Cacao Ceremony

Opening & Warming Your Heart

Brooke will share both ancient and modern teachings of our master center, the Heart. Its power and influence in your body and life are profound and joyous. You will be shown how to find and share more love, enabling you to have more clarity, pleasure and richness in your life, and to offer a healing balm to the world which is so much in need. 

To facilitate this, the blessing of Mother Cacao will be offered in sacred ceremony.

Ceremonial cacao is a master plant that facilitates the connection with our Being, helping us to awaken our connection and transcending limitations to create and live a life more aligned with our nature. Cacao takes us to the Heart, and from it facilitates a powerful process of healing and transformation through a quiet, gentle, and very loving energy.

The complete inward ceremony lasts for around 4 hours. Please bring a mat, pillow and blanket. 

ABOUT THE CACAO

Cacao is a plant that has been used medicinally for many years by indigenous cultures of Mesoamerica. It is known of Mayan rituals in which cacao was used ceremonially, considering the spirit of Mother Cacao a deity. Today there are still indigenous groups that use them in this way, in addition to the resurgence that has had in Western culture for about 10 years.

The cacao that we are going to use comes from the Pacific area of Guatemala, of native variety, and is processed naturally in the village of San Marcos de La Laguna on the magical Lake Atitlán. It is a high quality cacao, ceremonial grade, chosen for its quality for this work.

Recommendations:

Any food eaten should be consumed 4-5 hours before, so that the cacao can be assimilated more quickly. Also avoiding caffeine helps to better connect with the energy of cacao.

If someone is taking medication, it is necessary to notify us to know the compatibility and to adjust the dose. Especially people who have heart problems, or have pacemakers incorporated, because cacao increases the heart rate, or for those who are taking antidepressants, as it could cause migraines.
