My Offerings

Cacao Ritual

Mama Cacao is a powerful plant medicine that originates from Central and South America. The Mayas and Aztecs honoured it as brown gold, sitting in ceremonies of connection and gratitude with this sacred plant. Cacao was especially cherished in marriage and union rituals, where it was used to celebrate love, harmony, and divine connection. It was praised for its ability to open the heart chakra and support access to ancestral guidance.

With its heart-opening effect and gentle, grounding energy, Cacao allows us to access deeper layers of our consciousness and release what stands in the way of our clarity.

It releases endorphins in the body, and through theobromine — a natural compound in cacao — we’re able to feel uplifted, connected, and gain clarity from a higher perspective.
This also makes it a beautiful plant spirit to mindfully celebrate big changes or achievements in our lives.

My story with Cacao began at the exact plot twist of my life — the starting point of my self-love journey.
In 2022, I decided to get off the pill and stop dating.

Looking back, I realize Cacao showed me — for the very first time — what real love truly means:
That I carry it within myself, in my heart, at all times. Cacao helped me release pain that was buried and supported me in bringing out parts of myself I was once afraid to show. It had such a huge impact on my life - that I decided to learn more about it, how to honour it and guide people through ceremony with it.

Every ritual is guided very intuitively. We start with a conversation about your past and what has been going on in your life—reflecting and unraveling. When we feel we have gained some clarity on what you want to release, celebrate, or change, we drink the medicine. Then, you will be guided by me into gentle breathing and a meditation that is uniquely channeled for you!

I hold you in a space of unconditional love, non-judgment, and divinity — which naturally allows emotions to arise, reveals what you need to see, and helps you view yourself in a new light, acknowledging all your efforts.

This process leads to deep personal growth by creating space for more joy, love, self-acceptance, and appreciation. You’ll tap into your inner wisdom and intuition, inspiring you to make more aligned choices.

You’ll begin to recognize patterns, gain clarity on what’s ready to shift, and deepen your connection to your needs, values, and truth.

This journey opens the door to authentic living, greater self-love, and a stronger, more loving relationship with yourself.

Cacao is known as the food of the gods — and it shows us what’s in the way of love. It has the power to balance our yin and yang energies within, and to expand our hearts — allowing us to share and receive more love.

Full Moon Circle

It’s literally proven scientifically that women who surround themselves with other like-minded women live longer. This is because we are regaining trust in each other and releasing the separation from the past. And because we are all uniquely amazing of courseeeee!

Every Full Moon brings its unique energy for self-development that we explore together through sharing, and reflecting, on the current topic.

We are taking time to truly celebrate ourselves and each other!

I'm preparing and guiding through journaling prompts, somatic practices, guided meditations and sharing rounds fitting to each topic.

Being in an unconditional loving space with women creates deep connection and validation. This helps to build self worth and dissolves feelings of isolation. Reflective practices help recognize patterns, limiting beliefs, or emotional triggers. This circle provides a safe space to rebuild trust, healing the feminine bond.Tapping into the lunar energy and sharing experiences often awakens a sense of inner feminine power and alignment.

This will leave you feeling empowered, inspired and lighter than before!

Retreats

This project — Ankaways — was born out of sisterhood and a deep desire to bring a feeling of wildness, freedom, and community to like-minded women.

In my first year in the Azores, I met Anna (@yogaviaanna) through destiny at a Workaway, and we ended up being roommates — twice.
Together, we lived life to the fullest. We empowered each other to the maximum, celebrating each other’s unique gifts and bodies so fully that we ended up doing naked gardening — feeling completely free, comfortable, and deeply connected to the Earth.

Out of this friendship, the idea was born to pass on this feeling of freedom, sisterhood, unconditional love, and a full celebration of life.

And that’s how we created ANKAWAYS —
where we host incredible retreats multiple times a year on beautiful islands all over the world, including (of course) the Azores, our magical home.

Everything we offer — ceremonies, dances, workshops, yoga classes — is designed to help you reconnect with yourself and your body, experience real support and sisterhood, and of course, have tons of fun and share joyful laughter together.

Ankaways isn’t just about creating experiences —
it’s about connecting beautiful souls, forming lifelong friendships, and discovering your soul family across the world.
