Join Donna and Frankie for Reignite the Light - a deeply nourishing Leo New Moon ceremony where your heart, body and creative spirit are welcomed with tenderness.
Held in an energetically grounded space, this evening is a gentle yet powerful invitation to reconnect with joy, ignite heart aligned courage, and express your inner light.
Through the warmth of ceremonial cacao, guided meditation, restorative yoga and immersive sound healing, we return home to the heart, where strength, authenticity and expression begin.
Whether you are in a time of personal change, seeking deeper connection, or ready to welcome more visibility and joy, this space offers a soft and potent path inward.
With grounding rituals, journaling, heart medicine and sound, you will be held and seen just as you are. The evening is infused with intention, warmth and care - a space to rest, reflect and reconnect with your true essence.
This is more than a ceremony. It is a homecoming.
Come as you are. Leave with your inner fire rekindled.
You are not here to be small. You are here to be true.
We gather in sacred circle with the heart opening medicine of Mama Cacao. Through ritual, breath and stillness, we journey inward, guided by the elements, the Four Directions and the wisdom of the Medicine Wheel.
As we call in the energies of North, South, East and West, along with the Earth below, Sky above and Heart within. We honour the cycles of nature and the deep knowing within our own bodies.
Mama Cacao invites us to soften, listen deeply and open our hearts. Her medicine offers clarity, healing and remembrance, helping us release what no longer serves and welcome new possibilities with grace.
This is a return - to self, to source, to the infinite beauty within.
Please bring your journal, and if you feel called, something to place on the altar - a crystal, flower, photo or written prayer.
What to expect:
Ceremonial cacao to open the heart and guide you inward
Guided meditation and intentional journaling for clarity and connection
Restorative yoga to calm the nervous system and support deep surrender
Immersive sound healing to regulate, soothe, and realign energy
Wisdom of the Medicine Wheel and elemental rituals to connect with nature’s cycles
Time for reflection, integration, and reconnection with your inner light
