Sacred Cacao & Ho’oponopono Ceremony
We will drink sacred cacao from the Virunga Region. The Virunga mountain range mainly consists of volcanoes and runs through the national territories of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its volcanic soils are particularly rich in nutrients and the local ecosystem is one of the most diverse in the world. Virunga is best known for its mountain gorillas, which migrate through the dense jungle on the ridges of the still-active volcanoes. This cacao will build the foundation for the next step within the ceremony: The Icaro.
-
An Icaro is a healing song. There are a variety of songs each with its own unique purpose associated with a different kind of healing from a particular plant in the jungle.
The sound of an Icaro is like no other, sung in the native language of the culture using words loaded with healing intentions.
They can be used to cleanse energetic fields, to offer specific insight into a situation, to remove dark matter and more. Many Icaros are learned in solitude, by ingesting the same plant each day for a period of time, to learn its particular song and the wisdom that this plant has to offer. After we listened to the Icaro we’ll dive into the Ho’oponopono.
-
Ho’oponopono is a little known but extremely powerful self-transformation technique. Ho’oponopono originated from Hawaii and was originally taught by Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona. Morrnah was a healer and in 1983 she received a great honor by being designated as a living treasure of Hawaii. She was teaching Ho’oponopono to groups of people, hospitals, colleges and even to United Nations personnel. Morrnah updated Ho’oponopono in a way that healing and transformation process no longer required presence of any other person but the practitioner himself.
You’ll learn how Ho’oponopono works and methods for integrating into your life.
-
During the ceremony we will make physical movements to give space to the stimulated flow of energy in our body.
-
At the end of the ceremony we will listen to a few words from the late Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Thiền Buddhist monk, peace activist, prolific author, poet, teacher and founder of the Plum Village Tradition. Known as the "father of mindfulness, Nhất Hạnh was a major influence on Western practices of Buddhism.

Conscious Whale Watching Tour
Many small colonies of pilot whales and dolphins live between Tenerife and La Gomera. We will approach the whales in a small boat with a maximum of 9 people. During the encounter we won't take photos, use phones or speak allowing the tour to take place in complete meditative silence. This conscious encounter let us feel and experience a deep connection with the animals and natural elements. Animals communicate with us humans in a very special, unique way and we will feel their energy, vibrations and sounds.
Teide National
Park Hiking
We will take a beautiful sunset hike at the Teide National Park, one of Tenerife's most beautiful and magical landscapes. Here we will see the exceptional rock formations Roques de García. Their vertical shapes seem to guard the true star of the region, Mount Teide, the largest volcano in Spain and the third-tallest in the world and to the right the majestic Mount Teide standing at 3,712 metres. These unique rock formations have been created by millions of years of erosion that split the large Las Cañadas volcanic caldera into two craters (or volcanic chimneys). To the left is Pico Viejo, with an elevation of 3,155 metres;
-
The Teide National Park has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007, a must-see stop when visiting the island. The surrounding area is breathtaking.
Over time, the most famous rock formations in Tenerife have absorbed various volcanic materials that seem to have belonged to an immense ancient volcano that existed prior to Mount Teide.
Their strange appearance has inspired Volcanologists continue to search for an explanation as to their origin. Their reddish colour gives the landscape a golden hue, reminiscent of a science fiction film. Colonising this world of lava is interesting endemic plant species and the peculiar blue Gallot’s lizards.
Sound Healing Event
We all experience sound on intimate levels whether it is listening to our favourite music, the gentle sounds of nature, our immediate environment or the spoken words we use everyday. The sounds we allow into our personal space often determine the mental and emotional states we inhabit.
In a world full of noisy distractions it’s important to tune into more tranquil vibrations to feed a healthier mind.
