Testimonials
“Thank you so much for sharing such an awesome, safe, transformative and loving heart space with a very beautiful community. The Spirit of Cacao brought many miracles and magic!

"Cacao Ceremony has literally changed my life. Discovered this mid-summer, and have been on a very incredible self-discovery ever since. It is such a different stimulation, and helps to open the heart, and relax the ribcage, so it is not constantly in protection mode. What amazing, knowledgeable and safe people are Masha and Tiger, being in their presence, with cacao is a hug in itself. Thank you." - Ruu
“First of all, thank you so so much for such a profound experience. I’ve never done cacao with such an intimate group with a guide, like you. I’ve done ayahuasca and mushrooms, I’ve done all that work so many times, and in such a short amount of time I was so open. The cacao opened me up so quickly in ways that I’ve never experienced. As the cacao was being brought around, I already started to feel the energy of the cacao. As I was holding it in my hand, it was vibrating. My whole body and heart was vibrating, and I didn’t drink it yet. I only took a few sips, I drank about half a cup, and I was so open. Being able to move and experience the cacao through movement in that way was amazing and being able to open up and cry like that in front of this group, in ways I haven’t gotten to in so long. It was exactly what I needed with everything im going through in my life. Thank you thank you, there’s not enough words to say it all. It was amazing and amazing is an understatement it was so profound thank you.” — Miriam
What is Family Constellations
Family Constellations is a transformative holistic healing modality that explores and uncovers hidden family dynamics that may have come through ancestors. It acknowledges the deep connection between individuals and their family systems, addressing unresolved issues passed down through generations. Participants gain insights, healing, and reconciliation by exploring family dynamics through phenomenological role-play and symbolic representation. This holistic approach empowers individuals to embrace their past, find clarity, and cultivate greater harmony within themselves and their families, leading to a more fulfilling life journey.
In a Family Constellations workshop, participants typically gather in a group setting with a facilitator. The process involves exploring the dynamics and hidden influences within family systems around an intention or ongoing challenge that one faces. Individuals represent family members or elements of the system, creating a living "constellation" on the floor. Through this representation, often accompanied by guided inquiry and dialogue, patterns, entanglements, and unresolved issues within the family system may become visible. The aim is to uncover underlying dynamics, find resolution, and restore balance to the system, fostering healing and understanding.
When you participate as a representative in constellations, your presence offers the valuable opportunity to observe and gain insights from the process for your own life. This work is deep and beautiful. In group Family Constellations, we get to witness the humanity in all of us.
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

Jessica Allen is the founder of Moonlight Sanctuary in Red Hook, NY, and will be facilitating a delicious sound journey on Saturday night. “I have a lifetime of experience in movement and spiritual practice. I originally entered into the practices of yoga and healing to deepen my relationship with the mysteries of the unseen, to heal a severance in my heartmind and to find a doubtless trust in the unfolding course that is my life. Practices open an understanding of how to listen, live and simply be. Over the course of my life I’ve collected a powerful tool belt of pathways to the divine through somatics, meditation, sound, song, ceremony and beyond. I believe the journey to Self is the journey to truth. I am here to serve that truth. My work is about sharing practices that allow you to listen, vision, restore and support your endlessly unfolding path. It is an honor to serve.”
