Please join us for an evening of Cacao Ceremony and shamanic sound journeying with the spirit of Black Jaguar. In a lush sound field of Himalayan bowls, voice, Gongs, drums, bells, rattles, and conches, we will fully relax and open to the guidance and medicine of these beloved plant and animal spirit teachers.

~~~

A shamanic journey is a traditional indigenous practice. It uses sacred sound to cultivate an altered theta state to receive guidance and wisdom from compassionate allies and/or your higher self. In this journey we are inviting Cacao ~ a master plant teacher whose specific medicine is to open our hearts to our highest potential and fullest blossoming through unity. We have found that this medicine synergizes beautifully with the spirit of Black Jaguar ~ an animal totem whose work it is to guide us deep within ourselves ~ into the looks within place and bring back those aspects of ourselves that need to be unified in our hearts.

~~~

An Indigenous myth recalls that when the Earth and its people are out of balance, Cacao (raw chocolate) will come out of the rainforest to open people’s hearts and return the planet to a state of harmony and balance. We are now living in those times.

The cacao ceremony is gifted from Spirit as a tool to heal separation and move into Oneness Consciousness. It is also said that "in times of renewal, it is the black jaguar who rules," powerfully and wisely guiding our transitions.

*cacao (theobroma) is the unprocessed, raw source of chocolate.
