Holistic Women's Cacao Circle

Holistic Women's Cacao Circle ceremony: Friday 30 October 2026, 18:00–20:30, ILUMA Yoga │ Sauna │ Reformer, Frederiksberg. Tickets cost 345 kr.

Holistic Women's Cacao Circle is an evening of cacao, voice work and ritual as autumn transitions into winter. As the days grow shorter and darkness falls, we gather under the last light of the waning full moon to mark the shift into the year's dark half. The evening blends cacao, music and sisterly community, where our own stories and those of other women - and those before us - can open a deeper connection to our truth.

The programme includes heart-opening cacao, voice work, movement and shared storytelling, as well as a creation that participants build together throughout the evening. Some elements are designed as surprises and are best experienced in the circle - come curious and let the evening unfold.

Cacao is used here as a potent plant medicine that can open the heart to the finer energies around us. Served with care and respect for tradition, it can bring healing and strengthen the connection to nature and the divine within ourselves. The substance theobromine in raw cacao expands blood vessels and stimulates the heart, which is believed to contribute to this "heart-opening" effect. It is recommended to fast for at least 2 hours before the ceremony and drink plenty of water throughout the day so that the cacao's effect can fully unfold.

Bring: your favourite cup, comfortable clothes, a water bottle and an open mind and heart.

The evening is facilitated by Ioana, founder of The Space and co-founder of Acharya Yoga and Singing Bowls. She works with career coaching, sound healing, breathwork, retreats and women's circles, and women's circles are particularly close to her heart - as a space where women can slow down, share honestly and feel the healing in simply being seen. This evening is an invitation to create space for yourself as the year turns towards darkness: to soften, listen inward and find your way back to your own light.
