Connected Center Events

Join Self Love Guide Kayla Anderson and Yoga & Movement Teacher Lucy Tofield for a blissful three-hour heart-opening experience.

Combining the heart-opening modalities of yoga, heart and brain coherence, and the heart medicine of cacao, we will take you through an experience that allows you to drop out of the mind and into the heart where deep peace, clarity, and connection can be found.

The benefits of the experience / what you could gain:

• Connect with your heart on a physical, spiritual, mental and emotional level

• Feel into the power of heart-brain coherence

• Learn about the physical and energetic aspects of the heart

• Experience heart-opening movements and postures

• Consume the heart-opening medicine cacao

• Make like-minded connections

• Enter a safe space to share what is on your heart

• Experience heightened feelings of love and peace within the body

• Feel a deeper connection to your heart space

• Experience a release of serotonin, dopamine, anandamide as we consume the cacao

What to expect:

We will begin by accessing higher levels of consciousness through consuming a delicious blend of rare and premium Criollo ceremonial cacao. This ancient medicine (chocolate in its most pure form and known as the medicine of the heart) has been cherished in ceremony for over five thousand years and is scientifically known to trigger the release of the many neurotransmitters that enhance feelings of deep love, and happiness in the body.

After the cacao ceremony, Lucy will guide you through a heart coherence meditation, which allows for a deep sense of relaxation and peace to enter the body. Lucy will then take you through a series of movements that will allow you to connect with the physical and energetic heart. Movements will be gentle, with lots of room for your own exploration. The movement part of the evening will end with some free movement and a chance to feel into another's heart energy, or connect more with your own heart energy.

For somebody who:

• Wants to feel a deep connection to their heart

• Wants to move into the new season with a deeper awareness of their true heart's desire

• Wants to deepen their intuition

• Is ready to feel love on a deeper level

• Is ready to feel expansive

• Wants to learn more about the physical heart, how it functions, and the electromagnetic energy of the heart.
