𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗥𝗘𝗔:
Andrea is a ceremonialist and herbalist rooted in both Latin American and European ancestral traditions. She studied natural medicine and shamanism, learning from Kichwa elders in the Amazon, Afro-Colombian herbalists, and taitas (spiritual leaders) - as well as from the wise women and plant teachings of her own European lineage. Guided by the spirit of cacao, she creates sacred spaces for heart connection, healing, and remembrance.

Ready to deeply relax and connect with yourself and Pacha Mama?
Then this ceremony is for you!
With a cup of heartwarming cacao and my shamanic drum, I will guide you into a state of deep, relaxing meditation. The inspiration for my ceremonies comes from ancestral traditions from Latin America and Europe. The cacao is prepared with a blend of powerful, healing herbs to elevate the experience.
𝙋𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙚 that while ceremonial cacao is a gentle and heart-opening plant medicine, it is still a powerful substance that interacts with the body and mind. I serve a low dose, which is generally very well tolerated, but I kindly ask you to read the following:
Cacao may not be suitable for you if you:
• Take antidepressants (especially MAOIs or SSRIs)
• Have a serious heart condition or high/low blood pressure
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have allergies to cacao or a histamine intolerance
If you are unsure, please consult your doctor or healthcare provider before joining. Always listen to your body and feel free to take a smaller amount or skip the cacao entirely, the ceremony remains powerful either way.
