As winter draws us inward and the festive season fades, join us for a transformative journey of reconnection with our inner selves. Guided by the sacred medicine of Hapè, we will deeply release what no longer serves us, finding stillness and pause.

After journeying as a death doula over the last couple of years Danu has come to some deep realisations around the deeply needed and necessary stage of grief in any process of healing and creation. Without grief we do not fully release attachments and create the space for the divine to flow through us. Learn and experience how grief and the season of autumn work together as nature lets go and teaches us the power of completion. Grief is the doorway to peace and as we move through this portal we are faced with all we have received and learnt in the last cycle, gratitude becomes are harvest and inner growth our purpose.
As we open our hearts with ceremonial cacao, we’ll engage in guided and somatic meditations, reflective practices, and sharing circles to honor our journeys. This is a time to cultivate community, celebrate our harvest, nurture our hearts and reconnect as we release and return back into the arms of creation
Let this be a moment of healing, as we acknowledge the past and embrace the potential of what lies ahead. Come with an open heart and leave with a sense of clarity and connection.

Samhain Cacao Ceremony with Paal & Morten
2023-11-02 17:00 - 20:00 | Isfield, East-Sussex, Isfield
We at Garden of Alchemy are excited to introduce a collaborative Samhain Ceremony with an amazing guest facilitator, Paal Christian Buntz.
Samhain is originally New Year’s Eve in the Celtic and Vedic calendars.
It was also a time for the last harvest and slaughter.
Initially, it was a day to celebrate, to have a feast, and to be grateful for the crops and what the season had given.
In many traditions, it is also a day to honour the ancestors and people who have passed away. During this time of the year, the veil between this world and the other world was said to be the thinnest.
We invite you to our version of the Samhain celebration.
We come together for a Samhain Cacao Ceremony to pray, be grateful for what we have, honour our ancestors, the Cacao, and set new intentions for our spiritual practice.
Cacao is a nurturing heart medicine, and we also want to celebrate who we are and the our lives. We will dance and give each other the possibility to shine and honour our light, our voices and authentic expressions. Feel free to bring a small thing to eat in our shared feast at the end of the ceremony.
It is also a great opportunity to sit in the ceremony with Paal as he visits and shares his medicines. Paal has been trained and done many dieatas with the Shibipos in Peru. He comes with the Master Plant of Noya Rao alongside GrandMother. We intend to honour the sacred medicine of Cacao, our true nature and explore the festive season of Samhain.
Welcome to our Shamain Celebration!!

This journey will encourage you to drop in and slow down as we journey inwards with the autumnal energies of October. We will set intentions and reconnect with our true selves to feel all the assistance that is available to us.
We will hold space for a switch from co-dependency to sovereignty over this winter as we find solace, warmth and a place to regulate our nervous systems on the path to refuel and reset.
In this intimate group we will dance through an intuitive journey of smudging, essential oils, sound tools, somatic embodiment, shamanic drumming, and (of course) our intimately sourced, Garden of Alchemy cacao.

Wisdom of the Womb
2023-02-11 10:00 - 2023-02-12 18:00 | Isfield, East-Sussex, Isfield
Wisdom of the Womb
Weekend of Medicine for women facilitated by Annabelle Nicoll & Aimee Isra Wolf.

This two day retreat will leave you feeling, soft, nurtured, held and safe. Come and be in a beautiful rural location in the company of other women. Two days of embodied practices, relaxation and healing. We will go deep with the sacred medicines Kambo and Cacao. A journey to clear blockages, open our heart and womb space and soften into our inner truth.

