*Inspire & Connect provide retreats that help us pursue inner happiness, peace, freedom, and personal growth through wellness group activities. Here in a safe space, together we discuss ideas without judgment, and share stories we've never told a soul.
*Please note that this is an adult-exclusive retreat available to people 16 years of age and older.
On a tranquil afternoon near the North Coast of Taiwan, we organized a mindfulness journey led by "Cacao" for those who have no outlet for anxiety and tension.
Our journey began with opening up our awareness of the body. Through breathing exercises and stretches, we open the heart chakra and feel every inch of vitality in our bodies.
After awakening the body and mind, we will explore the ancient wisdom of the "Cacao Ceremony": where the chemical compounds in cacao help alleviate stress and enhance a sense of joy in body and mind.
In the cacao ceremony, in addition to consuming cacao to inspire creativity and open the senses, it is complemented by sound healing, breath frequency tuning, and body movement to help the body and mind relax and flow deeply. Finally, the ceremony concludes with a peaceful meditation moment, bringing the body and mind back to tranquility.
In the evening, we will gather together to exchange the special experiences and stories of the day with our companions, injecting new energy into our busy lives.
