Have you ever been drawn to the self empowering, healing and elevating effects of shamanism?
Wait...What do we mean by shamanism, you may ask?
At Breathe and Believe, we see the goal of shamanic healing is to work out the root of a person’s problems and resolve them... for good.
As facilitators, we are not the shamans. Rather, these events teach you to be the shaman of your life. We simply guide you through the practice.
Join us as we tap into our own inner Shaman—our source for self-healing, self-empowerment and the remover of darkness.
This transcendental experience is designed to help you realize the infinite nature of who you are and your ability to thrive and heal. It weaves together yogic pranayama, western physiology, South American shamanism and harmonic frequencies.
This event includes breathwork and sound journey for releasing the feel good neuro-chemicals, clearing trauma, activating the chakras, and opening higher consciousness.
Students of this practice report profound levels of meditation, deep brain states, visualizations, awakening experiences and self-healing.
This event will also include the use of Cacao, a heart opening stimulant used for thousands of years for awakening and self-healing. We use premium Cacao directly from Peru.
See below for more information on Cacao.
*Not suitable for those who are pregnant or experience epilepsy, heart problems or severe medical conditions.

About Cacao:
Cacao is known throughout South America as the "Elixir of the Gods." It is a powerful medical plant for opening the Heart Chakra and expanding our awareness/consciousness. It can aid in personal transformation, awakening, removing negative patterns, or to simply feel a deeper connection with higher self and source consciousness.
Cacao in its raw and natural state contains over 300 compounds, including the chemicals anandamide, phenylethylamine and theobromine which are known for euphoric-blissful states. The cacao we will use in this ceremony is pure, ceremonial grade.
