Connect to the power of your breath and your medicine within.

Talofa friends and family, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our community.

Our spaces are created with intention, beautifully designed to welcome, support and hold you in connecting back to your authentic self using your breath as medicine.

This event is designed to create an opportunity for yourself, to press pause, access a deep state of relaxation and tap into a deeper level of consciousness. It is here we are able to access our bodies intuition and wisdom.

When we are in this state we are able to step out of the fight or flight survival response we often find ourselves in, allowing our body to heal itself, regulate the nervous system, enter a deep state of rest your body craves, and finally let go of what no longer serves you.

THE MĀNAVA STORY & MISSION

MĀNAVA is the Samoan word for breath. Being of Samoan descent, we incorporate not only the samoan culture, but also the warmth of other pacific cultures in the spaces we create. Our mission is to empower others by passing on tools and rituals that allow you to unlock the greatest version of yourself.

MEET YOUR FACILITATORS:

We are Daniel and Lauren, a devoted couple passionate about creating spaces of healing and connection. With a shared commitment to service and self-discovery, we have spent years cultivating various healing modalities that support growth and transformation. Having navigated our own personal challenges, we understand the importance of community, compassion, and support. It is our honour to share these tools and spaces with you.

Whether you're seeking clarity, self discovery, emotional healing, or simply a relaxing restorative experience, this event promises to leave you feeling grounded, connected and calm.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Our session will begin with a heart opening cacao ritual, with the intention to take you out of our mind and drop you into your heart.

In a safe and nurturing space, you will then be guided and supported through a series of breathwork techniques allowing you to:

- Reduce stress, anxiety and depression

- Facilitate emotional healing and introspection

- Regulate your nervous system

- Release stored emotions, belief systems and what no longer serves you

- Increased mental clarity and focus

The combination of breathwork and ceremonial cacao facilitates a whole body experience removing you from your thinking mind and connecting you deeper into your heart, intuition and body’s wisdom.

WHAT IS CACAO?
Cacao is an ancient medicinal plant, rich in minerals, known for its dense nutritional content and has been shown to aid the production of serotonin (the “feel good” hormone).

Cacao grows on the Theobroma tree, translated in greek to "food of the gods".

We use this medicine to take us out of our minds and connect us deeper to our heart.
