Description

A circle of women holds ancient magic. All is remembered when we sit together. We find comfort in each other’s stories & experiences. We learn from one another. We resonate with one another. We are connected. We are a tribe. We are all healers! We have the ability to heal ourselves and by healing ourselves, we heal one another, our ancestors, and our mother earth. We need this NOW more than ever. In this container, we will gather in ceremony with the Magick of Cacao. Cacao is an ancient plant medicine that bridges the gap between Heart and Spirit. This ceremony will connect us with the Spirit of Cacao to be used as a tool to safely open our hearts to be healed, inspired, and transformed. (more about cacao at the end) We will connect to our feminine essence, our wombs & our inner child, to own & trust our own body wisdom & rhythm, fostering a deeper awakening, embodied presence, aliveness & eros.

Xoxo With Gratitude, Reverence & Love Annamaria WHY CACAO? Cacao (chocolate in its purest raw form) is ancient plant medicine that has been used by the Mayans & Aztecs for centuries both by the Shamans and people in their everyday lives. This connecting, heart-opening medicine is nowadays still used for ritual, healing and shamanic journeying. Raw cacao is one of the most dense superfoods, and is the highest source of magnesium on the planet. Additionally, it contains anandamide, a so-called "bliss chemical” that works with the heart's ability to expand, supports emotional clearing, and deepen the connection with self and with life. It is believed that the spirit of cacao has the power to reveal and unlock the secrets of the soul, bringing forth our ultimate truth in a way that is soft, immediate and lasting. In ceremonial doses, raw cacao is a powerful heart opener that paves the way to transformation through self-love guiding us to deepen our understanding of who we truly are, release old patterns and traumas and move into a more compassionate but powerful space. Whatever your path, the intention is yours to set and the cacao allows you the insight and awareness to move towards that goal. In my ceremonies, I honor and acknowledge it's history & heritage, keeping it sacred with respect and only sourcing cacao where it was grown and prepared in an ethical & authentic way.
