The medicine of  sacred sound will generate movement in our cells, liberating our energetic channels  to create a cohesive resonance. Receiving the nourishment from the fruits of our  labor, with gratitude, in love.  The Solstice is a pivotal moment within the year during which, we may harmonize  to the frequencies of Christ Consciousness available to us, as a humanity, at this  time. In the Mayan Lunar calendar we are present under the energies of 7 Tz’i  which speaks to the potential of cosmic alignment through karmic connections,  making this a potent time to gather together in community to co-create our future  timelines.  Cacao is a medicine held sacred by the Maya whose connection to this plant spans  over 5,000 years, during which time, they have cultivated a profound relationship  with the energy and spirit of Cacao. They receive her as an offering brought forth  from another dimension. As a humble student beginning to integrate this ancient  wisdom, I serve this medicine in full recognition of and reverence to my teachers, Mayan Cosmology, Community, and Culture.  Includes:•Mayan Ceremonial Cacao beverage•Somatic practices, breathwork, and guided meditationSuggestions:Please come dressed comfortably, bringing water, a journal, & pen.When possible and not limited by personal dietary restrictions please do not eat right before the event, leaving space anywhere from 2 hrs-90 mins. prior in order to best receive the medicine.For any potential medical contraindications please communicate privately to consult.EVENT POLICYRefunds: Refunds will only be processed up to 24 hours before the event.If you can no longer make the class, please reach out to us through Eventbrite or at learn@thealchemistskitchen.com to learn about your options for refunds or credits toward future classes.No-call-no-shows are not eligible for refunds.Late arrival:There is a 15 minute grace period after the start time for late arrivals without notice.
