Cacao & Pottery Experience

Service Description

Indulge in a heart-opening and creativity-enhancing ceremonial cacao session, guided meditation and pottery! Create with intention & transmute your tensions through creative energy. Pottery is an amazing way to express & set intentions. We focus our energy, we relax, all within an environment of play and exploration. It’s soft, sometimes it shifts and moves, it becomes something new, it surprises us – But there’s something magical in the concept of taking something from your mind or heart and working with it , and bringing it in to a 3-dimensional space. We can imagine it’s like working with massage – instead of working on the body and the physical tissue – we are taking our energy and working out the knots in our mind and emotions. Through touch and soothing strokes, we calm the nervous system and mind – making more space for creativity to blossom. NO ART EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY Why pottery?
