We are excited to bring you together in a magical shamanic healing cacao ceremony. The ceremony tradition has its roots in Central and South America. The Mayan and Aztec civilizations considered cacao sacred “Food of the Gods” or a “superfood” for its rich substances: antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. It was allowed to be consumed only by the ruling classes and to be traded by way of money.

The ceremony is intended to open one's heart to each other and the cosmos. This specially made heirloom cacao drink–not hallucinating–is prepared using an indigenous formula, which allows us to share our heart stories, setting intentions for the future, expressing deep wishes and hidden prayers in our own authentic voice, and in a safe space. We will be visioning and journeying, singing, making music, and telling heart stories throughout the ceremony. 

During the ceremony you will be ask to lie down. Please bring your personal equipment to feel comfortable - yoga mat, blanket, cushion, eye cover etc. 

We hope you’ll join us.

Please also have a look at the weekend workshop with Itzhak in the same venue. A combo ticket for workshop and cacao ceremony is available.
