New Moon/Venus Cacao Circle

Join us for a transformative evening at our private residence, where we will come together in a sacred circle to connect with the heart-opening medicine of cacao. We are honored to offer ceremonial-grade Cacao from the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, lovingly prepared by a group of Indigenous women led by Abuelita Árbol. This sacred plant medicine, revered by the ancient Mayan and Aztec peoples, was known as the drink of the gods for its power to connect us with the divine within and around us.

Cacao works directly on the heart chakra helping to release emotional blockages, cultivate inner wisdom, and deepen our connection to ourselves, each other, and Pachamama. It promotes relaxation, joy, and love while reducing stress and restoring harmony with the natural world.

The New Moon is a time of introspection and renewal, offering a blank canvas to set intentions and manifest our dreams. Paired with the energy of the Venus cycles, these circles provide a unique opportunity to align with the cosmos and work on releasing, transforming, and healing the love for ourselves and others. We will share insight into the power of the Venus portals and their invitation into renewal, transformation, wisdom, and continuous growth.

Through meditation and reflection, we will harness this potent energy to release old versions of ourselves, center in the present moment, and plant seeds for the future. This sacred time invites us to align our inner world with the cycles of nature, fostering balance and harmony within, remembering our place within the great web of existence.

Let the healing melodies of Esmeralda Gómez Saavedra & Tupac Saavedra transport you into deep connection and renewal. Their extensive repertoire of healing music from Latin America, used in sacred ceremonies, carries the vibration of those ancestral circles. This music is infused with the energy of deep healing and transformation, helping us to reconnect with nature, ourselves, and the wisdom of our ancestors.

This is an invitation to listen, sing, move, and feel the vibrations—reminding us of the power of communal connection, presence, and shared intention.

Come as you are. Open your heart. Let us remember together.
