Benefits of Chocolate Cacao

Gentle plant medicine, Ceremonial Cacao, think of 100% dark chocolate unprocessed and unadulterated, helps increase blood flow to the brain improving mental focus and clarity plus it is abundant in flavanols which have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Cacao is a natural stimulant of serotonin, the body’s ‘happy’ biochemical that helps us balance our moods.

Cacao is a loving and gentle plant medicine that unites you with the heart of Mother Earth; opening your Heart Chakra and elevating your creative consciousness with a feeling of expansive and euphoric connection.

The Cacao is vegan, soy and GMO free

What happens during cacao ceremony?

We set up sacred space, and we will drink Ceremonial Cacao together with heartfelt, loving intentions. We will then experience a shamanic journey of healing with Mama Cacao as your guide. I will drum for your shamanic Journey to assist you in your healing. We will conclude with a sound healing Koshi chimes, and singing bowls.

The Cacao Ceremony is a guided journey that will have you reflect, contemplate, release, forgive, accept and heal. There will also be sound healing to help shift you more into your heart and clear your chakras.

Guest Laughter Yoga Instructor Nicole Ottoman

Hi, I’m Nicole,

I have been teaching Laughter Yoga for 10 years. It brings me so much bliss to share this unique and fun way to exercise and cultivate more joy! Anyone can do Laughter Yoga. No mat is needed and no traditional yoga poses will be held. Laughter Yoga starts with an open mind to play and be a kid again. The session includes breathing exercises, clapping, chanting, movements and laughter exercises. The health benefits to prolonged laughing are vast. We can fake or simulate laughter and our bodies don't know the difference. So we can fake it, till we make it, and boost our vibes! Give yourself permission to play again and express yourself. I’m excited to show you! See you soon!~ Nicole
