Join us as we honor the Summer Solstice and ignite and nourish the light within with these sacred plant medicines.About this Event
The Summer Solstice Hapé and Cacao Ceremony invites you to ignite and nourish the light within in a deeply intimate and transformative way. This sacred and spiritual ceremony will provide a nurturing space for you to awaken and embrace your connection to self and spirit.
Through the ritualistic use of Hapé, you are guided to release emotional blockages and negative patterns, creating space for healing and growth. Paired with ceremonial-grade cacao, known for its heart-opening properties, the ceremony fosters a sense of intimacy and connection, both with yourself and with others in the sacred circle. As you journey inward through guided meditation and reflective practices, you discover a profound sense of renewal, leaving behind what no longer serves you and stepping into a fresh, empowered perspective on life. This intimate gathering offers you an opportunity for deep healing, personal transformation, and a rekindling of your inner spark of joy and vitality.
WHAT IS CEREMONIAL CACAO? Cacao in its raw form of chocolate. It is a psychoactive superfood that has been used in ceremonies as a plant medicine as far back as the Mayan and Aztec traditions. It is known as a heart-opening medicine helping us to dive deeper into our psyche, assisting us to gain better insights and understanding of our thoughts and feelings, and supporting inner healing.
WHAT IS HAPÉ? Hapé (pronounced ha-pe), also known as hapé or rapé, is a sacred tobacco plant used by indigenous healers in the Amazon rainforest for thousands of years Hapé is blown into the nose, it enters the respiratory system and quickly absorbs into the bloodstream. The active compounds in the plants interact with the body and mind, producing a range of effects. Hapé has grounding and centering properties, as well as the ability to clear and open the energetic channels in the body. It is also thought to stimulate the release of endorphins and activate the pineal gland, facilitating altered states of consciousness.
