"Cacao Ceremony"
This will be a cacao ceremony to facilitate a connection with the spirit of the cacao plant. There will be a brief introduction to the relationship humans have had with cacao for thousands of years as a medicinal plant, some of its benefits and why we find chocolate so delicious! You will be served a cup of ceremonial grade cacao prepared with love and my intention and prayers that each one will receive what they need from the experience. You will be invited to share a few words about your intention for joining in with the ceremony. Most of the workshop will be a guided visualisation to meet with the spirit of the cacao plant in your own way, to bring to heart and mind your healing intentions or guidance during this time. There will be a sharing circle afterwards and opportunity to reflect on your experiences of the meditation or share any wisdom you gained from the cacao that you feel you would like to share with the group. Bio: Jax has been working with the master plant teachers for the past twenty years. She also works as a shamanic practitioner and psychotherapeutic counsellor. Offering cacao as a plant spirit medicine and seeing the insights, healings and magic this amazing plant spirit brings to people is one of her favourite practices. |
Further Details:
Duration: 3 hours
This Workshop is for: No particular experience needed, but a familiarity with guided visualisation/journeying is helpful. Also helpful to know that participants don't have a sensitivity to dark chocolate/cacao.
What to Bring to the Workshop: Please bring a sheepskin and a blanket or something comfortable to lie on. It's useful to wear layers so that participants don't feel too cold/too warm (as cacao can have the effect of changing the experience of body temperature, as can lying down for an hour). A water bottle is helpful. You may like to bring a notepad and pen to write down insights gained from your journey.
More about Jax: Jax has been working with cacao as a plant medicine since 2018 and has facilitated many cacao ceremonies, both for groups and one to ones, including at the Shamanic Gathering in previous years. Jax has also facilitated teaching groups of adults in addiction recovery workshops and in counselling diploma trainings. She also works as a psycho-spiritual counsellor and more recently with Gabor Mate's Compassionate Inquiry model of trauma- informed somatic/talking therapy.
