• A gentle yoga session to open the body, calm the mind, and breathe together.

• Magical oracle card readings for insightful and uplifting guidance.

• A sound bath experience, where you’ll be immersed in the healing vibrations of crystal singing bowls and other sacred instruments.

• Shamanic journeying to plant sacred seeds of intention for the bride-to-be.

• Optional 1:1 healing sessions to help the bride (and any guests who wish) to release stress and reset energetically.

Many groups also love to add in comforting herbal teas and delicious nourishing treats as a beautiful way to close the gathering.

What’s Included in a Full Circle Zen Do? A Journey of Connection and Celebration

Your Full Circle Zen Do is designed as a journey. Typically, this includes:

🔹 Opening & Connection: We begin by creating a sacred circle to set the tone, fostering an atmosphere of warmth and openness. This flows into a blissful sound bath ceremony, where healing frequencies wash over you, melting away stress and uplifting your spirits. For those who desire it, there's also the option for 1:1 energy healing for guests and, of course, the bride-to-be.

🔹 Insight & Movement: Delve into gentle oracle card readings for personal and/or group insights and shared wisdom. We’ll then move into a gentle group yoga or ecstatic dance session – you choose the vibe! – to connect with your bodies and elevate your energy. A shamanic journey can also be woven in, to call in blessings and plant powerful intentions for the bride’s path ahead.

🔹 Nourishment & Ritual: Enjoy optional herbal teas & nourishing snacks to ground and replenish. We close our time together with a heartfelt group blessing circle for the bride, showering her with love and good wishes.

Want to Add a Deeper Shamanic Element?

For groups wishing to explore an even deeper layer of ceremony, you can invite our resident male shamanic practitioner to hold sacred space. This offers a beautifully balanced masculine presence and can include:

• A powerful drum journey or guided soul retrieval.

• Profound shamanic or angelic healing specifically for the bride.

• Heart-opening blessings rooted in ancient wisdom.

  
  

This can be an incredibly moving and potent addition to your Zen Do, especially for spiritual brides or groups looking to create a true rite of passage.

Planning and Organising Your Zen Do Hen Party: A Simple Guide to Magic 📝

Planning the perfect Zen Do is easier than you might think! With a little intention and good communication, it can be a magical, stress-free process for everyone involved.

Here are some top tips for organising a meaningful and flowing hen party:

1. Gather Your Tribe: Create a WhatsApp chat for guests to keep all information, excitement, and ideas in one easy place.

2. Find the Flow: Use a poll (like Doodle) to agree on the date that works best for everyone.

3. Honour the Bride: Think about the bride’s bucket list – what would make her feel truly seen, celebrated, and loved? This is her moment.

4. Budget with Ease: Consider your budget early on and remember to ask us about group booking possibilities.

5. Personalise Your Journey: Work with us at Full Circle Healing to tailor the experience. From specific energy healing focuses to the style of sound bath, we can co-create something unique.

6. Gentle Itinerary: Plan a gentle schedule that includes plenty of space for spontaneous connection, quiet reflection, and rest.

7. Group Energy: Keep a flexible guest list. We find that groups of 4–12 allow for the best group energy and intimacy.

8. Set the Scene (Optional Theme): Fancy a theme? Consider a soulful goddess circle, an earthy and grounded vibe, or perhaps celestial magic.

9. Venue Vibes: If you're hiring a private venue in Brighton, secure your reservations early, especially during peak seasons.

10. Bride-Centred Always: And most importantly—honour the bride’s preferences every single step of the way.

    
    

Remember, Zen Dos are designed to flow. You don’t need a packed, rigid schedule—just a little intention, the right energy, and the willingness to open your hearts.
