Women’s Circles in West London: Cacao, Creativity & Drum Medicine | Nov 1, Dec 6
Welcome to a creative and sacred space for women in Kensal Rise, West London.
These women’s circles and cacao ceremonies are designed to nourish the heart, awaken creativity, and honour the cycles of the moon and the seasons. Held in my cozy garden studio La Casita (W10), each gathering offers a blend of ritual, storytelling, shared drumming, and artistic expression.
No experience is needed, everything we do is gentle, intuitive, and guided with care. All women are welcome, whether it’s your first time or a returning ritual.
Have you ever wondered why I collect herbs from my garden, use rainwater, or sip cacao before painting? These rituals keep me grounded, inspired, and connected, both as a woman and as an artist. I now share them through these intimate, heart-led circles.
Whether you're joining a full moon gathering or booking a 1:1 creative session, you’ll experience a warm, inclusive environment where sisterhood, magic, and rhythm come together.
🌿 What’s Included:
Smudging & Intention Setting
We begin with a gentle smudge using copal, a grounding circle, and intention-setting to welcome each woman into the space.
Ceremonial Cacao Circle
We mindfully share cacao, known for its heart-opening qualities, alongside oracle cards, gentle music, and sacred stillness.
Sacred Drumming Journey & Circle
We start with a guided shamanic drumming journey to connect with your inner guidance or creative spirit. This flows into a sacred drumming circle, where we drum together and for one another, deepening our collective rhythm, voice, and connection. Sharing is welcome but optional.
Closing Circle & Free Time
Relax with tea, oracle books, and gentle conversation. Weather permitting, we light a fire in the garden to close our time together.

Customer Reviews
You won’t find another experience like this anywhere!
Ingrid has created something truly special, a perfect blend of creativity and spirituality. For me, these two naturally go hand in hand, but it’s rare to find a space where they flow together so seamlessly.
The ceremonies she leads feel safe, cosy, and filled with magic and sisterhood. Every time I attend, I leave feeling recharged: mentally, physically, and spiritually.
This experience is a perfect introduction to cacao ceremonies and drumming if your curious about it but also if you’re looking for a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and step away from the busyness of everyday life , Ingrid’s space is the most beautiful gift you can give yourself.
I’ve been to Ingrid’s watercolor workshops before and loved them, so I was really excited to join one of her women’s circles. It’s hosted in the same beautiful garden studio, surrounded by her art, which makes it feel so special. The cacao, creativity, and drum are amazing, this was my first time playing a drum and I loved it!
I've attended several of Ingrid's circles and let me tell you... There's nothing quite like it. The warmth of her space, the light that she brings (with the extra sparkles of lovely little Ernie), and the beautiful energy that you feel when you're in her circles leaves you floating, smiling from your soul and feeling totally blissful. She makes what's probably the BEST ceremonial cacao in the whole of London, and the circles always bring together amazing people that end up sharing a very unique experience. If you need to gift yourself a little pause, a taste of time for reflection and some good sisterhood vibes, trust me, THIS IS IT. You won't regret it... in fact, you'll want to go back. As I do, every chance I get.
