Saturday, May 24 | 5:45 PM – 9:30 PM | Exeter, RI

Join Annette, Community Cacao, and Sonic Field for a half-day retreat under the open sky—a powerful evening of heart-opening ceremony, elemental prayer, and deep vibrational healing. Held at a private home in Exeter, RI, this intimate gathering invites you into a sacred container where community, nature, and spirit meet.

🌿 Our evening includes:

✨ Guided Meditation & Ceremonial Cacao We’ll begin with a guided meditation followed by a warm cup of Keith’s Cacao, ethically sourced from Guatemala. Guided by Rudy, of Community Cacao, this pure, high-theobromine cacao supports heart opening, inner clarity, and deep presence.

✨ Despacho Ceremony Led by Annette Burke, this traditional Andean offering ritual calls in gratitude, healing, and harmony. Together, we’ll co-create a living prayer through a despacho bundle—filled with collective symbolic, biodegradable offerings—to honor Pachamama.

✨ Shamanic Fire Ceremony A transformative ritual where we release what no longer serves us and call in what we’re ready to embody. You’ll prepare a Death Arrow (to let go) and a Spirit Arrow (to call in), and offer a prayer for Mother Earth with our Pachamama stick. Fire is the sacred witness to our process—burning away the old, igniting the new. Facilitated by Annette.

✨ Sacred Sound Immersion with Sonic Field The evening culminates in an extraordinary sound journey led by Jaime Allen Poyant and Alan Stonewolf of Sonic Field. Through flutes, drums, rattles, guitar, didgeridoo, OM wind wands, and more, you’ll be bathed in healing frequencies that touch the body, heart, and soul.

You’ll also be invited to join in a spirit-guided group toning session (vocal and/or instruments), followed by a communal celebration with a powerful 36” Grandmother Drum—anchoring the energy we’ve cultivated together.
