About this Event
Agape love is love at the highest level ; A love that is unconditional, not swayed by time or circumstances. With this love internal boundaries vanish and we truly love ourselves as we love others. This is the meaning of loving another as yourself – transcending our phenomenal borders and experiencing ourselves in one another, and the other within, not apart from us.
Friday, February 14 you are invited to come receive love, love yourself UP, and share the highest vibration of love with others, our community, the earth, and all existence.

We will open our hearts to this universal and self-love with the delicious sacred elixir of cacao.
Cacao (the pure base of chocolate), known as “the elixir of the Gods”, is a powerful and sacred plant medicine that has been used ceremonially for thousands of years across Central and South America.
We will open the ceremony with prayers by a guest Colombian Medicine Man, Alejandro Sanzon.
We pay our respects to the ancient while creating a ritual form entirely our own, featuring beautiful live medicine music by Giselle World, Jesus Hidalgo, Teresa De Jesus, Daniela Riojas, featuring Michael Gil, Michel Gonzalez, Marcelo Rosauro, Ali Kartalsuna, and other special guests, with communal sharing to support us in rising together in love and gratitude.
Come gather in community, sing and dance your hearts open, warm your bellies, and be ignited in love.