You are invited to let go into the unknown on this deep dive into the heart of your womb and the wisdom that it is speaking to you. Welcoming all of you and where ever you are at into this intimate safe space. As women we hold the whole world within us. Every answer you seek, longing you crave and need you desire is within you, the only secret is learning how to access this. The womb is where creation lies and is the source of all life force energy arises. As we learn to tap into this potent guide within we learn to access ourselves at a deeper level than one can imagine.
Working within a container the weekend is intended to take you on a journey to help you receive the gifts that are waiting for you to unearth.
There is magic waiting and as women we are the weavers of our destiny.
Format
We start the weekend on Saturday. Gathering in prayer and meditation to access our truth and to voice our intended reason for feeling the call to this portal of discovery. We allow the Spirit of Kambo to work in a deep and profound way. Breaking for a delicious nourishing vegan lunch. On Sunday we will journey with Womb Kambo, a gentle yet deep way of meeting the Spirit of Kambo. We will spend the afternoon in sharing circle with music and a deep Cacao Ceremony to help you access the joy within.
The ceremony is set in a beautiful rural location where you will have a chance to really let go of any stress and unwind with nature. The space is deeply holding with comfort and restoration being the focus of the day. There will be medicinal teas and essential oils and plant medicines throughout the weekend. This is truly a sumptuous retreat of plant medicines.
You may choose to sleep over in shared facilities or camping on the grounds, but the weekend is not specifically intended for this.
Kambo Ceremony, Saturday

Our journey starts with an open circle and intention setting. Here we will explore what to expect, the history of Kambo and we will share why we feel called to work with these allies. Please arrive in good time.
Kambo is a powerful ally in clearing the blocks that hold us back, whether on a physical health level or in our lives. Kambo can bring purification and clarity.
We will finish up by 4pm-6pm in the afternoon. The invitation is to give yourself the gift of rest and recovery after the ceremony.
Womb Kambo Ceremony, Sunday

To be held in the womb is to be held at the beginning
A soft, gentle, warm and nurturing environment awaits you on this journey.
Unlike traditional Kambo, this is a space that invites in all the senses even
before the medicine is served. We open up this time(around two hours) for you to drop deeply into yourself, relax the body and mind and arrive into presence.
A heart-opening ceremony, warm fire, beautiful smells and herbal medicine teas.
In preparing the body and mind to receive this medicine, we set intentions,
release expectations and call in the assistance of the Kambo Spirit to guide us to
where we need to go and what we need to see and experience.
Each journey is unique and we set a large container of time so that you can
really dive in and have the experience you need. This is a non-
purgative process, unlike traditional Kambo.
We are working with micro-dose amounts over a long time period while lying down. The medicine can evoke memories, emotions and sensations. Although Kambo is non-psychedelic, just like a shamanic journey,
you may also see some visuals. You can go as deep as you are willing to surrender.
Although this is a microdose amount it can still be a very potent frog medicine journey and we ask you to fill out a health form to see that you are safe to take. Not only will Kambo create a deep healing experience for you, it is also a rich peptide medicine strengthening your immune system, helping you gather insights and strength to heal and resolve anything that needs addressing in your life.
Cacao Ceremony, Sunday
On Sunday afternoon we dive into a beautiful heart opening Cacao ceremony to call in inspiration and love into your bodies. Cacao is a beautiful medicine to help integrate your morning journey and to bring you into a community space where love becomes the guide. There will be some movement and games to help you access the joy and pleasure that is our birth right to feel. You will leave healed, opened and softened with new perspective and direction in your life.
Cacao is the medicine of the Heart. Its qualities literally raise our vibration. As the powerful and subtle energy of cacao enters the body, it helps to remove, release and transform any blocks. During the ceremony, we drink this health-enhancing elixir together, allowing about 20 minutes for it to take effect. The effects last a few hours but the insights and teachings from Cacao can stay with us forever.
The process of working with Cacao is a beautiful synergy of higher frequencies. Its soft nurturing qualities bring a sense of abundance and energy to each ceremony. The effects are ever-expanding and awe-inspiring.
Integration Call
We will have an online integration call on TBD.
Previous Experiences from Womb Wisdom Weekend

