Rooted in Intention
We will start with meditative exercises and movements, intention setting through language and engaging the senses, and other grounding and opening practices. After a light plant-based lunch, we will share in a cacao ceremony, followed by constellation work. We will finish with integrative exercises and dance, and celebrate the close of day with cake and quiche to nourish and nurture ourselves.
No prior experience is needed. All are warmly welcome. Feel free to contact us with any questions and please get in touch if the cost is a barrier to participating.
We will set intentions for the year and do so from a reawakened connection with our core values, our sole and soul purpose. From this place, we can show up to life fully present, engaged and embodying what makes our eyes shine, our smiles widen, our words and actions clear and true, and our stride confident and sure.
In the next step, we turn towards ourselves to allow and welcome parts in us that want to be seen. We allow ourselves to be fully present, just to be and to be seen with whatever is, be it pleasant or unpleasant.
Furthermore, we offer the possibility to have a deeper look into unresolved problems, patterns, conflicts or other themes you are struggling with. Constellation Work is a great method to untangle circumstances and to bring brighter understanding, clarity and peace into our lives. You can constellate almost any issue.
To support this process, we will drink cacao in a ceremony honoring the cycles of life and the planet and bringing us into alignment with Nature, inside and out. Cacao is an ancient and gentle heart opening medicine that pairs beautifully with Constellation Work.
Consciously walking though life is two-fold. On one hand, it is essential to set intentions and be in touch with what really matters to us. On the other hand, we have to surrender and be with what is in order to experience life in the here and now and to understand the teachings life wants to show us. It is important to be in balance with these two sides or aspects.
Emily Basa Besa
Cacao and Constellation Work is a potent and natural combination to support grounding, putting roots down and deepening awareness of self in relation to others.
Cacao has been cultivated and enjoyed for thousands of years, which is not surprising given its natural heart opening, mood enhancing, and energy giving properties. Together we will pay homage to the origins of ceremonial cacao, explore the mythology and imagery of sacred trees, and honor the cycles of life, nature and the planet. By connecting with the tree of life and the networks and root systems that sustain all life, we can access our inner resources and our interconnectedness.

Constellation Work
The method can give you a deeper understanding of who you are and the ability to see yourself in the reflection of another person. Furthermore, there is the possibility of getting in touch with your inner landscape. Emotions with which you are identified can be felt consciously, difficult behavioral patterns can dissolve, and often you are able to relate to your reactions to others. Sometimes we can come to understand the message life wants to teach us. Constellation work and the life integration process can be catalysts for self-realization.
The work is about surrendering to what is, without wanting to change or get rid of anything. It’s about looking from the perspective of the here and now and allowing yourself to be completely touched by it. It is about allowing yourself to be changed by life.
