Mandala & Healing Symbols: Mapping Energy and Renewal

About the Experience
Step into a creative, meditative journey designed to help you reconnect with your inner rhythm and energetic flow.

No art experience is required — simply bring curiosity and openness to the creative process.

Why It Matters
Art has long been a language of the soul — a way to express what words cannot.
This practice invites you to slow down, breathe, and listen through colour, shape, and form.
It’s a gentle reminder that creativity isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence.
Each stroke, each mark, becomes a conversation between your inner and outer worlds — an act of remembering yourself whole.

About All Our Group Offerings
Cacao
Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is a sacred plant medicine from Central and South America, traditionally used in ceremony to open the heart, uplift the spirit, and deepen connection.
Unlike common chocolate, ceremonial cacao is a pure raw food, and retains its natural theobromine content — a gentle cardiovascular stimulant that increases blood flow and releases feel-good neurochemicals.
Cacao is not psychoactive but can create a warm, euphoric, heart-centred state when consumed intentionally.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking antidepressant medication, please let us know — we can serve you a half dose or herbal alternative.
Hapé (Rapé) — Sacred Tobacco Snuff
Hapé (pronounced ha-PAY) is a sacred shamanic snuff made from finely ground Amazonian tobacco (mapacho) and medicinal herbs.
Traditionally used by Indigenous tribes of Brazil and Peru, it’s a purification medicine that helps to clear the mind, ground the energy, and bring presence to the body.
In our ceremonies, hape is always optional and served in reverence. It can induce a short, grounding experience that may include mild physical effects (tingling, light dizziness, or clearing through the nose/throat).
Not suitable for those who are pregnant, have severe hypertension, or are highly sensitive to tobacco.
Breathwork / Bodywork / Massage
Some events may include breathwork, sound healing, or light touch (massage/bodywork) as part of the journey.
All touch is consensual, trauma-informed, and energetically respectful.
Breathwork can evoke strong physical or emotional releases — please inform facilitators beforehand if you have any physical or mental health concerns such as PTSD, cardiovascular issues, pregnancy, epilepsy, or recent surgery.
Shamanic Drum Journey
A drum journey is an ancient meditative practice used across many cultures to access altered states of awareness through rhythmic drumming.
The steady beat helps the brain shift into theta waves, a state of deep relaxation and intuitive insight.
In this state, you may receive visions, sensations, or symbolic guidance. There is no “right” way to journey — simply lie back, breathe, and let the sound carry you.
Sound Healing
Sound healing uses sacred instruments such as didgeridoo, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, chimes, and rattles to harmonize the energy body.
These frequencies invite the mind into stillness, allowing the nervous system to recalibrate and the body to release tension.
You may feel vibrations moving through your body, experience warmth, tingling, or emotional release.
There’s no need to “do” anything — simply breathe, receive, and let the sound wash through you.
Accupressure
Acupressure and acupuncture are ancient healing arts that work with the body’s energy meridians to restore flow, relieve tension, and bring balance to the internal organs and emotions.
Gentle pressure (or in some sessions, fine sterile needles) is applied to specific points to release blockages and support the natural self-healing process.
You may feel subtle pulses, warmth, or energy shifts as circulation and chi begin to move.
These sensations are a sign the body is rebalancing — relax and allow the process to unfold.
