This is a heart-led Cacao Ceremony & Breathwork Journey — an intentional space to release what has been quietly held, and create room for what is ready to emerge.
A space to exhale.
To feel what hasn’t been felt.
To soften what has been held for too long.
The Full Moon is a time of illumination — gently bringing into awareness what may have been hidden, avoided, or carried in silence. In the rhythm of life, we often move forward without fully processing what we’ve lived through. This gathering offers a sacred pause to slow down, regulate your nervous system, and meet these experiences with presence.
Through a heart-opening Cacao Ceremony, guided Breathwork to support emotional release, gentle Somatic Practices, and a reflective Inner Exploration, you will be supported to safely explore and release what your system may be ready to let move — whether it is tension, emotion, patterns, or stories that no longer feel aligned.
This is not about forcing release.
It is about allowing… what is ready… to move.
Embrace the luminous energy of the Full Moon — a time of reflection, awareness, and gentle release.
A space to pause.
To breathe deeply.
To listen to what your body has been holding.
Often, what we call “holding on” is not a conscious choice — but a protective response. Emotions like anger, sadness, or grief may remain stored in the body, waiting for a moment where it feels safe enough to be felt.
This evening is not only about release.
It is about creating safety within yourself to allow release.
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” — Rumi
Under the light of the full moon, we gather to gently explore these barriers — to honour both our light and our shadows — and to release, in our own time and way, what no longer feels true.
Your breath is your guide.
A rhythm of holding and letting go.
Again and again.
Long before it became chocolate, Cacao was revered by ancient Mayan and Aztec cultures as a sacred plant medicine. Known as Theobroma Cacao or "Food of the Gods," this gentle yet powerful plant helps us open our hearts.
In our ceremony, we will mindfully sip a warm, pure, ceremonial-grade cacao elixir. Unlike commercial chocolate, it is minimally processed to retain its potent mood-enhancing compounds.
Cacao is known to:
This sacred ritual is the perfect gateway to drop from your head into your heart, preparing you for deeper self-connection and a gentle opening to what is alive within you .
Experience the transformative power of breath and presence in a calm, safe, and supportive space.
You may journey into:A single session can sometimes be enough to feel the significance of breathwork. Breathwork is experiential. No two sessions are alike. Each journey unfolds uniquely based on where you are in your life.
Nothing needs to be forced. All of it is welcome.
Limited spots available to maintain depth and intimacy. Reserve your space and step into a powerful evening of release, regulation, and reconnection.
A thoughtfully guided journey into release – beginning with ceremonial cacao to soften the heart, followed by inner exploration and immersive breathwork. A gentle unraveling of what has been held… and a return to yourself, lighter and more spacious.
A sacred doorway into our hearts, guided by the ancient wisdom of this gentle plant medicine, prepared with deep love and intention. Together, we create a space for cacao to awaken tenderness and open us to a deeper well of joy, connection, and truth.
Through a blend of somatic awareness, reflective inquiry, and ritual practices, we gently meet what we have been carrying within - stories, patterns and tensions that may have been waiting for our attention. An invitation to soften our grip and release what no longer feels aligned.
An immersive process that can open deeper emotional layers, bring insights, and create moments of profound calm. Through intentional breathing, you may experience movement where things felt stuck, clarity where there was confusion, and a deeper connection to yourself.
I recently attended a breath work session with Smylee.I am in the healing profession and was curious to understand what change this session would bring about, it turned out to be fantastic. The facilitator was energetic and super positive, loved the aroma oils and tarot cards as well :). It was very relaxing and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment with the group of people I was with, thanks Smylee for this awesome experience Thank you for helping me understand more about myself. It did create an incredible impact.
I must say the breathwork workshop was such a relaxing session. It felt like an inner detox. The workshop helped me think even more clearly, gain confidence, and be open to heal. After this workshop I realised how important it is to process our emotions & allow it to be as it is without putting any pressure on it. Thank youu for the lovely session Smylee. I hope you start taking like a weekly/ monthly course..
