In a ceremony setting, we will all have an opportunity to set our own personal intention and also to share with the group. I will guide us all into a meditation where we can ground in to Mother Earth and set this intention from our heart. There will be a short talk on the origins of cacao before the meditation where any questions may be asked. After we drink the cacao ( 100% organic with cashew milk, maple syrup sweetened) we will open up community circle to share our hearts with one another. Afterwards we will do a short somatic dance exercise to integrate all the wisdom coming through into the body. We will end the ceremony with another short grounding meditation.

Date: Sunday, July 28th 7:00-9:00pm

What to bring: Mug, a reusable vessel of water and something for the altar

Essentially, cacao is chocolate in its purest form. It grows on trees in pods and once opened you separate the fruit from the beans. The beans are then fermented and sun-dried to make ceremonial grade cacao. Cacao has been used for thousands of years in Aztec and Mayan cultures as a way to connect to ones heart, personal healing intention, and community. Cacao contains anandamide which is known as the “bliss molecule” and PEA which is know as the love chemical. It promotes feelings of euphoria, open heartedness, connection, love, and overall feel good. Cacao also boosts, dopamine and serotonin production. It is loaded with vitamins and minerals, and is also the highest source of magnesium.🌀
