructions, a breathwork journey and integration with crystal bowls and a space to share your experience if you wish to. Absolutely no experience is necessary, come exactly as you are.

- About cacao: Please note that cacao contains theobromine which, as a stimulant, can have a similar effect to caffeine. If you are caffeine sensitive, please let us know and we can provide a smaller dose or an alternative drink. We would advise avoid ingesting cacao if you have a heart condition, are pregnant, breastfeeding or you take any heart medication or anti-depressants, as they can react with the cacao. Likewise, if you have had a medical diagnosis of bipolar, psychosis, or schizophrenia, please do not ingest. The safety and comfort of our guests is our top priority and we can always provide an alternative option to cacao at any ceremony. If you have any questions at all, please contact the event facilitator or Fire + Alchemy.
