Autumn Equinox Day Retreat with Cacao Ceremony, Movement Meditation, Fire Ceremony + Gong Bath
This healing & nourishing Autumn Equinox Day Retreat is intended to help you Connect with your Higher Self, Ground, Expand your Consciousness and Open more to the Love that is your Essence. Fully open your Heart, aided by Cacao & the Ceremonial Space, so that you may Flow into Autumn more anchored in your Heart Light, letting go of all energies that no longer serve. Take time out to nourish, heal, get clarity, reset and nurture yourself. Set powerful Intentions & welcome in the Magic of Autumn! The more you anchor in the Truth of your Heart, the more you open up to a life of greater Joy, Clarity, Love & Grace.
The auspicious Autumn Equinox in the northern hemisphere, is a potent time to welcome inner Balance. The Equinox is a time of equal hours of night and day & brings powerful energies of Balance and high vibration energies to shift your consciousness. (In the southern hemisphere the Equinox brings the start of Spring). At this time, where the veil between dimensions is said to be thinner, you can amplify your powers of dreaming & manifestation and sow fertile Seeds for the new chapter that is to unfold as you flow into a nourishing aligned Autumn season.
This Retreat is intended to help you magnetise the powerful energies of Balance, so you may cultivate Balance in all areas of your life & to help support you to manifest your Dreams and Visions this Autumn. It is a Blessing to gathering in sacred Ceremony at this auspicious time. This Retreat is also an opportunity to reflect upon the fruits of the Summer and to consciously transition from Summer to Autumn, aligning with the cycles of Nature. Fully letting go of the yang activity of Summer & surrendering into the nourishing yin energy of Autumn, full of infinite possibilities.
Take time out to fully nourish, restore and nurture yourself and consciously transition into the new season of Autumn. This will be a deeply healing Retreat in a peaceful Sanctuary. A safe space to feel, embrace yourself as you are, release the old & welcome the Autumn in a sacred community of Heart souls. You can accelerate your spiritual growth by intentional inner journeying with like-minded souls in a Ceremonial space.
The invitation is to Open your Heart to more Love & Peace & shine your Light! Give yourself permission to truly BE yourself. Gather in community & focus on who you Truly are - an incredible & powerful being of Love Light! Let go of fear & anchor in Love, Trust, Courage Peace & Joy. Let go of feeling alone & gather in a nurturing Community.

This will be an intimate Retreat in a safe and lovingly held space in a magical & intimate private location in South West London (the full address is revealed upon booking). The Fire Ceremony will be in our Healing Garden Sanctuary if the weather is dry, being held by Mother Earth. Otherwise inside in our beautiful & magical private healing Temple space with our indoor fireplace.
Working with the Spirit of Cacao & Rose to open your Heart & boost your intentions. Cacao is a sacred ceremonial medicine used by the ancients in Southern and Central America for thousands of years, where it was seen as “a hotline to the Divine”. Cacao is a light and gentle plant medicine but it can also work more deeply on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Rose is also a gentle Heart opener & I love working with both Mama Cacao & Rose to support Heart Healing. In sacred circle with Mama Cacao & Rose, we'll receive a Heart & Light Body Activation & DNA upgrade, a Chakra Balancing & Divine Mother Healing & share our Intentions, in the spirit of Unity, Equality and Community, all Hearts’ joining as One.
We'll ground & gently move the body with some Movement Meditation to allow Mama Cacao to work her Magic in our bodies to move stagnant energy & open our Heart.
Our purifying, cleansing & releasing Fire Ceremony will support you to release any blocks & stagnant energy. And help activate the flames of your Heart, to open to more Love & Celebrate your Inner Light. The Fire Ceremony will be supported with the power of the sacred Drum & sacred vocal Sound- we will all open our voices & dance together in community! Open to more of your Inner Light as we Align with Autumn!
The Retreat ends with a nourishing mini Gong Bath of around 15 minutes to integrate, heal, soothe and wash away any lower energies.
Arrive on time to land & ground in the space, have a welcome herbal tea & connect with others. DOORS CLOSE 15 minutes after the start time. The sacred space will stay open after we end for those that want to connect more.
Magic happens in sacred ceremonial spaces. I would be honoured if you allowed me to guide you through this Retreat journey, back into the One Heart.
May this Retreat be a full Remembrance of who you Truly Are. May our collective Light uplift the whole of humanity & support those that are suffering, sick or deeply in fear. For we are Beacons of Light that have chosen to be on Earth at this time. We already are what we are seeking. So let's shine together, for together we are stronger!

