Sacred cacao ceremony gives us time for ourselves in a hectic and stressful world. It is the perfect space to switch off the outside chaos and journey into silence. There we can become clearer of who we are, envision where we are going, and be guided to the opportunities available to us. The ceremony will open the heart and turn off the internal chatter of the mind, which makes it perfect for deep meditation and relaxation. In this altered state, we tune into the stillness where we can bear witness to ideas and truths that feel divine. The ceremonial setting allows the magic of the ancient chocolate plant, Cacao, to ignite your inner fire and feel a drive towards improving all aspects of your life. She (Cacao) is an ancient plant medicine, a wisdom keeper, a teacher, and a facilitator. It is the forgotten plant medicine that assists you on a journey into your heart. Cacao was known to the Ancient Mayans as a powerful heart opener and potent healer and is therefore the perfect medicine for these healing and transformational ceremonies. After we partake in the sacred chocolate drink together, open our hearts, and meditate, we will be bathed in the healing sounds and vibrations of the Himalayas and indigenous roots. You will leave feeling spiritually inspired, emotionally empowered and expansive….ready to live life the life that you are meant to live!Investment: $50
