Every year on August 8th, the star Sirius — one of the brightest in our sky, revered by the ancient Egyptians as a gateway to higher consciousness — rises in direct alignment with the Earth and the Sun. This is the 8/8 Lions Gate: a powerful cosmic opening associated with abundance, awakening, and accelerated transformation.

And we are gathering to step through it together.

What we're creating together:

We begin with sacred cacao — the medicine of the heart. Prepared with intention, ceremonial cacao gently opens the heart, quiets the mind, and prepares the body to receive. On a day like 8/8, when the field is already so alive, cacao amplifies everything. Clarity, softness, presence.

Then we surrender into sound.

Gongs, crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, tuning forks, drums, and voice will weave a sonic landscape for you to rest inside. This is not passive listening — this is deep cellular work. The kind that moves what words cannot.

You can expect:

• A heart-opening cacao ceremony to begin

• A full immersive sound bath experience

• Space to release, reset, and receive

• A trauma-informed, held environment

• Integration time to close

Spots are limited — this gathering is intimate by design.

If you feel called, this is your sign.

Lions Gate Portal Sonic Ceremony 📍 Morpho Bleu, NDG 🕖 7:00 PM – 9:30 PM | August 8

This will be a beautiful evening of sound, sacred music, cacao ceremony, and deep listening — a moment of activation, expansion, and alignment for the Lions Gate Portal (8/8). Come ready to soften, to be still, and to be held.

Contribution: This event is offered on a sliding scale, with a suggested minimum of $60. (Normally priced between $75–$100 — I want it to remain accessible to all who feel called.)

You can pay via e-transfer to sacredsound@sarahsurrenders.com, or bring cash on the evening.

If you feel inspired, please bring a candle, crystals, flowers, or any sacred object you'd like to place upon the central altar. Every offering helps create the beauty of our shared space.

Looking forward to gathering with you. ✨
