About this Event
Join us for a heart-opening morning of connection, intention, and deep relaxation. Sarah Raposa will guide us through a sacred cacao ceremony, sipping this ancient plant medicine to awaken the heart, expand awareness, and invite a sense of grounding and presence. Guided intention setting and gentle meditation will help you drop into stillness and align with your inner truth.
Following the cacao, immerse yourself in the healing vibrations of a group sound bath with Vanessa Ferragut. Using crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other therapeutic instruments, the soundscape will guide you into a state of deep rest and energetic release—calming the nervous system, clearing stagnant energy, and nourishing mind, body, and spirit.
This ceremony is an opportunity to:
🌕 Open the heart and deepen self-connection
🌕 Release stress and energetic blockages
🌕 Restore balance, clarity, and peace
🌕 Share in community and collective intention
No prior experience is needed—simply come as you are, with an open heart and a willingness to receive. Comfortable clothing is recommended; yoga mats, blankets, and water are encouraged.
PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING YOUR TICKET
There are a few health precautions to consider. If any of these pertain to you, please contact us and we will connect you directly with Sarah to discuss if Cacao is appropriate for you in a small dose, or just energetically (not consumed):
- Anti-Depressants: Cacao can interact with some anti-depressant medications depending on type and dosage.
- Heart Conditions: Cacao increases heart rate by 20-30% and lowers blood pressure. Histamine intolerance: Cacao is low in histamine, but contains tyramine and PEA which are histamine triggers.
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: no known contraindications for mothers or babies; a smaller serving of cacao is recommended.
- Food Sensitivities: Cacao is a fermented food, so those sensitive to fermented foods may consider similar effects.
