What is Gua Sha?
Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese facial massage practice using a smooth stone to release tension, support circulation, and brighten the skin. You’ll learn a simple routine to relax the face, reduce puffiness, and encourage a natural, healthy glow.
For the ritual, you will need to bring a Gua Sha tool with you, as well as a small table mirror. Gua Sha tools can also be purchased on arrival.
What is Ceremonial Cacao?
Ceremonial cacao is pure cacao traditionally used in ritual for its heart-opening, gently stimulating qualities. It supports circulation, mood, and presence, helping you to soften, feel more deeply, and connect with your inner world.
Ceremonial cacao is gently stimulating. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition, take antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication, or are sensitive to caffeine, please check with your healthcare provider before attending.
