workshops + retreats
Join us for a transformative women's circle that weaves together the sacred traditions of cacao, Ayurveda, yoga, and the energetic wisdom of the equinoxes and solstices to help you reconnect with your inner power.
In this sacred gathering, we will explore how these ancient practices can help us align with the cycles of nature, cultivate deep self-awareness, and harness the unique energies of the changing seasons.
What to Expect:
🌿 Cacao Ceremony: We will begin by drinking ceremonial-grade cacao, an ancient plant medicine that opens the heart and enhances our connection to intuition and higher consciousness. This gentle yet powerful plant spirit will guide us into a space of openness, healing, and collective sisterhood. We will have live instruments and an opportunity to use our voices collectively in chant, accompanying this highly powerful ceremony.
🌸 Ayurvedic and Yogic Wisdom: Through the lens of Ayurveda and Yoga, we will explore how the seasons influence our minds, bodies, and spirits. Learn how to align your unique dosha with the energies of the equinoxes and solstices, and discover simple Ayurvedic practices and beauty rituals. Through the power of yoga asanas (poses) and pranayama (breathwork), we will restore balance, enhance vitality, and support your emotional well-being.
🌞 Harnessing the Equinoxes and Solstices: These pivotal moments in the solar cycle offer profound opportunities for personal transformation. Together, we will explore the symbolic power of the equinoxes and solstices to ignite inner strength, release what no longer serves you, and set intentions for growth, abundance, and grace.
This circle is open to women of all backgrounds and experiences. Whether you are new to these practices or have been on a spiritual journey for years, come as you are and be welcomed with open arms.
Women’s Circle: Cacao Ceremony, Ayurveda and kundalini Yoga
March 15, 2025 | 1:30 - 4:00 PM
Join us for an evening of spiritual healing utilizing three powerful modalities: Reiki (floating hand positions over the body), Restorative Yoga, and an unforgettable Sound Bath by classically trained pianist, yoga teacher, and Reiki Master, Alyssa Lauren Stone.
Alyssa is also excited to welcome certified Reiki Master, Ann Massie, who will be performing Reiki to support holistic healing through the Usui tradition.
We will be using the power of numerology on the date of the event, 2/22, to unlock insights. Like the moon cycle and astrology, numerology is a practice that connects us to the magical patterns of everyday life. In numerology, 2/22 is an “angel number” and activation portal that brings with it a highly meditative energy, perfect for sound therapy.
Together, we will harness these cosmic energies using powerful healing modalities:
Sound Healing
Reiki
Restorative Yoga
to rebalance our chakras and clear our auras.
Please join a Yoga Flow SF resident teacher, Alyssa Lauren Stone, as she takes you on a sound healing journey from the Himalayas all the way to the outer cosmos, utilizing Tibetan and crystal singing bowls and a wide range of sound healing instruments including a gong, piano, drums, and chimes.
As a certified Reiki Master and Restorative Yoga teacher, Alyssa will also guide you through restful poses using yoga props such as bolsters, blankets, blocks, and straps to deepen relaxation.
By harmonizing our energetic fields and increasing our frequencies, we will become better equipped to make our dreams a reality.
* Please bring a yoga mat, eye cover, and wear socks if possible. Optional to bring yoga props (if you prefer to use your own blankets, bolster, blocks, and strap).
