Come together with Alicia Clark-Teper and The Giving Tree community with the sacred medicine Cacao.
Ceremonial Cacao connects us to our heart space, the place that we need to listen to more.
When you join with Cacao in union, she brings you the opportunity to tune in to your heart, feel nourished and nurtured, create a connection to your deepest self, to the Earth, to the plants, and to the unconditional LOVE that she represents.
During our journey we will gather in sacred space to allow heart transformation and opening to unfold, and we will set an intention to carry forward into the new year. Using the tools of aromatherapy, sound, music, meditation, Reiki and Cacao we will Journey into the ethers of unconditional LOVE.
I will guide you through a Reiki meditation which builds your internal well-being and eliminates that which is ready to leave your energy field without any effort except release and acceptance.
A little about Cacao and the ceremony:
Cacao is an ancient plant medicine used for celebrations of life, and death, weddings and magical moments of life. As we enjoy the warm splendor of Momma Cacao you will learn a bit about the power of Cacao and how Cacao works magic to expand your heart space.
Cacao is a psychoactive plant medicine that is a vasodilator which opens the vessels to the heart and allows greater flow and connection to the heart space, not a psychedelic.
Ceremonial Cacao helps us open up, heal gently, invite more creativity, joy and clarity into our lives.
** Due to the nature of making Cacao ahead of time, we require a commitment by 5pm December 28th
***Please see important Journey info below***
* No caffeine intake for 6 hours before (and after) as it can be overstimulating
* No dairy products on the day of the ceremony, as they counteract the benefits of cacao and can cause stomach aches
