Join us for a ceremonial experience designed to help you realize the infinite nature of who you are and your own ability to thrive and heal.
***A Sacred Convergence of Heart, Breath, and Sound***
This immersive 2-hour ceremony weaves together three profound catalysts for inner transformation:
Sacred Cacao - Revered for thousands of years by South American cultures as a heart-opening medicine, ceremonial cacao creates a gentle but powerful opening of the heart chakra, dissolving barriers to self-love and connection. This plant teacher helps us access deeper truths already within us, creating the perfect foundation and opening for our journey.
Transcendental Breathwork - The breath is our most accessible gateway to higher consciousness and true inner healing. Through our specific "Merkaba Breath" techniques you'll activate your energy body and release powerful neurochemicals: such as norepinephrine, dopamine, oxytocin, anandamide, endorphins and endogenous DMT. You'll also significantly boost your immune system and reduce pain (inflammation) throughout your body, all while accessing profound meditative states where transformation naturally occurs.
Sound Journey Meditation - Sound is a natural healer because there is no separation in sound. When we connect with sound we align with the unified field. This dissolves the illusion of separation and brings us into wholeness and where true healing becomes possible. Our carefully crafted sound journey serves as the vehicle to integrate your experiences into lasting transformation.
What Participants Experience
Through a lifetime of education and dedication to personal growth and transformation, we understand the mechanisms to ensuring a safe and sacred ceremonial container:
- Profound states of expanded consciousness without substances
- The alchemy of emotional blockages and stored trauma into growth
- Access to intuitive wisdom and creative inspiration
- Deep meditative states often unattainable through conventional practices
- Reconnection with your authentic self and life purpose
- Physiological renewal through nervous system balancing and regulation
- Heart opening and enhanced connection to yourself and others
The Sacred Science Behind the Experience:
We merge ancient wisdom with modern science to provide a comprehensive experience that is profoundly educational and experiential. The breathwork techniques trigger a cascade of physiological responses, including alkalizing the blood, shifting brainwave patterns, and releasing powerful neurochemicals that facilitate healing and transcendence. The cacao amplifies heart-centered awareness, while the sound journey helps integrate these experiences at a cellular level. We lead you into a mindset that is free of the ego and provides the best opportunity for peak-state experience.
Your Journey, Your Medicine...
We are not your shaman or your guru. You are the shaman and guru of your own life. We simply create and hold space for your innately empowering intelligence to emerge. This ceremony offers tools and techniques that have supported profound transformation for thousands of participants, but the true medicine comes from within you.
This experience is ideal for both newcomers and experienced practitioners seeking deeper connection with their inner healer. Together, we'll create a container of sacred community where individual journeys are honored within collective support.
Please note: Intense breathwork is not reommended for those who are pregnant or experience epilepsy, heart problems or severe medical conditions. Ceremonial cacao is a heart-opening stimulant used for thousands of years for awakening and self-healing. Those with heart conditions, taking antidepressants (especially SSRIs/MAOIs), or who are pregnant should consult their healthcare provider before participating.

More about Cacao:
Cacao is known throughout South America as the "Elixir of the Gods." It is a powerful medical plant for opening the Heart Chakra and expanding our awareness/consciousness. It can aid in personal transformation, awakening, removing negative patterns, or to simply feel a deeper connection with higher self and source consciousness.
Cacao in its raw and natural state contains over 300 compounds, including the chemicals anandamide, phenylethylamine and theobromine which are known for euphoric-blissful states. The cacao we will use in this ceremony is pure, ceremonial grade.
