4:00 – 4:30 PM | Cacao Ceremony & Breathwork Ritual
This sacred cacao ceremony is a space to honor and commune with your spiritual support system, the elements, directions, and the heart-opening plant medicine and spirit of cacao as allies for deep connection, healing, and transformation. Dari guides ceremony rooted in teachings of curanderismo passed down to her by her ancestors, the wisdom of Maya communities in Guatemala, and the stewards of Kokoleka Collective. Through gentle breathwork, intention setting, and a guided blessing, we will invite warmth into our hearts and release what no longer serves us—shedding the layers of winter to make space for new beginnings.

4:30 – 4:50 PM | Yoga Nidra
This restorative and inspiring Yoga Nidra practice will guide you into your subconscious realms, to experience the natural transition from winter’s stillness to spring’s revitalizing energy within your own being. Like the earth thawing and coming to life, this nourishing meditation will help you shed heaviness, awaken inspiration, and reconnect with the love and beauty that is ready to expand within you.

4:50 – 5:25 PM | Somatic Flow Exploration
Through guided movement and somatic flow, we will awaken our bodies and life force, releasing stagnation to step fully into this season of transformation. This practice encourages embodied awareness, powerful self-expression, and the integration of our intentions into fluid movement. Dari combines elements of vinyasa flow yoga, ecstatic dance, embodied expression, and somatic practices (inspired by Dr. Peter Levine) to assist you in dropping out of the mind and into receiving wisdom from your heart and spirit. Ancient wisdom exists within your DNA, and is more easily accessed when we connect with the heart, find union with our spirit, & allow the body to express itself fully without judgment.

5:25 ~ 5:30 PM | Closing Reflection & Integration
We will conclude with a Savasana reflection and integration period, allowing time for stillness and re-awakening before transitioning back intothe rest of the evening, the week, and the season ahead. As we move forward from this space, we will carry the energy of renewal, light, and possibility.
