EPIC Cacao Ceremony & CuddlesEver just need a HUG? Want to meet new people? Heard about Cacao and curious?
Bring your Pj's and Experience Ananda (bliss) through ourselves and each other with the help of cacao medicine & cuddles!
This is an EMPOWERING LEVEL 2 workshop on boundaries, consent and communication skills. You must have already attended a Cuddle Party Event Prior inorder to attend this one.
Criollo Cacao is a wild, native plant that grows on the pacific slopes of Guatemala. Ceremonial Cacao is similar to Hot Cocoa, a mildly intoxicating beverage made from the seeds of the Cacao fruit but without any of the fillers, preservatives or other additives typically in industrialized chocolate, truly an ancient recipe. It is known to act as an aphrodisiac, induce bliss, open the heart and stimulate creativity. Besides containing theobromine, an alkaloid also found in Yerba Mate tea, Cacao contains anandamide, known as "the bliss molecule" and is literally named after the Sanskrit word for BLISS! With that being said, it is no wonder that in 1753 Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus assigned the name Theobroma as a fitting description for this magical plant which when translated reads, "Food of the gods". Get ready to learn more about this amazing medicinal food and to experience some serious heart opening bliss!!!
Amanda is a Certified Cuddle Party Facilitator and is honored to host these events! Come out and try this unique oxytocin bliss-filled experience and let your stresses melt away.

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR:
Amanda Ananda is an International Tantric Facilitator and Domestic Goddess of 2 outrageous young boys. Amanda has a diverse Tantrica background that allows for a unique, blissful and radiant experience to unfold in her workshops, online courses and sessions. She has studied with The School of Tribal Tantra based on Kashmir Shaivism and Shamanic Ritual, Ipsalu Tantra – Kriya Yoga based on Osho’s dynamic teachings, and Babaji Nagaraj’s esoteric Cobra Breath Technique and Urban Tantra combining modern tantric philosophy with conscious kink. Amanda as a life-long student, immersed herself in the sacred teachings from the Temple of Isis and Mary Magdalene, and is most recently now diving deeply into Somatic Trauma Healing. She encourages you to live blissfully in this intense world by gently taking care of yourself and making joyful well-being your first-and-foremost priority. Her techniques will help you to become embodied with simple-yet-profound, heartfelt tools that you can apply in your daily life.
Working with Amanda will assist you to clear the “murky gunk” that blocks you from your true light, guiding you in opening up to the miracle of life, and embracing the bubble of “ananda” (or, in English, bliss!) that is constantly accessible to us all. She is tremendously enthusiastic and humbled to share these teachings with the wonderful souls who say ‘HEAVEN’S YES’ to time spent with her.
Amanda is responsible for bringing Cuddle Party to the Connecticut area. She is ecstatic and honored to support the quickly evolving local Cuddle Monster community.
