Cacao, elemental dance and sound bath

Join Sofia Barnes (Love All Ways Yoga) and Ailie (Yoga Rewild) for a heart-opening evening of cacao ceremony, elemental dance, and sound bath at The Craft Egg, St George, Bristol. We’ll share ceremonial-grade cacao, a sacred plant medicine that uplifts the spirit and opens the heart, before moving through free-flowing movement, breath, and music to explore the energies of the five elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. The journey will gently unfold into a deeply restorative sound bath, soothing the nervous system, calming the mind, and leaving you feeling grounded, spacious, and renewed.

This event has been cancelled as unfortunately the Crafty Egg has decided to close due to financial reasons. We are therefore seeking an alternative venue to hold this event.

JOURNEY THROUGH TIME, SPACE AND SOUND ~

Set off on a voyage of embodied exploration, awakening the full range of expression and feeling as we journey through the elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. Together we’ll tune into the ancient wisdom that lives within us all, as the medicine of circle, connection, and free-flowing movement begins to stir. Guided by music that supports our unfolding, we’ll honour life’s natural rhythms — its ebbs, flows, and the unique part each of us plays in its vast cosmic tapestry. The evening will culminate in a soothing sound bath, inviting our energies to settle and expand, leaving us grounded, spacious, and alive. Everyone is welcome.

The original chocolate in its purest form, cacao is a revered plant medicine long associated with universal love — a sacred healer and teacher of the heart. Movement helps this potent elixir flow through the bloodstream, awakening energy and emotion from within. In its raw form, cacao is one of the most nutrient-dense foods known to humankind, containing over 300 beneficial compounds, including vitamin C, iron, magnesium, calcium, and a wealth of mood-enhancing chemicals that stimulate serotonin and evoke warm, blissful feelings. Cultivated since at least 2000 BC by the Olmec, Aztec, and Mayan civilizations, cacao has been used ceremonially, shamanically, and as a nourishing plant ally. Ceremonial-grade cacao differs from modern chocolate in that it is grown wild within its natural ecosystem by Indigenous communities who preserve native strains, use minimal processing, and are paid fairly for their work. Rooted in this ancient lineage is the goddess Ix Cacao, honored as a bringer of fertility and abundance — a reminder of the deep connection between heart, Earth, and spirit.

The session will culminate in a soothing sound bath, where healing frequencies and gentle vibrations ripple through the space, enveloping you in a sense of timelessness and deep calm. These resonant sounds help slow the mind, balance the nervous system, and support emotional release, inviting the body to rest and restore on a cellular level. As the waves of sound move around and within you, they create space for integration — allowing the journey to be fully absorbed and assimilated before softly returning you to waking reality, grounded and renewed.