I thoroughly enjoyed the session. It was definitely very soothing and very relaxing to the point that I fell in deep sleep immediately after the breath work was completed. The spiritual connection was very alive and you were a great vessel ❤️ Thank you for helping me understand more about myself. It did create an incredible impact.
Got to experience breathwork with Smylee and it was an amazing experience. It was everything she promised it would be and much more. Being on a healing journey I'm aware of my traumas and what needs more work, so I'd come in expecting to release them stored traumas during breathwork.. but what I experienced was so much love and beauty that I cannot express with words. Which was truly transformative to me as my focus had been on my traumas that I failed to acknowledge the love, light and compassion that I'm capable of and filled with and this experience brought that out for me. And Smylee had a wonderful presence through the experience being there and making us feel hand held through out! Much thanks and grateful for facilitating this experience and I can't wait to have more sessions soon! 🌸
"Hi, this is Vineka. I recently attended the Breathwork workshop by Smyllee. A wonderfully curated workshop to know about the breathwork for amateurs too. It definitely reflects on longterm damages we did to ourself and we could instantly feel the effectiveness. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this workshop for everyone in the process of self love and healing!!! Thank you Smyllee akka!!!❤️🥳"
To be honest I didn’t know what to expect out of this session. I was just wanting to have a relaxed feeling in and out. The session gave me the exact same feeling. Loved the way you started the session with setting intentions and calling the ancestors and spirits for guiding us through this process. The way you made me comfortable and understood what kind of release and pain I was going through the session was noteworthy. Also the oils made me feel good and relaxed throughout the session. The way you made me go through my childhood using the inner child exercise made me understand how to bring back that child like innocence and take away some serious emotions that I was going through. After the session I felt like I had a deep cleanse in my system and felt amazing. I would highly recommend Smylee for her breath work sessions.
"Smylee's breathwork workshop was innovative and effective stress relief. Amazing experience.It made such a difference in my clarity and energy .Just spectacular!! Thankyou very much smylee"
I attended the breath workshop session led by Smylee, it was truly transformative! I learned practical breathing techniques that helped me reduce stress & increase focus. Smylee was fantastic, creating a supportive and calming environment. I felt so much more relaxed and centred afterward, and the Smylee guidance was top-notch. Highly recommended. Thanks Smylee.
"Cannot truly put down all the feelings and emotions I felt during the session. I came merely to show my support for you but I did not expect to experience what I did. It was self awakening and I can definitely say I've learnt to love myself a little bit more after your session. During the last part of the session, I traveled to places I didn't even know existed in my mind and it was a surreal experience. Thank you so much, Smylee. ❤️ You're amazing!"
Alchemy of peace - Breathwork workshop, was a magical experience true to its name. I love how you created a safe space where we could all just be ourselves . Intropection through fun activities was enjoyable. My most favourite part of the session was eye gazing with a partner. It helped us bring out the empathetic side of us. Needless to say about the breathwork , it was out of the world experience that can’t be described with words. Essential oils , rose petals , little altar with candles and madurai mallis made the experience all the more special. Looking forward for more such workshops from you ❤️
I stand as a witness to tell that restless ppl like me can also experience this calm to the point you never wanted the session to end. This is not about religion, it's about relaxing the mind and a free will to have a peaceful time of worship
Hi Smylee!Hope you reached home safely on time…Yesterday’s session was truly amazing…Really felt the calmness and peace…it will be great to follow it on a regular basis..You guided us so well.Thank you so much 😊✨
"The guided breathwork session was a profoundly transformative experience for me with each activity being powerful in its own way. Beginning with the guided mediation which anchored me back into my body, the reflective exercise that brought back some memories from childhood and new insights into them and finally the breathwork itself by the end of which I felt like had woken up from a deep state of rest. I had the embodied sensation that my whole being- the body and the energy had been cleansed and re-wired making me feel like a new me. It was phenomenal. Kudos to Smylee for being such a powerful facilitator. I hope to be a part of more such sessions in the future for deeper healing and rest. Thank you."
