Solstice Ceremony

CACAO AND DRUMMING

Sunday, december 15, 11AM - 2pm

Connect within, without and with each other guided by the spirit of Cacao, and supported by the beat of the Drums.

What to expect

A beautiful combo to open our Heart and tune into the heartbat of the community, reflect upon what this year has brought, release with gratitude and to th beat of the drum what needs to go and plant the seeds of what is to come.

We will open the Circle together guided by Veronica. Jorge will then guide us on blessing our cup of ceremonial cacao, which we will drink with the intention of connecting with and opening our hearts. A guided meditation will follow to bring into our awareness the gifts and learning that this year has brought.

After sharing a cup of cacao, Lyle will guide us through a transformational drumming session to connect our Heart to the the Heartbeat of the community, and to the spirit of the land and within ourselves.

CIRCLE

Gathering in circle to make music, sing, dance, laugh and cry, has happened since the beginning of times. It is a timeless and powerful medicine to connect with each other in safer ways and to witness & support each other in the process.

CEREMONIAL Cacao

A Heart opener, Cacao is an ancient medicine beneficial for everyone, with the potential to heal, connect and open our hearts to our true essence. Maya inherited and have been stewarders of its wisdom for millenia and have been guided by their ancestors to open and share their tradition globally in these times.

TRANSFORMATIONAL DRUMMING

Drum beats are the heartbeats of Mother Earth. Another ancient medicine that opens the soul to a deeper prayer, drumming in circle has happened for millenia. It is an interactive experience where communities come together to create rich rhythms with various percussion instruments. This is where the heartbeat of the community comes alive!

WINTER solstice

The shortest day and the longest night of the year, this is when Death and Rebirth meet. While nothing appears to grow on the surface, the roots of what is to birth next cycle are growing within. A reminder that no matter how dark it gets the Light will always return, this outwardly dark, still and silent time is great to release with gratitude what was and plant the seeds of what is to come.

ABOUT THE CIRCLE

The Cacao Community Circle is held every 6 weeks, on the Sunday closest to the Solstices, Equinoxes & Cross-Quarters, with the intention of developing conscious awareness of the cyclical nature of life that takes place within and without us. Guided by the spirit of Cacao, and supported by conscious breathing and self inquiry, this space provides us with an opportunity to open our Heart and connect deeply within, without and with each other.
