"Cacao Ceremony - Opening the Heart"
This will be a two-hour cacao ceremony. Participants are offered a cup of ceremonial grade cacao and then taken on a guided journey/visualisation to connect with the spirit of the cacao plant. Cacao is a heart opening plant spirit medicine whose gentle, compassionate, earthy spirit encourages us to get in touch with those qualities in ourselves. Bio: Jax works as a shamanic practitioner and within this, includes sound healing, ceremonies with cacao and other plant spirit teachers. She also offers psycho-spiritual counselling. |
Further Details:
Duration: 2 hours
This Workshop is for: People new to Shamanism, People with some experience. No experience necessary, although some experience of shamanic journeying and guided visualisation is helpful.
Important information: I will need to know if participants are taking SSRI's or blood pressure or heart medications. This can be shared with me in private before the ceremony. Cacao is safe to drink but there are some contraindications to taking a full shamanic dose of cacao due to its high tryptophan content and mild stimulant effects (but smaller amounts are okay).
What to Bring to the Workshop: It's helpful to have a sheepskin and comfy blanket and anything else you need to be able to feel warm. For most of the ceremony, participants will be invited to lie down to experience the cacao. This is important as it's hard to relax and journey if you are feeling cold or uncomfortable.
More about Jax: Jax works as a shamanic practitioner and within this is included sound healing, ceremonies with cacao and other plant spirit teachers and also psycho-spiritual counselling. She has completed may trainings and teachings over the years and is a student of deepening her own experience of life so that she may help others do the same for themselves. She also enjoys making art that includes shamanic objects and temporary installations in nature by rearranging the gifts that nature provides in playful or beautiful ways. Her latest adventure is to be taking part in Compassionate Inquiry training, a somatic, trauma-informed approach to talk therapy.
