Cacao & Roots Medicine Journey

This guided journey is an invitation to connect to ritual, prayer, community and the depths of self through our relationship to The Plants. Sandra & Yella will open the evening with invocations and the word, offering an introduction to the healing properties of Cacao and its capacity to connect us with the heart, the earth, and each other. We will activate the voice through toning, sacred mantra, and breath before serving Cacao, then continue the journey with inquiry, meditation, mantra, live medicine music, and eventually a sound bath to wind down and integrate our experience.

Together with Cacao we will alchemize a blend of medicinal roots such as dandelion, licorice and ginger to support us in a process of deepening our grounding to Mother Earth. We will receive direct guidance from these plants teachers in connecting with, repairing and nurturing relationships with our wise and loving ancestors, our own personal roots. This wintertime ritual will be a unique opportunity to gently explore and heal energetic burdens within our lineages as well as to express our heartfelt gratitude for the strength and resilience we have inherited from our ancestors.

There will be an opportunity to share blessings and reflections at the end of the evening in a closing circle. Cacao is a very gentle medicine with subtle effects.
