Breathwork + Cacao: Regulation, Release & Reconnection
This Breathwork + Cacao journey offers a grounded, supportive space to reconnect with your body, breath, and inner landscape.
Through guided breathwork, we’ll explore how conscious breathing can support nervous system regulation, release stored tension, and create greater internal clarity. This practice invites you to slow down, listen more closely, and work with sensation and emotion in a safe, intentional way.
Ceremonial cacao will be shared as a gentle heart-opening ally, helping to deepen awareness, soften defenses, and support emotional integration throughout the session.
This experience is suitable for both first-time and returning breathwork participants. You’ll be guided with care, clear instruction, and options to support your own pace and comfort.
Expect:
- A grounded, guided breathwork journey
- Nervous system–informed facilitation
- Space for emotional release and integration
- A supportive group environment
- Time for rest and grounding at the close
Come as you are; curious, tired, open, or simply in need of space. This is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself in a meaningful, embodied way.

Anchoring the New: Breath, Song & Land
This is an invitation to slow down, root in, and remember what steadies you.
Held in the mountains and among the horses, this half-day gathering is about anchoring into a new foundation, personally and collectively, as we move forward into a new season and a new year of energy.
The Year of the Horse carries momentum, power, and forward motion. But true movement requires grounding. Before we run, we orient. Before we build, we root. This gathering is about tending the structures that allow us to move with clarity, vitality, and integrity.
What We’ll Do Together
We’ll begin outdoors with cacao ceremony and a walking meditation, allowing the land, the horses, and the mountains to orient our nervous systems and bring us into presence.
From there, we’ll move into the loft for:
• Guided breathwork
• Ritual and intention setting
• Song and voice as a form of integration—sharing, listening, and being witnessed
We’ll close the afternoon by coming together around food, simple, nourishing meal:
• Homemade soup
• Grilled cheese
• Warmth, connection, and grounding before heading back into the world
The Energy of the Day
This gathering is rooted in:
• the mothering intelligence of the land
• the steadiness of structure and foundation
• the fire and vitality of Horse energy
• community, voice, and shared presence
It’s not about pushing or performing.
It’s about resourcing.
About remembering what holds you.
About moving forward from a place that’s actually sustainable.
Your Guides: Virgine Rose Sauvagnat, Benoit Hudon, Krista Reid

This is a supportive, contained practice suitable for both new and experienced breathers.
Come as you are. Leave feeling more settled, clear, and resourced.

75-minute guided virtual session
Active breathwork + integration

BREATHWORK + CACAO: WINTER CLARITY
January carries a unique kind of medicine, the quiet void after the holidays, the cold air, the crystalline sky, and the invitation to get honest with ourselves.
In this session, we’ll work with cacao and a guided breathwork journey to soften the noise, clear what feels heavy, and reconnect with a grounded sense of clarity moving into the new year.
A slow, steady space to arrive, breathe, and remember yourself.
All are welcome. No experience is needed
The Listening Field
A Full Moon Gathering with the Horses
We gather in the listening field, on the land, in the presence of the horses, beneath the light of the Full Wolf Moon, as we welcome the Year of the Horse.
This is an invitation to slow down.
To land in the body.
To listen, to breath, to sound, to the land, and to the quiet intelligence of the animals who hold it.
Together, we’ll share ceremonial cacao, guided breathwork, and sound, allowing these practices to weave together as a way of grounding, clearing, and inviting new energy and frequency into the body and nervous system.
The Horse carries powerful medicine, embodiment, freedom, strength, sensitivity, and relational presence. The horses will be with us not as spectacle, but as teachers. Their steadiness and awareness offer a regulating field that supports us in arriving more fully, in ourselves and in this moment.
This gathering is less about setting intentions or resolutions, and more about attunement.
Listening.
Letting the body receive what’s ready to shift, soften, and take shape as we cross into a new year.

BREATHWORK + CACAO: WINTER SOLSTICE
This evening brings together a simple cacao ritual with a deep, guided breathwork journey. Cacao will be offered as a grounding, heart-opening way to arrive in yourself, to soften any tightness you’ve been carrying, and to meet the evening with presence.
From there, we move into breathwork. A space to clear the static of the past few months. To feel what’s been sitting underneath the surface. To let your system settle into the quiet that winter offers. The music, the pacing, the depth, it’s all designed to help you land, open, and reconnect to your own inner rhythm.
The winter solstice is a natural pause point. A moment to acknowledge what this year has held, and to choose what you want to carry forward into the returning light.
No experience is needed. Just bring yourself as you are.

Wintering
A Breathwork Circle for Deep Rest, Renewal, and Returning to the Rhythm of the Earth
On the quiet land we’ll gather for an evening of Breathwork attuned to the stillness of winter.
As the year draws toward its close, this is an invitation to slow down, to soften the body, quiet the mind, and listen for what’s stirring beneath the surface. Together, we’ll cross this seasonal threshold, breathing with the rhythm of the land and the hush of the trees.
Through the practice, we’ll release what’s been carried, restore what’s been depleted, and root into the deep rest that nourishes true renewal.

Samhain Breathwork: Breath as a Bridge
Samhain marks the turning of the wheel into the darker half of the year, when the veils grow thin and we’re invited inward. In this breathwork session, we’ll use the breath as a bridge—between body and spirit, earth and sky, seen and unseen. As the outer world quiets, our inner vision brightens. Together, we’ll breathe to strengthen intuition, awaken inner wisdom, and connect to the elements that sustain and support us in times of change.
