It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or off-course in this world. This retreat gives you fresh tools to help you reduce stress, stay grounded in challenging times, and live in alignment with your deepest values.

Light Lunch Included:

Cacao Ceremony:
This Full Moon, known as the "Pink Moon" symbolizes the opportunity to cleanse, release the past, and plant the seeds for a bright future.

Janet will be your guide through a cacao ceremony, allowing you to connect deeply with the energies of the universe and the uplifting, heart-opening properties of ceremonial cacao. Cacao has long been revered for its ability to open the heart, enhance intuition, and align our energies with nature’s rhythms.

Sound Healing:
Following the cacao ceremony, we will raise our vibrations with the healing sounds of Tibetan singing bowls, allowing their resonant tones to clear blockages, facilitate emotional release, and deepen our connection to the present moment. This is a time to honor and connect with your inner wisdom and intuition.

This retreat is designed to hold space for self-reflection, emotional expression, and deep celebration of your journey.

Come join us as we harness the energies of the Full Moon, cacao, and sound to nurture and expand your mind, body, and spirit. This sacred space will leave you feeling grounded, connected, and empowered to step into the future with clarity and intention.

This is a private, intimate gathering. Spaces are limited to ensure a personal and transformative experience.

Frequently asked questions

Are there health concerns with cacao

Ceremonial cacao contains caffeine and Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors. Cacao is a vasodilator and increases blood flow in the body. If you have heart issues, low or high blood pressure or are taking anti-depressants or anti-psychotic medicines, speak to your physician before taking cacao.

Should I avoid caffeine before the ceremony?

Yes, since there is caffeine in Cacao we recommend avoiding caffeine for at least 2 hours before drinking Cacao. Avoiding alcohol and stimulants is also recommended.

What else?

Cacao is a natural diuretic, so stay hydrated before and after drinking cacao.

Should I bring a yoga mat or cushion?

We want you to be comfortable. Many people like to lie down during the sound healing so you may want to bring a yoga mat or blanket. There are some mats available to borrow. We also have chairs available.
