What if the life you've been waiting for has been waiting on you to make room for it?
Not the version of you that's been managing. That's been holding it together. That's been showing up in shapes that were easier for everyone else to receive. That version has done its job. And on the evening of May 22nd, we are giving it a dignified goodbye.
Kallari (ka-ya-ree) — in Kichwa means the beginning, the first opening, the moment before something new is possible. You cannot arrive at kallari without shedding what came before it. That's what this night is really about. Not the release itself, but what rises the moment you stop filling every inch of yourself with what no longer belongs there. The Amaru (serpent energy) in my ancestral tradition knows this. She doesn't shed because something is wrong. She sheds because she has outgrown the skin — because the next version of her is already fully formed underneath it, just waiting for the old layer to fall so it can breathe.
That's you right now. Something new is already formed in you. Already whole. Already ready. It just needs you to stop clutching the old story long enough to feel it.
We'll work with ceremonial cacao to open the body's deeper intelligence. Ancestral breathwork to move what words can't touch. And a guided immersive meditation journey that will take you to the threshold of who you are becoming and let you feel — in your body, not just your mind — what it's like to actually step into it. With the sound healing ally of Icaros, you’ll be able to surrender to a place within that has long been craving your love and attention.
In my ancestral lineage, a beginning is never accidental. It is something you step into — deliberately, with your whole body, after you have done the work of clearing the ground. Kallari is that step. This ceremony is the clearing.
What you call into your life after this night will have somewhere real to land.
What to Bring: Yoga mat, blanket or layers, water, journal. Come as you are — not as you think you should be.
A note on cacao: Cacao is a heart-opening plant medicine and she works on real physiology — increasing blood flow, activating the cardiovascular system, and moving emotions that have been sitting still. My recommendation is for you not to partake in the consumption of the cacao drink if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, on SSRIs, MAOIs, antidepressants, managing a heart condition or high blood pressure, or sensitive to stimulants. You are completely welcome to attend and receive the ceremony without the cup — the breathwork and the journey hold their own power. Any questions about whether cacao is right for your body, please reach out before you book. I want you here and I want you safe.
