-and a little cacao

A Retreat Day with Ateeka

Saturday 23 April 2022 10-17

Join us for a one day retreat with Ateeka, founder of yogaSOMATICS at Shanti Yoga.

Our day together will include gentle yogaSOMATICS movement/asana, deep guided relaxation, Conscious Touch/Somatic Bodywork in partners and the mindful sensing and drinking of a cup of beautiful lovingly prepared ceremonial cacao.

Morning:
Meditative yogaSOMATICS asana, gentle contact to your own breath, myofascial (bindevev) unwinding, deep relaxation practices and a cup of ceremonial cacao help us explore how energy moves and flows in your your own living body and gentle turns our attention towards a deeper contact with ourselves and the world around us.

Afternoon:
Giving & Receiving Conscious Touch/Somatic Bodywork. Learn a beautiful and simple bodywork practice for grounding and balance to share with a partner in the group. You will both give and receive gentle healing touch for 30-40 minutes each. Our touch practices are fully-clothed, relaxing on your mat on the floor and consent-informed.

About CEREMONIAL CACAO: After learning a little bit about the history, benefits and unique qualities of holistic ceremonial cacao, you will enjoy a warm cup of cacao lovingly prepared by Ateeka using only organic and natural vegan ingredients (havremelk and a little natural sweetener).

As ceremonial cacao is resonant with the heart . . . our entire day will touch into the theme of the heart. Practices of attuning to a felt-sense of the RESONANT FIELD of your own HEART and the energy streams that support flow in the HEART.

A practice supported with ceremonial cacao is grounding for your body . . . opening for your senses . . . and can offer a state of wakeful calm and a sensation of openness. It is said to be a “medicine of the heart” as the natural bio-components (theobromine) in the unprocessed cacao create a natural circulation of blood flow and relaxation.WHO IS THIS PRACTICE DAY FOR? Everyone is welcome to this grounding, relaxing (and DELICIOUS) day. Those new to cacao, yoga or meditation are very welcome and will find the practice to be accessible and sensory oriented! Experienced yoga practitioners and teachers may find this class to be inspiring, supporting and a good way to simply give a “treat” of practice to themselves.
