Lion's Gate Activation: Heart Centered Manifestation
Join us on August 8th for a special community gathering in honor of the Lion's Gate, a symbolic annual alignment that peaks during Leo season on 8/8. Associated with heart-centered awareness, personal empowerment, and intentional creation, this time invites us to release what no longer serves us and align with what we are ready to embody.
Facilitated by Seshen, this experience weaves together meditation, toning, crystal sound ritual, and collective presence as we explore the connection between the heart and solar plexus—cultivating clarity, courage, and alignment as we move toward our intentions with greater purpose and ease.
This experience includes:
• Energetic attunement & intention setting
• Embodied awareness
• Guided meditation
• Toning & sound ritual
• Closing circle
All are welcome!

Heart Awakening | Breathwork and Cacao Journey with Carolina
Feel lighter, more open, and deeply connected to your truth.
The Heart Awakening Journey is a guided, in-person experience designed to help you gently open, release, and reconnect with yourself.
Through ceremonial cacao and guided breathwork, you’ll be supported in moving stagnant energy, releasing emotional blocks, and returning to your inner wisdom.
We’ll begin by grounding into the space, connecting with one another, and setting personal intentions before moving into a cacao ritual.
Together, we’ll prepare ceremonial cacao and honor this beautiful plant medicine. As we sip, you’ll be guided into presence and invited to open your heart. Through prayer, intention, music, and gentle movement, we’ll honor the spirit of cacao and create space for deeper connection.
This is a space to connect with yourself, the group, and the spirit of cacao; inviting openness, clarity, and receptivity.
From there, we’ll transition into a guided breathwork journey: three rounds of conscious breathing designed to help you release heavy emotions, gain clarity, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, open-hearted, and deeply connected; to yourself, your truth, and the community around you.
This is an intimate and supportive space for anyone on a spiritual path who feels called to slow down, soften, and return to themselves. Spaces are limited, so we encourage you to register in advance.

ABOUT Carolina
Carolina Nella is a certified Breathwork and Cacao Facilitator, trained in Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, and Peru. She has been practicing breathwork for over five years after falling in love with its ability to unlock deep emotional healing and spiritual connection.
Her love for breathwork led her to an immersive “Transformational Breathwork & Sacred Space Holding” training in Guatemala, where she learned not only to guide conscious breathwork journeys but also to create grounded, nurturing spaces for deep inner work.
Her time in Guatemala deeply influenced her approach, weaving in earth-honoring rituals, cacao ceremony, and the ancestral wisdom of the land.
Her connection to ceremonial cacao began in 2024 during a visit to a cacao forest in Guatemala, where she first experienced its heart-opening medicine and its ability to cultivate presence, emotional openness, and deeper connection. This experience inspired her to continue studying cacao through both a three-month virtual training and an eight-day immersive training in the cacao forests of Peru, deepening both her personal relationship with the medicine and her approach to facilitating cacao circles in a grounded, respectful, and intentional way.
Today, she weaves breathwork and cacao into embodied experiences that support people in softening into the body, reconnecting with inner truth, and returning to a felt sense of presence.
Crystal Sound Healing —Throat Chakra Attunement
Join Seshen for an evening of deep nourishment and reconnection through the healing power of sound, vibration, and presence.
This August, we nourish the Throat Chakra, opening the channel for truth, creativity, and heartfelt communication.
Seshen blends the pure tones of clear quartz crystal singing bowls, pyramids, and harp with her voice, composing music in the moment that is attuned to the group's energy and intention.
The evening begins with a guided meditation and gentle toning to ground into the body and soften into the heart space, creating space for openness and inner listening. This is followed by a 50-minute immersive sound journey, culminating in integration and a final round of toning to help anchor the experience.
In this sacred space, the vibrations of your body merge with sound, crystal energy, and intention, guiding you toward balance, calm, and clarity while gently opening the channel for authentic expression, allowing your truth to be shared with presence, compassion, and ease.

Blue Moon Crystal Sound Healing — Inner Cellular Reset
Join Seshen for an evening of deep nourishment through the healing power of sound, vibration, and presence.
This May, we gather under the rare Blue Moon—the second full moon of the month—a time often associated with heightened illumination and completion. In this potent window, we turn inward to connect with the subtle intelligence of the body and the living field within our cells.
Through sound and resonance, we invite a gentle re-harmonizing of the body’s inner landscape—supporting clarity, balance, and renewal.
Seshen weaves together the pure tones of clear quartz crystal singing bowls, pyramids, harp, and voice—intuitively composing in real time, guided by the subtle energy of the space and the group. Each soundscape becomes a living transmission, unfolding moment by moment.
We begin with a gentle guided meditation to support arrival into the body and present-moment awareness. From here, you will be immersed in a 50-minute sound journey, allowing vibration to move through the physical and energetic body without effort or direction. The evening closes with a grounding integration to support embodiment and integration.
Within this immersive field, sound, intention, and vibration meet the fluid intelligence of the body. Layers of tension may unwind, perception may soften, and a deeper sense of inner alignment can emerge naturally. In this space of resonance, the nervous system is invited to soften, the body to reorganize, and awareness to settle into a more spacious state of coherence.
ABOUT SESHEN
Based in Ojai and originally from Japan, Seshen has been facilitating intentional sound healing rituals since 2016. She weaves together her expertise as a somatic therapist and her artistry as a vocalist and improviser—supported by a Master’s degree in music and improvisation—to create immersive sound experiences. Her work is deeply rooted in nature, her Japanese heritage, and more than 15 years of body-centered therapeutic practice.

One hour of yoga nidra can feel like four hours of sleep.
What to expect:
You lie down, fully supported
Julia guides you through body-based relaxation
Your system shifts into deep rest
Tension releases naturally
You emerge restored
Who this is for: Anyone exhausted, overwhelmed, or carrying stress in their body. No experience needed. Just bring yourself and something cozy.
Come as you are. Leave renewed.
