Meet Amanda Zavaleta (she'll lead the cacao ceremony)

Hi, my Name‘s Amanda and I‘m a Spaceholder and Mentor

I’m interested in who you are when there’s nothing left to prove.

Through 1:1 experiences just for women, Cacao Ceremonies, Soundhealings, Embodiment, Breathwork and Drum Journeys, I create spaces where the noise quiets down and something more honest can emerge.

To create moments where you can hear your own truth louder than the expectations, the pressure, and the performance.

My music and healing soundscapes are an extension of this work — invitations to soften, listen, and meet yourself beyond the roles you’ve learned to play.

Meet Reto – Energy Work (he'll be there for you during the event)

Reto has been supporting people through intuitive energy work for years. Guided by presence, compassion, and deep listening, he creates a safe space where participants can reconnect with themselves and restore inner balance.

At the festival, Reto will introduce his Energy work – a simple yet powerful practice that combines movement, awareness, and energy work to help release tension, clear blockages, and activate the body's natural healing potential.

Rather than following a fixed technique, Reto works intuitively, responding to what each person needs in the moment. His approach is gentle, grounding, and heart-centered, inviting you to slow down, reconnect, and experience greater clarity, flow, and well-being.

Join Reto for a nourishing experience of movement, energy, and self-discovery. ✨

Meet Ivan Hochstrasser

Ivan may offer a relaxing gong bath and will bring ceremonial cacao directly from Peru for our cacao ceremony.

Hi, I'm Ivan.

I'm a Gong Master. I create spaces where your inner wisdom, body awareness, and regenerative power can emerge.

Through the frequencies and resonance of the gong, I invite your nervous system into deep rest, release, and reconnection with yourself.

For your nervous system.

For your body.

For your inner truth.

Experience resonance. Give your body space to regenerate.
