CACAO, SOUND & GROUNDING: A RESTORATIVE EVENING EXPERIENCE

A slow, supportive evening designed to help you step out of the pace of the week and return to yourself through presence, sensation, and rest.

This 90-minute session weaves together mindful cacao, guided intention setting, and a deeply immersive sound bath, followed by a grounding practice to help you integrate and return to the body with ease.

Held in a small, carefully contained group, the space is designed so you can fully arrive, soften, and be held without needing to do anything other than receive.

THE FLOW OF THE EVENING

OPENING & INTENTION SETTING

We begin by arriving into the space together. You’ll be gently guided to settle, connect with your breath, and set a simple personal intention for the evening. This is a quiet moment of transition—moving from the outer world into a more inward, receptive state.

---

MINDFUL CACAO PRACTICE

You’ll then be invited to receive a cup of ceremonial cacao, which is taken slowly and with presence. Rather than drinking quickly, we explore it as a mindful sensory practice—paying attention to taste, texture, warmth, and the subtle shifts that arise as you sit with it.

This is a simple way of coming into relationship with the body and the present moment, allowing awareness to gently open and settle.

---

SOUND BATH JOURNEY

From this grounded place, you’ll be guided into rest through a carefully held sound bath. Instruments such as Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, chimes, drum, rainstick, and other gentle percussion create a layered soundscape that supports deep relaxation.

The vibrations offer the body an opportunity to soften, release tension, and shift into a more regulated and spacious state of being.

There is nothing to do—only to lie back and allow sound to meet you where you are.

---

GROUNDING & INTEGRATION

We close with a short grounding practice to help bring awareness back into the body and gently reorient you to the space around you. This supports integration, helping the experience settle rather than feel distant or disconnected.

You’ll leave feeling more anchored, steady, and quietly resourced.

• Have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device
