About this Event
Cacao is a gentle and grounding sacred plant medicine that has been used for thousands of years by different ancient civilizations such as Mayans, Aztecs, and Toltecs.
During the ceremony, you’ll be guided into a heart-centered space through the energy of Cacao.
The circle starts with an introduction to ceremonial cacao and the Mayan calendar. Then, we drink a cup of cacao followed by a meditation & sound journey intentionally crafted to give you space for inner exploration. The ceremony ends with time for everyone to share their experience and socialize.
Schedule:
- Arrival, small introduction & intention setting
- Opening prayer & drinking cacao
- Conversation about Cacao & the Mayan Calendar
- Sound Journey
- Integration, sharing circle & social time
We hope to see you there!
