The spirit of Cacao opens and connects the heart space. In this space, we meet for a gentle journey guided by the soundscapes of guitar and gong. Sharing intention, we collectively drink the cacao prepared from exquisite beans grown in Ecuador and traditionally processed by hand. This high-quality cacao assists in the journey as we lie back into a relaxed and comfortable position. Cacao and sound weave together as a guide on this meditative journey inward. There is no prior knowledge required, bring an open heart and a personal intention.
