An Embodied Workshop in Altar Crafting with Cacao & Rose with Nicole Jones & Kimiko Tao Fujimoto
An invitation to reconnect with the sacred and create a living relationship with ritual and your inner goldprint.
Join Nicole and Kimiko, ceremonialist and altar keepers for decades, for an embodied workshop exploring the fundamentals of altar crafting and the transformative art of working with the elements.
Together, we’ll explore how to create a personal altar and weave elemental wisdom into a daily ritual practice, whether you’re navigating life transitions, deepening your self-worth, or simply seeking a moment of connection and space.
Through personal stories, shared wisdom, and hands-on teachings, you’ll discover how ritual can become an anchor; a way to return to yourself, cultivate self-love, and create a deeper foundation of support for yourself, partnerships, and family.
Nicole will ground you in the presence of cacao, sharing from her daily cacao ritual and showing you how to prepare, connect with, and work with this plant medicine. Explore how a simple, intentional cacao practice can become a transformative touchstone in everyday life.
Kimiko will guide you through an elemental breathwork and meditation practice, weaving in the subtle wisdom of rose flower essence to support heart connection, presence, and self-nourishment.
This experience is designed to demystify altar crafting and give you the space to follow your intuition and inner guidance. You’ll learn how to choose, arrange, and work with meaningful objects, infusing your altar with intention, power, grace, and gratitude.
Your altar becomes more than a beautiful arrangement: it becomes a living reflection of your inner world, a place to return to, listen, pray, create, and remember what matters most.
Think of ritual as a vinyasa practice for the soul: just as we place the body and breath in a particular sequence, ritual invites us to arrange and work with the elements in an intentional order, creating space for meaning, connection, and transformation.
Whether you’re new to altar crafting, longing to rekindle your personal practice, ready to deepen your relationship with ritual, or simply wishing to gather in community, this is an invitation to tend to the sacred in everyday life.
