Reclaim Your Terrain

A ceremony and workshop in circle

Signature workshop for retreats and teams

Every season of life asks us to cross a different kind of ground.

Reclaim Your Terrain is a three hour circle where your group pauses, looks at the ground beneath their feet, and leaves knowing why they are there and what to do next. We work with ceremonial cacao, breathwork, somatic movement and coaching, in the order the body understands.

Bring it to your group
What happens in the circle

Three hours, three movements

Arrive

I.

We open with ceremonial cacao, the heart opening medicine I learned to serve with a Muisca community in Colombia. Gentle breathwork and nervous system regulation help everyone land in their body and feel safe enough to look inward.

Explore

II.

We walk through the five terrains every person crosses in life. It is a playful metaphor, and it goes deep. Each person recognises the season they are in, the terrain they are passing through, and what this terrain is here to teach them. Smaller groups move through it with somatic movement, and larger groups travel it in waves of dance inspired by 5Rhythms.

Act

III.

We close in circle with somatic coaching. Each person names the lesson of their terrain and turns it into a simple plan they can act on, knowing they are there for a reason.

Why it works

From the body up

Reclaim Your Terrain follows the same order as all of my work. We begin in the body, so everyone can settle and feel safe. We open the heart, so the group can share honestly and connect. Only then do we bring in the mind, so the clarity people find becomes action they can carry home.

When the body, the heart and the mind tell the same story, decisions stop being hard work.

Paula De La Selva

8+ years holding cacao ceremonies
200+ ceremonies and somatic sessions
Certified somatic coach
Breathwork facilitator

I am a Life Strategist and somatic coach from Colombia, living on the west coast of the Algarve. For over eight years I have held cacao ceremonies and intentional spaces for connection across Europe.

I learned to serve cacao with a Muisca community in Colombia and lived three years in Guatemala, where I deepened my connection with cacao medicine by Lake Atitlán. Today I bring together ceremony, breath, movement and coaching so groups can come back to themselves and to each other.
