Temple of the Divine Yoga & Sound Hosted by Fay Rosamond
A Women’s Ceremony of Cacao • Rose • Blue Lotus
I warmly invite you into a day of ritual, movement and rest, held at the sacred turning point of Imbolc — the ancient threshold where winter loosens its grip and the first light of spring begins to breathe through the dark.
This is a moment of first awakening.
A soft unfurling.
Where inner light glistens once more within the inner temple.
We gather as women in the luminous hall of Ashton Court Manor, held by stone, history and spacious beauty. Here, we honour the quiet intelligence of the season as we move from stillness into renewal, from shadow into warmth, from gestation into gentle bloom.
Guided by the ancient plant allies Cacao, Rose and Blue Lotus, we enter ceremony together — opening the heart, soothing the body, and remembering the deep wisdom already alive within us. These plants invite devotion, tenderness and truth; they guide us back into our bodies, into sisterhood, into beauty and embodied presence.
This offering is a women’s temple — a sanctuary of softness and remembrance.
A space to rest, receive and return.
A place where joy, bliss and inner beauty are not sought, but revealed.
Through ritual, yoga, sound and stillness, we honour the sacred transition from dark to light — allowing what has been held through winter to gently dissolve, and welcoming the luminous essence of spring to rise within us.
This is a space to gather.
To listen.
To be nourished — individually and together.
A remembering of your inner light, your inner temple, and the quiet radiance that has always been there.
Held as a Imbolc women's temple, this ceremony invites us to release, to soften our attachments, and to rest into the richness of embodied presence. Through movement, sound and stillness, we open to peace, beauty and grace — remembering the wisdom already living inside us.
This is a space to dream, to listen, and to be nourished — individually and together.
To be together is at the centre of this offering.
An evening of tenderness, breath, sacred plant allies and feminine devotion.
We gather to rest, soften and open to the wisdom already living inside us — guided by the spirits of Cacao, Rose & Blue Lotus.

To Be together is at the centre of this offering.
Love and tenderness will be at the heart of our prayer. To invite us into the moment, to be present with the breath, dissolving into angelic bliss, resting into the divine energy of our body, heart and spirit. This time can help to remind us it’s okay to let go; to loosen our attachments and instead rest into what we all ready have inside of us; to experience the rich inner tapestry of embodied presence.
This ceremony aims to give space, to reflect, rest, open and invokes your dreams while initiating you within the field of the plants Cacao, Rose and Blue Lotus to honour and meet with their ancient guidance, wisdom and inspiration. We become embedded within the framework of the divine order of beauty and grace. We flow within states of PEACE, BLISS and LOVE.
To become and to be. Witness the internal exchange of breath. Enliven the form of the body. Create structural beauty and presence through Yoga, Pranayama (breath) and Sound.
Unravel the layers Vyabhicarabhava (Transient/superficial), Sthayibhava (Aibiding/Standing deeper), Rasa (The pure Essence of an Emotion), Ekarasa (The single, deepest rasa within all other rasas, identified as Bhakti rasar, the essence of Divine Love).
“THE GOAL IS REVEALED IN THE PATH
Love is of the divine heart’s own eternal and unconditioned nature. Being eternal, this love is uncreated. Accordingly, the Love that supports each of us at the core of our being is not produced as the effect of any cause. Therefore, the Love we experience is not finally the result of our actions in the world, not the product of our disciplined knowledge, not the consequence of our austerities, not the effect of our emotions. Its presence and expression within us is not the fruit of anything but itself.
Think about it for a moment. If Love were the result of some cause, then it would disappear if that cause were to disappear. It would be contingent on that cause. But love is not contingent on anything whatsoever. Love is an aspect of God’s nature, and God is not conditioned by anything. Dwelling within us as the source of being, God inwardly shares Love with the human Spirit. Thus the Love that stands in the true Heart, which is our own highest nature, is not dependant on anything. It is completely free. It is spontaneous. The Essence of such Love is the essence of Gods own Love. It is not created: It is revealed.”
‘William K. Mahony

Reflections on he spiritual life based on Narasa’s Bhakti Sutra"‘
We will share the beauty of the season while embodying the spirit of renewal and hope within the community.

Hannah Bedford
Hannah has always loved music and grew up exploring sound from a young age. After living in Berlin, Hannah had developed a regular Jivamukti yoga practise, which incorporated Sanskrit chanting. These chants always promoted emotional release and joy to Hannah. Back in London Hannah started to explore sound within a spiritual framework, meeting her first teacher, Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowl practitioner Carly Grace. Through
the completion of the Introductory and Advanced Sound Medicine trainings with Carly Grace and Yantara Jiro, Hannah was drawn towards a powerful set of rose quartz Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls. These bowls took Hannah to play at yoga retreats and led her to plant medicine and the sound healing qualities of the songs sung by the Huni Kuin tribe. Hannah discovered the channelling of energy through playing musical instruments and the voice. Quickly Hannah met her next teachers Cherub & Tim Wheater, with whom she trained to also play the gong, shamanic drum, tuning forks, and opening up the power of our voice with vocal toning.Hannah believes that sound frequency has transformational power, that we can all harness, working down to the cellular level in the body. During the sound bath Hannah invites us to let go and surrender into the soothing heart centred vibrations created by her Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls.

Altars by Emma
Altars By Emma are immersive ceremonial spaces imbued with intention and numinous resonance. Each altar is a unique creation, a fusion of sacred symmetry and organic flow. Created with natural elements, crystals, and symbolic materials, they offer a place of reflection, presence, and connection.
Emerging from a deeply intuitive process, Emma’s altars become energetic focal points, portals for stillness, remembrance, and connection to spirit. With a deep reverence for ritual and the power of place, her work honours the wonders of the natural world, the ceremony itself, and the people who gather around it. Her altars bring beauty, sacredness, and transformation to the spaces they inhabit.
