Awaken the Inner Flame: A Winter Gathering with Cacao, Sound & Stillness

As the winter season wraps the world in stillness, we invite you to step into a heartwarming sanctuary of rest, reflection, and gentle awakening. Join us for a nourishing four-hour experience designed to kindle your inner warmth and reconnect you to your senses, spirit, and seasonal rhythms.

We’ll begin our morning with heart-opening breathwork, gentle yoga-inspired movement, and ceremonial cacao infused with optional winter spices—like cinnamon, ginger, and chili—to awaken heat in the body and energize the heart space. Each guest will have the opportunity to select their preferred spice blend, creating a personalized cacao ritual to begin the journey inward.

With hearts open, we’ll soften into a guided meditation through the five senses, gently anchoring into the present moment and allowing the body to rest while the mind becomes still.

Afterward, we’ll take a mindful pause to learn about the origins and traditions of cacao - from the sacred practices of the Maya, to the diverse flavors of different cacao beans. This moment will be paired with a sensory tasting experience, featuring chocolate-dipped apples, cacao-covered dates with nut butter fillings, and other seasonal fruit delights, an edible celebration of the cacao spirit.

We’ll close with a Winter Solstice Shamanic Sound Journey, welcoming the return of the inner during the dark times with drumming, alchemy crystal bowls tuned to 432 Hz, frosted singing bowls at 432 Hz, the resonance of 528 Hz healing chalices, and the grounding vibrations of the gong. Each tone is intentionally selected to support deep emotional release, cellular harmony, and energetic renewal.

This event is a cozy, calming, and soulful way to spend your Saturday morning - combining movement, mindfulness, sound healing, and ancient traditions in one deeply restorative experience.
