Meditation

This is for all people, genders & experiences. Join me in reconnecting back to yourself. Move beyond your fears, doubts and negative beliefs and step into the highest and best version of you. We gather in group meditation to rebalance, ground and centre ourselves back to our heart.

Cacao Ceremony

Thousands of years ago, cacao was thought of as one of the best superfoods; the health benefits beings so strong that cacao was considered a ‘food of the gods’ by the Aztecs and Mayans. Cacao acts uniquely and individually on a personal level through feelings, the heart and intuition. It allows those who are willing to deeply access their emotional body or pain body filling it with light and compassion as you connect to your heart. Cacao is a heart centered anchor which means this experience is filled with love. Alternative tea options are available for those not wishing to have cacao.

Music and Sound

Gathering together in community to sing and play music together. Using kirtan, medicine and devotional songs of the heart to open and recentre ourselves back to love. No experience is required and singing and playing instruments are always optional. Please bring musical instruments if you have them to join in.

Sound and Breathwork Healing

Experience a shamanic drum and breathwork journey to release your body of past pain, trapped emotion, trauma and negative energy. Begin to move towards a lighter version of yourself by clearing your channel and releasing any trapped energy. Breathwork will follow a similar process of Quantum Light Breath / Shamanic breathwork.
