Cacao Connection: Rebirthing Ceremony

Tune into the radio channel between waking and dreaming as we guide you into the hypnagogic state: A place within consciousness of vision, insight and download. 

Experience a rebirthing breathwork journey teamed with ceremonial cacao as we invite you into your body and an altered state of consciousness. From this place, access the wisdom already present within your system for healing, transformation and if you're ready for it, a deeper state of clarity for the next steps on your path. 

Laura and Josh have spent many years training in somatic work, breathwork and working with the nervous system. They have a calling to curate spaces for people to remember their divinity and wholeness, and experience a life lead by Love over fear. During this hour and a half, be welcomed into a nurturing space of restoration and transformation as we work with the power of this sacred Amazonian medicine, and the power of rebirthing breathwork to induce altered states and deep breakthrough, vision and place between worlds. 

The Cacao 

Over the past month, Laura travelled the Peruvian Amazon in search of the finest Cacao. She eventually found a magical farm nestled in a valley where monkeys swing from the trees transporting the beans across the region and where farmer and artist Alexia curates the cacao with intention and love for the purpose of transformation and healing. 

Structure of Cacao Connection: 

✧ Somatic meditation for dropping out of the mind into an embodied state of presence 

✧ Cacao ceremony inspired by indigenous Peruvian shamanic technique (from 10 years of working with shamanic maestros from the Amazon) 

✧ 40 minute conscious connected rebirthing breathwork ceremony to access your inner wisdom and embodied healing: rebalancing the system; restoring energy and accessing deeper states of awareness 

✧ Theta sounds for bodily repair and system restoration leaving you feeling nourished and connected 

✧ Grounding movement practice to leave you feeling energised, restored and connected to your heart. 

Your Facilitators

Laura has facilitated with Psychedelic Society since 2017. After a decade of working with shamanic plant medicine, she offers transformational spaces designed to explore the darker parts of our psyche in order to experience deeper love, expansion and liberation. 

Over a decade ago, she travelled the Americas working in NGOs focusing on ecological sustainability before discovering the ancient keys to the psyche found in the plants of the rainforest. Experiencing a deeper sense of reality inspired the creation of transformative arts company Infinite Experience, who travelled the world with their interactive theatre piece designed to transcend separateness. She now holds workshops, ceremonies, retreats and 1-1 sessions designed to connect people to their deeper essence guided by her experience and years of training in healing modalities.
