Join us for an intentional community gathering for self reflection, healing, heart activation, and spiritual nourishment during our incredible Cacao Ceremony led by Georgina, who was born and raised in Mexico and has grown up practicing this ceremony her whole life.
Cacao Ceremony is one of the oldest holistic practices used by many indigenous cultures from around the world to unify body, mind, heart & spirit. The act of using cacao drinks in rituals similar to cacao ceremonies goes as far back as the Aztecs and the Mayans. The Mayans, who often mixed the cacao with chile peppers, used warm cacao drinks during wedding ceremonies. The Aztecs, who drank the cacao cold, believed cacao to be a gift from the god Quetzalcoatl, and drank it to gain divine wisdom. Both the Aztec and Mayan cultures used cacao not just for religious rituals but for medicinal purposes as well.
Ceremonial Cacao (known as "The Food of the Gods") is revered as a highly vibrational sacred plant medicine that supports the re-balance of energies within us, restores good health, opens & expands the heart field to deepen authentic connection with others and ourselves.
When a group drinks Cacao together, they shift into a unified field and the Cacao medicine increases the energetic field of our hearts; as it's a cardiac stimulant. This journey initiates a release of negative energy and blockages, inspires intimate sharing and insight, transforms consciousness, and uplifts the frequency of the planet.
THE DETAILS
Every ceremony is different depending on the facilitator and participants. Our Cacao Ceremony includes music, dancing, yoga, meditation, visualization, conscious breathing, celebration, and of course the sipping of ceremonial cacao elixir.
Generally, participants experience mood elevation, increased vitality, enhanced intuition, empathy, clarity, ecstatic joy, transcendent bliss, and overall more presence.
Bring all the items you need to ensure you are prepared and comfortable. You can create a cozy spot for yourself… bring a blanket, pillow, eye pillow, journal, prayers, intentions, sacred objects (crystals, images, etc), and perhaps an offering for the altar.
Feel free to do your ceremony preparations (shower, anoint with essential oils, smudge with palo santo or sage, whatever inspires you!)
It is best to eat lightly and avoid caffeine on the day of the ceremony. Stay hydrated! Because of the detoxifying nature of Cacao, it’s a good idea to drink plenty of water during the ceremony and the day after. After the ceremony have a fabulous nourishing meal to ground yourself.
Is it safe? Cacao is safe to drink and its nourishing to your body. It is also a stimulant and increases blood flow to the heart. Those who are epileptic and have heart conditions should not partake in Cacao. If you are taking antidepressants or are pregnant a lesser brew can be created for you. Do let us know if you have any of these conditions prior to arrival so arrangements can be made.
Anyone is welcome to share in the joy of this magical container even if you can’t or choose not to partake in the Cacao.
