reiki, yin, & cacao

This event will begin with a yin yoga practice combined with energy work, which can ease feelings of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. During the yin practice, we will gently stretch our tendons, ligaments, and fascia to feel into the forgotten areas of our body. The practice will end with a calm reiki offering during savasana, which will support the flow of energy and bring us into a new, grounded state, ready to receive cacao.

Reiki is a Japanese stress and relaxation technique involving hand placements to smooth the flow of energy and process what the body has hidden. This is a great practice to initiate an “energetic reset” and for those looking to connect with themselves (physically or emotionally) and/or process emotions.

The yin and reiki practice will be led by our friend Amber Jacobson, who is a level 3 Advanced Usui Reiki practitioner who incorporates intuitive guidance into her work. Amber has been a massage therapist for ~9 years and has many certifications in human touch. Please note that you do not have to receive reiki or hands on adjustments.

Following the yin and reiki practice, we will move into the cacao ceremony, where we'll let mama cacao open our hearts and fill our rejuvenated and receptive bodies with uplifting energy, bliss, and nourishment as we enjoy the sunset overlooking the mountains in Golden, CO.

We will be outside for this event. Please wear appropriate clothing (layers are best in Colorado!) and, depending on the weather, bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and water. Please also bring a yoga mat, journal, or anything else you may wish to use during/after the event to capture any thoughts, emotions, or energies that arise.

It is easiest to connect with the spirit of cacao on an empty stomach and in the absence of other substances (caffeine, alcohol, marijuana, etc). We recommend fasting for at least 2-3 hours before the event. For more information on how to prepare for a cacao ceremony and what to expect, please click here.

Please contact us ahead of time with any food allergies, if you are taking any prescription medications, including (but not limited to) antidepressant, cardiac, or blood pressure medications, and/or are pregnant or breastfeeding, so we can discuss modifying your cacao dose.

No yoga, reiki, or cacao experience is necessary. To preserve the intimacy of this event, space is limited! We recommend registering as soon as possible to reserve your spot.
