It is designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and reflect.The experience combines ceremonial cacao, a deeply visual guided meditation, and live improvised psychedelic ambient guitar into one unique experience. The cacao, the meditation, and the music all work together to create a calm, introspective atmosphere.The guided meditation is beginner-friendly, improvised, and centered around visualization, emotional awareness, and presence. Throughout the experience, the music is performed live and improvised in real time. Because both the meditation and the music are improvised, every ceremony unfolds a little differently.This is for anyone looking to relax, reflect, listen to live music, explore something new, or simply have a different kind of night out. It’s part guided meditation, part live concert experience. Come solo, bring a partner, or bring a friend. No meditation experience is needed.A limited number of early bird tickets will be avaialble at a discounted rate for this event.Arrival: Check-in begins at 3:45 PM. To help create a calm and uninterrupted experience for everyone, we ask that you arrive on time. Doors will be locked at 4:10 PM once the ceremony has begun, and late entry will not be available.Please note: We lightly use Palo Santo a few times throughout the ceremony as part of the experience. While the smoke is minimal, guests with asthma, smoke sensitivities, or other respiratory conditions should keep this in mind before attending.“Michael’s amazing guitar music was ethereal… I was able to relax and definitely drift off to another world for a while… The Guatemalan cacao drink added another wonderful layer to the experience.”— Allison H.Want to hear from more past participants?Read our Google Reviews here: [Schedule4:00 PM – Arrival and settling in4:15 PM – Ceremonial cacao served4:30 PM – Guided meditation and live music journey5:45 PM – Optional group sharing and reflection6:00 PM – ClosingPlease Bring• Yoga mat (or something comfortable to lie on)A limited number of yoga mats, bolsters, and blankets will be available free of charge.Optional• Water bottle• Eye mask• Blanket or towelParticipation in the ceremonial cacao is completely optional.
