Sacred Ceremony 
We will be guided in a sacred ceremony to consecrate and bless our Cacao Elixirs. We will do this as an active prayer to set positive and powerful intentions for our lives. Sacred ceremonies are devotional practices that humans have been doing for centuries. Sacred ceremony is a powerful way to plant our intentions deep into the ground of our life and a way to open to the support and guidance our higher selves and a greater intelligence.  

Cacao
Food of the Gods - Cacao is medicine for our spirit to be uplifted on the heart's wings. We will drink an elixir of raw organic sacred cacao from Peru, melted in gently heated spring waters infused with vanilla and orange essence, spices, songs and prayers to decalcify our pineal glands and to activate our LOVE hormones.

Blue Lotus
Blue lotus flower (Nelumbo nucifera) is from the family of water lilies. For many thousands of years blue lotus flower has been adorned as a very special and sacred plant. It has been a revered plant for thousands of years and across many cultures as varied as the Egyptian, Mayan, Syrian Indian and Thai. 
The Blue Lotus is a flower of such beauty, intoxicating scent, and when injected can elicit subtle feelings that provides a mild sense of tranquillity and euphoria, along with a very gentle sense of altered awareness that enhances meditative and introspective practices.

Sound Healing
This sacred sound healing is a yoga of song, sound and silence. An inner journey guided by the soundscapes of a medicine drum, Native American flute, crystal singing bowls, dreamtime yidaki, scandinavian tritar and Indian shrooti box accompanied by Spirit chants, mantras, prayers and devotional heart songs. Sound healings are scientifically proven to not only purify our chakras and auric fields but 72.000 energy channels aka Nadis. We cleanse our energy field for the pranic life force to flow, strengthening health and vitality. 

Ecstatic Dance
Ecstatic dance is a form of dance in which the dancers do not follow any specific steps. They rather abandon themselves to the rhythm and move freely as the music takes them, leading to a feeling of ecstasy. The effects of ecstatic dance begin with ecstasy itself, which may be experienced in differing degrees. Dancers are described as feeling connected to others, and to their own emotions. The dance serves as a form of embodied meditation. 

 What to bring
- Dress to express! Be creative, be comfortable.
- A yoga mat, cushion & a blanket.
- An open heart and open mind. 

With so much Love ♥ See you there Tribe!
