Opening the Heart | Setting the Tone | Welcoming the Weekend

Join us as we begin our Camp Breastie weekend with a grounding and heart-opening Cacao Ceremony designed to welcome you into the space, connect you to your intentions, and unite us in community. Led by holistic practitioner and Journey with Cacao co-founder Ally Lyons, this ceremony is a sacred invitation to slow down, open your heart, and begin the weekend from a place of presence, curiosity, and connection.

Cacao—known as “The Food of the Gods”—is a gentle, sacred plant medicine that supports emotional healing, creative insight, and deeper self-awareness. During this opening circle, we’ll sip ceremonial-grade cacao together, reflect on our personal and collective intentions, and create space for the medicine to show us what we need—individually and as a community.

Expect mindfulness, intention setting, gentle movement or breathwork, and meaningful moments of sharing—all held in a loving, supportive container.

Let this ceremony be your grounding moment—a soft yet powerful start to a weekend of transformation and soul-nourishing connection.

Movement + Mindfulness: Gentle Flow Yoga + Yoga Nidra Meditation
Sunday June 8, 2025 8:00am - 8:45am EDT
Join Lynn for a deeply restorative mindfulness session designed to support both your physical and emotional well-being. We’ll begin with a gentle yoga sequence—accessible from either a seated or standing position—to help release tension and ground the body. From there, we’ll shift our focus to the breath, calming the nervous system and preparing for deeper relaxation. The session concludes with an extended Savasana featuring a soothing Yoga Nidra guided meditation. Practiced lying down, Yoga Nidra invites you into a state of conscious rest, offering a unique opportunity to access the subconscious mind for insight, healing, and transformation. This practice is ideal for deep introspection and a meaningful transition back into daily life after the camp experience.
