About this Event
This is a Curanderismo Ceremony with Sacred Cacao where we will respectfully honor the Spirit of the Sacred Cacao in the traditional ways from the Yucatan Peninsula. Cacao has been used in our Curanderismo tradition to open our hearts to love and for spiritual healing. During this ceremony we drink Sacred Cacao to welcome our ancestors and invite ancestral healing. Ceremony will close with a soothing sound session. Everyone who is respectful and with an open heart can participate in this ceremony of love. You can have your own spiritual beliefs, or religion as long as you are respectful of our ways. We do the cacao ceremony in our traditional way, which is Mexican Shamanism or Curanderismo.
What you MAY EXPERIENCE during this session:
- Healing of emotional wounds, grief and traumas stored in your ancestral memories.