The moment you meet Annabelle you feel like you’re reuniting with a long lost friend or a loved family member.
Annabelle has made it her life mission to be a guiding light for others treading the path which she has. She shows up with integrity, openness and honesty. She is down to earth, nurturing and uncensored.
I see Annabelle simultaneously as a lighthouse and an anchor. She has spent her entire life gathering tools, doing her own work and freely gifts her knowledge and wisdom. She holds space authentically and generously giving her heart and soul to those of us who’ve been blessed to cross paths with her in this lifetime.
I have sat with Annabelle several times, the last being at a women’s wisdom of the womb retreat. I am still in awe and in deep gratitude for how the space and schedule was held with so much love and empathy.
I felt safe, heard and divinely guided. Annabelle is serious about her work yet her light hearted, fun and playful personality shines through. Despite there being tears and challenging emotions, not to mention difficult physical journeys, there is always room for laughter.
Working with Annabelle has given me the container I need to let go of what no longer serves me and to embark on a transformative journey. She creates a beautiful medicine space, paves the way for us to do our own work while she walks along side us. And always ends a ceremony with delicious nourishing food and a sharing circle. I find it difficult to write about my experience with Annabelle because it feels that words can never do her justice.
– Yasmin
It was my first Womb Kambo Retreat, and 5th Kambo ceremony in the last 10 months.
The ceremonies were amazing, it was so empowering to shear it in a circle of women in a beautiful ceremony room. We were looked after and cared for on all levels, from grounding meditation, actually ceremonies and so needed cacao integration ceremony…we were nourished with delicious food and support by our medicine women Annabelle and Aimee, the whole time, they hold this purifying and healing space for all of us with outmost LOVE, understanding, wisdom and support.
I can’t wait for more…
– Dorota
Annabelle and Morten are two deeply special healers who know their work. They have been on the journey themselves and hold such a profoundly safe, supportive and present space.
I went to them first for a full day couple’s cacao ceremony and then for a women’s kambo womb-healing retreat and both were so special. I was scared to do Kambo but felt called and knew it was my time and the space held leading up to taking Kambo was so incredible, and I was so clear around my intentions by the time it was my turn, that I honestly had little to no fear left. I’m not exaggerating when I say that the weekend was truly life changing, and has marked the beginning of a new chapter for me, and so much of that is because of the deeply intelligent, loving, powerful and safe space that Garden of Alchemy hold. Environment is so much. If you are ready to do this work and alchemise your shadows into your strength, I cannot recommend Annabelle and Morten enough!
– Florence
Annabelle’s Intention
I work with the medicines of Kambo and Cacao to get to the core of what needs to be understood psychological, energetic or physical.
Bringing forth into our consciousness what needs to be made aware, there is the opportunity for transformation and release creating space for your Divine self to take space. Alongside the potent qualities of these medicines, I drop each person into a deep, relaxed state. This turns on the parasympathetic system so that each individual can feel grounded and safe. My belief is we are self-healing beings and given the right conditions we can understand, feel, release and restore ourselves to optimal health and pure love.
I work in ceremony so that the space is a container for healing, using various shamanic tools, music, oils, and visualisations. There is also time for verbal sharing so that everyone can connect with their truth and with each other. In this way, we co-create a space that is authentic, healing, creative and inspirational. We work with consciously chosen intentions and allow the Medicines to work in alignment with your wishes for your journey – you can go as deeply or as gently as you want.
My intention is that you leave the days ceremony altered in some way for the better, lighter, more connected and able to meet the world with your heart and womb leading the way.

I am Isra, shamanic practitioner & kambo practitioner. I am here to assist you & guide you on your journey to self….I am here to show you the amazingness of your own being, to re connect you to self & the life you want ~ Through Trauma to oneness.
I self taught for many years reading books and learning from others. I started using plant medicines to assist me and help me build on my understanding and knowledge within. I once read a great quote ‘by knowing ourselves we know others’ and that resonated with me. I then went on to learn Temenos Touch with Evelyn Brodie and her Husband George Christie, a transformational healing therapy which honours the traditions of the Peruvian Shamans Alberto Villoldo and Simon Buxton. I also completed Kambo Practitioner training with the International Association of Kambo Practitioners. Kambo has been supporting me throughout my journey helping to support and realign me back to my true self, it has truly grounded me and made me a stronger version of my self.
I now love to pass on my experience to support others with their journeys through the therapies that I offer.

