Welcome friend! 

You’ve given yourself the gift of pause. Be proud of taking this time to nurture your mind, body and spirit. We recommend setting aside a couple hours to fully enjoy your kit. Find a calm, cozy spot at home or step outside into nature. For the most restorative experience, consider putting your phone on “Do Not Disturb.”

This mini retreat is yours to create. We’ve included a suggested flow that you can move through at your own pace. During your retreat experience, you might feel called to add your own practices - perhaps dance, paint, breathe, sit in silence, connect with nature, or simply rest. Trust your intuition and honor what feels right for you.

About Your Kit

Palo Santo

Palo Santo, meaning “holy wood,” comes from South America and has been used in spiritual and healing practices for centuries. When burned, its smoke is believed to cleanse heavy energy, create clarity, and invite peace into the space. Use it before beginning your retreat to set the tone and open your ritual.

Cacao

Ceremonial cacao is pure, minimally processed cacao that has been used for thousands of years in indigenous traditions for healing and connection. It is rich in magnesium, antioxidants, and theobromine, supporting both physical vitality and emotional openness. Known as a heart-opener, cacao can help you connect with your inner truth, spark creativity, and invite self-compassion.

Yoga & Meditation

Yoga supports you in moving stagnant energy through the body, opening the heart, and grounding you in the present moment. Meditation helps quiet the mind, deepen awareness, and reconnect you with your truth. Together, they balance movement with stillness, action with reflection, leaving you feeling both energized and centered.

Each element of this kit is here to meet you where you are

Suggested Flow

1. Create your Space

Wear something comfortable and create a calm space where you can fully immerse yourself in this retreat with minimal distractions. Gather anything you might need, such as a lighter or matches for lighting your palo santo, a pen for journaling, and your yoga mat.

2. Use Palo Santo

Light your palo santo and gently wave the smoke around your space. As you do, invite positive energy in and imagine a protective white light surrounding you.


3. Drink Cacao


Follow the instructions on the back of your cacao packet and prepare your cacao with intention.

Before your first sip, take a moment to thank the medicine for opening your heart and guiding you.

As you slowly drink, savor the experience. Notice the aroma, the warmth in your hands, and the flavors on your tongue.

Let each sip be a reminder to arrive fully in the present moment.

Reflection Prompt: What intention do I want to set for myself today?

4. Guided Meditation

Reconnect with your truth through stillness and presence.

  • What am I ready to let go of to create more space for what I desire?

  • What am I grateful for in this moment of pause?
