Gentle Somatic Reset for Stress Relief + Nervous System Support

Have you ever been lying right next to your partner and still felt like they’re a million miles away?

That usually doesn’t happen because something is off or the love is lost. 

It happens because life gets full, our bodies get tired, and somewhere along the way we start moving through the day beside each other instead of really with each other.

Maybe it feels like you’re mostly talking about schedules, plans, chores, kids, work, or what needs to happen next.

Maybe you miss the slower moments.

Maybe you’ve tried to reach for connection, but somehow it turns into frustration, shutdown, or feeling unseen.

Most of us want deeper connection in our relationships. We want to feel close. We want to feel chosen. We want to feel that our partners are really there with us.

But connection is not always something we’re taught how to create on purpose.

That’s why we created Cacao & Connection: A Mindful Date Night for Couples.

This evening is for couples who love each other and know there is more available. More softness. More presence. More play. More tenderness. More comfort in giving and receiving intentional touch.

Together, you’ll be guided through a cozy, heart-centered experience with ceremonial-grade cacao, a heart-opening meditation, conscious connection practices, and attuned touch with your partner.

So many workshops feel like a lecture, or therapy, or are centered around fixing something. This is not that. 

It’s a mindful date night designed to help you slow down, settle in, and remember what it feels like to really be together.

We’ll provide the ceremonial cacao, yoga mats, bolsters, blankets, and other cozy items to help you relax into the experience. All we ask is that you bring your curiosity, openness, and willingness to meet your partner with fresh eyes and open heart.

All touch is consensual, partner-based, and fully clothed.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

-You will be fully clothed the whole time
-We will serve cacao (a minimally processed warm drinking chocolate)
-There will be a guided meditation to bring you into the experience
-Sensual touch will be above the clothing or on exposed skin, so dress to your comfort in layers
-There will be no genital touch
-We will begin with a consent conversation for the space, the facilitators, and for each couple
-You will only be connecting with your partner
-Feel free to bring extra nesting materials (cozy blankets, pillows, water bottles) since we will be on the floor
-There will be a demo for each segment and you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions
-Participation is by choice and you are invited to participate at your comfort level

Why cacao?

Cacao is the aphrodisiac your parents didn’t know about (or maybe they did). It contains bioactive compounds that elevate mood, increase circulation, and enhance connection. This can lead to feelings of expansiveness, groundedness, and profound connection to self and others. We’ll be serving ceremonial grade cacao to create the conditions for deep connection. 

You can learn more about the health benefits of cacao here: https://ceremonial-cacao.com/.../neurochemistry-mood...

If you wake up with your jaw clenched, joints stiff, or body tense, you might be holding more stress in your body than you realize.

In the fast-paced world we live in, it can be easy to disconnect from the body, which can cause you to store unprocessed stress in the body and miss the signals the body sends. This can lead to symptoms like chronic tension, anxiety, chronic pain, decreased mobility, poor posture, digestive issues, and low mood. 

Self-bodywork works to untangle the layers of emotion and tension that get stuck in the body and bring the nervous system back into balance.

In this workshop, you’ll learn self-bodywork techniques that release tension, regulate your nervous system, and restore a sense of ease and comfort in your body. These are practical tools that you can use in your everyday life that bring groundedness and balance to your body within a matter of minutes.

Join us to learn self-bodywork for nervous system regulation and leave feeling grounded and restored.

A Somatic Journey Into Embodied Aliveness

RECLAIM goes beyond superficial self-love practices and instead takes you deep into the wisdom of your body, your living temple.

This experience is an invitation to get out of your head and back into the source of your power - your body. Through somatic practices, embodied movement, self-bodywork, and cacao, you will journey into the body as a site of safety, pleasure, power, and presence. In community, you will begin to reclaim your connection to your body - a place of deep intelligence, sensation and inner knowing.

We will awaken sensation, listen to the body’s language, and remember what it feels like to be grounded in ourselves - fully, warmly, and without apology.

Guided by Mia Becker, nervous system guide and somatic practitioner, you’ll be led into states of deep regulation, embodied bliss, and subtle activation, reconnecting you with your natural state of embodied aliveness.

In this workshop, you will experience:

• Ceremonial cacao to deepen your connection to your body and expand awareness of sensation

• Self-bodywork practices to awaken sensation, presence, and intimacy with the body

• Embodied movement to activate life force, open the body, and stoke the fire within

• Somatic practices to cultivate embodied presence, inner safety, and grounded power

• Community connection to lift you up and provide support on your path

This is a return to the body as home, as temple, and as the place where your aliveness waits for you.

Blooming Into Being is a springtime somatic afternoon retreat designed to help you gently shed what no longer fits, nourish your inner soil, and awaken the aliveness that’s ready to rise through you.

This is not about forcing growth.
It’s about creating the conditions where growth becomes inevitable.

Through embodied practices, sensory ritual, and heart-centered connection, we will tend to the fertile ground within — preparing the body, nervous system, and spirit to plant seeds that will blossom in the months ahead.

