CONSCIOUS COLLAB

The vision of Conscious Collab is to share the sacred plant medicine of cacao and the deeply healing practice of somatic yin yoga within a safe/trauma sensitive, loving, and empowering space. The vision is to also soulfully collaborate with other space holders to support and unite the community through inclusive gatherings to promote liberation, peace and unity.

After a few years of a devotional and deepening practice with ceremonial cacao, and through experiencing huge transformational shifts in her own heart and life, Kelly, the Co-Founder of Conscious Collab, was called to complete the Heart Awakening Cacao Facilitation Training. She has also completed the Seleno Health Ukha Pacha Cacao Ceremony Facilitator Training.

Kelly’s own life journey through trauma, addiction and healing awakened her to follow a soul led life helping others to find their own light and shine brightly once again. She has completed the Stella Yoga 60hr Trauma Sensitive Yin Yoga, Personal Development & Facilitator Training and a Diploma in Health Sciences through the Naturopathic College of NZ.

CACAO & CEREMONY

A sacred plant medicine known to grow along the equatorial belt in particular Central and South America. Cacao has been used for thousands of years in ancient traditions, rituals and rites of passage. More now than ever does this world need the healing medicine of cacao to open our hearts, to awaken and to heal.

When used in ceremony, in sacred space, with heartfelt intention, the medicine of cacao works to bring us back to our hearts, to facilitate healing and transformation. When brought back to our hearts, our sacred epicenter, we are once again deeply connected to ourselves and the worlds around us both seen and unseen.

Cacao boasts many amazing nutritional benefits supporting physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Cacao can gently stimulate the cardiovascular system increasing blood flow and energy, support the healthy production of serotonin and dopamine, increase mental focus and clarity, promote feelings of relaxation, happiness, love, increase creativity and inspiration, nourish the body with various vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and health promoting fats and can help to take us out of our heads and into our heart space.

SOMATIC YIN YOGA

This trauma sensitive practice creates a safe space to drop into yin poses fully supported along with manual and energetic stimulation of fascia for balancing and healing. A safe and intentional sacred space is created along with breath awareness to surrender to each pose with the use of props and hands on adjustments.

A nourishing practice for the body by providing a safe space to deeply stretch and lengthen and for the mind and spirit by providing a safe space to just be, to invite in stillness, go within and to feel into what is present and release what no longer serves.

This space is one to come home to yourself, into the body, to release, to let go and to create space for your own healing. This is a divine gift of self care, to be present, to be in an empowering space where you can safely go within and know you are held.
