.
As the celebration of ‘Imbolc’ is upon us, we come together consciously in honour of the new seeds of awakening that are stirring inside of our cells.
.
Many of us set resolutions or goals during the new year, but Imbolc is also a great time for goal setting and thinking about personal development that we’d like to see throughout the year.
.
This is also a great time for planning and creating ideas to help your enterprise grow. If you’ve been thinking about reinventing yourself, trying something new or coming up with new ideas, now is the time.
.
During our time together, a chakra awakening practice will be guided through song, meditation and ecstatic dance, with the beautiful aid of ceremonial cacao to align our intentions with our hearts (the central chakra and bridge between the ground and the ether chakras). The process creates an alchemy within our heart, minds and bodies and helps to expand us where we have contracted. We become less in our left brain and more open to our creative/dreaming side.
.
There will also be time to create vision boards to bring into the earthly plane texture and clarity to all our desires and intentions before we will end our time together with delicious soup and cake (vegan and gluten free).

Alexander Lee-Briard, Maria and friends will offer live music, creative vibes and song for the journey.
.
All materials will be supplied but if you have anything creative you’d like to use please bring it too.
.
Bring: Water, Blanket and a Cushion
Cost: £39. Contact me directly if cost is an issue.
Venue: St Mary’s Barnloft is at the back of St Mary’s Vicarage. Across the road from St Mary’s School and has its own carpark. To access the space you need to come through a gate and walk up some metal stairs to the loft space.

 

BOOK YOUR PLACE HERE

Why Ecstatic Dance?

Why are many of my events centred around Ecstatic Dance?

ecstatic

adjective: feeling or expressing overwhelming happiness or joyful excitement. involving an experience of mystic self-transcendence. 
noun: a person subject to mystical experiences. 

It is the mystical momentum that happens when we put ourselves intentionally into motion, within community to let our truth speak through our bodies.

It is the practice of the heart

It is the offering of the soul to life.

The remedy for stagnation.

The remedy for heartbreak.

The remedy for numbness.

A unique place and time with the invitation to show up just as you are.

Not for entertainment, not with expectation, not to people please.

A place and practice to bring our boxed away messiness into the open to breathe and to play.

To have a chance to be witnessed and transformed by the alchemy of conscious exposure.

To know that all parts of us are welcome. Somewhere. Without censorship.

A practice to surrender to the bubbling potential that arises from our surrender to being an intrinsic, colourful, bright and also shadowy part of nature.

Our ecstatic dance community knows the medicine that comes from being truth.

We are the medicine for each other.

An offering en masse baring the beautiful and painful imperfections of life.

Where else can you adventure into the heart of your spirit with inclusivity and full permission to let go of all right and wrongs?

Where else can you fall at your own feet in awe and wonder at the mystery of the fabric we weave together?

Where else can you burn freely and wildly in the alchemical fires of passion and transformation?

Where else can we find safety in the vulnerability of showing your soul, whilst stomping millenial karmic dust and tribulation into the ground?

Here we honour each other and the tenderness that arises from the re-connection of the cells in the body.

A homely playground of truth, tenderness, bravery and curious willingness.

 

Chakra Love Alchemy – 8 Week Immersion


 

What is Chakra Love Alchemy?

An 8 week intensive dance-sing-prayerful-movement immersion into the mysterious spiral fabric of your body and psyche.

Influenced by wonderful mystics and teachers such as Caroline Myss, Toko-Pa Turner, Ram Dass, Reginald Ray, Gabrielle Roth and Joanna Macy. You are invited to be part of a core group working deep with the past, present and future to claim the power you have lost on life’s journey.

Starting in April 2022, if you cannot attend the whole journey, it is also possible to book individual sessions.

🌈 Our chakras connect strongly with our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. They are healthy when we are empowered and energised through life experience, initiations and environmental factors. They are weakened through personal trauma, ancestral trauma, illness and stagnation physically, emotionally and spiritually.

🌈 We can claim back lost energy in them with enquiry, reflection, witness and embodied movement; acknowledging our interconnectedness and with that, our intrinsic need to attend to our wounds – becoming our own sovereign healers.

🌈 What can you expect? We will work through the heart rendering and powerful medicine of ceremonial cacao with self enquiry, movement, mantra, meditations, kundalini yoga and with each other as compassionate comrades to restore balance and wholeness into ourselves within each theme of each chakra. This is a full-bodied exhilarating and liberating journey but also one that works on a profound level in our wellbeing and psyche.

