In the Maya tradition, the nawale energy of Iq is the breath of life, the sacred wind that moves between worlds, carrying spirit and song. It is the breath that sustains us, the invisible thread that ties us to the heartbeat of the universe. The combination of cacao and breathwork create a ceremony of transformation, an ancient healing reborn.
Conscious Connected Breathwork
Conscious Connected Breathwork is a style of breathwork that uses the circular breath (an active inhale and passive exhale through the mouth with no pause in between) to activate an altered state.
Our experiences store themselves in our physical bodies: muscles, organs, cells and fascia. As the body and mind surrender to the physical changes brought on by the circular breath, space is opened in the body to access the stored mental , physical and emotional blockages most ready for processing.
Music is carefully curated to carry you through the phases of the journey and Jo gently guides you through the process, ensuring you are safe and supported throughout the experience.
Cacao and breath: a sacred partnership
Cacao and conscious connected breathwork complement each other beautifully, both physiologically and energetically. When we drink cacao, its theobromine gently stimulates blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. At the same time, its magnesium content helps relax the muscles, making it easier for the body to release tension and for the heart to open.
In circular breathwork, where the inhale and exhale flow seamlessly without pause, the body begins to oxygenate at a cellular level. This continuous breathing activates the diaphragm, increasing lung capacity and enhancing oxygen delivery to the tissues. This process not only supports detoxification but also stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, calming the body and creating a sense of spaciousness within. When paired with cacao, which activates the heart and circulatory system, the breath can move deeper, creating a powerful synergy that clears blockages, promotes emotional release, and fosters a profound sense of connection and vitality.

Breath of the Earth
Cacao and breathwork journey
In Breath of the Earth, we investigate our bodies as vessels of air: carriers of space and keepers of stories. Through cacao, conscious connected breathwork, music, movement and meditation, we meet the intersection of earth, body and consciousness. With respect to her origins and my teachers, the earth medicine of cacao guides the way into this this enquiry.
Breath of the Earth is about cultivating a relationship with the landscape around you and within you.
Through guided inquiry, you're lead to investigate the earth
beneath you and the landscapes of your internal ecosystem.
Guided by Jo, you're invited to experience the ancient plant teacher of Mayan ceremonial cacao combined with Conscious connected breathwork - where earth medicine meets breath intelligence in a safe space that prioritizes integrity, intention and integration.
