With a balance of structure and freedom, this workshop is an invitation to allow your physical, emotional, and spiritual expression to come through in whatever form it does through your breath, body, and BE-ing. Witness the co-created natural expression come through with nature’s heart opening medicine.

Cacao ceremonies are helpful for getting clarity, setting intentions, and doing healing work & inner-processing. Being in a sacred space helps you get out of your normal frame of mind, allowing you to experience new insights & perspectives. Depending on the intention of the ceremony they can also be wonderful places to connect with people in a safe, open-hearted environment. Sharing cacao brings us into the same energetic frequency. This often results in deeper more intimate connection with ourselves and each.

This Cacao is from Costa Rica from the lands of the Maleku tribe. Madleen and Paul had the privilege of meeting Don Ires a Maleku and third generation Cacao Farm owner whose grandfather was one of the few survived men of the tribe. His father also was the one who saved the farm after the war and it is survived today by Don and his wife, his children, grandchildren, and members of his association.

We close with a share, hearts more open, new friendships forged, and a closer connection to our body, mind and spirit! We highly recommend pre-registration.

About Madleen:

Madleen began practicing yoga in 2013 and immediately fell in love. Her personal practice turned into a time to check out of reality and check in with herself. In 2018 she completed her 200 Hour teacher training. She teaches a combination of yoga styles including- Hatha, Vinyasa, Kriya, and Yin. Her yoga practice has shown her that every day, every hour, every minute- we have the opportunity to be someone new hopes she can encourage her students to feel the same way. Madleen finds it symbolic that the practice of yoga is commonly completed with Savasana (corpse pose) then Parsva Garbhasana (fetal pose)- as if we are reborn after every practice. Everyday Madleen is discovering who she is, and learning to live in this world with unconditional love and acceptance. The practice of Yoga continues to inspire her to do just that. She looks forward to sharing the space, energy, and wisdom we all carry to help inspire this world to live with unconditional love and acceptance too.