🌈 Everyone is welcome. Whether you are seasoned in personal growth through chakra work, or whether you are completely new, you are welcome to join us. If you joined for a past chakra journey, this will be unique, with new exercises, modalities and meditations.

WHAT ARE YOU INTERESTED IN?


Holy Ma – Heart of Awakening

 

Holy Ma – Heart of Awakening

You are invited to a series of regenerative heart-re-wilding re-membering gatherings – engaging in community co-creatively with the spiritual opportunities that are emerging right now on Planet Earth.

A journey through a five part series to pay reverence to the Earth and mystery of life on Earth and to reclaim, embody and remember the power and sacredness at the core of who we are, through the modalities of mantra, ecstatic dance body-prayer, voicework, reflective enquiry, meditation and the ceremonial medicine of Cacao.

We are now in the Age of Aquarius and we are the ones we have been waiting for to bring ourselves liberation. Let’s come together as children of the Earth, imagine what’s possible for a world we want to leave behind, and immerse in the process of unravelling and creating healing from the magical messiness of our evolving humanness together.

Each gathering will be held by Maria Barnicoat and Guests who will include Alex Lee Briard (Violin), Tom Nalichowski (Gong and Sound bath) .

We will meet each time within a ceremonial setting with Cacao.  When we drink ceremonial grade Cacao consciously, she adapts to the needs of each person and helps them to connect and feel openness in their heart. She offers a deep journey of healing our pathway to love and brings immense clarity of mind and profound insights. She is said to reveal patterns, cultivate self-love, increase consciousness and support us in our path and personal growth.

In Western culture we’re not used to see plants as sacred, work with their spirit or allocate them certain powers. There is a lot we can learn from plants and knowledge from native culture. We are blessed that cacao is now being used as a medicine for connection and restoring our true humanity in the west.

What to bring?

Please bring layers you can remove and put on as your body temperature changes with our journey. Bring a blanket and water.

How to prepare?

It heightens the potential of the ceremony if you lightly fast during the day and avoid alcohol, caffeine, meats and dairy for 24 hours before.

Precautions

Its best to consult your physician before booking a ticket if you are : Taking Antidepressants, taking hypertension medication, if you are Pregnant (it is likely still safe to consume ceremonial cacao but at lower doses) and if you have a heart condition. Please email me if unsure and if you have any questions: mariaearthbeauty@gmail.com

Refund/Cancellation Policy

All cancellations within 5 days will be issued a full refund. Cancellations thereafter up to 48 hours before will be issued a credit for the amount of the ticket. Any cancellations less than 48hours in advance are non-refundable/non-creditable.

Full Moon Cacao Ceremony

 

(Please note if the weather is good we will be holding this in a north easterly outdoor location to be confirmed 24 hours before our event)

Dear friends
You are invited to join us for a rich ceremonial journey with the sacred plant medicine, cacao.

Cacao adapts to the needs of each person and helps them to connect and feel openness in their heart. She offers a deep journey of healing our pathway to love and brings immense clarity of mind and profound insights.

She is said to reveal patterns, cultivate self-love, increase consciousness and support us in our path and personal growth.

In Western culture we’re not used to see plants as sacred, work with their spirit or allocate them certain powers. There is a lot we can learn from plants and knowledge from native culture. We are blessed that cacao is now being used as a medicine for connection and restoring our true humanity in the west.

What to expect?

We will begin within 10 minutes of arrival time (please arrive at 6:15 to have plenty of time to settle) and we will officially open and set our sacred container. The middle part of the ceremony is a shared group experience with cacao and a guided ecstatic dance body-prayer. We will end with a closing where we give thanks, and acknowledge what the group created during our time.

What to bring?

Please bring many warm layers. Especially if we will be outside, the temperature drops a lot once the sun goes down. Also bring a blanket and water and some food to share at the end of the journey. Bring a camp chair if you do not wish to sit on the ground.

How to prepare?

It is really helpful for the ceremony if you lightly fast during the day and avoid alcohol, caffeine, meats and dairy for 24 hours before.

Outside venue

If the weather is good the ceremony will be held in an outdoor location on the North East of the island. All participants will be notified 24 hours in advance if this is the case.

Precautions

Its best to consult your physician before booking a ticket if you are : Taking Antidepressants, taking hypertension medication, if you are Pregnant (it is likely still safe to consume ceremonial cacao but at lower doses) and if you have a heart condition.

Midsummer Alchemy

 

Join us for a playful, prayerful, feast of a celebration for this Summer Solstice on the beautiful grounds of Reg’s Garden.

