Ceremony
Join us for a cup of cacao shared in community.
A sacred community space to connect within, without & with each other through ritual and ceremony, honoring, celebratings and inviting awareness to the change of seasons within and without us, guided by the spirit of Cacao, and supported by Two Stage Breathwork.
Next Circle: Summer Solstice, Date TBC
What to expect
After opening the Circle and checkin in with each other, we will be guided on blessing our cup of ceremonial cacao and will drink it with the intention of connecting with and opening our hearts.
A guided meditation will follow to bring into our awareness the energy and meaning of the current Season and the significance of the specific Equinox or Solstice.
You will then be guided through the practice of Two Stage Breathwork, to support the release of emotional blockages and melting of our heart’s armouring.
Before and after breathing, we will do self-inquiry and share in dyads or triads, following the principles of Transparent Communication that we have learned from Thomas Heubl.
About Cacao
Cacao has the potential to heal, connect and open our hearts to our true essence. It is beneficial for everyone to have a practice involving cacao. Mayas, who inherited and have been stewards of the wisdom and the tradition of sacred cacao for millenia, have been guided by their ancestors to open and share their tradition of cacao globally, specifically in these times. Even if cacao has been considered sacred since ancient times, it is important to note that for the Maya there was no such thing as a cacao ceremony. During the circle, Veronica & Jorge will share what they have learned about Cacao through their own research and by studying with the Mayan Wisdom Project.
TWO Stage Breathwork
This is a tool and healing modality that uses the breath to help us dissolve the protective layers around the heart, release emotional blockages and reconnect us with the deepest source of healing—Love.
We share this practice as taught by David Elliott: as a spiritual practice rooted in the concept that Love is the most powerful force for healing.
ABOUT THE CIRCLE
The Cacao Community Circle is held every 12 weeks, on the Sunday closest to the Solstices and Equinoxes 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.
Other circles where Cacao is shared: Womb Temple.
Holding Space
Together, Veronica and Jorge create a trauma informed container that stems from Love, is held with integrity, rooted on their commitment to their own healing journey and informed by their professional experience & practice.
They will support you in the preparation, integration and aftercare.
