Next Circle: Autumn Equinox Ceremony

ABOUT THE CIRCLE

The Cacao Community Circle is held every 6 weeks, on the Sunday closest to the Solstices, Equinoxes & Cross-Quarters, with the intention of developing conscious awareness of the cyclical nature of life that takes place within and without us. Guided by the spirit of Cacao, and supported by conscious breathing and self inquiry, this space provides us with an opportunity to open our Heart and connect deeply within, without and with each other.

About Cacao

Cacao has the potential to heal, connect and open our hearts to our true essence. It is beneficial for everyone to have a practice involving cacao. Mayas, who inherited and have been stewarders of the wisdom and the tradition of cacao for millenia, have been guided by their ancestors to open and share their tradition of cacao globally, specifically in these times. Even if cacao has been considered sacred since ancient times, it is important to note that for the Maya there was no such thing as a cacao ceremony.

Within a sacred space that honors, celebrates and invites awareness to the change of seasons within and without us, we will share a cup of cacao in community while Veronica & Jorge share what they have learned about Cacao through their own research and by studying with the Mayan Wisdom Project.

About Breathwork

After sharing a cup of cacao with the intention of connecting to and opening our hearts, Natalie will be guiding you through a Dynamic Reconnection Breathwork session. DRB is a breathwork modality that includes deeper, faster breathing for an extended period of time accompanied by a thoughtfully put together music set that is designed to take you on a deep inner journey. This method can help you shift into an altered state of consciousness which has the potential to bring about deep healing for the mind, body, and spirit. Read more here.

AUTUMN EQUINOx

Autumn Equinox is when the day and night are equal, before darkness begins to increase. It is time to celebrate the abundance that the Light brought, and to welcome the relaxation that follows action. It represents the beginning of a contractive, intuitive, dark and inner focused or Yin phase. In our Life Cycle this corresponds to our peri meno/andropause years. Autumn is time to release and let go off what no longer serves us, with love and gratitude.
