Autumn Equinox evening hike with Cacao Ceremony (Wed 23rd Sept)

Celebrate autumn Equinox with an stunning evening walk and a transformative cacao cermony at an outdoor Cafe.  

Join us on this gorgeous 8km / 5miles route across some rolling fields and some very idyllic view spots, perfect for an evening stroll.

The autumn equinox represents a time of balance and change. The Autumn Equinox is a time when nature experiences a transformation, and so the season symbolizes a period of reflection and transformation for us. Our Cacao Ceremony will salute the beginning of the autumn and allow you to take time to reflect and encourage us to make the necessary adjustments for personal growth.

Danielle our Wellbeing Coach will introduce us to the finest Ceremonial Grade Criollo Cacao which has been grown, harvested and dried by Ashaninka families. Directly sourced from ancient Cacao gardens of Peru. Drinking Cacao in its purest form allows a deeper connection to ourselves, our own intuition, and inner guidance. (mugs provided) for all of us to .

The cacao ceremony will be held around a fire pit at a hidden gem outdoor cafe Coffee in the Copse.
In this eco-friendly luxury yurts holiday site and working farm, we are invited to gather around the fire pit to celebrate the autumn equinox

Afterwards we’ll head back on our circular route as the sun is setting in the distance.
