About this Event

12/12 Portal: Cacao Ceremony & Immersive Sound Bath with Isabel Varela

A grounding, heart-opening evening in a candlelit black box theatre steps from Central Park.

Join Shamanic Practitioner, Sound Healer, and Transformational Guide Isabel Varela for an intimate 12/12 portal ceremony designed to help you release the weight of the year, reset your nervous system, and step into the Solstice clear, aligned, and grounded.

This is not a typical studio sound bath.
This is an immersive, sensory experience — created for people who are overwhelmed, carrying stress, or craving stillness and connection. Inside the black box theatre, the outside world disappears. No distractions. Just warmth, sound, cacao, and your own inner guidance coming back online.


🌙 Why the 12/12 Portal Matters

The 12/12 portal is known as an energetic opening that supports emotional clearing, nervous system softening, and preparing the body for the Winter Solstice — the rebirth of light.

In numerology, 2025 carries the energy of 9:
✨ closure
✨ completion
✨ clarity
✨ stepping into the next chapter

This ceremony is intentionally crafted to help you put down what you’ve been carrying and walk toward the Solstice with focus, warmth, and inner steadiness.



What You’ll Experience

Inside the warm, dark, womb-like atmosphere of the black box theatre, you will be guided through:



🍫 Ceremonial Cacao

A heart-opening pour to ground you into your body and gently ease emotional tension.


🔮 12/12 Intention-Setting Ritual

A grounded, accessible practice to help you reconnect with clarity and reset your inner direction.


🎶 Immersive Sound Bath

Crystal bowls, drum, chimes, and earth-centered instruments carefully layered to calm your nervous system and bring you into deep rest.


🌫️ A Multi-Sensory Inner Journey

Shadows, acoustics, warmth, and stillness intentionally curated to help you quiet your mind and hear your intuition again.


🧡 Integration + Reflection

A gentle moment to anchor what you felt, received, or released — so you don’t immediately snap back into overwhelm.

This is a night to slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect to the part of you that’s been buried under stress and noise.



📍 Venue: The New Stage Performance Space

Located steps from Central Park, this black box theatre is known for intimate, multidisciplinary performances.
Its quiet, cocoon-like design makes it the perfect space for deep rest, emotional clearing, and nervous system grounding.
