:: a monthly gathering ::
Please join us for a special SOLSTICE EDITION of our monthly cacao circle — a sacred space to connect, heal, and remember through the power of this potent medicine.
In celebration of the Summer Solstice — the longest day of the year and a time to honor the fullness of light, vitality, and abundance — we will gather in the spacious embrace of theYURT. This circle will be slightly longer than usual and lovingly guided by two facilitators, making it an especially expansive and heart-filled evening to celebrate the radiance of the season and the light within.
Sunni — a devoted mama bear, space holder, + song carrier — leads deeply heartfelt, spirit-led circles rooted in reverence and authentic connection. For this Solstice celebration, our circle takes on a special glow as she is joined by guest facilitator Lara Woolfson — a visionary artist, intuitive guide, and ceremonial spaceholder — whose presence brings added depth and radiance. Together, they will co-create a richly woven experience of sound, prayer, and heart-opening communion as we honor the turning of the light.

Pure ceremonial cacao has the ability to open the heart, relieve stress, promote emotional release, stimulate creativity, elevate energy levels without the crash, enhance feelings of bliss + connection, and align us with our personal vision + life mission.
Come circle up with community during this monthly offering to set intentions, enjoy a cup of potent ceremonial cacao, express what is on your heart, and close with a sumptuous sound journey where various instrumentation is woven together with the medicine of cacao to induce a state of pure relaxation and bliss.

Meet Your Facilitators //
Erica ‘Sunni’ Sunshine //
At her core, Sunni is a mama bear, devoted to the art of balancing softness with strength. She tends to spaces that feel both tender and deeply held — a reflection of her commitment to family, community, and the sacred web that connects us all.
Sunni strives to move with this balance in everything she does, especially through her relationship with cacao and sound. These living medicines are central to her being — guiding her heart-work, opening pathways for connection, healing, and deep remembrance.
Lara Woolfson //
Lara Woolfson is a South African-born artist, sound healer, and ritual facilitator with an MFA from Lesley University. Rooted in Shamanic arts, Reiki, and polarity work, she weaves ancient traditions with intuitive sound to create sacred spaces for healing and transformation.
Through ceremony, community, and the medicine of voice, Lara invites others to realign with their true selves and remember the wisdom within. She believes healing happens together — in shared spaces of reflection, connection, and deep listening.
