From 5pm, we open the space for an intentional and held exploration of medicine beyond the pharmaceutical — reconnecting to the wisdom of breath, rhythm, and ritual.

5:30pm – Plant Medicine Ceremony of Lavender, Rosemary & Cacao. Led by Josh & Faye of The Cacao Cove
6:00pm – Guided Energising Breathwork with Ray of Breathe Clarity

_ Plant Medicine Ceremony _
Rooted in reverence for the land and guided by Indigenous wisdom, our Ceremony is a gentle return to what has always been here. An invitation to reconnect with the living medicine already present beneath our feet. We lovingly grew, harvested, and prepared the lavender and rosemary ourselves. Paired with ceremonial cacao, we create a space of grounding and heart-opening; a space to listen. Supported by Indigenous teachings that remind us we belong to the Earth, not apart from it. This ceremony is not about seeking something outside ourselves, but about remembering our connection to our own land, our own bodies, and the wisdom that has always been growing around us.

_ Energising Breathwork _
Breath is the bridge between medicine and rhythm. Ray from Breathe Clarity will guide a short but powerful breathwork activation bridging the cacao ceremony into ecstatic dance.
Exploring how breath influences the nervous system, Ray will share simple, embodied teaching on diaphragmatic breathing, activation, and how we consciously shift state through breath.
Through rhythmic breathing, sound, and movement, this session gently increases energy in the system, allowing stored tension to move and preparing the body for free expression in dance.

_ Ecstatic Medicine Dance _
Tolga Tres is a musician, sound journey facilitator, interdisciplinary artist and DJ based in London. His musical path has unfolded across the cultural scenes of Istanbul and London for over a decade through solo work and a range of collaborations. A practitioner and explorer of musical mysticism, his work is shaped by deep listening and the transcendental qualities of sound. Rooted in world music and tribal influences, as well as his Anatolian heritage, his music forms a synthesis of ancestral and futuristic expression. Through rhythm and texture, he creates immersive sonic environments that invite presence, introspection, and ritual.

🌙 Part II: Dinner & Live Medicine Music Concert (8–11pm)

8:00pm – Doors Open for Concert Guests
**8:30pm ** - Vegan Dinner served for Concert Guests: Roast Vegetable Couscous (or GF Quinoa) with Sweet Potato Pakoras

Following our shared meal, we gather for a live medicine music concert with Linos Wengara Magaya of Zimbabwe, who will share the spiritual and healing properties of his music in conversation and through an intimate and heartfelt performance.

_ Linos Wengara Magaya _
Linos Wengara Magaya is a Zimbabwean musician who has been specialising in authentic Zimbabwean traditional Mbira music for decades. The mbira dzavadzimu ('mbira of the ancestors'), also known as the nhare mbira ('iron mbira'), is a lamellaphone idiophone of the Zezuru Shona people of Zimbabwe.