I came into the Guided Breathwork for Self Love workshop not really knowing what to expect. I recently moved to Chennai and was eager to find opportunities to connect with myself and explore more. Throughout the experience, I was able to get in touch with emotions that I wasn’t even aware of and find a positive and helpful way to release negative experiences and feelings from the past to embrace the current moment.
"Being a physical trainer myself, the breath work session was a very fresh and new experience to me. Prior to the session I was feeling mentally stressed however post I felt very light and fresh. Besides the technique thought, the way Smylee handled the class was great as she was very patient, open to answering my doubts and felt like she could empathise with not just me but the whole class. This was my first time but will definitely not be my last! I hope to attend as many sessions as I can in the future . P.S. Special mention to the Cacao drink we are given before the start😀"
"It was my first time doing a breathwork workshop and a cacao ceremony, and I wouldn't want to do it again with anyone but Smylee Nallalagu. Her workshop was so Calming, yet energetic and I felt a shift in me at the end of it. Smylee's energy was a THING to watch. She helps you set intentions powerfully, and guides you every step of the way through the process of breathwork🫂 There were times when I felt like things I had been avoiding were surfacing and it started getting very real, I felt tingling all over my face and some tiny convulsions in my hands, but Smylee was always around to help me ground, making me feel safe to feel things. I was able to hit the PAUSE I wanted for so long, in the comfort that Smylee creates in her workshop🙌 10/10, 5 stars to her, for helping me release the pain I held on so hard to, for so long. DEFINITELY coming back here, and Can't wait to experience her MAGIK again✨"
"I came in for the session with a very anxious mind. I did not know what to expect but at the same time I had so much on my mind. But as soon as we stepped in to the studio, a sense of calm filled me. Right from the altar, ensuring a correct temperature throughout the session, the yummy cacao and personal attention to one and all - it was an experience that will stay with me for quite some time now."
"I loved the cacao ceremony and breathwork session. It was a very first experience for me. I had no idea about the session and came with zero expectations, just to experience it. I felt positive throughout my body by the end. The 45 minutes breathwork was amazing. Those let-gos and manifestations really helped me. Thank you so much for this wonderful session. Looking forward for more 😄"
i attended the full moon ceremony by Smylee it was my first time experience, it was so beautiful yet personal journey kind of experience. After the session i felt so alive energetic never felt like it was two hours if i get a chance i will go for it sometime again ☺️☺️
‘ It was my first session with Smylee but as soon as she entered the room it was as though she is my friend and well wisher. Her energy is very calming and positive and it radiates into the room as well. The cacao experience was something very new and the process of collectively blessing it, especially on a strong full moon, really amplified how positive I felt by the end of it. ‘
What a way to end the year! Thank you for the amazing and deep session. I felt very connected to my spirit guides. There was also so much undoing and letting go of energies that were pinning me down... you have the gift to hold space for others in such a beautiful way ❣️
I am so glad that I came across your Instagram page and decided to attend the cacao ceremony + breathwork session. For me it was trying out something new and I wasn’t expecting anything. But it completely changed my perspective. It was a very amazing experience. How the session started by completing the circle and everyone blessing everyone’s cacao drink (so yummy) and drinking the every sip of it with a positive affirmation has set the energy level of the room so high. From then on it was going all high and good and at the end of the session I could feel that stress has been released from the body and I was more happy than usual. Thankyou so much for spreading so much love around. Your hugs are the best.
The cacao ceremony is a sacred ritual that honors the heart and invites participants into a deepened state of self-connection and community. As we gather in a supportive space, the ceremonial-grade cacao, which serves as a powerful plant medicine renowned for its heart-opening properties, is consumed together.
