Earth Offerings: Ancestral cacao in SoHo

In this workshop we will receive the medicine of ceremonial cacao in observation  of the Mayan Lunar calendar or Cholq’ij. In attunement with this living calendar,  we are connected to the energies of 3 Ix, an energy which calls forth the wisdom of  Earth’s sacred altars and Divine Feminine nature. Together we will assemble a  communal altar with natural materials in a group meditation as an offering to  Mother Earth. We will then journey- guided by the vibration of the drum, as we  connect to the medicine of our inner universe.  

Coming together in ceremony is an ancient tradition which weaves, intention, togetherness, cosmological alignment, and deeper resonance, presenting  opportunities for authentic engagement and healing through the wisdom of  ancestral practices and human spirituality.  

Cacao is a medicine held sacred by the Maya whose connection to this plant spans  over 5,000 years, during which time, they have cultivated a profound relationship  with the energy and spirit of Cacao. They receive her as an offering brought forth  from another dimension, we receive this medicine in recognition of and reverence  to the Mayan Cosmology, Community, and Culture.
