About this Event

Cacao Nidra: A Journey Into Deep Rest & Inner Awakening
Cacao Nidra combines the heart-opening properties of ceremonial cacao with the profound relaxation of Yoga Nidra to guide you into a state of restorative stillness.
As you sip warm cacao, your nervous system softens, your mind quiets, and your heart becomes more receptive. Then, through a guided Yoga Nidra meditation, you enter a deeply relaxed state where the body rests, the mind unwinds, and the subconscious becomes open for healing, insight, and emotional reset.

This experience is perfect for anyone needing grounding, clarity, or nervous system restoration.
Cacao Nidra helps release stress, calm mental chatter, and reconnect you to your inner wisdom—leaving you feeling peaceful, renewed, and energetically aligned.
This is not a yoga class or a form of physical exercise—it’s a guided inner journey into stillness, restoration, and deep self-awareness.

4 spots $75 each




Health & Safety Considerations

Cacao is a gentle plant medicine, but like any food or beverage, it may not be suitable for everyone in large amounts. If you have any concerns, please check in with the facilitator before the ceremony.

Heart & Circulatory Health: Cacao is a natural stimulant and can gently increase heart rate and circulation. If you have a heart condition or very low/high blood pressure, consider having a smaller serving.

Medications & Sensitivities: If you take Medic*tion for mood regulation (such as SSRIs or MAO inhibitors), have sensitivity to caffeine/stimulants, or experience migraines triggered by chocolate, a lighter dose may be ideal.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Cacao is generally safe in moderation, but due to its stimulating properties, those who are pregnant or nursing may choose to consume a smaller amount or simply participate without drinking cacao.

Dietary Considerations: Drinking cacao on an empty stomach may feel intense for some. Having a light meal beforehand and staying hydrated before and after the ceremony can help prevent headaches or lightheadedness.

This is a supportive and flexible experience—if you feel called to drink a little less cacao or simply be present for the ceremony, that is always an option.
