Movement - Expression- Connection- Reverence

This event, created by Chelsea Amber, is a ceremony of connection, Cacao, guided movement, and free-form dance medicine in a downtempo-esque container. The pace is slower...like a steady burning flame, inviting us to drop deeper into presence with every delicious movement.

Our November gathering is brewing and the date is set! Our theme- some good old fashioned Gratitude. In the midst of life's ups and downs, pulls and pushes, the potency and importance of gratitude can be overlooked. Let's return to this simple prayer together as we move closer towards holidays with roots in honoring gods and goddesses of the harvest. Let's celebrate and find thanks for the bounty in each of our lives and the collective.

"If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough." - Meister Eckhart

We have an incredible team of femme creators this month! So excited to welcome Yoriela Lemons (Sol) holding a special Peruvian-style Cacao ceremony, Devi Peri sharing a movement warm-up, Rose Dayal (SoniQa) spinning our movement journey, and JeminEye Incantations sharing closing sound!

About the Cacao:
Cacao is a delicious, heart-opening medicine with indigenous roots all over the world. Drinking cacao in ceremony where one is invited to connect with the spirit of cacao and invite it into the heart space can bring profound healing experiences, especially when combined with movement such as dance. Cacao is just one more way to infuse Love into your dance!

The cacao we will drink comes from Alta-Verapaz, Guatemala and was processed in Lago Atítlan, Guatemala by a collective of women indigenous to Lago Atítlan. This ceremonial-grade cacao, 'Ruk'u'xUlew', means 'heart of the earth' in Kaqchikel, one indigenous language of Lago Atítlan. We will collectively gather in ceremony to serve and bless the cacao before we drink! To learn more about Ruk'u'xUlew Cacao, visit https://www.rukuxulew.com.
