✨🕯️✨ DETAILS ✨🕯️✨
Enjoy a magical evening of grounding & deep nourishment for your mind, body & spirit. Through guided meditations, medicine songs, ritual & mindfulness practices, you will be led on a healing journey of loving self-reflection & community connection. We will begin by sharing some facts about our ethical ceremonial cacao. As we drink our cacao together, we will share Mayan wisdom that has been passed down from our indigenous teachers. What follows flows with energy of the day and the Valentine's theme: Path of Love. Join us and let’s see what kind of magic we will co-create!

✨What is ceremonial cacao?
Ceremonial cacao is the whole food, relatively unprocessed product deriving from the Theobroma cacao tree, native to Central + South America. Theobroma means "food of the gods" in Latin, and cacao is an Olmec term meaning "bitter" and "water." This gentle & sacred heart-opening plant, which has been a central component in Mayan culture for thousands of years, is now hailed in the Western World as a "superfood" packed with nutrients that boost mood, ease stress + help fight disease. The ceremonial cacao we drink in our circles is a brew made of cacao mixed with water. In every Community Cacao Circle with Rakas Kakaw, we serve ethical single-ingredient 100% Mayan Ceremonial Cacao sourced exclusively from indigenous collectives in Guatemala.
✨Who’s Invited?
Everyone native to Planet Earth is warmly welcome in our inclusive community circles, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexuality, etc. If you are new to ceremonial cacao that’s not a problem. During these gatherings, nothing is forced or required other than showing up with an open heart. We follow strict safe space guidelines & ask that participants refrain from drug & alcohol use on the day of our circle.
