Description
Welcome to our 'Sacred Equinox Renewal: An Evening of Cacao, Restorative Yoga & Soul Alignment!
Our ‘Sacred Equinox Renewal’ is a deeply nourishing evening retreat that blends the heart-opening properties of cacao, the gentle practice of restorative yoga, and powerful soul alignment rituals. This session is an invitation to pause, reflect, and rejuvenate as we transition into a new season.
The evening begins with a sacred cacao ceremony, where you’ll sip on rich, ceremonial-grade cacao, a sacred plant medicine revered for centuries for its ability to open the heart and deepen meditation. This will be followed by a soothing session of restorative yoga, where gentle poses and mindful breathing will help you release tension, cultivate inner peace, and restore balance in your body. The evening will conclude with a guided soul alignment meditation, designed to help you connect with your inner self, set intentions, and align with your true purpose.
