Facilitated by multi-instrumentalist and Shamanic Practitioner- Jonah Tobias
What to Expect:
Shamanic Cacao is a heart opening drink made from raw chocolate that has been used since the time of the Mayans. It carries a sweet and connective spirit, and facilitates spiritual awakening. We will begin the night by sharing a special cacao from the Mayans of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, and getting to know one another through conversation and authentic relating. Then we will be led in a brief meditation and movement before settling under a blanket to be guided into our hearts and bodies through live instrumentation. The sound bath is a guided journey featuring african harp and kalimbas, singing bowls, ethereal chimes, shakers, rattles, guitar. shamanic chakapa (leaf rattle), drums, and more. Featuring elements of meditation, shamanic journeying, and reiki, we welcome you to relax and replenish while connecting with community.
The additional plant medicines of hape' and sananga will be available after the close of ceremony, as well as a discussion of shamanic plant medicines
