Cacao & Family Constellations: A One-Day Workshop for Cycle Breakers

A one day transformational gathering in Hudson Valley: Step into a safe, heart-opening space of profound healing, discovery, and connection.

About this Event

This one-day immersive workshop invites you into deep personal and ancestral healing through the sacred combination of Ceremonial Cacao and Family Constellations.

Held at The Kiva in Stone Ridge, NY, a beautiful community space in the Hudson Valley, this gathering offers the chance to explore how your family system may be influencing your present-day experience and how to break old cycles to create more freedom and peace in your life.

What Makes This Workshop Unique

Because this is a longer one-day gathering, we’ll have time for:

• Opening with Ceremonial Cacao to ground, connect, and open the heart
• At least four full Family Constellations facilitated in community
• A hearty family meal during our break, so you feel nourished and supported
• Experiential practices and simple exercises to connect with the work in your own life
• Reflection time and group sharing to integrate what arises

Whether you are receiving your own constellation, witnessing, or participating as a representative, this is powerful soul-level work. Many participants find that even when they do not receive their own constellation, witnessing and representing brings deep personal healing and insight.

Together, we also experience the power of community healing—a reminder that none of us has to do this work alone.

Who This Is For

This workshop is for cycle breakers—those who feel the call to heal what’s been passed down, live with greater freedom, and become the turning point in their lineage.

You may feel drawn if you:

• Sense you’re carrying pain, beliefs, or emotions that don’t fully belong to you
• Are ready to break free from repeating patterns in your life
• Feel stuck in relationships, roles, or dynamics that no longer serve you
• Are navigating a transition and seeking clarity
• Long to live with more authenticity, sovereignty, and inner peace
• Are on a personal journey—whether as a seeker, cycle breaker, or simply someone curious about exploring your next layer of growth and healing
• Are curious about Family Constellations, Ceremonial Cacao, or group energy work
  

This is gentle, soul-deep work. No prior experience is needed. Come as you are, with an open heart, and experience the unique healing that emerges when we come together in community.

You Will Leave With:

• Insight into how ancestral patterns shape your life and relationships
• New perspectives and deeper compassion for your story
• A wide open heart and a felt sense of community with other cycle breakers walking this path
• More clarity and direction around how to move forward in life

Testimonials

Video testimonial from a previous participant, Samantha Jo, on her first time experiencing Family Constellations: www.instagram.com/p/DHqjIgvOn8s

“I have been wanting to do family constellations in person for a long time. Live sessions are life-changing—especially when the facilitator is intuitive, caring, and so gifted. Whether I have my own constellation or participate in someone else’s, the transformation is always there.” — Cat
“I went to this retreat not knowing anyone, just feeling the call to go, and I am so grateful I trusted my intuition. Masha and Tiger held an open and healing space. Coupled with the power of cacao and family constellations work, there was this permission to be vulnerable, to play and to feel seen. I left feeling lighter, supported, and more connected to my long-term healing journey.” — Beth Ann
“Attending a Family Constellation workshop was a truly eye-opening experience for me. It shifted my perspective from feeling like things happened to me to understanding that they simply happened—without personal attachment or blame. This workshop provides a unique opportunity to observe family and relational systems from a more objective, bird’s-eye view rather than being confined to your own personal narrative. Through this process, I was able to break free from a cycle I never consciously chose, gaining clarity and empowerment along the way. I highly recommend this experience to anyone ready to challenge their ingrained beliefs about family, relationships, work, and community. It’s an incredible practice that works with energy in a way unlike anything else—truly transformative and powerful.” — Ruu

What is Family Constellations

Family Constellations is a group process that makes the unseen visible. Developed by Bert Hellinger, it begins when one person brings an intention or issue, and others are invited to represent family members, ancestors, or parts of the system. As participants step into these roles, hidden dynamics often come to light. With gentle facilitation, the constellation can move toward resolution or reveal powerful insights that open new pathways for understanding, connection, and belonging.

People attend Family Constellations workshops to:

• Identify unconscious patterns
• Resolve family issues
• Heal ancestral wounds
• Understand family dynamics
• Grow personally
• Support career or life transitions
• Find closure or resolution
• Seek emotional and spiritual healing

🍫 What is Ceremonial Cacao?

Ceremonial Cacao is a gentle plant medicine known for its heart-opening properties. Traditionally prepared and shared in circle, cacao supports emotional release, inner processing, and deeper connection—with yourself, with others, and with spirit. It is also a nutrient-rich superfood that nourishes the body while opening the heart.

When used intentionally, cacao can:

• Deepen self-reflection, creativity, and spiritual growth through a more embodied experience
• Support emotional healing and release
• Enhance focus and inner clarity
• Foster connection and community

We’ll be sharing Keith’s Cacao, a powerful cacao grown and prepared with care for deep healing work.
