Musician and storyteller, Alice Night is coming to inner Melbourne for one night to share a solo set of her original folk songs as part of her Wild Mistress Tour.
Cacao Ceremony:
We will anchor in and ground with a heart-centred cacao ceremony.
Cacao is a plant medicine that aids in heart-opening and/or unveiling of the heart’s shadows. When we combine the energy of this medicine with the practice of altered consciousness journeying alongside our presence and availability to innerstand the heart’s whispers, content in the realm of bliss, joy, love, longing, grief, resentment, sadness or a deep sense of stillness may be experienced. Any arising emotion is serving you perfectly, so the invitation is one of allowance and surrender - to feel fully without judgement for the purpose of growth, healing, expansion and unconditional self-love.
The ceremonial-grade cacao you will be invited to welcome into your being is grown upon and sustainably harvested from native trees in Manabi, Ecuador brought to us by Cacao Amor. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on heart medication or anti-depressants we recommend a half-dose.
Alice Night:
Alice Night is an Australian, English singer-songwriter who shares original folk songs rich in narrative, lyricism, honesty and soul. She is most noted for the naturally stirring tone of her voice and is equal parts mysterious and straight-up.
On stage Alice Night opens a world of spontaneity and candid audience engagement. She sings with bold vulnerability, intimacy, authenticity and emotional presence.
Her performances strike an impacting balance between gentleness and power. Night has released three albums and two EPs of original music working with composers and world-class musicians to curate her soulful and unique recordings. She has toured and recorded supported by the Australia Council for the Arts and is wildly devoted to creativity as a path for life.
Alice also assists others to deepen their creative lives in her online year long course: Mistress of Wild Arts.
Her next album Wild Ivy is in progress now.
