Coming Home to the Heart
This retreat is all about winding and grounding down to connect with the self. At Casa Awanima, we are a walk away from the lake as well as rivers and waterfalls. Everything we need is right here on location- including spa treatments! We will also have the option to drink cacao throughout our days here.
Cacao is the purest form of chocolate, and it's also known as a heart opener! Unlike processed chocolate, ceremonial cacao is pure, unrefined, and prepared with deep reverence. It’s made from whole cacao beans that are lightly roasted, stone-ground, and blended only with water, allowing its natural compounds like theobromine and anandamide to awaken the body’s inner chemistry of love and connection.
Here, our only purpose is to relax, unclench the jaw, and truly unwind. If you are looking for a true escape, this is for you.
