[Waiheke] Kohael Cacao & Sound Journey 01-11

A Cacao Ceremony & Live Immersive Sound Journey with Justin (Kohael) Join us for a deeply nourishing and restorative evening. At 6PM, you will be held in a space of connection. Everyone is invited to present themselves and share something to the collective. To ground, we will guide you through a breathwork, set intention for the journey ahead. We will then open a ceremonial space to invite the medicine of Cacao with reverence. At 6.30PM, after receiving Cacao, we will go into the sound journey. This is a meditation-style event where you will be invited to comfortably lie down and witness the music as it unfolds. The session includes a brief spoken opening and a guided visualisation to help you arrive fully into the space and soften into presence. From there, the Sound Journey unfolds as a continuous 70-minutes live performance, intuitively woven in the moment through vibration, resonance, and intentional listening. Designed to support deep relaxation, inner exploration, and nervous system restoration, Justin weaves together instruments such as: • Didgeridoo • Handpan • Jaw harps • Live looping & layered ambient textures • Mongolian throat singing (Sygyt & Khoomei) • Native & shamanic flutes • Nature soundscapes • Shamanic drum This offering is intentionally simple and inclusive. No participation, movement, or prior experience is required. Just arrive as you are and allow the music to carry you. You are welcome exactly as you are.