An alcohol free event – this promises to be a solar treat for the heart and soul! With a gorgeous official opening of our sacred space, a deep guided body prayer by Maria, some beautiful live music and drumming from the Balaphones (Maz, Jim and Anita), locally made/foraged delicious drinks and food for everyone attending, and a sharing of sacred ayurvedic wisdom for the summer by Tina Foran.

Summer is brewing! After we’ve all landed together with a focus on opening our sacred space, we will ignite and feed our innate longing for re-connection through conscious, guided movement into the body with Maria.  Conscious body-prayer dancing in community gives us an other-worldly medicinal portal to melt and heal our hearts, and offers us the courage and possibility to emerge from ourselves, a clearer version of ourselves, fresh from the intention and exhilaration of the movement.

Our lovely Tina will share with us how our inner alchemy can work best for us this Summer. Fire is light, heating and transformative. Keeping our cool is a great medicine with Ayurveda. Tina is a qualified medical Ayurvedic Practitioner and she specialises in the promotion of selfcare for health and well-being. You can find her at https://ayurvedicriver.com/

At the end of our time, we will sit and eat together on the ground (bring savoury food for feast after – we will supply drinks and sweet locally made treats!)

 

Bring: water, blanket

Wear: comfy layers

Cost: £15 earlybird price before 6th June and £20 thereafter.

Please contact if issues with online payment.

Honouring the Dark Time

 

ZOOM LINK HERE

Let us celebrate with full bodied dancing dreams, the great stillness before the Sun’s strength builds, and the days grow longer.

Blessing within movement, the fruitful dark out of which new life can eventually emerge, we come together asking: what do the suns rays shine onto in the deep earth of our being? What is asked of us in the darkness? What new life is there calling for nourishment?

This is a dance that cleanses your mind with sweat and breath: laughter and prayer. We let go of conversation, dissolve into movement, drop deep into the body and discover the anatomy of the soul. We will move through personal exploration into a loving, intimate relationship with body, mind, heart, and source energy and awaken our imaginations together in a field of connected dreaming. We are powerful, creative beings and the dance facilitates in us a liberation of that beautiful power and intent.

Join the dance by pre-registering HERE .

We invite you to this event as part of a wider Campfire World Harmony at Winter Solstice gathering, which starts 09:00 Sunday 20th and runs through until 14:00 Monday.

One link gives access to all events. We have been preparing the ground and sowing the seeds that are ready to break through; a fertile combination of experiential learning, music, ritual, heart-centred business, eco-community and conscious social networking.

World Harmony is part of Campfire’s evolving online event blueprint – an exploration of how we bring people together around a shared vision of unity and connection.

Help Build This Together.

Your ‘pay what you feel’ donation helps support Campfire to continue to build and adapt our blueprint to whatever is needed to be responsive to what is arising both personally and collectively

Chakra Wave in Ecstatic Movement – Online Intensive

CHAKRA WAVE in ECSTATIC DANCE/MOVEMENT

This multi layered mind, body, spirit movement journey will take us through the 7 major chakra centres and 7 corresponding spiritual life lessons week by week.

 

By bringing these parts of our bodies into conscious movement, with delicious music and enticing invitations, we are able to dive deep within to release stuck and stagnant energy and stories that we have inherited and created within our bodies throughout our life journey. Ecstatic dance combined with meditations and mantras encourages a deep awakening and transformation within the body.

 

Each Chakra and connecting body parts offer us the potential for transformation within 7 Sacred Spiritual Life Lessons:

 

🌈 SUNDAY 24th May 11.00am

1st Chakra “ALL IS ONE” Muladhara/Grounding/Belonging/ Earth: The Root Chakra.  A portal back to where we came from. Acknowledging the past and our ancestral lineage. What belief patterns did you inherit from your family? What traumas did they endure? Which of those belief systems do you acknowledge are no longer serving you? Do you have unfinished business with your family? What blessings came from your family? Shining the light on the potential to transform your sense of ground, security, belonging and connection to mother earth, mother, tribe and birth.

 

🌈 SUNDAY 31st May – 11.00am

2nd Chakra “HONOR ONE ANOTHER” Svadisthana/Passion/Creativity/ Fire: The Sacral Chakra. A portal into our need for relationships and our sense of power, money and survival in our physical environment. How often do you direct your creative energies into negative paths of expression? Are you comfortable with your sexuality? Do you keep your word? Are you a controlling person? SShining the light on the potential to transform your sense of relating and abundance.

