Return to Body & Heart: Cacao Ceremony

Join us at the Brooklyn Apothecary on Thursday July 23rd at 7pm for a 90-minute cacao ceremony designed to bring you out of your head and back into your body — to feel connected to yourself and others, at ease, and present with life.  

This is a guided sensory experience weaving ceremonial cacao, breath, gentle movement, scent, sound, touch, taste, and visualization — supporting nervous system regulation, heart connection, and embodied presence.

This ceremony is for you if you feel:

• disconnected from your body and caught in overthinking
• like you are always "on" and rarely have space to simply be
• tired of overthinking and craving a deeper sense of ease
• curious about cacao as a heart-opening, somatic ritual
• ready to feel more connected to yourself, your body, and the people around you

Ready to be more present, and feel alive again?

What's included:

• Ceremonial cacao elixir by Soul & Spirit, featuring Soul — an air-roasted cacao with gentle, feminine energy
• House blend herbal tea
• A sensory immersion through essential oils, sound, breath, touch, taste, and guided visualization
• Gentle somatic movement and nervous system regulation
• Heart-centered connection practices
• 15% off Anima Mundi products to shop in store
