NOTE: Due to unsuitable weather conditions for star gazing, the event for January 25th has been cancelled and all orders have been refunded.

Your host for this event is: Beau-Qay Christensen.

We are going to kickstart 2025 sessions with something dear to my heart...Connection Under The Stars!

Taking some time for your self to peel off the layers that have formed around us throughout our life time and diving in to a journey that helps you back to who you truly are in your wairua (soul).

What to expect from this session:

We will gather at my house as a meeting point. (Address will be emailed to each confirmed attendee) From here we will split into car pooling groups. Please note that the driver of each vehicle will receive $10 per passenger to contribute towards fuel.

The drive out to the remote and stunning location of Sutton Salt Lake is 1 hour. So bring your banter and music for the drive out! There is no set time to end. We will return when the group is feeling ready to leave the starry sky.

When we arrive, we will gear up and make the 10 minute walk up hill to our chosen spot for setting our circle.

If the skies are light enough, we will do an energy expansion and activation Qi Gong form.

Then we will do a breathworks session with the Shamanic Drum to connect our body, mind and soul with the breath that acts as our bridge between our physical body and our spirit body (soul)

After this, I will guide you through a meditation to connect with the expansive universe and feel that oneness with the infinite universe that is within you and all around you.

We will sip on some warm heart opening Cacao while we share and ponder and explore the deep subjects that sit deep within ourself. We will share experiences that leave us feeling like many would not understand. We can draw from each other to receive guidance and understanding.

So come along in a position of openness to receive and childlike curiosity.

I will guide us through more gentle meditations for healing, for group coherence and for elevating our energy.

Between each meditation we will view the stars and point out any phenomena and allow ourselves to breathe in the awe of what it means to be at one with this universe.

You will leave feeling light in your heart, elevated in your soul and curious in your mind.

Please see below for a detailed description of Qi Gong, Cacao Ceremony and Breathworks.

QI GONG

We will start by using Qi Gong to open up and expand our energy system.

You do not need to already know how to do Qi Gong. It is so simple with fluid movements done slowly and with guidance.

Qi Gong is gentle mindful movement that brings your awareness in to your body and connect with your self physically and energetically. As a daily practice it activates your energy, expands your energy, balances your energy and more. Qi Gong also has health benefits such as balancing moods, relieving anxiety and stress, promoting calmness internally, gentle exercise on your joints and more.

IxCACAO CEREMONY

Ceremonial Grade Cacao is pharmacologically one of the worlds most complex plants. It has been naturally processed where the beans collected are only ones that have fallen naturally from the tree. Hand peeled and baked in the sun. No additives.

Ceremonial Grade Cacao has been used as a form of physical and spiritual healing for over 5000 years and passed down through generation after generation.

We will invite IxCacao in to help us open up our hearts and connect with our heart. She will lovingly show us the door but she will never push us through. The gentleness of IxCacao is beautiful and soft.

The health benefits of IxCacao are incredible!

Mood booster.

Hormone booster of seratonine, dopamine, endorphines.

Dilates blood vessels providing more oxygen - this helps to lower blood pressure.

Does not contain caffeine so it does not affect your nervous system.

...plus more benefits!

NOTE: You will have the opportunity to purchase Wairua Wellness Ceremonial Grade Cacao at this event so feel free to bring some cash along or I will also accept bank transfer. (I do not have eftpos facilities sorry) Each 250gm pack is $30. Each pack contains x10 25gm servings.

BREATHWORKS

We will then go in to 60 minutes of a Somatic style of breathworks accompanied by music and my voice to guide you. At the end we will soften and ground as you come back in from your deep internal dive with some gentle stillness - allowing you to just 'be', followed by some gentle earthing movements.

You will be supported on your journey by experienced 'space-holders'. I will explain to you various sensations you may experience and I will also guide you through each step that we will go through.

Breathworks is an excellent tool that many have received profound experiences.

* Release trauma

* Clear blockages
