You are welcome to participate in just the cacao circle, just the Dance Temple or both, the 2 happenings will be woven almost seamlessly with chance to duck out before the dance or dance in after the cacao circle.
Tanya aka DJ Liquid Crystal (she/her) offers you electric tribal beats honouring the expanding heart consciousness. She works with cacao and sound to transport everyone into a higher state of now.
Cacao circle and introduction to Cacao Dieta: Learn the ways of a cacao plant medicine and the value of circle songs while honouring the deep lineage of the Amazon wisdom. Please bring a special cup an offering for the altar, and something to sit on. The altar we create is a portal to the intention and presence that we give each moment. Opening the heart is a language that will bring us to a new level of relating to each other, the planet and the cosmos.
For the Cacao Circle at 6:30 for $10 - please register with Tanya by email blossomschocolategmail.com in advance so she knows how much cacao to prepare.
All ages, all genders, all bodies, and all parts of YOU are welcome.
