CACAO CEREMONY + SOUND HEALING

Organized by HATISUARA

An indigenous Mayan myth tells us that whenever the balance between humans and nature is threatened, the Spirit of Cacao comes from the forest to open people’s hearts and restore harmony to the planet.

During our Cacao Ceremony, we gather to celebrate the Spirit of Cacao with a Sound Healing experience dedicated to the power of heart-opening.
We include a special ingredient that we have learned to appreciate and use during our Cacao Ceremonies in Bali over the past six years: Theobroma Cacao, the cacao plant, the mother of chocolate.

The “Spirit of Cacao,” often referred to as Rainbow Medicine or Soul Medicine, is an ancient keeper of Earth’s wisdom. With its gentle and loving vibrations, it encourages emotional release and opens our hearts to unconditional love. When experienced in a ceremonial context, cacao can serve as a powerful guide for personal transformation and self-care.

We will drink one or more cups of 100% raw cacao, sourced from organic cultivation and enriched with a special spice recipe. The cacao beans are hand-picked and processed in the Kintamani region of Bali.

The experience will be enriched by the sound of harmonic instruments, taking us on a profound sonic journey—a kaleidoscope of sounds, colors, and sensations from near and far worlds. This three-hour deep and relaxing meditation will help us connect with our inner world.

Introduction to the day

We are thrilled to invite you to a day of immersion in wellness and authentic connection, guided by Hatisuara and Wholness.
We have created a special retreat program combining profound and joyful practices to restore harmony and bring a sense of presence into everyday life.

• Yoga
• Sound Healing
• Cacao Ceremony
• Sound Awakening/Ecstatic Dance
• Olfactory Experience

This day will be an opportunity to come together in the power of the heart, sharing moments of deep connection and lightness to rediscover harmony, peace, and inspiration in our lives.

Sound Awakening

Our body is the gateway to incredible power. It is simple and secret, yet it unlocks a wealth of potential. It is the path that leads to “The Way,” an incredible journey to rediscover our personal power.

We will achieve this through a series of extraordinary practices, easy to learn and combined in surprising ways. These include Qi Gong, Tandava, and Bioenergetics.

We will be guided by meditation and accompanied by live music and a DJ set: it will be fantastic. Bioenergetics practices use simple physical exercises synchronized with breathing to release physical tensions, repressed emotions, and blocked energies, with amazing results! Qi Gong, an ancient Chinese philosophy and practice based on movement and meditation, brings tranquility, stability, and fluidity—an incredible experience!

In the mystical dance Tandava, our body expands and becomes gradually more sensitive to the perception of senses and emotions—a truly transformative experience.

Step by step, these simple exercises will foster the emergence of bodily intelligence, leading us naturally into a profound Ecstatic Dance.

I believe in the power and energy that arise when people come together and inspire one another.

Through these retreats, my goal is to create an experience where individuals feel free to be themselves and enhance their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Breathwork and meditation will serve as tools to relax the mind.
Movement and OLFACTORY EXPERIENCES will help release the body, allowing you to rediscover a sense of inner (re)connection and develop greater self-awareness and connection to your environment.
