My journey in Sound Healing began late 2019 when my curiosity of sound frequencies enhancing and healing the mind, body and soul began. I joined a few sound bath experiences, but it wasn’t until 2021 where my heart was ripped open in a fully immersive Sound Bath Ceremony in Malibu, California (my home state). The chic, welcoming environment and the openness of the practitioner and the participants were so real and raw that I HAD to bring this practice to my community. It changed me in a deep way that I wanted to recreate that magical moment over and over again in my own way.

In May 2022, I decided to host a private Noble Sound Healing Practitioner Training at our family campground in Cumby, TX, Camp Discovery, that was led by a friend who has been in the healing arts for decades. It was a beautiful enriching experience.

Now, THIS SUMMER, I am going to lead my very FIRST ARY Retreats Sound Healing Certification Training! I am so excited to provide my personal experience and expertise in this RAPIDLY growing field.

My style is both intuitive and structured. I provide impactful, welcoming and soul-led sound baths by curating a fully immersive experiences that allows you to settle your mind and body before any sound even begins. How? Each sound bath experience is intentional - the meditation used to settle the mind, the practitioner’s tone of voice, demeanor, and in my opinion, even the set up can make the difference. For me, a sound bath is more than “just” bowls being played. It’s an intentional, powerful time for deep connection to self.

FAQs:

  • Do you have to be “Certified” to be a Sound Healer?

Technically, no. There is no “governing board” that approves or denies your capacity to lead sound baths. However, ARY Retreats believes ethically you should understand the basic mechanics, fundamentals, and contraindications before using these types of methods on clients and community.

  • Is ARY Retreats providing overnight accommodations?

The certification will be daily from 8:30am - 5:30pm. Overnight accommodations are not included in fees.

Note: If traveling from outside of the Dallas area, we do not provide airport transfers.

See above

  • What is “practicum”?

Students will have the opportunity to lead a group sound bath experience with Annette to help transition to leading your own groups. Dates will be agreed upon by student and Annette.

Once they settle and get comfortable, the healing session will begin with a short mediation to amplify the experience.

CACAO CEREMONY

On Going | Cumby, Texas

UPCOMING DATE TBD

Leave your info below to be the first to know the upcoming dates!

Join us for a beautiful, quiet afternoon at Camp Discovery’s for our Cacao Ceremony with Sana con Tere- a DFW based experienced Cacao Ceremonialist.

The afternoon begins with a gentle cleansing with copal (Mayan incense) around the body to clear you from any negative energy. You will then be guided to sit on your padded mat in quiet meditation and will have the OPTION to initiate the ceremony with HAPÉ - a safe, non-psychedelic plant medicine made from tobacco, that is inhaled through each nostril that “is used for deep connection to the spirits, animals and Mother Nature, it is very cleansing and powerfully healing for the body, mind, and soul.” It is said to decalcify the pineal gland for higher expansion.

The purpose for HAPÉ is to help you fully integrate into the experience, relax and let go. It is a VERY grounding medicine.

After the optional HAPÉ, the ceremony will officially begin. Tere will briefly explain the purpose and healing properties of Cacao and gently prepare with song and meditation to drink the heart opening elixir.

Please note, this is not a psychedelic experience. It is simply an experience for you to slow down, connect with nature and yourself.

You are encouraged to come solo, with a friend or partner.

Mats are provided.

Bring water, warms clothes and a blanket. Depending on weather, ceremony may be held inside a glamping tent.

_______

Cacao ceremonies today have …a genuine desire to connect with, to be guided by, and to learn from cacao. Cacao ceremony is an opportunity to listen and connect.

Cacao Ceremony means relating with cacao with gratitude, intention, and reciprocity. There are infinite ways to do a cacao ceremony, both as a solo practice and in a group context, as ceremony is an art form that responds to what is arising and true in the present moment. 

When we relate with cacao ceremonially, we open our apertures to a far greater experience than simply enjoying cacao as a delicious beverage with health, mood, and energy benefits. While all of these are compelling reasons to drink cacao, according to some Indigenous elders, ceremony is the way to put our lives into order and, in turn, bring the cosmos into order.

Cacao is a teacher that is skilled at helping us reconnect with our own hearts, tend our relationships, and walk through life purposefully and guided by clear vision.

The three universal pillars that we see as core to creating cacao ceremony are: gratitude, intention, and reciprocity.” -Ora Cacao
