This is an opportunity to work with me through the stars and planets in the cosmos IN PERSON IN JERSEY!!
And in much smaller group than I usually hold!
Also, until Friday 19th July it is being offered at a greatly reduced price!
Understanding and yielding my uniqueness through the codes in my astrological natal chart gave me incredible insight, and helped guide the course and flavour of my life from very early on and I want to give you the opportunity to reap the benefits of your uniqueness too, no matter how old or young you are.
This is fundemental and universal knowledge for life.
THE COSMOS IN ME is an exploratory, reflective, interactive, playful, fascinating and empowering journey into the recesses of your psyche, and a journey which aims to bring transformation in your relationships, family, career and all the aspects of life that you are calling it in.
What Potential Lies in Your Astrological Birth Chart?
Your relationship dynamics to your whole self lies in the wheel of your birth chart. Through reading and understanding your chart, together we will unravel:
The pathway and portal to your purpose on Earth.
Fully knowing your SELF and bringing play, celebration into who you are.
Understanding and embodying your feminine receptive/intuitive nature and innate needs for regeneration.
The potential within your mental realm, your communication and how to reap the best from it.
Your pathway to yield abundance and claim life’s bounty.
Your relationship karma and how to feel more empowered in the relationship you are in or call in the right partner for you
Your deepest wounds, strongest karmic lessons and how you can transform them to reap their power.
Your raw masculine assertive power and how to claim it fully in a way that aligns to better life on earth.
The endeavours that will help you personally to expand and flourish the most.
Understanding how future transits of the planets will influence/change your mood/energy/lifestyle.
This course will be solely taught by myself.
I’ve studied astrology in-depth since I was in my early twenties. I self studied through many books and had a personal astrology tutor who lived in Jersey. Since then I have consulted many professional astrologers and gained an even broader understanding of the planets and own relationship to them. My most resonant influence has been ‘Astropsychology’ a term coined by Carl Jung in the school of Analytical Psychology, and also sometimes referred to as Humanistic Astrology. This incorporates understanding and support from the greek god planetary archetypes as well as the main collective unconscious psychological archetypes, which form a common foundation for the experiences of all human beings.
This course is for you if you ….
Are wanting to reap, celebrate and embody your innate gifts for the benefit of all beings.
Are ready to uncover and transform the hidden power within the deepest wounds and challenges your life brings you, and integrate the empowered blueprint of your chart’s potential into your life.
Want to clear stuckness/depressive energy and immerse in an embodied flow that happens when tapped into your authentic needs.
Have a curiosity for understanding the universal connections and mythic realm within the fabric of the cosmos, and the links therein to your psyche.

🌱 Chakra Soul Journey/Dance Meditation
❤️Vision Board Creating
🌱Sacred Sharing Circle
❤️Alchemical Body-Prayer Dance
🌱Conscious Communion
❤️Soup & Cake Share (GF+VE)
.
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.

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.

🌈 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.

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.
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!)

Our contribution towards the care-taking of this planet is KEY for a strong sense of spiritual fulfilment in this lifetime.
Join us for a powerfully moving journey, to reconnect with and anchor back into your love for the earth, and your unique and sacred part in the creating of an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling & socially just presence on Earth.
This multi-textured, emotive and creative experience is held and facilitated through an investigation into the following important questions:
• What was the unconscious collective mindset that got us to this crisis point in evolution?
• What role does spirituality have in transforming our world?
• How we can exist in a web of like-minded individuals to be the change we want to see in our world today?
• What is our personal, authentic and innate gift to contribute to our world during this time of upheaval and great change? Where do our passions meet what the world most needs?
• How can we use the power of our imaginations and our creativity in our visions of tomorrow?
We have almost no time left to act as protectors of life on Earth and to pull together to hold a ground of consciousness, resilience and wellbeing.
We need to move while we can, before we experience a collapse into free fall, where conducive spaces to share and organise are replaced by the shock of societies becoming more chaotic and dismembered as our life support systems die.

MORE INFO:
Created by the “Pachamama Alliance”, this interactive journey “Awakening the Dreamer” takes a fresh look at our most critical current concerns – environmental sustainability, social justice and spiritual fulfilment – and explores the connections between them. It offers a unique insight into the nature of our world, with leading-edge information, dynamic group interaction and inspiring video clips from some of the world’s most respected thinkers and doers, including Paul Hawken, Joanna Macy, Desmond Tutu, Prince Ea, Julia Butterfly Hill, Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry, Van Jones and Charles Eisenstein.
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.

“I was touched by your presence and by the gentle but powerful container that you held us in … the naturalness with which you held yourself and shared that love and humour with us..”
Cath Brown
“Beautifully held space, great choice of music and wonderful ending meditations. These ‘online’ dances provide a great opportunity to go deeper into your own dance, without the distraction of others, which has been interesting to explore.”
J Jones
“A lovely introduction to meditative dance!”
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 ….”
J Liffey
“During these times especially it feels good to be connected to our dance community … I felt our space very well held by your gentle guidance … It was much easier to link up and have a sense of connection on Zoom than I thought it would be.”
M Heaney
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.
