Mayan Awakening ¤ Cacao, Fire and Yoga Ceremony

In this Mayan Awakening Ceremony, we will call on the sacred Cacao deva Ixcacao, the transformational presence of Fire element, the detoxifying properties of gentle yogic movement, as well as the spirit of sound and energy healing, to create a powerful evening of heart opening, deeply healing, co-creative ancient ceremony! ¤ 》¤ ------------- ¤《 ¤ We will begin by invoking the seven directions through traditional Mayan Prayer and enjoy a ceremonial portion of raw Cacao, which comes to you straight from the Guatemalan Highlands and has been ritually prepared in love. As the cacao begins to work itself through our system, we will assist the opening and expansion of our Heart Chakra through collective yogic movement and guided astral breathing.  As we fan the flames of our sacred Fire Altar, we will have the opportunity to connect with this fierce element to truly transmute and transform that which no longer serves. In our delicious extended savasana, recieve a personal sound/aroma/reiki healing while we make space to journey deeper with the cacao deva, allowing her to reveal to us the beauty of our divine selves and releasing any energies and patterns that we have come to completion with.  Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to co-create beauty, deep connection, and healing for ourselves and our community!  ¤ 》¤ ------------- ¤《 ¤ $30 Soul Investment Space is Limited to 20 participants **PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED** Please register early to ensure your spot in this regularly sold-out event. ¤ 》¤ ------------- ¤《 ¤ About Ceremonial Cacao: According to both archeologists and Mayan spiritual elders, the Cacao Spirit was one of the most powerful deities in ancient Mayan cosmology. While the ancient Mayans and Aztecs of Southern Mexico and Guatemala are best known, there are contemporary Indigenous cultures in Central and South America who continue cacao use in shamanic ceremony, preferring it to locally available psychedelics. With today’s psychedelic buzz, you may not have heard much of them. Although one of this world’s finest spiritual or shamanic partners, cacao was ignored in the ‘60’s resurgence of medicine plants because it does not act like a psychedelic – it does not take you on its trip, but facilitates your own. ¤ 》¤ ------------- ¤《 ¤ About Your Guide: Hi there, I'm Monica!
