Overview
New Moon Rituals have been a sacred part of humanity for thousands of years. It is a time when the masculine (yang) energy of the Sun aligns with the feminine (yin) energy of the Moon for a time of pause, focus, and powerful intention setting for the next 28 days of magical manifestation. The Moon and Sun are perfectly aligned at this time, making it so that we cannot see the Moon. The night sky is our blank canvass. The opportunity to create is abundant. The gravitational force of Earth's two most sacred celestial bodies work together to pull our desires toward us, as we work with the energy of the Universe. Come with us on this breathwork and sacred plant journey to experience a unique experience just outside Whitby. Working with the new moon energy, Cacao (the great heart opener) and the power of our natural breath- we will go on a meditative journey you will not forget. We use a secret alternate locations deep in nature. We will take a short moderate walk to the site. We will be served cacao. We will be guided on a breathwork journey and work ourselves up into a higher state of consciousness. Setting intentions is a powerful way to release your desires to the universe. The cycle of the moon is a powerful tool for intentional living. When the moon is new it is the perfect time to plant seeds for the future. This is the time to plan your actions for the coming period. This is also a time to journey into the darkness and explore what may need to be processed. You will leave this experience feeling like you are ready for the next part of your path. You will feel energized and grounded. You will have a deeper understanding of yourself, cacao, meditation, and breathwork and how it can help you in your life. On signing up we will send you location and full details.

Trip Tips
Wrap up warm!
You will be quite still during breathwork, so cold can set in. So bring coats and blankets! MOre than you think you will need! It is much easier to remove layers because you are too warm than find layers if you are too cold.
Eat light beforehand
It is good to keep food intake to a minimum before having your cacao and breath session. If you fast you will go deeper.
Bring a torch or head torch
We will walk together. Sometimes it is dark by the time we finish and especially in the winter. So please bring a torch or similar .
Backpack
Bring a backpack to put all your gear in so that your hands are free!
Yoga matt, blanket or cushion
We are immersed in nature on the sand, the moors, in the woods...it is naturally comfortable but it can get twiggy or stoney!! So bring a mat/blanket/cushion to sit or lie on.
FAQs
Is your cacao “fair trade”?
We actually go a step beyond fair trade, and develop direct trade relationships with family farms and collectives in Peru.
What makes cacao “ceremonial”?
We consider it “ceremonial grade” if it comes from a family farm, it’s roasted over an actual wood fire, and it’s grown and produced with the intention for it to be a soul medicine to the world.
What is breathwork?
Breathwork refers to any type of breathing exercises or techniques. People often perform them to improve mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. During breathwork you intentionally change your breathing pattern.
There are many forms of breathwork therapy that involve breathing in a conscious and systematic way. Many people find breathwork promotes deep relaxation or leaves them feeling energized. Breathwork can also induce visions, help you tap into innate wisdom and unravel issues.
