Through guided ritual and intentional space-holding, you are invited to unplug from the noise of the external world and journey inward into stillness, presence and remembrance. Here, emotions, unconscious patterns and stored energies may rise to be witnessed, released and transformed with compassion. As you settle beneath blankets in a softly lit sanctuary, the vibrational waves of the gong will carry you into a deeply meditative state. The symphony of sound works through every layer of your being, allowing the nervous system to unravel, the mind to quieten and the body to surrender. You will emerge feeling lighter, clearer and recalibrated renewed in both heart and spirit.

About Ceremonial Cacao

• Ceremonial Cacao has been used for centuries in sacred ceremonies in Meso America.  The seed of ceremonial cacao is grown with special intention to be used in Ceremony. It was used for conflict resolution internally and in families making us more empathetic and have more open hearted conversations. 

• It has a beautiful heart opening medicine which also opens the portal between the heart and throat chakras.  It is a deeply healing plant medicine and can awaken so much joy and love increasing endorphins.  

• Cacao also is a slight stimulant and can have aphrodisiac effects and supports your connection and journey in meditation.  

• It is also a superfood for the mind stimulating your cognitive function helping you to destress, activating your para sympathetic nervous system into rest and digest allowing your creative juices to get flowing. 

• Cacao has high levels of flavanoids which enhances brain function and widens the bloods vessels which can lead to an increase in oxygen flow to the brain.  (Please note if you suffer low blood pressure, I will need to do a lighter dose for you) 

• The high concentration of antioxidants in cacao reduces oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, which protects critical neurons (which transmit info between the brain). Some of the antioxidants can also help with long-term memory and reduce the risk of disease and stroke. 

• Additionally, cacao contains important minerals like magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron, copper, and zinc which are all essential for brain health and function.
