[Auckland CBD] Heart Resonance

An afternoon of Cacao, Yin Yoga, sound, and shared nourishment.

Join Gitavali and Justin for a heartfelt gathering designed to bring you into deeper resonance with yourself, your body, and the people around you.

In a world that often pulls us into busyness and distraction, this offering is an invitation to slow down, listen, and reconnect with the quiet wisdom of the heart.

We will begin by sharing a Ceremonial Cacao, a gentle ally for opening the heart and cultivating presence. Together, we will create an intentional space to arrive, connect, and set the tone for the journey ahead.

From there, Gitavali will guide a nourishing Yin Yoga practice. Through supported postures held in stillness, the body is invited to soften, release tension, and create space for deeper awareness and inner listening.

As the body settles, Justin will guide you into an immersive Sound Journey, weaving together the vibrations of didgeridoo, handpan, Native American flutes, shamanic drum, throat singing, chimes, sounds of nature, and live looping.

Comfortably lying down, you will be invited to rest, receive, and journey inward. The soundscape is designed to support relaxation, presence, emotional release, and nervous system restoration.

We will close the afternoon by sharing tea and nourishing snacks, allowing time to gently integrate the experience and connect in community.
