About this Event
In this workshop we will receive the medicine of ceremonial cacao in observation of the Mayan Lunar calendar or Cholq’ij. In attunement with this living calendar, we are connected to the energies of 3 Ix, an energy which calls forth the wisdom of Earth’s sacred altars and Divine Feminine. Together we will assemble a communal altar with natural materials in a group meditation as an offering to Mother Earth. We will then journey- guided by the vibration of Earth’s heartbeat, the drum, as we connect to the medicine of our inner universe.
Coming together in ceremony is an ancient tradition which weaves, intention, togetherness, cosmological alignment, and deeper resonance, presenting opportunities for authentic engagement and healing through the wisdom of ancestral practices and human spirituality.
Cacao is a medicine held sacred by the Maya whose connection to this plant spans over 5,000 years, during which time, they have cultivated a relationship with Cacao, that is highly intentional and deeply profound. They receive her as a gift brought forth from another dimension, we receive this medicine in recognition of and reverence to the Mayan Cosmology, Community, and Culture. Maltyox.
