Ceremonies, Events & Retreats

I love collaborating with others to create heart-centred nourishing & inspiring events. Here you can find upcoming events and some past highlights.

I regularly work with musicians, combining their beautiful heart music with cacao & fire ceremonies. Past collaborations have included Ravi Freeman, Tallulah Rendall, Scott & Maria, Sunny Davidson, and Carrie Tree.

I am also fortunate enough to be invited to hold ceremonies at retreats and festivals.

If you would like to collaborate, then please get in touch and let's make the majick happen.

Rhonda C

"An absolutely beautiful evening, I loved it so much. I truly loved Sunny’s music, it was new to me and it was absolutely beautiful. The cacao ceremony was absolutely beautiful so natural and heart warming and the fire ceremony was a great way to end a fabulous evening."

Hilary F

"Completely full of delight and strong heart connection. In amongst the challenges of life, I chose to come to as many of your future events as possible as it is what I need in my life, time out, time to relax and time to be with heart-centred people. I found it was deeply sacred."

New & Full Moon Ceremonies

I hold regular cacao & fire ceremonies most full and new moons. We gather in a tipi in Somerset, sharing an intention, connecting and journeying together.

These are deep, powerful and safe spaces for personal insight, healing and growth.

"The magic and thirst-quenching that is the space held by Dan and Paula in the Tipi. The warmth and expansion of Cacao, the acceptance and love that, with awareness and wisdom, shapes the holding offered there, the beauty and alchemy of the fire. Every circle is unique but characterised by these elements. Whenever I come I feel a lift, when I return to my life I am renewed, replenished with appreciation for the gifts of my life and nourished with energy to be a creative energy in my world. Much gratitude to Dan, Paula, the land, Mother Cacao and the moon that calls me there." Jo R

"Attending these Ceremonies with Dan has been a major piece in uncovering and resolving even the deepest and most difficult life traumas I have experienced as well as helping me to be a more balanced and loving person. The ceremonies are always perfectly aligned and very well held. My eternal gratitude to Dan for this space he has created and what it brings to my life and all those it touches."

Vicki P

"Pachamama Cacao weaves her magic through these ceremonies, bringing heart connection and new insights every time. Her medicine is gentle and potent. I love the co-creation of our community and the depth of the journeys we travel together. Thank you Dan for showing up every time, whatever the weather, to prepare and facilitate the gifts given and received in this space."
