Cacao
Ceremonial Cacao is the beautiful, soft and powerful plant medicine of the heart guarded for centuries in Central and South America by ancient tribes. This medicine has been reemerging in the past 20+ years because the world is ready for her. She gently opens our hearts, stimulates our blood flow, brings happiness and bliss molecules into our being and enhances our connection with our body, Mother Earth and the Cosmos. Working with cacao can bring benefits on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. Some people experience bodily sensations, emotional release, happiness, joy, shifts in mental thought patterns and sometimes visions. Every ceremony will be different for every person. Mother Cacao is part of my daily practice and I cherish her wisdom and energy with all my heart. We will most likely drink Kim’s own hand-crafted Cambodian cacao <3. Kim lived in Cambodia for 1.5 years and deeply connected with the land, the people and their magick!

Yoga Nidra
After the cacao ceremony we gently transition to a journey inwards with a guided Yoga Nidra practice guided by Mauri. We plant a seed of intention that comes from the heart and dive into a state of deep relaxation while maintaining complete awareness. Yoga nidra is not about falling asleep, but rather reaching a state of deep rest where the body can repair itself and the mind can let go of tension and stress. Mauri guides you to a state that allows you to access the subconscious mind, where patterns, beliefs and emotions are stored, offering an opportunity for self-exploration and personal transformation. Allowing your heart’s desire to integrate deep into your being.

Sound Healing
To support and deepen your journey inwards we will take you on a vibrational journey. Sound healing is a therapeutic practice that uses the power of sound vibrations to promote relaxation, balance, and healing within the body and mind. It is based on the principle that everything in the universe, including our bodies, is made up of energy vibrating at different frequencies. When our energy becomes imbalanced or blocked, it can lead to physical, mental, or emotional discomfort. During a sound healing session, various instruments with unique sounds and frequencies are used, such as Tibetan singing bowls, tingsha, rainsticks, drums, or chimes. Mauri and Kim intuitively play these instruments, creating a soothing and harmonious environment. The vibrations produced by these instruments can penetrate deep into our cells, tissues, and energy centers, helping to restore balance and release any stagnant or blocked energy. All together to induce a state of deep relaxation, reduce stress, improve sleep quality and enhance overall well-being. The sound environment allows us to enter a deep state of rest to support the body’s natural healing abilities.
