This retreat has been exactly what I needed. It been so long since someone cooked for me, gave me so many hugs, loved me and gave me space to be with myself. I have learnt that cacao is the most amazing medicine, I have learnt about my human design in more detail and it offered me insight into to emotional struggles. I have been craving spaces like this for a while - a retreat just for me - to rest, feel myself and nourish myself. I am so grateful to Chelsea and Lundy for their love, kindness and holding space.

A safe space full of love, laughter, kindness, empathy, encouragement and vulnerability . A place of healing and self discovery. Best experience I have done for myself!

I loved being a part of a journey with women, who accepted me as I was, supported me, and made me realise I am not alone. I loved finding kindred spirits with some really amazing women. I plan to do many more of these!

Lunds and Chelsea held a very supportive and intimate space which was for me the difference between fully stepping into myself or holding back. They both brought their own special energy and talents to the group that complimented each other and made for . A wonderful weekend that really allowed for a healing experience.

My intentions for the retreat were to find myself and connect with other women, that and so much more. I was nervous to commit to this but that was the best decision I made for myself! It was a profound experience yet simple and relaxed. The immediate connection I felt with all of the ladies as well as the connection with Chels and Lunds was incredible.

You provided me the space and safe circle to confront important questions and have the introspection that I needed. It got more confusing with the cards that brought out more questions than answers! I did feel I needed to look inside for the answers and to tell myself that I was enough! I care for people and always want to see the best in everyone. Yet I only saw my dark side, and told myself I was not worth any love. All the cards pointed out to my self worth and my caring nature. I am a nurturer by design, strong empath and resilient. Being able to admit that to was difficult but seeing and accepting it for the first time was a victory. Understanding I have been my own biggest critic was sad, but I needed to experience this to be able to be set free. The journey begins to love myself, to put me first now and be intentional about it. I love the woman I see in the mirror and I feel others can see her now too!  Thank you Lunds and Chels for the experience and care! I love and appreciate you, and all the support you have given me to embark on my discovery journey. Your task is not an easy one, but the selfless acts you give to allow us to shine are incredible. Thank you for sharing your light with the rest of us. Thank you for these platforms to connect and share, and help us grow. We became beacons for each other in the whole journey through your guidance and care. It's a special gift to have and I appreciate you sharing it with all of us.

The space created by Chels and Lunds for self-discovery and inner work is nothing short of extraordinary. I highly encourage anyone to take the time for yourself and get on retreat with them - you won't regret it. Thanks to the two of you for bringing to life Awakened Roots retreats.

Attending the half-day Heart Retreat with Lunds and Chels was a much needed and beautiful experience that gently brought me back to myself. It illuminated parts of my heart I thought I had healed but was still quietly carrying. The space and support offered by Lunds and Chels, offered deep clarity, compassion, and a renewed sense of inner connection. I’m deeply grateful for the insight and peace they gave me.

I took part in the Ruwa retreat recently with my daughter. It was a beautiful experience and I found each practice rewarding in its own way. I felt supported and seen throughout and loved meeting new people and sharing with them. It was a sensitive and caring experience and I would highly recommend attending the upcoming retreats and look forward to doing so too.

I have attended a number of different ceremonies around the world and I was overwhelmed with the integrity and depth of Chelsea and Lunds, our facilitators. I felt very supported throughout the morning. The sensory meditation was extraordinary! I also really enjoyed journaling! Thank you Mama Cacao for welcoming me into your circle and opening my heart.
