Cacao Circle: Duality Through Union
worth, community service, spiritual embodiment, and creative expression!
About this Event
DUALITY THROUGH UNION
Join us for a plant medicine circle with cacao where we will examine themes of self worth, community service, spiritual embodiment, and creative expression. In western astrology, we are moving from Mercury Rx in Cancer towards a solar eclipse in Leo, demonstrating that the ways in which we care for ourselves directly influences the capacity and quality of our self-expression.
Weaving breath-work, somatics, and ancestral practices, we will first harmonize our hemispheres before connecting with the ancient art of candle gazing, working with candles as a way to cleanse, set intentions, and connect to our inner fire. In the Mayan Lunar calendar we are present under the energies of 3 Kan, the feathered serpent and kundalini force of energy that lies within. It is through conscious connection to this inner light of awareness that we may begin to expand into our elemental Self, brining balance by liberating obstructed energies which desire to be made manifest.
Cacao is a medicine held sacred by the Maya whose connection to this plant spans over 5,000 years, during which time, they have cultivated a profound relationship with the energy and spirit of Cacao. They receive her as an offering brought forth from another dimension. As a humble student beginning to integrate this ancient wisdom, I serve this medicine in full recognition of and reverence to my teachers, Mayan Cosmology, Community, and Culture.
Includes:
•Mayan Ceremonial Cacao
•Candle gazing
•Somatic practices, breathwork, and guided meditation