31st July, 4:30-8 pm
Limited to 8 people
Over 18’s only
Tickets £40
£70 including bar of Cacao to collect on the day (£5 saving)
Whether you’re an old or new friend, you are warmly welcomed to come and celebrate Lammas with us at the Garden of Alchemy. We gather with Mama Cacao around our new fire pit, where Morten will guide you into the magic of the fire with teachings and reflections on how to work with fire. We will drink to the abundance that we are grateful for and spend time in reflection on this potent time of the year. There will be time for sharings, an opportunity to witness the humanity within each of our brothers and sisters. And as an added gift of abundance, our medicine sister Ashleigh who is visiting us from up north will ground all of this expansion into the body with a beautiful Tibetan sound bowl therapy session.

The Meaning of Lammas
It is now high summer and the union of Sun and Earth, of God and Goddess, has produced the First Harvest. Lammas is the celebration of this first, Grain Harvest, a time for gathering in and giving thanks for abundance. We work within a larger cycle: Mabon, or the Autumn Equinox, is the Second Harvest of Fruit, and Samhain is the third and Final Harvest of Nuts and Berries.
The word ‘Lammas’ is derived from ‘loaf mass’ and is indicative of how central the first grain is to the life of the tribe and how honoured is the first loaf of the harvesting cycle.
It’s also the festival of Lugh, or Lug, the great Celtic Sun King and God of Light. August is His sacred month when He initiated great festivities in honour of His mother, Tailtiu. Feasting, market fairs, games and bonfire celebrations were the order of the day. Circle dancing, reflecting the movement of the sun in sympathetic magic, was popular, as were all community gatherings.
Underlying all this is the knowledge that the bounty and energy of Lugh, of the Sun, is now beginning to wane. It is a time of change. Active growth is slowing down and the darker days of winter and reflection are beckoning…
The deep core meaning of Lammas is of the seed which drops back deep into the dark earth, is hidden throughout the winter, and re-appears in the spring as new growth. The fullness and fulfilment of the present harvest already holds at its very heart the seed of all future harvests. (It is a fact that a pregnant woman carrying her as yet unborn daughter is also already carrying the ovary containing all the eggs her daughter will ever release – she is already both mother, grandmother and beyond, embodying the great Motherline – pure magic and mystery.) Within that harvest is the seed of next year’s rebirth, regeneration and harvest. What will be your harvest?

Garden of Alchemy Cacao Ceremonies
Cacao has a deep supporting nature and earthly connection, offering you a warm embrace. Energetically, the medicine gently opens your heart, releasing stress and anxiety and bringing deep relaxing calm as it frees the mind. From the heart space, we feel more connected with our true nature, our true soul. It’s here that we can rekindle creativity and feel more in flow, in tune with ourselves and the world.

Our Shamanic Cacao ceremonies could be for you if you’re interested in:
– a place to just take a pause from it all
– emotional healing
– embracing a happier and freer you
– experiencing magic, healing and dreaming as tools for transformation
– working with your inner child and archetypal energies
– deep relaxation
– embracing creativity
– reconnecting with self
– opening your heart
– expanding your consciousness
– exploring plant medicines in a safe and deeply connected way.
– learning to use your intuition and internal guidance system, activating the healer within.
Come along and learn and experience how to work with the power of ceremony, and bring this into your everyday life as a living ceremony.

