Cacao In Motion: A Rhythm & Sound Sanctuary

Step into the new year with curiosity, creativity and connection as Flourish transforms into a soulful sanctuary for an evening of movement, ritual, sound and communal presence.

Join Laura Yates of The Hummingbird Life and Wil Kolen from Soul Oasis, in a collaborative setting with heart-opening Movement & Cacao Ceremony, leading into a deeply relaxing Sound Meditation. An invitation to slow down, soften, reflect and come home to yourself.

Laura will initiate the evening, through her experience and heart-warming guidance to naturally connect you with the essence and emotional grounding of ceremonial cacao. Laura’s unique guidance creates a safe, uplifting space through intentional gentle movement. Reconnect with your inner world and open up for new insights and connections.

Supporting Laura’s slow flowing movement is Wil’s live rhythmic soundscape that weaves subtly through the ceremony—an intimate sound experience stimulating your movement to restore balance, elevate emotional resonance and support deep energetic alignment.

This heart-opening experience will then set the stage for a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating Sound Meditation.

A journey through a virtually endless soundscape of various sounds and gentle rhythms that will create a sense of deep calm, clarity and lightness while re-balancing your mental-emotional and physical state.

Together, this trio of artistry—movement, cacao and sound—creates a truly one-of-a-kind event at Flourish, Jill Murdoch’s living studio: a beautifully curated space where creativity, community and conscious living meet.

What is Flourish

Flourish is both a platform and space - where brands, communities and people come together to connect, collaborate and thrive. At the heart of the Flourish story is a deep commitment to individual and collective well-being. Everything we do is guided by this belief: from curating brands that enrich lives in meaningful ways, to presenting considered collections of luxe décor and art that transform homes and workspaces, to hosting pop-ups that champion artisan communities and like-minded partner brands who share our values.

Building on what began in 2024–25, 2026 sees Flourish continuing to evolve this vision. Flourish & Friends is a carefully curated series of intimate events that bring together unexpected combinations of brands, creatives and expertise. Held just a few times a year in the ever evolving Flourish studio, these gatherings are intentionally small, thoughtfully designed, and rich in experience—inviting curiosity, sparking creativity and fostering genuine connection.

Curated. Collaborative. Designed to help us all flourish.
