Cacao Ceremony & Medicine Song Circle with Rhonda Vaughan
About This Workshop
There's a reason cacao has been used in ceremony for thousands of years. Taken with intention, it softens the nervous system and opens the heart, creating space for genuine connection rather than performance.
This evening brings that tradition together with voice. We'll begin with gentle breath awareness to settle the body, then move into shared medicine songs, simple, repetitive melodies that need no training to join. The evening closes with a guided meditation, letting everything settle before we share light nourishing snacks together.

Together, Rhonda and Cyrus co-create spaces where ceremony, song and community invite people to slow down, reconnect and remember the medicine of gathering in circle.

The Yin Lines Masterclass with Raewyn Fernandez
About This Workshop
As we emerge from winter and begin to unfurl into the warmer seasons, we are invited to move from stillness into expansion. This transition doesn't need to be rushed.
The Yin Lines is a two-hour masterclass exploring the interconnected pathways of fascia, meridians and energy throughout the body. Through a carefully sequenced, full-body Yin practice, we'll work with the lines of tension and communication that connect one area of the body to another, building greater awareness of how the body moves, holds and releases.
Meet Your Facilitator

Drawing on Yin Yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and yogic philosophy, Raewyn brings a rare depth to this practice. She'll guide you through the relationship between our physical tissues and the movement of Qi and Prāṇa, offering both a grounded physical practice and a deeper understanding of how energy moves through the body.
