REGISTER HERE: www.madleen.org/eventsJoin us for a heartwarming cacao ceremony to celebrate the winter solstice. As we honor the longest night and welcome the return of light, we'll share ceremonial cacao, practice gentle yoga, and engage in breathwork and mantras to open our hearts and connect deeply with ourselves and the season. Embrace this special time of reflection and renewal in a supportive community.
We will also be having a potluck for those who wish to stay after ceremony to connect deeper. This is something we crave after each ceremony and look forward to having this as an addition.
Ceremonial-grade cacao, the purest form of chocolate, is far more than a delightful indulgence. It holds a rich history rooted in ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations, where it was considered a sacred plant medicine. Ceremonial cacao carries a high vibrational frequency and is meticulously prepared with reverence and intention. When consumed in a ceremonial setting, this divine elixir opens the heart and connects us to our inner selves, fostering a deep sense of love, compassion, and unity. As we sip this heavenly elixir, we honor the spirit of cacao and embrace its transformative power, allowing it to guide us on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and profound connection with ourselves and the world around us.

IMPORTANT: Cacao should not be mixed with recreational drugs as the effects of the combination is unknown and cannot be controlled. If you’re on medication, make sure you’ve told the shaman ahead of time to ensure the ceremony is right for you.
