Join Renee as she leads us in a cacao ceremony and teaches us about the benefits of cacao. For centuries, cacao has been used to heal the mental, physical, and spiritual body. It's renowned for releasing dopamine and endorphins in the body, mood boosting and pain reducing chemicals. Cacao contains anandamide, which is known as the bliss molecule.

Through opening the heart, cacao enables us to hear our true self, work through blockages and past traumas, dissolve any pent up negative energy, and help us align with who we truly are.

It’s also a wonderful time to give ourselves mental and physical space and peace. You get to switch off, and retreat inwards, helping you to learn more about yourself, and gain clarity on where you are and where you’re headed.

Calling all poets and lovers of words--- bring your poems to share and/or your listening ears. All are welcome!

In this class, we will tune into our bodies and flow, meditate, dance!
The class begins with a meditation where we tune inwards and open the space for the body to receive the movement it truly needs/wants. We then move through a yoga flow giving the opportunity to move freely in any poses that feels good for you! Then we will end with intuitive dance where eyes are closed and I hold space for everyone to move however they wish in an open, judgement free space.

Learn about the medical benefits of CBD, how you can source high-quality plants, and about other beneficial herbs for stress, pain-reduction, and overall health.

In this workshop we will explore the healing arts of sacred music and movement. We will tap into the energy of the universe and channel this energy, using musical vibrations along with ancient dance techniques. We will begin with a grounding meditation and then work through each of the seven chakras, awakening our Kundalini. This transformational journey of sacred sound and dance will leave you feeling inspired, centered, energized and in touch with the divine spirit and passion within.
Astarte Tzighan has studied and performed a variety of different dance styles from Ballet to Middle Eastern and contemporary. She is currently offering classes and workshops in Sacred Dance as a way to explore dance as a spiritual practice and honor the divine within.

Close out the weekend with Raychel and Marissa and their "Laughter Yoga" class. Laughter yoga involves a series of movement and breathing exercises to promote deliberate laughter.

It’s used as a remedy for physical, psychological, and spiritual ailments, as advocates believe that intentional (simulated) laughter can provide benefits equal to those of spontaneous laughter (e.g., laughing at a joke).
