Cacao and Authentic Relating
January 19, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Join us for an afternoon designed to help you drop into your heartspace, tap into your sense of play, and connect more deeply with yourself and others. Using the tools of breathwork, cacao, and authentic relating (with an optional microdose), we’ll create a unique space for personal exploration and meaningful connection.
We’ll begin with a gentle pranayama practice to ground and center, preparing our minds and bodies to fully arrive in the present moment. These practices will help open the pathways to deeper self-awareness and connection.
Next, we’ll move into a ceremonial space with cacao as our plant ally, opening our hearts and tuning into our inner wisdom. We’ll explore the tools of meditation and visualization to connect with our intuition and our hearts. Working with the sacred plant medicine of cacao invites us to soften, reflect, and access a more expansive sense of love and creativity.
From this open-hearted state, we’ll flow into relational practices and authentic relating games designed to foster meaningful connection. Through guided activities, we’ll explore how to be fully present with ourselves and others, creating a shared space of trust, curiosity, and play.
Authentic Relating is the art and practice of exploring the aliveness of human connection in the present moment. Through this practice, we learn how to cultivate deeper relationships, understand our own patterns and emotions, and connect to ourselves and others with empathy, curiosity, and somatic awareness.
This journey is an invitation to come alive in your heart space, to nourish your sense of well being, and to leave feeling lighter, more open, and deeply connected to the beauty of the human experience.
**What to Bring:**
– A mug for cacao
– Comfortable clothing
– A journal and pen (optional)
We can’t wait to share this sacred and joyful space with you!