Together, we’ll weave a nourishing and uplifting experience through:

• Somatic practices and embodied movement to invite lightness, expansion, and presence into the body

• Guided breathwork and energy practices to clear stagnation, awaken vitality, and support renewal

• Nourishing herbal infusions and foods to support digestion, circulation, and the gentle return of energy

• Ritual and reflection for visioning and seed-planting — clarifying what you are ready to grow, call in, and become

• Heart-centered connection and community to remind us that we do not bloom alone

Through grounding practices, guided prompts, and playful exercises, you'll have the chance to unwind from your week, meet new people, and experience what connection can feel like when the nervous system is supported.

FREE and open to all.

When was the last time you truly felt at home in your body?

In today’s fast-paced world, many of us live in a state of chronic stress—disconnected from the body and holding tension that never quite gets to unwind. Over time, this can show up as anxiety, fatigue, pain, and emotional overwhelm.

This workshop is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and release what your body has been holding. Through guided somatic awareness, gentle movement, breathwork, and self-bodywork, you’ll learn practical ways to regulate your nervous system, soften areas of tension, and reconnect with your natural state of ease.

You’ll walk away with:

• A deeper sense of connection and presence in your body

• Practical tools to calm your nervous system in daily life

• Greater awareness of where and how stress shows up in your body

• Simple self-regulation practices you can return to anytime you need grounding

Come as you are—no experience required. Leave feeling centered, spacious, and renewed.

Brazilian Zouk Open-Level Class & Social
After the Dancing into Connection intensive, join us for an open-level Brazilian Zouk class co-taught by Mia and Tomás, followed by a relaxed social dance. This class is beginner-friendly and open to all — no prior experience or partner needed.

We’ll explore the foundations of Brazilian Zouk through connection, rhythm, and smooth, circular movement, emphasizing comfort, consent, and presence rather than performance. Whether you’re brand new to Zouk or returning to the dance floor, this class offers a supportive space to learn, move, and connect.

Stay after to dance, integrate, and enjoy the music together in a welcoming community atmosphere.

Schedule:
12:30-2:30 Dancing Into Connection - Special Topic Intensive
2:45-3:45 Zouk Open Level Workshop (Connection in Zouk)
3:45-7:00 Zouk Social

A 2-hour embodied exploration of presence, connection, and flow.

Dancing into Connection (Vol. 2) is an experiential workshop that deepens our exploration of breath, touch, presence, and authentic relating through the container of partner dance. This offering invites you into a richer, more nuanced experience of connection — with yourself, with others, and with the moment — while cultivating ease, comfort, and aliveness in movement.

Through guided somatic connection exercises and partner dance explorations, we will investigate what it feels like to listen and respond through the body, to move in dialogue with another person, and to access states of flow while dancing together. This workshop emphasizes listening through the body, attuning to sensation, and responding from felt presence rather than performance.

Social dancing — defined as any dance involving two or more people — offers a rich, embodied framework for exploring presence, grounding, connection, and aliveness in motion. In this space, we will practice moving with consent, clarity and curiosity, while discovering how breath, touch, and presence can support deeper connection and mutual regulation.

This workshop is open to dancers of many backgrounds, including contact improvisation, Brazilian Zouk, fusion, and other partner-based or improvisational forms, as well as dance-curious individuals who are new to partner movement.

No partner and no previous dance experience are required.
Come as you are — curious, embodied, and willing to explore what connection feels like when it’s lived through the body in motion.

This movement intensive will be followed by an optional Open-Level Zouk Workshop and Zouk Social with Zouksylvania.

RECLAIM is a sensory, somatic experience designed to bring you back home to your body.

Not through the surface-level kind of “self-love.”

Not through affirmations or aesthetics.

But through the kind of love and devotion that is felt — in your breath, your skin, your cells, your energy.

This experience is an invitation to soften out of survival, drop out of your head, and return to the place where aliveness actually lives. Through ceremonial cacao, breathwork, somatic practices, and sacred ritual, we will journey into the body as a site of safety, pleasure, power, and presence. We will awaken sensation. We will listen to the body’s language. We will remember what it feels like to be grounded in ourselves — fully, warmly, and without apology.

Guided by Mia Becker, a nervous system guide and somatic practitioner, you’ll be led into states of deep regulation, embodied bliss, and subtle activation — reconnecting you with the innate intelligence and vitality that already live within you.

Tending the Embers Within

A Winter Somatic Sanctuary

In the quiet heart of winter, our inner fires can dim — asking us to slow down, nourish deeply, and reconnect with what keeps us warm from the inside out.

Tending the Embers Within is a somatic afternoon retreat designed to help you come home to your body and rekindle your inner glow through embodied practices and rituals, warming nourishment, and heartfelt community.

Together, we’ll weave a cozy and restorative experience through:

• Somatic practices and embodied movement to awaken warmth and presence

• Guided breathwork and energy practices to circulate vitality through the body

• Warming foods and herbal elixirs to nourish the senses and the soma

• Heart-centered connection to remind us of the warmth we create together

This gathering is an invitation to slow down, soften, and stoke the inner flame that sustains you through the darker months — a space to rest, restore, and remember the quiet power of your own embodied warmth.

Come as you are, and let’s tend the embers within — together.
