Movement - the movement component weaves in elements of yoga, Qi gong and feme flow / dance.

Each ceremony is intuitively led and facilitated, an opportunity and invitation to surrender, to sit in deep curiosity, to trust and receive guidance from your highest self. They are held in a sacred container and no two are the same.

"It's in these sessions I get to do what I love best, hold space as you explore and uncover your fullest potential, move through any stagnant emotions that maybe holding you back and open your heart space so you can feel, give and receive love more effortlessly." Annalisa

How does it work?

Sacred Cacao works on opening and activating the heart chakra, as it increases blood flow throughout the body. The ceremonial cacao used in all of our sacred ceremonies is 100% organic, ethically sourced and minimally processed to maintain its nutrients at an optimal level.

Bursting with benefits, cacao is one of the most concentrated forms of magnesium, calcium, chromium and antioxidants found in nature.

We utilise this plant medicine with reverence and respect to journey home to the heart, REconnect to our inner wisdom, heal the mind and body, develop creativity, heighten meditation and deepen our intimate relationships.

For the science lovers, here’s a little more info…..

It contains,

ANANDAMINE - anandamine in Sanskrit means BLISS - and is a bliss chemical that is found in the brain and in cacao that brings you literally into a state of bliss also known as that euphoric felling.
SEROTONIN – cacao increases the production of serotonin in the body, in turn turning up the dial on the HAPPY feeling.
TRYPTOPHAN – the precursor to serotonin. Tryptophan is great for elevation of mood, alleviates depression and anxiety.
THEOBROMINE – theobromine (directly translates to “food of the gods”) stimulates heart and mind, increases your energy, focus and concentration. HOW? it is similar to that coffee like kick, but smoother and without the crash.
