Cacao Ceremony: A Heart Opening Night of Connection

We’ll gather in circle, guided by the gentle spirit of ceremonial cacao to soften, open, and awaken the wisdom within.

I am excited to have fellow curandera Josie Castanda in from Miami, Florida. Josie will share in an offering of cacao from Peru. Together we will support with the medicine of song, breath and energy clearing to return to our pulse of presence.
