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.

This was a beautiful opportunity to stay in dwellings right next to a sacred site. It was a treat to have the waterfall to ourselves, and the night time meditative pilgrimage to it was nothing less than magical! The location was superb and our guides were kind and nurturing. Thank you so much xxx

A fantastic time away from the city for me. It was at the perfect time of the year to get rain, sun and fun.

My experience of the retreat was deep and powerful, I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to connect with the beautiful ancient land and waters of St. Nectan's Glen over the Easter weekend. Assisted by music and plant ceremonies I was able to access the hidden, neglected parts of myself and was reminded of my place as a part of the natural world, taken aback by her stunning beauty. Our weekend was intuitively facilitated with love and a deep respect for the land and spirit of this magical place. This special connection to earth, air, water and fire at this poignant moment in the year was profound, challenging and ultimately deeply transformative.

It’s hard to find the words to capture the beautiful experience of being with Laura, Lila, and my fellow retreatants last weekend at the magical St Nectan’s Glen. We arrived in the rain and left in glorious sunshine which felt like a perfect metaphor for the journey we had been on together. Everything about the weekend felt so easy, gentle and full of love - it was more than just a retreat, it felt like coming home to myself. There were countless beautiful moments, but the waterfall ceremony will stay with me forever. A week later, and I’m still feeling the glow. Thank you, Laura and Lila, for creating something so special, in such a breathtaking place.

I absolutely loved the Winter Solstice retreat Laura and Josh orchestrated. It was really illuminating in so many unexpected ways. Laura and Josh are the real deal. They are authentic, compassionate and evolved. They are also wise owls but kind and gentle in the application of this wisdom. When I told my sister about the weekend, she was moved to tears, so I’ve realised the impact doesn’t lie solely within the power of the group, or even the individual self-growth. It ripples out much further.
The sprit of Glastonbury is in the people. People like Laura and Josh, who feel the call to (and actually do) help us heal and grow. I’m grateful. Thank you. 🙏

Laura and Josh are experienced facilitators who provide loving support in this journey towards the soul. The incredible variety of activities raised awareness of the whispers of my heart with unexpected insights to guide and nourish. The beauty of Cae Mabon must be experienced. This ancient land is the perfect setting for this magical event. Thank you Laura and Josh for giving so much of yourselves. Ronel

I really enjoyed the retreat with Laura and Josh. It was a very healing experience as they held such a safe, loving, welcoming, and authentic space. The programme of events had enough activities to be engaging, as well as a good balance of space to process the practices. Cae Mabon was beautiful and relaxing, being so close to nature. The other attendees were lovely. I would really recommend going on a retreat with Laura and Josh.

This retreat was an incredible experience and I feel so grateful that I could spend some time nature and deeply reconnect with it. I am especially grateful for the amazing breath work and meditation journeys we undertook with Laura and Josh in a wonderful surroundings . They were profoundly powerful experiences that brought forth beautiful visions of my loved ones, facilitated healing from my past, and helped release significant trauma. These journeys were truly transformative. I feel amazing joy and love in my heart🙏
My first-time experience with cold water immersion was challenging, but my body felt great afterward. It helped me overcome some of my fears and added to the overall sense of renewal and growth I experienced during the retreat.
I also feel grateful for all the beautiful people I met during the retreat. The connections I made and the shared experiences will be cherished in my heart forever. Thank you, Laura and Josh, for creating such a magical and healing space. 🙏 This retreat has left a lasting impression on me, and I will always hold it close to my heart ❤️
