Venus Magic - Ritualised Sound Bath

Nicole Bettencourt Coelho's ritualised sound journeys give participants direct, deep encounters with the powers of the seven sacred planets, formerly called the 'wandering stars.' This evening is dedicated to Venus, the force of attraction, love, harmony, sensuality adornment and connection. It opens with a hypnotic visualisation to allow participants to enter a dream-like state, enhanced by Venusian incenses. It then moves into a meditation in sound, in which each person bathes in the Venusian resonances of gongs, crystal bowls, and shakers.  A collective tincture is then ceremoniously made, for each to take home to form part of any ongoing meditation beyond the event. Please 

• dress comfortably as you will be lying down for 45 minutes 
• bring notebook if you would like to write about your journey afterwards
• bring a water bottle, a pillow or blanket or any other comforts / talismans you like
