About this Event
Join Kate Lawrence (Sage & Soul) for an evening filled with connection, intention, & healing using the heart opening plant medicine of cacao. We will discuss the energetics of cacao, it's history, and how we can use it to support our daily lives. Our discussion will be followed by a meditation & shamanic journey to connect ourselves with the benefits and gifts of the plant.
What is Cacao? Known as 'the food of the gods', cacao comes from the seeds of the Cacao tree, from which cocoa, cocoa butter, and chocolate are all derived. The seeds are ground up to create a paste or powder for consumption. The cacao we will be consuming is ceremonial grade and comes in the form of wafers which we will dissolve in hot water and then drink. It is full of antioxidants and contains many health benefits. It also contains the flavonoid theobromine as well as an endocannabinoid, anandamide, which has been known to boost mood and energy levels and is referred to as the 'bliss' molecule.
