SUMMARY:LOVE Fridays ~ Cacao and Sound Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:LOVE Fridays is an exciting new offering from C Sound Space for 2026\, a mid-morning sanctuary at the end of the week to pause\, soften\, and reconnect with yourself as you transition into the weekend. \nBlending together two of her favourite joys\, Ce has been working personally with ceremonial cacao for the past 7 years\, deepening her knowledge through Tara Firetree’s extensive cacao practitioner course in 2023 (following the Mayan teachings) and offering cacao as part of 1-2-1 / couple Sound treatments and on retreats. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCeremonial cacao is a deeply spiritual and healing plant medicine with a strong feminine energy (‘mama cacao’) that has been revered for centuries across many cultures\, particularly by the Mayans and Aztecs. Its combination of psychoactive compounds (Theobromine\, vitamins\, and minerals makes it not only a delicious treat but also a powerful tool for inner work and healing (see more below about contraindications).Offering these heart infused sessions on a Friday is significant\, not just because the day marks the start to the weekend. Fridays symbolise feminine power\, love\, and beauty through its link to Norse goddess Freyja and Venus\, representing creativity\, fertility\, and intuition. \nFlow of the session \nWe begin by settling into the space and sharing intentions together. We’ll then share ceremonial cacao\, opening the heart and creating a grounded\, connected atmosphere for the journey ahead. A deeply restorative sound bath will follow\, allowing the nervous system to unwind and the body to rest. We’ll close with a gentle closing circle before departing. \n\n11.15–11.30: Arrival\, settling in & intention sharing\n11.30–12.00: Ceremonial cacao\n12.00–1.15: Sound bath\n1.15–1.30: Closing circle\n1.30–1.45: Optional to stay on and chat while we slowly pack up (and enjoy sweet treat)\n\nSmall\, intimate group of up to 12 people. Open to both men and women\, aged 18 years upwards. \nHeld with the support of an experienced assistant (another trusted therapist or friend\, who may vary each session). \nInvestment \n\n£45 per person\n10% discount when booking with a friend or booking two sessions (use coupon code; fabfold10)\n\nWhat to wear\, bring and how to prepare \nWear loose\, comfortable clothes\, layers are best. A mat will be provided to lay on but by all means bring your own for extra comfort\, along with a warm cosy blanket\, duvet or sleeping bag\, pillow and eye mask. Bring a bottle of water for hydration. Best to avoid caffeine in the morning\, arrive well hydrated and to not eat for at least 2 hours before the session. \nImportant information about ceremonial cacao \nCeremonial cacao is a plant medicine known for its heart-opening\, mood-elevating\, and consciousness-expanding properties. It contains powerful compounds like theobromine\, serotonin\, magnesium\, and calcium that promote emotional healing\, mental clarity\, and physical relaxation. \nKey Benefits: \n\nHeart Opening: Promotes love\, peace\, and emotional connection.\nMental Clarity: Calms the mind and enhances focus without jitteriness.\nPhysical Nourishment: Rich in magnesium\, calcium\, and antioxidants.\nSpiritual Healing: Helps release emotional blockages and supports personal transformation.\nConsciousness Expansion: Aids in introspection and self-awareness.\n\n*There are some contraindications to taking cacao\, such as during pregnancy\, if very sensitive to caffeine or when taking certain medicines\, such as strong anti-depressants\, or for blood pressure. If in doubt\, please get in touch. \nA ceremonial tea can be prepared instead if you prefer not to have cacao.  All participants will be required to fill in a health form here\, upon booking. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Cecilia at csoundspace@gmail.com for more information. \nTo Book click HERE. \nFacebook\nInsta
