Upcoming events (2)
See all- Sacred Cacao CeremonyKutztown, Kutztown, PA
****Grab your tickets Here. An RSVP will NOT get you into this event. :) <3
The Lehigh Valley Psychedelic Society is hosting a Sacred Cacao Ceremony on Saturday, August 10thth, 3-5 pm in Kutztown, PA. The ceremony will be facilitated by healer, FreeDom, who is a student in the Initiatic Tradition and has received blessings from her teachers to carry sacred Cacao.
Our ceremonies usually sell out quickly, so please purchase your tickets in advance. Space is limited to 19 people.
Cacao is a gentle beautiful plant medicine. When consumed intentionally, it subtly releases energy blockages and opens our energy channels. It can open our minds and soften our hearts.
Similar to huanchuma (San Pedro) and MDMA, Cacao opens the doorway to our hearts, teaching us how to live consciously and break down our barriers to connection. If you’ve been curious to sit with other master plants such as Ayahuasca, psilocybin, and huachuma, attending a cacao ceremony will be a great introduction to the depths of sacred plant-medicines.
FreeDom has been a healing artist for over 23 years. She works with several massage modalities & energy work. FreeDom is a healer, who teaches herbal workshops and makes custom herbal remedies for her clients. She does shamanic healings in private ceremonial settings, life coaching, and retreats to empower the divine feminine. IG- @mama_flowers

Things to know:
- Refrain from eating a few hours before ceremony. The subtle sensations of cacao can be better felt on an empty stomach.

See you in ceremony!

Kava Ceremony:
In the Polynesian Islands, the tradition of cultivating Kava and drinking it during important gatherings has been a cornerstone of society for thousands of years. A tropical shrub with notched, angled stalks and heart-shaped leaves, it has drawn modern medical attention for its beneficial effects. Consumed to quell anxiety, relieve tension, and induce a more euphoric, peaceful state, Kava is a plant ally that can support many of us!
Jen Hombach of Jaya Kava will lead us through a ceremony to pay respects to the Kava plant, and taking a dose that will aid in relaxation and opening up to receive the medicine of sound.
Sound Healing:
Sound has been used for all time as a way to uplift and heal. Every chakra and even organ resonates at a certain frequency, and when we play different sound tones, it invites the energy centers to come back to balance and release any energy that is keeping it from working at its peak performance.
In this experience, Richie will utilize many different sources of sound to invite participants on a journey of self—leaving them more grounded, while invoking a deep sense of aliveness through activation.
What To Bring:
Please come with a yoga mat, pillows, cushions, or blankets.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Kava is not recommended to be simultaneously consumed with alcohol, painkillers, prescription sedatives or anxiety medications.Location:
The location address will be shared with you in the ticket confirmation email.***PARKING:
