An Intuitive Movement, Cacao, Ritual, & Sound Gathering

Movement is more than something we do, it is a way to express, release, reconnect, and remember who we are.

Sacred Embodiment is a ceremonial gathering that invites you to explore the freedom of movement, the power of sound, and connecting in community.

Rooted in the elements and our relationship with the natural world, this experience weaves together ceremonial cacao, breathwork, guided and freeform movement, and rhythm. Inspired by the wisdom of nature and animal archetypes, we'll explore different qualities of movement, creating space for curiosity, playfulness, emotional expression, and connection.

Our journey begins with cacao and gentle grounding before flowing into intuitive movement accompanied by music, drums, and other instruments. From there, we'll settle into an extended, immersive Sound Journey, allowing space for deep rest, reflection, and integration.

There is no choreography, no expectation to move a certain way, and no experience necessary. Whether you feel called to dance, sway, make sound, rest, or simply be present, you are welcome exactly as you are.
