Embody your Heart
Cacao Ceremony, Sound Journey & Embodied Movement
Join us for a transformative experience at the Life Artists Creators Hub in Berlin, Germany. This event invites you to dive deep into your heart and connect with your body through the power of cacao ceremony and embodied movement.
This workshop will address the matters of the heart; love, rejection, acceptance, assisting you in finding internal balance, the basis of all healthy love relationships.
Guided by experienced facilitators, Mari & Emmeline, we will then embark in a ceremonial ritual of cacao, allowing it to open our hearts and enhance our connection with ourselves and others. Then using our bodies as a tool for self-expression and exploration in the guided embodied movement, we will get out of our thinking minds and back into the emotional body to feel what is present and alive within us.
Through dance, breathwork, cacao, and other practices, we will tap into our inner wisdom, release stagnant energy, and create a deeper sense of presence and aliveness.
The programme:
18:00 - 19:00
Cacao Ceremony and Sound Bath held by Emmeline
We will connect with the energy of raw cacao and invite her to open our hearts to the present moment. Through drinking cacao, we connect with our emotions and feel what is present inside of us. If we allow ourselves to let our emotions be seen, felt and heard, we open ourselves to the unconditional love that’s inside all of us. Together we will hold space for ourselves & each other through intention setting and heart opening meditation.
19:15 - 20:15