Initiation into the Feminine Ways to Activate your Sovereign Power
Dear sisters,

We call your being into the light. We hear your longings, and we feel your bone-deep knowing that you are here to walk the Feminine Way and to carve a new Path for humanity to follow. We are calling the way showers, the leaders, the artists and healers to unite and to Initiate together in Ceremony. To birth the new paradigm. The new Earth.
A magical weekend celebrating with the energies of Beltane and the soul within.
This weekend is an opportunity to disconnect for a moment from your everyday life and drop in deep to the magic that you are. To discover and uncover, remember and honour the wise one within. Supported by the energies of the Rose and Mama Cacao, as well as your temple holders Annabelle and Layla and of course each other, we will go on a mystical journey together, weaving our individual magic into the space, through sharing, movement, journeying, meditation and activation
The energy of the weekend is over lighted by the Goddess, the sacred feminine, inviting you in deeper to meet with those aspects of yourself and to claim yourself as the women that you are, celebrating yourself in all of your technicolour glory. All is welcomed in this space, all is welcomed within who you are, your light and your shadows.
The energy of unconditional love will hold you, in the unseen realms and through each of us as we witness one another and celebrate in the beauty of sisterhood. We are here at this time to transform not only ourselves but the world around us. Not through pressure, or a sense of should, but by finding and uncovering the love that we are at our very core. We are that which we seek. It is time for us to celebrate the women we know we came here to be.

Why Now
Deep within our wombs lies a portal that connects us to all of life. This is our gift as women. When we awaken the power within our bodies, we awaken a consciousness that is asking to be birthed into the world. These are not times of passivity and yet the feminine way does not drive, push or try. The feminine way invites, opens and expands.
Never has there been a time to step into your full Power like now. As women, we are seeded here on this planet in these times to bring about great change. This change asks us to heal from the distorted patriarchal ways, to find deep empathy, compassion and love for our fellow brothers and sisters. It asks us to understand our wounds and to shed so much love on them that they transform into divine tools of grace and power.
The trauma of the last couple of thousand years weighs heavily on all our souls. We are here to be part of the healing team, the way showers to help humanity heal and to find a new way of operating in the world. We are being asked to reprogram old, outdated structures of beliefs and habits and to seed a divine mission: to create templates as a foundation for the new. At these pivotal times and turning points in the history of humankind, we are ready to step into our full power and reclaim our sovereignty.

Initiation
Do you feel the call to be claimed by this Initiation? Beltane is a perfect Portal for this magical and divine Initiation. You will know if this is a part of your destiny, as this calling will spark a true resonance within you.
To create an intimate and powerful space, this transformative weekend will be limited to only 6 women. The space is held by Annabelle and Layla, who have both journeyed with the energy of the high priestess, the shamanic medicine women and healer for many lifetimes. In this container, you are being invited to remember and activate your sovereign and sexual power, cosmic blueprint and Divine Mission.
Working with ancient Elemental wisdoms, we will weave in ceremony to create a vessel of such profound holding that alchemy will be stirred. Shadow states that you have been carrying through the multitude of lifetimes and your ancestral line that are ripe to be transformed will be called in for healing. Expect release and purification on the deepest level of your soul. Beltane calls us to rise towards the light and shine, claim our throne and be the queens we were born to be.

Layla And Annabelle
We offer a space of honesty, authenticity and radical transparency. We are in celebration of our humanness as well as deeply connecting to the vast assistance that lives in the universe. As channels who recognise ourselves as expressions of the divine, we hold that recognition for you too. We work with a multitude of feminine archetypes, deities, dakinis, archangels and spiritual tools.
Our work is of the highest, cleanest and purest vibrations of love. We are both trained to work with the Akashic Records and go deep into the underworld to excavate hidden gems that need birthing. We bridge the therapeutic with shamanic knowledge. All of our work is highly intuitive, experiential and Spirit-led. We are the real deal, sisters, and we say this to show you that we are not afraid to speak our truth and own our power.
Are you ready to express your feminine power too? To discover what that really means to you and to access your blueprint of why you came to this planet and feel called to come together as Feminine leaders to be part of a great awakening.
Together we rise
The Collective Dream
As carriers of the feminine essence, we have the potential to tap into the dream that wants to be birthed on this planet. Your heart and womb are big enough to dream not only for yourself but for a new humanity. It is our divine assignment to hold visions of a world that we would one day want our children’s children to inhabit.
Imagine a world that is healed with respect, understanding and community; a world that fosters rather than destroys life. A world where we learn to take full responsibility for ourselves and learn how to heal, using tools that support the expansion of consciousness and return us to our power as self-healing and self-regulating beings. A world where we live in the right environments and our true purpose.
As part of a team of light beings on this planet, we are here to seed and collaborate in community, to serve. This weekend serves as a remembrance of your reason for coming here and an opportunity to connect with other sisters who also have a calling to be in great service to this beautiful life, our planet and to humanity. This is our collective dream and our birthright. This knowledge lives in our bones and DNA.

