About this Event

A guided, in-person experience designed to help you clear what’s no longer serving you so you can enter more into alignment in your life.

Our bodies and nervous system carry old energies, belief systems, and outdated patterns that continue to manifest the same experiences in our lives...

By practicing body- based healing practices and connecting with gentle plant medicines (such as cacao) we open ourselves up to new experiences, opportunities, and energies.

This experience is designed to clear the old, and create space for what's next.

During this session, we will also be honoring, and working with the energy of the Spring Equinox - allowing us to release the old & welcome in a new energy.


THE EXPERIENCE:
01 Ceremonial Cacao (Ground + Open)

We’ll begin by preparing ceremonial cacao together, and setting our intentions. Honoring the plant spirit of cacao through prayer, gratitude, and music.

Physiologically, cacao contains compounds like theobromine that gently stimulate circulation and can create a sense of openness and presence.

Spiritually, it is beleived that Mama Cacao holds a spirit. When we drink cacao with intention, we are able to connect to the spirit of cacao, and are able to receive messages, wisdom, and open up to divine love.

This portion of the evening is about slowing down, tuning in, and becoming present enough to hear your own inner voice again.

If you’ve felt disconnected from your intuition, this is where we begin recalibrating.



02 Somatic Movement (Shift the State)

Before we begin to “release,” we need to get out of the head.

Through a guided somatic movement and intuitive dance, you’ll reconnect with your body.

Stress, suppression, and emotional holding patterns live in the body.

Movement helps interrupt those patterns and brings you into the present moment. Movement also allows us to connect to our inner wisdom, and our intuition is deeply connected to the body.



03 Transformational Breathwork (Release + Rewire)

This is the core of the experience.

Breathwork activates the nervous system in a controlled way, allowing stored emotion, limiting beliefs, and outdated patterns to rise to the surface to then be released.

During Transformational Breathwork, we use a conscious, rhythmic 3-part breath to increase oxygen and energy in the body, which disrupts our usual control patterns - the patterns that suppress emotions, hold tension, and keep us in survival mode.

This is when our bodies feel safe to finally feel everything we’ve suppressed, in order to fully release.

During this experience you will be guided through a inward journey, to emotionally release using the breath, as well as sound, movement, and voice.


Benefits of Transformational Breathwork


Release Stored Energy
Breathwork surpases the mind, and allows us direct access to the patterns & energy living in our body. Through the breath we are able to move that energy out of the body.

Clarity & Re- alignment
Breathwork can help you release the "monkey mind" which in turn helps us return to alignment, and bring clarity into our lives. Breathwork can help you connect to your higher self, inner wisdom, and universal knowledge.

Subconscious Rewiring
Breathwork can allow us to enter what's known as the Theta brainwave state. This is a powerful state for us to wire in new beliefs & stories into our subconsious minds.

Physical benefits
Detoxifies the body, strengthens immune system, increases energy, regulates hormone imbalances.