 

🌈 SUNDAY 7th June – 11.00am

3rd Chakra “HONOR ONESELF” Manipura/Confidence/Personal Power/ Fire: The Solar Plexus Chakra. A portal into our sense of self-esteem, self-confidence and self-respect. Do you like yourself? If not what don’t you like and why? Are you actively working to change the things you don’t like? Are you critical of others? Do you need the approval of others? Are you continually wishing your life was different? Shining the light on the potential to transform your sense of relating to yourself and your identity with ease and grace.

 

🌈 SUNDAY 14th June – 11.00am

4th Chakra “LOVE IS DIVINE POWER” – Anahata/Compassion/Acceptance/Air: The Heart Chakra. A journey into our ability to let go, our ability to forgive and feel inner peace. What emotional memories do you still need to heal? Do you allow yourself to be controlled by the wounds of another person? What steps have you taken or will you take to prevent that from happening again?  Do you associate emotional health with no longer needing an intimate relationship? What have you done that needs forgiving? Who do you have to forgive? Shining the light on the potential to transform your sense of love, forgiveness, acceptance and compassion.

 

🌈 SUNDAY 28th June – 11.00am

5th Chakra “SURRENDER TO DIVINE WILL” – Vishuddha/Deliverance/Authenticity/ Ether: The Throat Chakra.  A journey through the maturation of the willpower to true inner authority. What is your definition of being strong willed? Who has control over your willpower and why? Are you able to sense when you are receiving guidance to act upon? What fears do you have associated with divine guidance? Do you trust guidance that has no proof of outcome? Shining the light on the potential to align your path and choices with divine will.

 

🌈 SUNDAY 5th July – 11.00am

6th Chakra “SEEK ONLY THE TRUTH – The Power of the Mind ” – Ajna/Intuition/Foresight/ Ether: The Third Eye Chakra. A journey into our mental body, our sense of symbolic sight and psychological characteristics. Are you judgmental? What people or situations bring that out in you? What attitudes do you have that disempower you? What beliefs do you have that cause you to interpret the actions of others in a negative way? Shining the light on the potential to transform your sense of truth and beliefs.

 

🌈 SUNDAY 12th July – 11.00am

7th Chakra “LIVE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT – Transcendence” Sahasrara/Unity/Divine Intelligence/ Ether: The Crown Chakra. A journey into our connection to life force energy, inspirational and prophetic thoughts, transcendent ideas and mystical connections.  What spiritual truths are you aware of that you do not live by? Are you devoted to a spiritual path?  What prevents you from continuing desired spiritual practices? Are you afraid of a closer spiritual connection to the divine because of the changes it might trigger in your life? Shining the light on the potential to transform your sense of spirituality.

J Forrest

“HI Maria, just want to say how much I enjoyed and benefited from the on line wild dance events. I am really looking forward to joining the next series. I was a little unsure whether online would work for me, but found that I felt really well connected throughout to all the friendly people who joined in. The choice of music and the “company” of yourself and my fellow dancers all added up to a special experience.”
G Louis

“I was surprised how I felt so much better in myself after the online dance gathering ….”

SOME QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE:

1/ Will this involve me dancing?

Yes, but its not the kind of dancing where you will be focussing on looking good nor entertaining. Ecstatic dance is a mindful deep guided journey into the body, with continual invitations and reminders from me where your focus should be – which is in the body,  and just being witness to the voices and stories that are playing out in the mind without attaching to them, so that you can let your body move with your authenticity, moment by moment. Its a great meditation practice and one that many find easier than stillness meditation. Its no surprise that dance has been a practice of all indigenous cultures through the ages to connect them to their bodies and spirits. Once you’ve tried this a few times, it becomes more and more easy to drop into the body, and for some it is instantaneous.

2/ I’m physically impaired and can’t move about/can’t move for long. Can I still join?

Absolutely. You can be just as present and able to journey deeply into the body whilst sitting in a chair, moving your arms, fingers, head, neck, feet … whatever or wherever it is that you have some movement. The sessions have been created to aid the dropping in journey with special music, drums, sound and mantras. Everyone can come to this and get something very wholesome out of it.

3/ I wouldn’t be able to stay for the whole session, is that ok?

Your presence in this process really makes a difference. Especially as we are tuning in to each other online. Leaving early would not only diminish your experience of the journey, but it would also impact the sense of presence in the zoom room, so I ask that all participants can stay from the beginning to the end to support the process for everyone.