Let’s weave magic together.
No more playing small, sisters. You are being called to initiate, to be held and guided by Spirit as feminine leaders on this planet. Rich and expansive visions and possibilities await.
We are so excited to bring this weekend into being. The energy around the creation has been so powerful and expansive and I am assured that the beings who are called to this are sisters who are here to shine and learn how to do this together.
What to expect:
We will have two full days of magic, ceremony, nature, shamanic journeys, rituals, movement and time in circle with our sisters, supported by the energy of the Rose and Mama Cacao to connect and integrate. There will be delicious food prepared each day by Alex who specialises in preparing food with love and harmony to support our systems doing this deep work.
There is the option to bring a tent or rent our cabin on wheels. Once you have booked, we will send you more details in an information letter with all preparations.
The moment you meet Annabelle you feel like you’re reuniting with a long lost friend or a loved family member.
Annabelle has made it her life mission to be a guiding light for others treading the path which she has. She shows up with integrity, openness and honesty. She is down to earth, nurturing and uncensored.
I see Annabelle simultaneously as a lighthouse and an anchor. She has spent her entire life gathering tools, doing her own work and freely gifts her knowledge and wisdom. She holds space authentically and generously giving her heart and soul to those of us who’ve been blessed to cross paths with her in this lifetime.
Yasmin
The ceremonies were amazing, it was so empowering to shear it in a circle of women in a beautiful ceremony room. We were looked after and cared for on all levels, from grounding meditation, actually ceremonies and so needed cacao integration ceremony…we were nourished with delicious food and support by our medicine women Annabelle and Aimee, the whole time, they hold this purifying and healing space for all of us with outmost LOVE, understanding, wisdom and support.
I can’t wait for more…
Dorota
Annabelle

My intention is to work with the energies that are needed to help others root into their true nature. I desire to be of support and guidance to those seeking to expand, grow, heal and function at a higher level than they have previously known.
I see growth as a spiral that’s in constant movement. As we heal, unblock, release, acknowledge and become more aware, we move. We gain more connection, love, compassion, clarity and direction.
My intention is to help unlock the wisdom that already resides within you as I hold a space for transformation and rebalancing to occur.

Layla
As a child I always knew there was more to life than the mainstream narrative, I was blessed to have a Mother who began her own awakening process when I was about 10. In my late teens I began to hear the voice of Gaia and could feel the pain of destruction our current way of living was having on the Earth. At this time I also began to perceive the Angelic realm and receive information about how life works here on Earth, I am still on that path of learning! I trained as a Soul reader, energy healer and channeler back in 2009. Through this work and reading my clients I began to sense the energy of the feminine in her many beautiful facets. From Mary Magdalene’s energy, to Isis, Mother Mary and what I called the great cosmic mother.
This training opened my senses even more and I began to see through the veils into the hidden realms of nature, the realm of the elementals. I began to receive information and insights directly from these realms and many beings that live there. I have often found that the teachings I have received in my life have come directly from life itself.
I am also a jeweller and have been working with sacred geometry for the last 10 years or so. Playing with these codes and frequencies go hand in hand with having access to these other realms. Over the past couple of years the energy of the Rose and Venus have really stepped forward to be expressed through my creativity and to support women on their feminine awakening journey.
I have raised a daughter and journeyed through the energies of maiden and Mother, the journey of crone now is ahead of me as I integrate all I have learned up to this point.
I am in devotion to the Sacred feminine, to nature and to the awakening that I see taking place. My own awakening is my priority in my life, I believe that we need to fill our own cups, to come to a place of overflow and in that state we are naturally of service to the whole.

