This Valentine’s Day, join Dream Seed for a sacred cacao ceremony to celebrate the transcendental nature of Love! We will gather to connect our hearts and experience new life through the healing qualities of cacao.
Cacao is a beloved plant revered by the indigenous people of the Americas. It has received widespread recognition through its usage as the key ingredient in chocolate, but for the Mayan people, cacao is utilized as a rebirthing medicine, helping people get rid of negativity, release emotional suffering, and experience universal love.
Preparation for a Cacao Ceremony*:
Cacao contains caffeine, so please do NOT DRINK COFFEE or any other stimulants at least 3 hours before the ceremony. Please also refrain from using drugs or alcohol. We recommend that you do not eat for at least three hours prior to the ceremony. Dress in comfortable loose clothing.
Please drink plenty of water both before and after the ceremony to stay hydrated.
Register in advance to reserve your space. No one turned away for lack of funds; contact us for assistance.
Donation: $40; no one turned away for lack of funds. Contact us for assistance.
***If you are feeling unwell, have a cold, fever, or may have been exposed to COVID, please stay home. We will be happy to refund your ticket.***
DREAM SEED is a shamanic sound ensemble hosted by members of Golden Drum, Didge Project, and Sacred Arts Research Foundation. Shamanic chanting, mantras, overtone singing, Native American songs, indigenous music, didgeridoos, crystal singing bowls, bells, gongs, harmoniums, tuning forks and other overtone-emitting instruments are used to create an environment conducive to deep relaxation and inward investigation. Participants are led through guided meditations and sound healing practices designed to harmonize body, mind and spirit.
DISCLAIMERS
The strength of cacao can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the origin of the beans, the processing method, and the dosage used in the ceremony. While cacao is generally considered safe and non-psychoactive, it does contain certain compounds that may have mild effects on the body and mind. Additionally, the effects of cacao can vary from person to person, and some individuals may be more sensitive to its effects than others. As with any substance, it is important to approach cacao with respect and caution, and to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about its use. The information provided in a cacao ceremony is for educational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice or a substitute for professional healthcare. Take extra caution when consuming cacao if you have high blood pressure and anxiety and contact the facilitator with any questions or concerns.
