With Dr. Manijeh Motaghy & Randy Shultz
Join Perfectly Here for a sacred evening of healing, connection, and renewal under the luminous full moon.
This transformative event blends three soul-nourishing practices: a heart-opening cacao ceremony, a deeply calming sound bath led by Randy Shultz, and reflective mindful poetry shared by Dr. Manijeh Motaghy.
Held in a peaceful Los Angeles setting, this Full Moon gathering offers a powerful space to relax your nervous system, let go of emotional burdens, and realign with nature’s rhythms.
The cacao ritual gently opens the heart, preparing you for sound healing vibrations and poetic reflection that invite inner stillness and joy.
Whether you’re seeking emotional clarity, spiritual healing, or simply a pause from daily stress, this unique wellness experience will leave you feeling grounded, inspired, and connected to yourself, the moon, and your community.
Celebrate the full moon with presence, poetry, and the sacred medicine of cacao.

Overview
This Mindfulness and Joy Day Retreat offers opportunities to reset your mind, cultivate joy, and empower the best you.
Spending a day to rejuvenate, relax, and reconnect with the present moment and the joy of being is always an investment that will keep on giving.
Mindfulness and Joy, Grounding in The Body:
As the day progresses, the burdens of the ever-thinking mind ease up, and you will experience a level of peace. You will practice connecting with sensations in your body and learn how to become present at any time and during any circumstance.
We will participate in joyful practices to release the suffering of the world and feel joy and mindfulness. We can become free.
Self-Care
The Mindfulness and Joy Retreat offers gentle practices that help you relax, rejuvenate, and cultivate your attention toward happiness. We practice quietly throughout the day and during lunch to provide space for participants to go inward and enjoy not having an obligation to respond. It is often loved by participants who have never even imagined themselves being quiet and at ease amongst others.
Format:
We do a series of sitting and walking meditations, mindful eating, relaxing and reflecting, walks in nature, and a beautiful pond to sit by and listen to the sounds of the waterfall.
Food:
We offer simple foods like a pot of vegetarian soup, bread, cheese, tea, coffee, and water. You are welcome to bring food or snacks for yourself and or to share with other retreatants. People have traditionally done so, and it’s a lovely community-sharing experience.
Q & A:
There will be time for questions after each wisdom talk or guidance.
Fees:
We offer scholarships to help those with financial difficulties.