Ostara, Spring Equinox Cacao Ceremony
2022-03-20 16:00 - 19:00 | Online
OSTARA – Spring Equinox
Cacao Ceremony online
Sunday 20th March 4-7 pm
£35-£45
Come and drop into this powerful day with Mama Cacao and allow the energies of Ostara to guide you into the heart of what you are planting and nurturing in your life. We will gather around a virtual fire, set intentions for balance, and step into the light that is shimmering beneath the surface of everyday life. There will be space to share as well as teachings and rituals to help you reconnect with the power of Nature and this pivotal marker in the year.

Ostara themes:
Rebirth, resurrection, and renewal
Hope and setting intentions
Planting the seeds for personal growth
Celebrating divine femininity
Ostara is also a wonderful time to work with the elements, as the energy of Earth reaches out to us in fresh ways. The newly emerging herbs and plants of the season lend energetic properties that we had limited access to in the colder months. Some of my favourite Ostara festival traditions revolve around earthly elements.
What is growing in your life right now, not only around you but also within you?
How can you trust your process of growth more?
How are you being asked to bring more balance into your every day?
Where do you need more patience within your life?
What do you truly need right now, and what needs to change for you to receive it, fully?
On the pagan Wheel of the Year, Ostara marks the first day of Spring. While we observe the Spring Equinox on March 21st, Ostara is often celebrated from March 20th to 23rd.
It is a time of planting new seeds, both physically and spiritually. At this time of year, we see new life springing forth, filling us with renewed energy to bring about the best version of ourselves, to create the ideal world that we’d like to see, and to write our own destinies.
We celebrate the seedlings popping up through the dirt as a sign of rebirth, fertility, and new beginnings. Just like the flowers, we needed the chill of winter to hibernate and regenerate so that we can blossom to our full potential.
On the Spring Equinox, night and day are of equal length, reminding us of balance and regeneration.

It’s a time to check in and make sure that we are taking steps to nurture ourselves, providing our spirits and bodies with healthy nutrients, and cutting out anything that may be interfering with our growth.
With equal parts light and dark, this day is a perfect place of balance within the year. It represents the dualities of nature: masculine and feminine, good and evil, above and below, yin and yang.
The first day of Spring is also a significant turning point in the year, where light begins to overturn the darkness we have been hibernating within for so long. It ignites our hope, provides clarity in setting a path for the coming seasons, and gifts us with a reason to celebrate.
Come welcome in Spring in all its glory, connect and be in community on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. Whether this is your first or one of many Cacao ceremonies, please feel warmly welcomed!

This Shamanic Cacao ceremony is for you if you’re called to:
– A place to just take a pause from it all
– Emotional healing
– Embracing a happier and freer you
– Experiencing magic, healing and dreaming as tools for transformational health
– Working with your inner child and archetypal energies
– Deep relaxation
– Embracing creativity
– Reconnecting with self
– Opening your heart and expanding your consciousness
– Exploring plant medicines in a safe and deeply connected way
– Learning to use your intuition and internal guidance system, activating the healer within.
– Experiencing how to work with the power of ceremony and see life as a living ceremony.
After booking, you will receive an email with information regarding the preparation of the cacao and how to access the Zoom. The ceremony will not be recorded as it is a sacred space.
What others have to say about working with me:
Working with Annabelle has given me the container I need to let go of what no longer serves me and to embark on a transformative journey. She creates a beautiful medicine space and paves the way for us to do our own work while she walks alongside us.
Annabelle has made it her life purpose to be a guiding light for others treading the path which she has walked. She shows up with integrity, openness, and honesty. She is down to earth, nurturing, and uncensored.

I see Annabelle simultaneously as a lighthouse and an anchor. She has spent her entire life gathering tools and doing her own work and freely gifts her knowledge and wisdom. She holds space authentically and generously, giving her heart and soul to those of us who’ve been blessed to cross paths with her in this lifetime.
Yasmin.

Looking forward to sharing this celebration with you,
Annabelle
