About this Event
Marta and Simone welcome you to this sacred ceremony where we will gather in circle, drink ceremonial grade Cacao from Guatemala, activate our voices, enjoy live music all while we open ourselves to more love, compassion and inner wisdom.
The intention with this ceremony is to create deeper awareness and understanding of the indigenous cultures that have kept this tradition alive for many generations. Always being aware of its origins and culture. This ceremony is a safe space to help you connect deeper with the unconditional love that is within you.
"When working with cacao (and other sacred plants) instead of asking the medicine what it can do for us, let's ask ourselves what we can offer the medicine" words by Nana Marina, a wisdom keeper and member of the Tz'utujil community in Lake Atitlan, Sololá, Guatemala.
What is Ceremonial Cacao?
Cacao, also known as Food of the Gods, is a heart-opening medicine that allows us to connect deeper with our heart and inner wisdom.
This is a sacred plant medicine and it isn't a "hot chocolate". This isn't the type of chocolate you might have access to in the supermarket. It is carefully and ethically produced from indigenous communities in the Mayan Lands of Guatemala.
What is Sound Healing?
Sound has been used for thousands of years in various cultures around the world as a tool for healing. Sound healing uses sound frequencies, resonance and vibration therapeutically, to balance a person holistically in order to create harmony and wellbeing. The application of sound can be manifested through toning, singing, mantras and the use of a variety of instruments like tuning forks, drums, chimes, singing bowls and gongs and more.
