Sacred Cacao Ceremony – August 2018 in Lakewood CA

Traditionally prepared ceremonial cacao is a magical and sacred concoction. It is not at all like drinking a regular cup of hot chocolate. It’s a strong and powerful drink, mixed with spices, to awaken the energetic properties of the cacao. Brook was offered this ancient recipe when she worked with shamans in South America. She prepares it with special blessings and prayers offered up to Yolotl Etzli, the spirit of the cacao plant itself. Doing this makes the ceremonial cacao extremely powerful in aiding those who participate in the sacred ceremony, to open their heart and connect more fully for deep shamanic journeying, inner work, and creative expression. Unlike a hallucinogenic, cacao takes you to the door of your awakening and offers you the opportunity to walk through it yourself, without forcing you. It is a gentle and magnificent healer.
Sacred ceremonial cacao is prepared in such a way that, the properties of it alone increases blood flow to the brain by 30-40%, and the actual oxygen in the blood is also increased by 20%. This can greatly expand the energy of the heart center for deeper awareness, healing, joy and creativity. In this sacred setting Brook expands the energy in the room while working with the group in deep healing work and activations. We use meditation and music along with deep teachings to support your sacred journey through the heart.
