Join us in this 2.5 hr unique workshop that offers safe & sustainable nervous system medicine through a heart opening cacao ceremony, guided somatic movement, and a restorative sound bath promoting relaxation & integration.
What to Expect:
Cacao Sharing Circle
We begin in circle, sharing ceremonial cacao — a gentle heart-opening plant medicine — to arrive fully, share intentions & to witness each other.
Somatic Movement
Uma Nancy will guide a movement session incorporating dance & gentle primal shaking – an ancient, activating an embodied quantum healing mechanism to release tension, repair the nervous system, and drop into the body. Animals instinctively shake to release stress after danger. We have the same ability to reset our nervous system & return to homeostasis, our natural calm state, going from survival into thrival mode by releasing stored tension. Learn to listen to your body as a source of wisdom, not just a vehicle for your mind.
Sound Bath
A soothing softening into stillness, receiving sounds & vibrations as Cher weaves crystal singing bowls with vocal tones to create a relaxing, nourishing environment to create a sense of balance & peace throughout the body.
This workshop is open to all, men & women — no experience needed. Come as you are, and leave with a renewed sense of connection to yourself, your body, and the world around you.
