The Inner Temple Journey

  • Joy of Yoga 8918 Manchester Road Brentwood, MO, 63144 United States (map)

A Monthly Cacao, Breath, Astrology, Group Reiki & Sound Experience

The Inner Temple Journey is a monthly afternoon ceremonial gathering — a sacred pause in the middle of the day to return inward, attune to the wisdom of the cosmos, and restore harmony through ritual, breath, energy, and sound.

Each month, our journey is guided by the astrological sign of the season, offering a collective theme for reflection, embodiment, and healing. The zodiac becomes a living map — illuminating the emotional, energetic, and spiritual invitations present at this point in the lunar and solar cycle, and shaping the intention of our time together.

We begin with a heart-opening cacao ceremony, honoring cacao as a sacred plant ally and gentle teacher. Prepared with intention, ceremonial-grade cacao supports emotional openness, embodied presence, and connection — to yourself and to the shared circle.

From there, we move into the medicine of the breath. Through conscious, rhythmic breathwork, we awaken life force energy, release stored tension, and soften emotional holding. Breath becomes the bridge between body and spirit, guiding you toward clarity, vitality, and inner spaciousness.

During the breathwork journey, we will open the field to receive collective Reiki, offering universal life force energy to the group as a whole. This shared energetic field supports nervous system regulation, balance, and integration as breath gently guides the process.

Our journey concludes with healing sound, including crystal singing bowls, resonant vocal tones, and meditative vibrations. Sound gently integrates the afternoon’s work, helping insights and energetic shifts settle and anchor before you return to the rest of your day.

This gathering is open to all — whether you are new to ceremonial spaces or deeply familiar with energy work. Each month is unique, shaped by the astrology of the season and the energy of those present. You are held with care, respect, and attunement, so you may feel safe, supported, and deeply seen.
