Soft Endings & New Beginnings – End-of-Year Mini Retreat
As the year draws to a close, we are invited to pause.
To breathe. To reflect on all that has unfolded and to gently release what no longer belongs.
Where the regular Cacao & Yoga Ceremonies invite relaxation and connection, this mini-retreat is a deeper inner journey.
The whole afternoon we sink into stillness, reflection, and intention a sacred space to let go of 2025 and open to what wishes to unfold in 2026.
It’s a ritual of transition — a soft closing of one chapter and a mindful opening of the next.
Through Ceremonial Cacao, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Breathwork, Guided journaling, reflection, and intention setting, you’ll travel from
head to heart, from doing to being.
We release what no longer serves,
and with tenderness, we welcome the new
rooted in presence, guided by the heart.
You Are Warmly Invited
Join us for a gentle yet powerful afternoon of slowing down, softening, and reconnecting.
Together, we’ll weave the heart-opening magic of ceremonial cacao with nourishing yoga, meditation, breathwork, and reflection.
In this sacred space, we pause. We turn inward.
We open our hearts — to ourselves, to each other, and to the quiet wisdom within.
Ceremonial cacao is a gentle yet potent plant medicine, traditionally used in ritual to support emotional healing, heart expansion and connection.
It invites us to soften, to listen deeply, and to remember who we truly are beneath the noise of daily life.
Through a lovingly guided yoga practice, we move with intention opening the body, creating space in the heart, and grounding through breath.
This ceremony is for everyone — no experience needed.
Just come as you are, and let your heart lead the way.
