Annalisa has been journeying with ceremonial cacao for the past 6 years both here in Australia and overseas, including Bali, Sedona and New Zealand.  As she continues to train with shamans from South America it is with great reverence to the plant, the people and the traditions passed down that she loves sharing this plant wisdom in both individual and group settings. 

From deep meditative and sound healing sessions to gentle movement and ecstatic dance, Annalisa is known as a gentle space holder that creates containers for individuals to explore their fullest expression and potential.

Event Information

"I was lucky enough to have Annalisa facilitate some incredible sessions at my recent retreat at Soma in Byron Bay. I cannot describe in words her beautiful energy she brought to the group of women that attended and the profound effect she had on each and everyone of us. Her teachings and the way she held space for everyone is truly gift and I hope to work with her again in the future. I cannot recommend connecting with Annalisa highly enough." - Danni Stephens Academy of Manifestation 

 

"An old version of me sat in circle facilitated by Annalisa.  The REAL version of me walked away from it.  Her circle guided me back home to myself.  Her facilitation was beautiful, emotional and powerful as was the shift she guided and held me through.  I have learnt and felt so much and will be forever grateful." Rachel Barbounis

 

"I can honestly say that I have not enjoyed something as much as I did this ceremony. I feel I have released so much I had built up. Being in a close space with women who have similar intentions felt really wholesome. I can't wait for the next one." - Ashley

 

"Thank you so much for providing space for women to step into their power. Allowing women to just BE, no barriers. This gave me permission to be my authentic self and = felt safe to do so. Thank you so much beautiful women." - Jodie Creek

About Cacao

Cacao ceremonies have been practiced for thousands of years, originating all the way back to Mayan and Aztec traditions in Central and South America, used for spiritual, medicinal and ceremonial purposes for inner awakening and creative guidance.  Pure ceremonial cacao is used as a heart opening medicine for people to safely experience awakening, revelation and inner healing.  When used in a sacred medicinal ritual, intentions are set and once consumed, euphoric states are unlocked, negative emotions are released and we are able to connect to ourselves and the loving energy in our body. 

These ceremonies are a beautiful invitation to drop into full presence, activate and expand the heart space, deepen your connection to both your inner and your outer worlds.  

Cacao ceremonies are a type of shamanic healing – which is one of the oldest holistic healing practices used by indigenous cultures all over the world. These types of healing ceremonies work with rebalancing energies in the body to regain health and vitality.  However, unlike other shamanic experiences, drinking cacao will not make you hallucinate or give you some sort of ‘out-of-body’ experience.  Instead, cacao is used to gently touch your heart and to guide you into an inner journey deep into the emotional centre of our body – our heart. 

When we sit in sacred ceremony with this plant medicine, together we create a potent practice that has you dial in rich in intention, gratitude and creativity. 

Each ceremony an invitation to gather, tune in, surrender and step into a life lead from the heart. 

Leaning into and recalibrating back into this space not only helps you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and others, it also allows you to open yourself up to that which is similar in us all rather that what is different. 

 

Like all things we suggest you lean into resonance with ceremonial cacao.  Ceremonial doses are quite high for some, so if you have any concerns or are on any medications pls see the cacao safety and cacao contraindications sheet provided by seleno health here.

IN PERSON GROUP SESSIONS

"I went to Annalisa’s new moon cacao ceremony and wow! I joined with an open mind and no expectations and this seriously blew my mind. Annalisa has this super power in making everyone feel comfortable. I did not expect to be having so much playfulness and joy in a ceremony. I had different emotions washing through me and felt safe and at home within my body. I don’t know if it was the cacao itself, the women joining in circle, the banging playlist of heart opening music… or a combination of all the elements above. It was truly magic. I left feeling that I’ve released something and reconnected to myself and others. If you get the chance to go, you should go!" - Jenna

 

 

GUIDED BREATH WORK SESSIONS

Are you looking to explore the world of breath work?   

As a trained and certified yoga and functional breath work facilitator I love guiding individuals into a deeper state of presence, when we have a deeper awareness of our breath, we have a deeper awareness of self.  Through the breath we begin to connect the dots between mind body connection, explore the soothing and calming benefits as well as reach peak experiences in a SAFE and held environment.  After years of experiencing large group sessions, I felt called to create a container that offers a deeper integration of these sometimes overly activating experiences and REturn you back into an optimal state that is best for you and your body.  These sessions are available in one on one sessions in my Sacred Healing Space.  Email for more information.

ECSTATIC DANCE / FEMININE FLOW

REturning back to our divine feminine nature is a passion of mine that has had me lead workshops, cacao, yoga and dance experiences over the past 6 years.  With so much focus on reclaiming your feminine essence, I like to gently guide you home to your heart and your womb and remind you that you are already perfect, whole and complete, just not yet finished, and that through breath, movement and deeper presence you can access and activate the divine codes already within you.  Join me in my workshops either online or in person where we explore masculine, feminine wisdom and how to lean deeper into your feminine flow.
