His key interests lie in curanderismo (shamanism), plant medicine ceremony, pathways to awakening, meditation, sexuality and conscious expressive dance.

Mira:
Originally from the United States, Mira is a Mother, Earthkeeper, Cacaoista, Yogini and practitioner of the healing arts.
Mira passionately weaves the ancient teachings of plants with the timeless medicine of sound to help open and access higher states of consciousness. She incorporates traditions of the Kaqchikel & Tzutijil Maya of Guatemala, and the Laika of the Andes, into ceremonial space.
Mira's enthusiasm for the healing arts invites others to explore their hidden potential for healing and enlightenment within ceremony space. She welcomes the full human experience to exist while simultaneously merging with divinity. Her intention is to build bridges between worlds, co-creating sacred spaces to re-member our true nature, and let it shine forth.
The medicine of cacao 🍫
Cacao is a powerful elixr, an ancient plant medicine, that is both gentle and nurturing. We will prepare the medicine honouring the power of tradition, ritual and prayer.
There are some important preparations we recommend to support the experience.
✬ Preparations ✬

Cacao is best received on an empty stomach, so for this reason it’s suggested to arrive on empty stomach. Ideally, last meal should be by 3pm and caffeine should be avoided day of.
If you are taking blood pressure medication or antidepressants it’s advised to just have a couple of sips.
Alternatively, we welcome you to contact us so we can offer you an alternative tea.
There are some contraindications with ceremonial cacao, such as SSRI's (antidepressants), antipsychotics and heart medications.
Please make contact with us prior so we can adjust accordingly.
