Cacao & Conversations

Cacao & Connection

Join Connie and Heather each month for a soulful evening exploring yoga beyond the mat, weaving together meditation, movement, ceremonial cacao, and open-hearted conversation.

This month's gathering is centred on the theme of Self-Discipline (Tapas) , exploring its embodiment, tradition, and how it might resonate in our own lives today.

What to expect:

• Guided meditation to ground and centre
• A mindful movement practice (exploring the idea of letting go)
• Ceremonial cacao to open the heart
• Casual group conversation (share as much or as little as feels right to you!)
• Gentle journaling to integrate the experience

Schedule:

• 6.30 - 7.30 pm – Meditation & Movement
• 7.30 - 8.30 pm – Cacao Ceremony & Conversation
• 8.30 - 9.00 pm - Closing & Journaling

Light refreshments will be provided.

What to Bring:

• Comfy clothes (PJs and slippers welcome!)
• Your favourite mug
• A journal

Please let us know:
1) Any dietary requirements
2) Any triggering topics you'd like us to steer the conversation away from.
3) Anything else you need for us to make this a safe, welcoming, and cosy space for you (figet toys, sensory considerations, etc.)
