This mid-summer workshop invites you into a space of softening and reconnection.
We’ll begin with a gentle cacao ceremony to support heart-opening and presence. From there, we’ll move into a guided breathwork journey — a somatic practice that helps clear emotional and energetic weight, while reconnecting us to what truly matters.
As we move through the height of the season, this is an opportunity to slow down, listen inward, and reorient to the heart.
No previous experience with breathwork or cacao is needed. Please bring a journal, water bottle, and anything you need to feel comfortable lying down (yoga mat, blanket, eye mask, etc).
Breathwork is an active meditation technique that facilitates emotional release in supportive environment. Through full rhythmic breathing, the conscious mind softens, allowing us to tune into our body wisdom to heal current stress, past wounds, and traumas.
