Cacao Ceremony with Jack at The Yoga Sanctuary
An Experience in Resonance
with Jack Howard & Vivian Zandkuijl
Wednesday, October 28 | 6–8 PM
The Yoga Sanctuary, Barboursville, WV
$85 | Limited to 12 participants
For one special evening, Jack Howard and Vivian Zandkuijl will join us at The Yoga Sanctuary for an intimate experience weaving together ceremonial cacao, Lucia Light, sound, touch, movement, and stillness.
This two-hour ceremony is an invitation into resonance: A sacred space to slow down, listen inward, connect with your body and senses, and discover new pathways into presence.
With 12 spaces available, the evening will be held as a small, intentional circle with room to receive the experience in your own way.
[BOOK THE CEREMONY]
The ceremony brings together practices and teachings Jack and Vivian have gathered through years of exploration, training, and work in different parts of the world.
Ceremonial cacao opens the evening and creates a warm, grounded beginning. From there, Lucia Light, sound, embodied practices, movement, touch, and periods of stillness are woven together into an immersive sensory experience.
Rather than following a single method, the evening offers different doorways into awareness and connection: With your body, your senses, your inner landscape, and the present moment.
There is space to explore. Space to receive. Space to listen.
And perhaps most importantly, space to experience what becomes available when we give ourselves time to be fully here.

Abdominal Healing & Embodied Bodywork with Vivian Zandkuijl
Vivian offers a powerful hands-on approach centered around the abdomen, an area deeply connected with digestion, the nervous system, emotion, and our felt sense of safety and vitality.
Drawing from functional medicine principles, Chi Nei Tsang, Mayan abdominal therapy, and her broader work with trauma release and nervous system regulation, Vivian works directly with the abdomen, organs, lymphatic system, and surrounding tissues.
Her sessions support greater ease and flow within the body while inviting awareness of patterns of tension and holding that may have accumulated over time.
You may experience the work as physical, emotional, or deeply restorative. Each session meets you where you are and creates space for greater connection with your body from within.
About Vivian Zandkuijl: Vivian is a holistic therapist specializing in abdominal healing, trauma release, nutrition, and embodied expression.
Drawing from extensive global training and deep intuitive work, she supports people in reconnecting with their bodies and exploring the roots of physical and emotional imbalance.
Her work integrates bodywork, nervous system regulation, nutrition and psychosomatic healing through private sessions, programs, retreats and ceremonies.
At the heart of Vivian’s work is a desire to restore greater flow within the body while supporting organ health, emotional balance, vitality and a deeper relationship with ourselves.

Cacao, Lucia Light & Sound Healing with Jack Howard
Private sessions with Jack weave together ceremonial cacao, Lucia Light, and sound to create an immersive experience of rest, presence, and inward connection.
The session begins with cacao, offering a grounded and intentional way to arrive in the body and settle into the experience. From there, Lucia Light and sound are layered together to support relaxation, sensory awareness and a deeper inward focus.
Experienced with the eyes closed, Lucia Light creates changing patterns of light and color that can feel meditative, spacious, and deeply absorbing. Sound becomes another layer of the experience, helping create a container for stillness, reflection and integration.
Because this is a one-on-one session, the pacing and experience can be shaped around you, allowing time to receive, notice and follow what arises naturally.
This is a beautiful option for anyone drawn to meditation, expanded sensory experience, deep rest or simply the opportunity to step away from the usual pace of life and spend intentional time listening inward.
About Jack Howard: Jack’s work grew from his own long search for meaning, healing, and spiritual connection.
After many years in the technology world, a series of life experiences gradually drew him toward practices that engaged a very different part of himself. He trained in Reiki and reflexology, became immersed in ceremonial Cacao, studied Shamanic Energy Medicine with The Four Winds Society and The Jaguar Path, trained in breathwork with David Elliott, and completed sound healing training through The Sound Healers Academy.
Over time, these practices began to weave together into the work he now shares.
Cacao sits at the heart of much of Jack’s approach, often paired with sound, breath, energy work, and sensory experiences. His sessions and ceremonies are designed as invitations into presence, connection and deeper listening, creating space for each person’s experience to unfold in its own way.
Jack currently travels throughout the country and internationally, sharing his work through private sessions, ceremonies, retreats, festivals and collaborations with yoga and wellness communities.

The Yoga Sanctuary • 947 Main Street - Barboursville, WV
I’m delighted to welcome Jack and Vivian to The Yoga Sanctuary. Their visit allows us to experience practices we don’t often have access to locally, both within the shared container of Wednesday evening’s ceremony and through more individualized private sessions.
One of the things I value most about the Sanctuary is being able to bring together thoughtful, embodied experiences that invite curiosity, connection, and deeper presence. I’m looking forward to sharing this one with you.
