Earth to Ether: A Sacred Breathwork Journey with the Blue Full Moon
Immerse. Breathe. Remember.
Join us under the potent illumination of the Full Moon for an immersive shamanic experience. Step away from the noise of modern life and return to the roots of your being. Earth to Ether is an intimate, nature-immersed gathering designed to reconnect you with the pulse of the Earth, the wisdom of the elements and the legacy of your ancestors.
A chance to come home to self and your divine essence, rekindle your inner wisdom and connection, release tension, stress and trauma while expanding your heart and consciousness.
Set upon Heartwood Farm's private ridgeline in the Byron Bay Hinterland, this sacred outdoor experience takes place around the stone labyrinth, held within the medicine wheel beneath vast open skies.
In the presence of Heartwood Farm’s ancient Grandmother Tree, with the energy of the nearby Wilsons River flowing through the land, Earth to Ether is a deeply immersive shamanic experience designed to reconnect you with the wisdom of nature, spirit and self.
WHAT AWAITS YOU
• Shamanic Cacao Ceremony: Begin by opening your heart with a potent, hand-crafted ceremonial-grade brew. Guided by shamanic traditions, this sacred medicine invites deep emotional softening and heightened spiritual awareness. As a gentle heart-opener, Cacao increases blood flow and releases "feel-good" neurochemicals, helping you land in your body and set intentions with clarity and compassion.
• Nature-Immersed Breathwork: Experience a profound journey of conscious breathing, designed to release trapped energy and connect you directly to the natural world. We will move from grounding earth energies to the expansive, airy realms of spirit. Rebirthing Breathwork uses a conscious, connected breathing pattern, this practice helps release stored emotional energy and stagnant trauma from the body. It allows you to quiet the "thinking mind" and enter a state of deep introspection and self-healing.
• Honouring the Elements & Ancestors: Through guided ritual, we will pay homage to the elements, ancestral lineages, and sacred spirit totems that walk with us.
Shamanic Drum & Rattle: Experience the "heartbeat of the Earth" through the resonant vibrations of the shamanic drum, which can shift brainwaves into a meditative Theta state. The sacred rattle is used to clear energetic blockages and call in the spirits of the land.
Connection to Country: We will ground our work by connecting deeply with the Wilsons River and meditating in the protective presence of the Heartwood Farm's Grandmother Tree.
Fire Integration & Stargazing: As evening falls, we will integrate the journey around a sacred fire, sharing space under the stars to seal in our intentions and insights bathed in the light of the full moon.
This Full Moon is a Blue Moon in Sagittarius:
Believe in the impossible! Forgive the unforgivable.
Under this potent glow, our intentions are amplified, It is a sacred window for letting go, where the moon’s pull helps us draw out and release what no longer serves us—old patterns, stagnant energy, or heavy burdens. Through prayer and presence, we harness this peak frequency to surrender our desires to the divine, trusting that as the moon begins to wane, it carries away the old to make space for the new.
MORE ABOUT CACAO
Cacao is known as 'Food for the Gods'. It comes from the seeds of the fruit from the Theobromine Cacao tree. Ceremonial grade cacao is in its raw state and holds many benefits. It is basically pure unprocessed chocolate. Cacao is densely rich in nutrients and has been scientifically proven to be a heart opening mood booster. There is a rich history of spiritual & medicinal use. When enjoyed while calling on the Goddess Ix Cacao you can feel her powerful presence and essence... she represents unconditional love, compassion & abundance!
Cacao is mixed with water and vegan spices gently made with prayers and intensions. When taken prior to breathwork the results can be profound! Cacao works in perfect harmony with the breath and connecting to the heart and inner wisdom.
Cacao boosts our immune systems and protects our brain, bones, heart and gut! There are over 300 nutrients and compound in raw cacao. Cacao contains Theobromine, improving cognitive function while relaxing muscles, it is a cough suppressant (great for asthma) Cacao acts as an antitumoral, anti-inflammatory & cardiovascular protectant molecule. It is a cardiac stimulant & vasodilator, increasing blood flow & reducing blood pressure. Cacao contains powerful bioactive neurotransmitters that uplift, focus & relax the mind producing serotonin, dopamine, anandamine, triptophan & phenylethylamine (PEA).

www.heartwoodfarmbyronbay.com
Heartwood Farm is our home.
In 2018, we felt a quiet pull to this land - something we couldn’t quite explain, but deeply trusted.
What we discovered here was more than just a beautiful property.
There is a presence here.
A stillness.
A feeling that invites you to soften, slow down and reconnect.
Over the years, we have lovingly restored and reimagined the farm - preserving its history
while creating a space that feels both grounded and elevated.
Today, it is our privilege to share this place with others.
Whether you arrive for rest, clarity, connection or transformation,
our intention is simple - that you leave feeling more like yourself than when you arrived.
Nicole & Craig
