Held by Earth, guided into presence.

Join us in the garden for a grounding ceremonial experience designed to reconnect you with nature and the quiet intelligence within your body.

Together, we will gather on the Earth and allow nature to hold and support us in relaxing the nervous system and returning to balance. We will open the space with copal cleansing, followed by a heart-opening cacao drinking ritual. Cacao is a natural plant medicine known for its rich profile of beneficial compounds that support focus, energy, and heart-centered awareness.

From there, you’ll be guided into a yoga nidra meditation under the open sky, before settling into a soothing sound healing journey to support integration. We will close with time for quiet reflection and optional sharing.

Please bring a yoga mat and anything else you need to lie comfortably on the ground (such as a pillow, blanket, or light layers).

Contraindications:

Cacao is gentle, but it is not recommended for those who are pregnant, nursing, or taking antidepressants or MAOI-related medications. If this applies to you, you are still welcome to join the ceremony in full presence, though cacao will not be served. Please consult your healthcare provider if you have any health concerns before attending.
