# Event Details - **Event Name**: Synergy Ceremonies - Breath, Sound, Cacao (CAIRNS) - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 pm - **Event Description**: This Synergy Ceremonies Breathwork and Sound healing event is a collaboration by Mitch Brownlee and Leilana Grace from Moments in Touch. Our intention for this event is to create a ceremony for deeper connection to ourselves and the community strengthening our practices throughout the journey. This event will flow through multiple modalities, first dropping into plant medicine through the ceremonial use of cacao, then diving deep into a breathwork session and grounding back in with a sound healing at the end to integrate the shifts that have taken place. Cacao ceremony Ceremony is an honouring of spirit and receiving sacred cacao to drink is facilitated through in a safe, comfortable container which guides the individual to drop into their heart connection with intention, song, meditation, blessings and prayer. Cacao is activated once it is prepared ceremonially, this process gives reverence and presence to the sacredness of all that is spirit and is a profound experience of connection and transformation. Breathwork Breathwork Breathwork is a powerful, body-based practice that supports the release of stored stress, tension, and emotional load. In this style of breathwork, we use conscious, connected breathing patterns to activate the nervous system in a controlled and supported way. This allows the body to access and release what it’s been holding — whether that’s physical tension, emotional residue, or mental overwhelm. Rather than needing to revisit or analyse past experiences, the body is given the opportunity to process naturally. This can lead to a sense of relief, clarity, and reconnection. Over time, unprocessed stress can accumulate in the body and influence how we feel, think, and respond to life. By creating space for release, we also create space for more ease, presence, and connection. This practice isn’t about forcing anything — it’s about allowing the body to do what it already knows how to do, in a safe and supported environment. Sound Therapy Sound healing has been used in ancient cultures around the world for its therapeutic and restorative effects on the body, mind and spirit. Science now validates for modern peoples to understand from the analytical mind what the ancients knew about the significance and importance of sound as a therapeutic vibrational medicine and for spiritual development. Sound healing and therapy can assist in reducing stress, Improving sleep, Stabilising the emotional body, relieving headaches, Improving focus, relieve depression and anxiety, Increase attention, relaxation, Increase motivation, Encourage the release of energetic blockages in the body and harmonise over all well-being. Throughout this event Mitch and Leilana will use different instruments and the voice to guide the journey, to assist in releasing blockages allowing the body to relax and encourage the therapeutic benefits.
