Mystic Heart Christmas Cacao Ceremony & Potluck

Mystic Heart Sacred Cacao Ceremony

Event Description:
This Christmas, please join us for a very special evening.. A multidimensional journey into the ecstatic and transformative power of cacao.  Using a euphoria-inducing, heart-opening, cathartic, love-drenched cacao elixir as the medium for the potent spiritual essence experienced throughout the ceremony.

A Cacao ceremony provides a perfect opportunity to take time away from our daily grind… to de-stress and reconnect. It is the perfect space to switch off from busy-ness and to journey into the sacred space within – opening ourselves to greater healing, balance, love, and spirituality. Whether you’re looking to shift an emotional blockage, let go of the past, gain clarity for your life path, or you simply need to lift your spirits, these ceremonies can provide the ideal experience.

In our Sacred Cacao Ceremonies we use pure rainforest grown cacao as a ceremonial medicine to assist in opening the heart and spirit. A strong medicinal Mayan-inspired brew of cacao, along with divinely inspired live music; blessed essential oils for chakra anointing, sound therapy, healing touch, energy transmissions, movement, and meditation to create a uniquely profound ceremonial experience.

The ceremony offering will be bilingual and will also be accompanied by musical masters Yehonatan Gaucher and Camilo Poltronieri.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to invite your friends and family.

***We will follow the ceremony with a community potluck celebration dinner. Please bring a healthy dish to share.
