Description

Join us for a nourishing day of renewal and communion with Divinity. Drink delicious hot chocolate in sacred company & sound Since ancient times, Cacao has been used by the Toltec, Aztec and Mayan cultures in sacred rituals to commune with Source, access Divine Wisdom and amplify the power of our prayers. This sacred plant medicine, when used with intention, acts as a catalyst to shift old patterns, expand the heart center and activate the higher chakras. We invite all participants to bring offerings of flowers, seeds, fruit or healing herbs for our altar. Please wear loose and comfortable clothing, white or light colors preferred. Bring a blanket or yoga mat to lay on, and a friend… or two! Kirtan is a Sanskrit word which literally translates to mean "to Glorify". It is a timeless devotional practice of call and response singing, guided by Jayadeva, bhakti-yoga practionioner of over 30 years. Recommended in the Bhagavad-gita as the easiest way to meditate in this age, Kirtan opens your heart & voice to connect to your inner Divinity and stimulate genuine joy and peace within. Traditionally accompanied with free-flowing sacred sattvic dance to inspire deeper connection to your higher power. Facilitated by Curanderx and Ceremonialist, Madre Jaguar, who is visiting from Mexico and Kirtan by Ojai native, Jayadeva Dasa (Jacob Duran) -- Master Multi-Instrumentalist, Sacred Sound Engineer & Astrologer Energy Exchange $33 To RSVP, please Venmo: @BhaktiNet and add a note with your name and “Cacao/Kirtan” Free entry for Children.