ABOUT ME
I Love nothing more than to enable people to become more aware of their Divine Heart Self and to remember the powerful creator that they are. We each have the power to manifest Infinite Possibilities and to live a life of Grace & Ease. To truly know ourselves is, I believe, the greatest gift we can offer to humanity. I Love to create a deep sacred space in which others can connect to their Heart & Higher Self, beyond the mind. To open more to Self Love & Compassion. My passion for supporting others to remember their Divine Infinite Self has taken me to teaching Meditation, Yoga, facilitating wellbeing Workshops, Ceremonies including with Cacao, Retreats, Conscious Community Celebrations, Wellness Festivals & offering Private Wellbeing sessions with Intuitive Heart Wisdom Healing, Reiki & Multi-Dimensional Energy Healing, Gong Healing, Breathwork, Indian Head Massage, Yoga Therapy & Meditation Coaching.
TESTIMONIALS (of previous Workshops, Retreats & Ceremonies)
The Equinox Retreat was such a beautiful day of sharing, connecting, learning and embracing the seasonal changes. I am so happy I was able to attend and be a part of such a magical day. The environment was so cosy, inspiring and welcoming. Fouzia provides a beautiful safe space for us all to just come and be. She has so much love in her heart, and such gentle guidance. I truly recommend attending one of her events or meeting with her in a one to one session if you haven't already. It was a really amazing day that helped me learn more and set my intentions for what I want in my life. I'm really looking forward to more of Fouzia's events and also the next retreat in November♥ " Jenny, London
"The cacao ceremony allowed me to really focus on my intention which was the wish to thrive in my life. The atmosphere was very open, warm and supportive. I gained real clarity about how I wanted my life to look. Since then magical things have happened in my life (landed a dream job, travel, better health) and I feel I can really thank Fouzia for expertly holding the space for deep inner reflection, focus and the consequential manifestation of my wish not just to survive but to thrive." Annie, London
"I have been attending Fouzia's Cacao Ceremonies for the past few months which has given me space to truly open my heart. The community feel of the ceremonies are both powerful and welcoming. I was a beginner to Cacao, and I am so grateful to have found Fouzia to assist me on this healing journey as she radiates strength, softness, and beauty in all ways which creates a wonderful safe space to work with the Magical Cacao. No words can express how grateful I am to Fouzia and what she has done for me on my healing/ transformation journey. I look forward to attending the next cacao ceremony, Thank you from my heart to yours." Katie
"Before the Cacao Ceremony, I had only been to two of your events (The Healing Garden Wellness Festival and a Yoga workshop) but each time I feel such a nurturing and held experience, and that is completely with thanks to your kind and healing energy and the lessons of the heart you so willingly and carefully share. Thank you for being such a giving teacher and reminding me to connect to the heart, over and over as many times as I need. The space you hold is an anchor in itself and helps to steady me for whatever the ocean may bring." Fiona, London
A beautiful Cacao Ceremony - a beautiful evening, with beautiful souls...I floated home! "WOW!!!! What an experience!!! Sooo amazing....I felt "drunk" on heart centered love. And my sleep was soooo deep, I felt "drunk" on life - an inside experience - truly amazing! Fouzia Javaid facilitated the evening with love, heart and grace. Very, very tasty Cacao, the best I have EVER tasted! " Caroline, London
“I really love the sessions you do, they are the most powerful I have ever experienced.” Arabella, London
"Joining Fouzia's sessions are always blissful, beautiful gatherings, amazing vibration, feeling peace, love and a deep sense of relief. Thank you."
"I attended Fouzia's cacao ceremony last week, wow!! I had such an amazing experience as I always do at Fouzia's workshops/events. She is a beautiful soul full of love and wisdom and everything she does is from a heart-centered perspective and you can really feel this during the workshops whether it's a cacao ceremony, ecstatic dance or a chakra yoga and meditation workshop. You will be made to feel so welcome and loved and will leave feeling a whole lot lighter, happier, balanced and grounded. She is an inspiration to all and you will reap many benefits from attending any of her events." Louis, London
“Fouzia is a gifted teacher of meditation and the living embodiment of its benefits. She radiates calm and compassion... and is an inspiration to anyone seeking self-improvement or simply the means to find stillness in our hectic modern world." Paul, London
"I highly recommend Fouzia's classes for anyone wishing to go deeper on their path and leave calm and relaxed, where the feelings stay with you for a good few days after class. You will leave with a deep sense of peace as well as grounded, something much needed in hectic London life. Thank you." Tasha, London
“Fouzia is a fantastic teacher, very patient and attentive. Her classes are very gentle but incredibly powerful with a focus on the spiritual side of yoga that is often sadly neglected in the west. I feel like I've had an amazing healing after her classes. Highly recommended!” Suzanne, London
"A beautiful loving experience as always...Fouzia radiates so much love and such warmth and guidance." Jenny, London
"I have never met someone as warm, loving, understanding, patient and welcoming as Fouzia. She holds space like no other and I feel this is part of why I felt safe enough to release so much where I have not previously. I highly recommend all of her events, they are all always amazing and I always enjoy them more than most others. The Quantum Shift Party is my favourite event of the year in London! I do indeed feel like I had a deep quantum shift at her last cacao ceremony!" David, London
