Healing and Transformative Cacao Ceremony w/ Christina Graziano

A cacao ceremony is a sacred gathering where participants consume cacao, a plant based extract from the cacao tree, in order to open their hearts and set intentions. We will set intentions with the assistance of Mother Cacao plus open our hearts to increase our vitality. We will meditate, reflect and share intentions.

The origins of cacao ceremonies can be traced back to the ancient Maya & Aztec civilizations and the rituals of ancient shamans. The practice has been reintroduced in modern society as a way to connect with oneself and the environment
