About this Event
Cacao Ceremony & Deep rest is a journey on the path of contemplation. My favorite states to exist in are made of liminal spaces where all things are possible through presence. In order to reach them, the body must be at ease, the mind needs to feel limitless, and the heart must remember the rhythm of its own expansive nature. The path of contemplation exists between the path of meditation (right brain) and the path of concentration (left brain). It is the middle way of the corpus callosum that unites duality. To walk the path of contemplation is to release into relaxation, to remain open hearted, and to trust the wonder and joy of the beginner’s mind.
Join me on a journey of contemplation that will individually, and collectively nourish the heart. Comfort will be the key to allowing you to activate your parasympathetic nervous system, and the body’s miraculous ability to rest and heal. Wear comfortable clothes, bring pillows, your favorite notebook and pen, water bottle, blankets and anything else that feels wonderfully supportive to you. Mats, bolsters, and blankets will already be laid out for your arrival.
I have been journeying with this beautiful, Peruvian cacao for over 4 years now. It is organic, not roasted, very grounding, and a gentle but powerful heart opener. The cacao will contain organic plant milk (oat, or almond), organic coconut oil, Himalayan sea salt, organic vanilla, and organic honey. If you are currently on antidepressants, cacao is not recommended. Please, consult with your healthcare provider. If you would prefer to have ceremonial hawthorn tea instead, please, let me know. Hawthorn is a native to Scotland, is in the rose family, and it is a gorgeous and gentle heart opener.
I will be taking us on a journey with the shamanic drum, and it will shift energy within the body. Please hydrate after class and be super kind and gentle with yourself. As always, if there are questions that come up during our experience together, I will do my utmost to answer them.
With love,Sarah-Alexandra
