IXCACAO: Flower Full Moon & Cacao Ceremony & Sound Bath, May 25th, Pranama Kallio

Journey with the spirit of Cacaocita and resonance of sacred sounds

🌸 FLOWER FULL MOON 🌕

Throughout eons of time, peoples across the world have worshipped the moon and gathered to celebrate it.  Each phase of the moon’s cycle has a unique visual characteristic and spiritual meaning. Full moons represent completion, fulfilment and fruition, whereas new moons represent initiation and new beginnings. This Flower Full Moon in May signifies a time of blossoming, renewal, and the beauty of nature in full bloom.

Traditionally the full moon and the new moon are considered to be the most potent phases to align with the moon. This specific Full Moon falls in the sign of Sagittarius. This brings forth an expansive and adventurous energy. Sagittarius, a fire sign ruled by Jupiter, encourages exploration, optimism, and a quest for higher understanding. This lunar phase amplifies a sense of freedom, a desire for truth, and a willingness to embrace new experiences.

🌺 ALTAR FLOWER MANDALA

Participants are invited to bring flowers for the Altar Flower Mandala, enhancing the ceremonial space with the vibrant energy of nature. This is not mandatory.

☕ WHY CACAO?

Cacao originates from the Mayas and Aztecs in Central and South America and has been used for thousands of years to heal and connect with the divine. She has been used as a medicine for both physical and spiritual healing and is becoming popular in yoga communities worldwide because of her powerful ability to assist us in gently opening up our hearts and awakening us to our true nature. La Cacaocita helps us in releasing what no longer serves us and clarify our desires, as well as in connecting with ourselves. Ceremonial cacao comes from a rare bean that makes up less than 5% of the world’s cacao production – the criollo bean.

Disclaimer: I learned about Cacao during my years living in Nayarit, Mexico (2012-2018) and want to share the magical experience of ceremonial cacao due to its heart opening properties. I believe we can all heal and learn from this plant, however it’s important to understand the history and legacy of cacao ceremonies as Western people. Cacao ceremonies originally served as religious rituals for the ancient Native Mesoamerican cultures and I will talk about the history a little bit in the beginning of the event. I am honoured to be working with this ancient plant medicine and respect its legacy and my wish is to serve you by opening a space for deeper connection, heart expansion and wisdom from within with aid of this sacred plant.

🎵 WHY SOUND?

The knowledge that sound affects the health and state of the mind and body is not new. Sound has been utilized in many cultures for thousands of years as a healing tool. A Sound bath is a deeply-immersive, full-body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to invite gentle yet powerful therapeutic and restorative processes to nourish, rejuvenate and balance your mind, body and spirit.

🤎 IXCACAO

IxCacao, the Mayan goddess, embodies the moon's mystique, fertility's grace, and healing's touch. Her presence enriches life's cycles, nurturing growth and guiding healers. Invoked with deep respect, she bestows her magic upon prayers, weaving harmony between earth and cosmos. As the guardian of abundance and chocolate's alchemy, she imparts transformation's essence, illuminating the path to healing and creation.

ABOUT THIS EVENT

The event will start with the drinking of the cacao within a ceremonial space for us to land physically, energetically and mentally. Cacao increases blood flow to the heart and is a beautiful and gentle, heart healing medicine that can help bring clarity where we are feeling unclear, stuck or out of balance. We will then allow the medicine to further travel into our heart space through a few heart opening poses, and lastly we will drop into our sound healing journey for receiving. Finally there’s a chance to pick an intuitive message from the various oracle decks.
