Cacao is a gentle, heart-activating, high-vibrational plant that has been used in ritual for thousands of years as a sacred medicine. Its healing properties are so needed on our planet today. We'll be drinking ceremonial grade cacao from Mexico, lovingly brewed into an elixir. It works on a physical and an energetic level, bringing us to the gate of our hearts and supporting us to step through, free the body and connect us to our deeper wisdom.
Cacao opens a powerful pathway to creativity, joy and inspiration, creating space for our prayers to be heard. Dancing in our prayers together offers a beautiful opportunity to manifest them in the present. I will be offering cacao with the 5 Elements Dance and just love the yummy blissful space we get into. It seems that the high doses of magnesium in the cacao really relaxes the muscles and when we combine it with dancing in the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Ether the body is able to expand with the energy more freely and quickly. So we experience more bliss, more pleasure, and all the good stuff that keeps us in balance in our busy modern lives.
Embark on a wild dance journey that takes you into an intimate dance with your body, tribe & nature. No dance experience requiered! You are gently guided with instructions and world music through the 5 elements. Each element will wake up a different energy & give you new insights about your life.
AIR opens your lungs & heart�
EARTH awakens your instinct�
FIRE helps you to express yourself�
WATER brings flow & creativity�
ETHER connects you with All
Ancient wisdom & rhythm of indigenous cultures are brought together to awake our consciousness. We dance ourselves into ecstatic states of awareness, release old patterns which no longer serve us, and come in the stillness of our authentic heart.
SPACE -
This is a very safe and intimate space and the people that attend always surprise themselves at how they are able to open up to others, especially when they start to let go. We are all a mirror for each other, with similar fears, sufferings, hopes and dreams. During the Ceremony the cacao activates within the body and the heart, allowing a truly transformative and ecstatic process to unfold.
Many people report a deep sense of Joy and Peace, a connection to something bigger than themselves as well as insights of limiting behaviour, thoughts and feelings that are able to be understood and released within the safe environment of the ceremony.

TESTIMONIALS -
I don't know where to start about my experience with Tane Mahuta Heke. I was in Koh panghan island at Haad Yuan and a lady I met told me about a cacao ceremony been conducted, I had never ever before attended any kind of ceremonies ever before, I m glad I did that day. To date its one my life's best experiences so far. I can't put in words the energy Tane carries. whole setting of that ceremony, music, the cleansing and knowledge shared by him. It was an heavenly experience with the Cacao, pure bliss, joy, dancing, crying, laughing every emotions was on the peak, if any one ever has a chance to sit for ceremony with his sacred medicine experience, just go for it and trust him. Big thank you brother for this wonderful magic you shared with all the people who were present there. keep spreading your energy the way you do!!! looking forward to see you again some where around. I forgot to mention one thing that he has set the standards so high, that it will always be difficult get his kind of energy and that's genuine fact.
