Description
Cacao Ceremony and Integration Circle
If you have already embarked on the journey of self-knowledge and well-being, you probably had some challenging and powerful experiences that defy your cognitive abilities such as psychological breakthroughs, deep states of awareness, subtle perceptions, and emotional releases. If you are just starting on this journey, you will most likely go through the same story. Making sense of these experiences and bringing the new insights into our lives is what we know as the integration period - living our inner transformation. This period can feel very vulnerable and last for the time we are ready to engage with it.
At TPS we recognize the importance of community support during this "not here, nor there" process. For this reason, we invite you to participate in this "Integration Circle", which is part of a Cacao Ceremony. We will open a ceremonial space with a preparation of Cacao and call for its wisdom through chanting & sounds. After, we will engage in a conversation as a group and welcome any personal cases to be explored. We aim to
embrace these past experiences and tap into their transformational potential.
Experienced or beginners in the journey of self-knowledge, we will all take something from this collective gathering.
Participants must reserve a spot a minimum 4 hours prior to the start.
Who is the guide?
Ignacio was dissatisfied with his life and wanted to understand what was going on. He intuitively thought that this knowledge must reside in nature, since it is not created by humans. He discovered that there were people who had access to this knowledge, who in our culture are called “Shamans”. He found himself drawn to the culture of the Shipibo nation in the Peruvian Amazon basin. He has been involved in shamanic practices for 12 years and they are part of his path of self-knowledge. This led him to look deeper into the nature of his conflicts and to discover how they were a key to being genuine. This is how he lives, and this is what he can share: We are the medicine. TPS is very excited to host Ignacio, who will be leading the Integration Circle. He lives in Costa Rica and is visiting Toronto for a short period.

To get the most out of the integration circle, it is important to be prepared.
Preparation:
- Please eat a light meal 3 hours before. Fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts
- Best to avoid eating meat during that day, same as spicy condiments
- Avoid consuming any substance 4 hours before the event
- Any type of medication is allowed, but please, let us know when you arrive
- Hydrate well, and bring water to the event
- Bring a blanket, the body relaxation or emotional movement can feel a bit cold
- Take time in your life to connect to that experience that challenged your ideas of reality, write it down, and bring the paper with you
- If you are coming out of curiosity, with no particular topic that you want to explore during the ceremony, come with an open mind and you are welcome to ask any particular questions
May we all rise together as community!
