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.

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.

Earth Care – A Sacred Act of Worship

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.

WHERE AND WHEN:

This experience will be held in and around the grounds of St Mary’s Church Barn Loft on Sunday 6th September.

Please arrive at 10:15 for a 10:30 start. to finish at 14:30. There is plenty of parking.

BOOKING:
Booking is ESSENTIAL due to Covid Regulations with the number of people who can attend.

COST:
The day is free/by donation but there is a nominal £5 registration fee to help us cover the costs of advertising and organising which is payable through the booking link.

BRING:
A blanket, a notebook/journal
An object that connects you to your love for the Earth in some way.

FOOD:
We will have a short lunch break. Please bring yourself some food,

ANY QUESTIONS:
Please call 07797832400 or email mariaearthbeauty@gmail.com

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.

Some Reviews From the Recent Sunday Morning ‘Grounding in Connection’ Online Ecstatic Dance Gatherings and Past Wild Earth Dance Gatherings

 

It is always lovely to fall into the open soft space with Maria”

T Foran

“I feel so ‘cleared out’ – almost like a new person, inside! I felt like we had all been given a gift by you.”
Eleanor O’Callaghan-Mazidian

“Amazing, Amazing …. “
Kinga Gutsowksa

“… such a magical group.”
Joseph David Bras

“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.

Chakra Wave – Uniting Wellbeing

CHAKRA WAVE in ECSTATIC MOVEMENT

This multi layered and colourful mind, body, spirit movement journey will take us through the 7 major chakra centres of our bodies.

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.

This is not a theoretical enquiry but a deep somatic full body journey.

Once we move and open up to softening and releasing, each Chakra and connecting body parts offer us the potential for transformation in the following realms:

About Maria

Women Who Rise and Flow

A feast for the spirit of all women of all ages. A time to come together and dance, sing and share from our hearts.

 

More than ever our world needs empowered re-wilded women.

 

Empowered women are:

Women who are creating connection within themselves and their environment

Women who are allowing their creativity to flow

Women who are healing the bonds with other women

Women who are trusting the wisdom in their bodies

Women who are bold and courageous

 

Dance – Sing – Share – Remember

 

Dance –

We will begin with a journey into our bodies through movement and sound, with meditations and chants to open up our hearts.  Facilitated by Maria of Wild Earth Dance Jersey, this is a free-form movement /dance that allows our bodies to move freely without judgment or concern ‘for the “grace” or beauty of the dance.  It’s an exhilarating inner/outer journey of moving meditation and develops a direct body-mind-spirit connection, letting your body and inner guide be your teachers and healers.

Sing –

Yes we will sing! You will be taught different parts by ear by Kate Valentine, (no word or music sheets are needed) and you choose the one you like or feels most comfortable for your voice. The magic begins as we put the parts together. You’ll be amazed at the power and sheer beauty of hearing your individual parts sung together in harmony.

The Power in the Chakras

 

Are you ready to work deep into the past, present and future to claim the power you have lacked through limiting beliefs, trauma, cultural conditioning and/or a lack of knowledge or application? Are you ready to use the wisdom you already have in your body to guide you with loving presence and direction to increased wellbeing and transformation?

 

🌈 This is an 8 module journey into the powerhouse centres within our bodies starting in February until the end of March. If you cannot attend the whole journey, it is possible to book individual sessions.

🌈 Our chakras connect to our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. We can claim back any lost power with enquiry, reflection, acknowledgment, compassion, and by trusting ourselves to be our own healers with the support of the strong sacred space container in which we will move in.

🌈 What can you expect? We will work with music, movement, toning, trance meditations, essential oils, and with each other as compassionate comrades to restore balance and wholeness into ourselves. This is an exhilarating and liberating journey but also one that works on a profound level in our wellbeing and psyche, and that has a strong emphasis on movement.

🌈 Everyone is welcome. Whether you are seasoned in the path of empowerment through movement, or whether you are completely new, you are welcome to join us. If you joined for a past journey, this will be unique, with new exercises, modalities and meditations, giving you the opportunity to immerse in different material and layers that arise.

🔥 Sun 29th March: 18.30 til 21.00 – Ceremony/Integration and Witness. A celebration of all we are, an embodied integration of all the modules and chakras with an invocation of protection and affirmation of our intentions. This is given as a practice that can be followed daily to strengthen the spirit and live an authentic life that matters to us and those around us.

Influenced with gratitude by wonderful mystics and teachers such as Caroline Myss, Toko-Pa Turner, Ram Dass, Gabrielle Roth and Joanna Macy.  I am honoured to be your guide on this journey. If you cannot attend the whole journey, it is possible to book individual sessions.

Mid-Winter Mystical Dance

 

Mid-Winter Mystical Dance 

[eventButton id=”44″ date_id=”152″][/eventButton]

 

Saturday 21st December, The Bridge Family Centre, St Saviours  7-9.15pm

Gather together with like minded hearts and souls with powerful presence, intent and celebration for this special time of year.
 
In Latin, solstice (mid winter) means ‘sun set still’ and Winter Solstice is the great stillness before the Sun’s strength builds, and days grow longer.
 
We will begin with an optional shared feast at 5pm and then at 7pm we will dance consciously into the fruitful dark out of which new life can eventually emerge. Everything lies dormant in the silent night, a sacred time of rest before the awakening, and the slow build toward longer days. We will also move in celebration for the sun that starts a new cycle at winter solstice and acknowledge the suns rays shining into the dark and nurturing the new life there to be cultivated.
 
This is an offering for life, and also an acknowledgment of the work of Extinction Rebellion Jersey, to gather and celebrate this potent dreaming time and the nourishing movement we have growing in strength here in Jersey.

 

Wild Earth Dance “Conscious Dance”

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 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.

 

This dance will be facilitated by Maria Barnicoat, who first began hosting conscious dance back in 2008 (read my journey here).

 

Everyone is welcome!

COST: BY DONATION on the NIGHT

The dance will be preceded by a shared vegetarian meal from 5-7pm.

Please bring a dish to contribute and huddle amongst like hearted souls for a tasty feast before we move in celebration.
