Description

Commune with cacao and feel into the depths of how this sacred medicine can soothe our hearts and souls. As we bloom and expand our hearts to our families and communities we must also care for and soothe our souls for service. We are very prone to being affected by the energies of the outside world. And when we are surrounded by heavy or negative energies, our own energy can be kicked out of balance. How do we cope? Having foresight in a world with uncertainties can weigh down the spirit of the heart. Cacao helps increase the energetic field of our hearts, and when consumed in a group this energetic field becomes exponentially larger and more expansive. Combining cacao with sound healing enhances the healing potential of both medicines, helping us to transcend lower vibrations and bring us into harmony, so we may remember and return to our soul’s calling. Mayan elders speak of this era, after 2012, as a time for us to transcend what has diminished us from accessing our fullest human potential. Supportive energies are unfolding for us to access if we dedicate time to soothe and consciously commune with elements of Mother Nature in a sacred way. These rapidly changing times offer an optimistic opportunity to tap into ancient energies that are just waiting to be stoked! Let’s tap into Mother Nature’s gift of cacao in sacred circle, stoking her medicine for healing. We’ll explore cacao’s blissful compounds, learn about the cacao tree, tell stories of Mayan Goddesses, and receive a vibrational sound journey to soothe our souls and revive our hearts, so they may bloom brighter and more brilliantly together.

Guided by Chi Chocolate: Teresa Ulrich works with the sacredness of cacao as ‘medicine’ for soothing hearts and awakening essence.

She makes her ceremonial cacao from scratch, selecting cacao beans that contain higher euphoric compounds than others for an extra blissful experience.
