FEBRUARY 2023
Cacao Ceremony + Creative Mala Workshop in Baar with Beatrice Peter & Rachel Sundström
Friday, 3rd February 2023
14:00 to 20:00
Hosted by: beayogi, Haldenstrasse 5 (Eingang H14), 6340 Baar
Create your heart mala, your powerful companion.
We will get in the mood with a heart-opening cocoa ceremony, guided by Beatrice. Connected to your heart, you will then choose the special materials for your mala and create your heart mala under the mindful guidance of Rachel from MALATOPIA.
The Cacao Ceremony is a shamanic ritual and has its roots with the Mayans and Incas. The ceremony has a heart-opening effect and has the power to help us achieve clarity and self-determination, to release inner blockages and to bring us into a state of harmony.
The mala is so much more than just a beautiful piece of jewellery. A mala is a meditation tool that has been worn by yogis, Hindus and Buddhists for thousands of years. It supports you on your spiritual path and helps you manifest your goals. The term mālā is Sanskrit and means "meditation wreath." Mala necklaces are traditionally made from special materials and are used to support japa meditation. In this form of meditation, a specific mantra or affirmation is spoken aloud and repeated over and over again. The mala serves as a counting aid and the resulting energy is "stored" directly in the chain. In this way, the mala also reminds us of "our" rosary.
Energy balancing:
CHF 280.-
Includes the cacao ceremony and all the materials for your mala made from sandalwood or rudraksha, 20 gemstone beads, 24 sterling silver or gold vermeil spacers made and a tassel.
Catering:
For physical refreshment in between we will make a small buffet, everyone brings a plate of something.
We will provide tea and coffee.
Looking forward to seeing you!
From heart to heart
Rachel and Bea

FEMININE GLOW RETREAT
23rd to 29th May 2023
Casa Fuzetta - Olhão // Algarve // Portugal
Yoga Teachers: Daniela Israel & Delia Sauer
Mala Workshop: Rachel Sundström
This is a unique 7 days all inclusive experience and it's designed to nourish and transform your beautiful female body, mind and soul. Fulfil your heart with this special energy created in a safe space at one of the most exclusive locations in the Algarve. Fall in love with yourself, relax and re-balance while we take care of everything. Splash in the pool and soak up the magical sun. Enjoy delicious and hormone balancing food. Lighten your shoulders, breathe close to the mediterranean seafront, explore the beach and just be you. We can't wait to welcome you here to our favourite place. All Levels are welcome, just come as you are and get back your feminine glow!
Casa Fuzetta is a place like no other. Opening the door makes you feel like stepping into a different world. It's a historic townhouse located in the heart of the old fishing town Olhão. Travel and Leisure has listed Casa Fuzetta on their top 10 best yoga retreats worldwide for two years in a row.
It has been lovingly and passionately restored between 2014 - 2016, keeping it's original, ancient charm combined with modern comfort including a spectacular saltwater rooftop pool which can be heated if needed.
Each bedroom has a large ensuite bathroom. It includes 100% cotton bed linen,100% cotton bath towels, hammam towels, umbrellas, handmade local baskets for the beach trip, AC or underfloor heating if needed (we don't think so), hairdryer and our absolute favourite: LaEva gold standard organic units of well-being (wash, lotion, shampoo & conditioner and we recommend using it, its amazing!)
The beautiful harbour is only 5 minutes walk away. The stunning beaches of the offshore islands can be reached within a few minutes by water cab.
YOGA
We will have two yoga sessions a day and start with a guided sunrise meditation on the rooftop terrace or inside the classical meditation room.
The morning yoga class will hold a mindful mix of feminine and traditional Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga to bring you back to balance and recharge your energy. We will carefully flow our way from the first class to the last morning.
In the evening we will slow down with Yin and Restorative Yoga, to come back to ourselves. Yoga Nidra will prepare you for a good night's sleep. The last evening will hold a surprise, which I am sure you will like. Daniela and Delia will always support you in every class.
FOOD
Yogi practice can make you pretty hungry so we will spoil you with three delicious and healthy meals daily.
An abundant breakfast after the energising morning practice, a nourishing lunch and an exclusive dinner after the relaxing evening practice. All meals are prepared with love by our private chef, full of nutrients and tailored to the retreat participants. We have created a special menu that supports your feminine energy and balances your hormones.
The dishes are mainly organic, plant based, gluten and dairy free or with these alternatives. Since I know (having/had multiple intolerances) how challenging it can be to find a suitable retreat, there will be options for low histamine and low fructose as well. If you have any certain allergies or special dietary (vegan etc.) please let us, know we got you covered.
Water, tea, snacks and coffee are all inclusive.
WORKSHOP: HAPPY MIND FLOW
We are holistic human beings and we will learn how to flow our mind to a happy and healthy state. Only a few minutes a day can make a huge difference. Begin a new way of life full of joy and happiness. Proven tradition meets the latest science.
WORKSHOP: CREATIVE MALA WORKSHOP
Rachel will guide you through each step of the sacred mala making process using mindfulness and positive intentions. Learn how to create you own personal mala bead necklace to use for your meditation practice or to wear as a beautiful reminder of the Feminine Glow Retreat. The mala will be a base of Rudraksha or Sandalwood beads with the option of adding up to 20 crystal gemstone beads and a cactus silk tassel. You can choose to create the mala yourself or receive a ready made mala as a welcome gift.
