About the event
Rushna and Clare invite you to embark on a transformative journey, where you’ll be called to connect with the deep, sacred power of Mama Cacao, a revered plant medicine that has guided seekers for centuries.
In this space, you will be surrounded by a community circle united in a shared intention to all follow the whispers of your inner voice. Through the pulse of Shamanic drumming, sound, and meditation, we will invoke a powerful healing energy, designed to cleanse any stagnant, heavy vibrations and welcome the radiant light within. This sacred gathering of ceremony, connection, and your personal inner journey creates a potent alchemy, unlocking the path to healing.
We begin with a ceremonial offering of cacao, inviting you to open your heart in gratitude and listen to your inner voice. As the rhythmic beats of the shamanic drum guide your body and breath, we will guide you on a journey to connect deeper into the depths of your own wisdom which calls you to release what no longer serves you. You will receive powerful frequency medicine, hands-on healing, sacred oils, and moments of profound stillness to rejuvenate your spirit.
Here, there are no expectations. This is a sanctuary where you can release life’s burdens and surrender to divine flow. In this elevated state of consciousness, we will guide you towards the essence of your higher self, unravelling layers of tension as you step into a deeply healing, soul-led experience.
Please contact us to discuss alternatives to working with Cacao. We will prepare a separate heart opening tea for you.
Ceremonial Cacao
Cacao has been used for centuries as a “plant medicine” due to its heart opening qualities and wide-ranging health benefits, and when grown and consumed consciously, carries a vibrational quality that opens us up to a higher level of healing. Cacao ceremonies bring us together to share an intention, and by consuming ceremonial grade cacao, we hope to achieve a deeper state of meditation.
Cacao is raw, unprocessed chocolate in its purest form. Ceremonial grade cacao is typically sourced from Central and South America, where the beans are grown by local tribes, prepared by hand and harvested with love. When ingested, it helps to release ‘feel good’ hormones and endorphins, including theobromine, dopamine, and anandamide. Cacao can be useful in reducing stress, improving mental agility and improving blood flow. It is not psychoactive, but many people enjoy a beautiful physical and emotional journey during the meditation. Cacao is quite simply, a gentle facilitator for a connecting with your true heart and bringing out feelings of love and gratitude.
Preparation guidelines
Please ensure you are hydrated before and during the event and you may want to bring your own non-alcoholic drink of choice. Water is best which will be available.
We recommend not eating a heavy meal two hours prior to the ceremony and to eat lightly during the day. We also advise reducing dairy and caffeine intake on the day which will help receive the benefits of the Cacao.
