WHAT ITS ABOUT

Join us for a heart-led experience during Mental Health Awareness Week that weaves together the healing essence of Pacific Cacao with the power of conscious breath.

You’ll be introduced to Cacao as rongoā — a sacred plant ally known for its capacity to open the heart and gently awaken the wairua. Held in tikanga and pono, this session offers a grounded introduction to its daily use, cultural significance, and the subtle ways it supports emotional and energetic wellbeing.

From this softened, open space, we transition into an embodied Breathwork practice. You’ll learn the foundations of Breathwork — its physiology, its ability to regulate and restore the nervous system, and how to safely begin incorporating it into everyday life.

Together, we will co-create a safe and sacred space for reconnection — to your body, your breath, and your own inner fire. You’ll leave not only with a deeper understanding of these practices but with three simple, powerful techniques to carry into your daily rhythm.

REQUIREMENTS

Recommded you bring the following:

• Yoga Mat (we have some if you do not own one - first in)
• Wear comfortable clothing
• A Blanket (we have a couple if you cannot bring your own, again first in)
• botebook & pen
• Waterbottle

It is also reccommended that you do not eat one hour before the session - this is optional.

A LITTLE ON THE FACILITATORS

Marōtini is your local Cacao dealer with her business Ka kā wā Confectionary. Ka kā wā creates time and space for you to reignite your inner flame. We celebrate the ritual in the everyday. Taking notice of the small moments, the bubbles of joy, the moments of sadness, and allowing them to be held and processed in any way that feels right to you and your Wairua.

We are big fans of Somatic Movement, Breathwork and hands in the soil as Rongoā for the Soul, alongside Ka kā wā these create potent moments of release, energising and uplifting, allowing creation to unfold the journey ahead. Our Cacao is handcrafted on the beautiful whenua of Kāi Tahu, Kāti Māmoe and Waitaha in Waitati, Ōtepoti, Aotearoa from our Pacific neighbours in the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea.

Tee creates a space where you can;
lay down the armour, feel what’s been tucked away to meet yourself again — beyond the patterns, beyond the stories.

A place to honour meaningful practices that nurture deeper connection and holistic healing. I invite you to return to your core essence and lasting wellbeing — a gentle space to reconnect, restore, and realign with what truly matters.

If you’re standing in the in-between — tender, tired, or quietly seeking —
you’re in the right place.
Come as you are.
There’s something here for you.
