Yoga • Cacao • Ecstatic Dance

Opening the Heart to Connection, Truth & Expression

There is so much happening in the world right now that can make us want to close down, protect ourselves, disconnect, or simply feel overwhelmed.

And yet, our hearts are still here.

This gathering is an invitation to come back into connection with yourself, your body, your truth, and with one another. To make space for whatever emotions are present, whether that's joy, grief, anger, fear, tenderness, excitement, longing, or something you don't even have words for.

We'll begin with yoga and embodied movement, creating space to slow down, feel, listen, and connect with what is alive inside of you. We'll then share cacao from Nicaragua as a heart-opening ritual, allowing ourselves to soften and deepen into connection.

And from there, we'll dance.

Ecstatic dance gives us a chance to let the body speak. To move emotions, energy, sensations and whatever else wants to move, without needing to figure it all out first. You can be wild, gentle, joyful, messy, playful, still, expressive, or anything in between.

The New Moon happens the day before we gather, marking the beginning of a new lunar cycle and offering a beautiful moment to release what no longer needs to come with us and open toward what is beginning.

So perhaps this is a little threshold.

A chance to ask yourself:

What am I ready to open to?
What truth wants more space in my life?
What do I want to carry with me into this next chapter?

In a world that can give us so many reasons to close our hearts, let's come together and remember what it feels like to stay open.

Open to ourselves.
Open to our truth.
Open to feeling.
Open to connection.
Open to life.

Come move, feel, connect, express, and let whatever wants to emerge have a little more room to breathe. ❤️

About Phoenix:

I'm Phoenix, a love & empowerment coach, yoga teacher, retreat leader, and singer-songwriter who loves creating spaces where people can come home to themselves through movement, connection, play, music, and embodied expression.

I've been practicing yoga for 16+ years and teaching for many years, with training in Hatha, Vinyasa, Kaula Tantra Yoga, somatic coaching, shamanic practices, and ecstatic dance.

I'm passionate about creating spaces where we can let ourselves feel more fully, listen to our bodies, connect with our truth, and remember that there is so much more available to us when we allow ourselves to be authentically ourselves.

For this gathering, I'll also be sharing cacao from Nicaragua, a place that holds a very special place in my heart and where I've spent many years returning to teach and facilitate retreats.
