A guided ceremonial experience for deep healing, release, and reconnection
Together, we co-create a safe, grounded, and intentional container to journey inward — healing from the inside out.
This is a carefully guided, immersive experience designed to support deep emotional release, nervous system regulation, energetic clearing, and embodied integration.
Through ceremonial cacao, biodynamic breathwork, and shamanic sound healing, you are invited to soften, open, and return to your natural state of balance, clarity, and inner peace.

✨ The Journey
Opening Circle & Cacao Ceremony
We begin by opening the space together, setting intentions, and grounding into the body and the present moment. You’ll be guided through a ceremonial cacao ritual using Peruvian ceremonial-grade cacao, gently opening the heart and creating a sense of safety, support, and connection.
A guided meditation and heart-centred journey will support you to drop out of the mind and into the body, attuning to your inner world and preparing you for the breathwork journey.
Biodynamic Breathwork Journey
From here, we move into a guided biodynamic breathwork session. Through conscious, connected breathing, sound, movement, and somatic awareness, you are supported to move beyond the thinking mind and into the subconscious and physical body — where stress, trauma, and suppressed emotions are stored.
This process allows layers of tension, stuck energy, and emotional holding patterns to gently unravel, creating space for insight, release, and nervous system regulation. Each journey is unique, guided by your body’s innate intelligence and capacity for healing.
Shamanic Sound Healing & Integration
Following the breathwork, you’ll be guided into a deep sound healing journey. You are invited to lie back and receive as healing vibrations and frequencies move through your body and energy field.
We work with alchemy crystal singing bowls, didgeridoo, medicine drums, and sacred healing chimes to support deep integration, energetic clearing, and nervous system settling. This phase supports the body in absorbing the shifts created through breathwork and allows insights, wisdom, and healing to land gently.
Sacred Silence & Closing Circle
We conclude with a period of sacred silence, allowing space for integration, rest, and anchoring in your new energetic state. A closing share circle is offered (always optional), creating an opportunity to be witnessed, connect in community, and complete the journey together.

What is Biodynamic Breathwork?
Biodynamic breathwork is a trauma-informed, somatic practice that combines conscious connected breathing, sound, movement, meditation, and body awareness.
This approach supports the release of stress and trauma from the physical body by gently bringing suppressed emotions and stored energy into awareness — so they can be fully felt, expressed, and released. As these blocks dissolve, life force energy flows more freely, supporting long-term regulation, emotional resilience, and embodied integration.
Breathwork can support you to:
✹ Heal trauma and core emotional wounds
✹ Release stress, anxiety, and emotional tension
✹ Regulate the nervous system and increase emotional capacity
✹ Experience clarity, inner peace, and balance
✹ Release limiting beliefs and unconscious patterns
✹ Increase energy levels and vitality
✹ Reconnect with your authentic self

Shamanic Sound Healing
Sound healing works directly with the nervous system and energetic body, supporting deep states of relaxation, trance, and inner awareness.
Through sacred instruments and intentional sound, stagnant or misaligned energy can be cleared, allowing the mind to quiet and the body to rest deeply.
Sound healing can support you to:
✹ Harmonise mental, emotional, physical, and energetic bodies
✹ Release stress and anxiety
✹ Enter deep meditative and trance states
✹ Receive insights, visions, and inner guidance
✹ Cleanse your energy field
✹ Reconnect with intuition and higher awareness

Cacao Ceremony
Ceremonial cacao is a sacred heart medicine that supports emotional openness, grounding, and connection.
When paired with breathwork, cacao gently relaxes the mind, softens protective layers, and supports you to journey deeper — while feeling held and supported throughout the process.
Cacao can support you to:
✹ Calm the nervous system
✹ Heal heartache and emotional wounds
✹ Increase feelings of safety and self-compassion
✹ Open to love, connection, and inner guidance
✹ Enhance clarity, focus, and energetic flow
