Cacao Ceremony

What is Cacao? – Cacao is a fruit grown in tropical environments. It was discovered more than 5,000 years ago in Mesoamerica, where it was treated as sacred plant medicine and consumed in ceremonies. Today cacao is grown around the world and when it is processed, it can be used to make chocolate. Cacao is responsible for the signature taste of chocolate and it is also responsible for the happy feelings that we experience when we consume chocolate. Cacao has an abundant source of magnesium, iron, potassium, fiber and antioxidants. Cacao is celebrated for it’s heart opening qualities and for the fact that it makes most of us want to show up as better people in the world. Ceremonial cacao is served as a frothy beverage.

Our Cacao – The cacao that we will consume is 100% pure ceremonial grade cacao. It is ethically sourced from the Guatemalan highlands, and is part of an indigenous preservation project. This cacao is made by a family that has been working with cacao for generations; each batch is blessed with Mayan ancestral prayers. Our cacao is pure plant medicine packed with beautiful transformational energy.

***Please note* Due to the nature of making cacao ahead of time, we require a commitment by June 25th, 10 am.***

Please join us for a Cacao Ceremony, led by Masha Zolotarsky, where we will come together in community, connect with our heart a little bit deeper, and with each other.
100% Pure Ceremonial Cacao is a special & sacred plant medicine for the heart that helps us open up, heal gently, and invite more creativity, joy and love into our lives.
Cacao is not just a sacred plant medicine, it is also the #1 superfood! It has sooo many benefits that make us feel amazing. Masha will be serving Keith’s Cacao, which is known to be one of the most purest and potent cacaos — made with the outmost integrity.

• No caffeine intake for 6 hours before (and after) as it can be overstimulating

• No mind-altering substances the day of ceremony: alcohol, marijuana, psychedelics, etc

• No dairy products on the day of the ceremony, as they counteract the benefits of cacao and can cause stomach aches

• Fast 2-3 hours prior to ceremony for an optimal experience. Listen to your body. For low blood sugar eat whole foods or bring a snack. We will have some nuts and fruit available, but feel free to bring a Whole Foods snack for yourself. Cacao itself is quite filling.

About Masha:

Masha is a curious soul seeker, certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach,
Focalizing (Somatic) Practitioner, IFS-informed, Certified Yogi and Mystic.
She’s been drinking cacao as a self practice for about a year, experiencing its power and guidance, and more recently got the call from Mama Cacao to share this medicine with others and became a Keith’s Cacao Practitioner. It’s an honor and a pleasure to share the magic and miracles of pure cacao with the world, and she sees again and again the power that it has in the healing and transformation of those around her.

Through opening the heart, cacao enables us to hear our true self. It is a perfect opportunity for creating a space for each of you to start to feel your body and energy and celebrate yourself through the movement. We will gently transition into Blindfolded Movement Exploration - journey of somatic self-discovery, combination of Ecstatic Dance and Dynamic Meditation.


When sight is removed, our other senses naturally heighten. Things that were maybe hidden within our body, mind and spirit can come to the surface for us to become aware of. As we become aware we can transform and become more open to the Light.
By consciously putting our body in motion, we are offering ourselves a physiological reset, which can be deeply transforming and healing. It helps releasing mental, physical and emotional blockages and conditioning by shaking, moving and breathing. It is easier to explore our inner world. You will feel music in your body and can do yoga poses, crawl, sit, lay, roll, dance, explore, move and be with whatever comes to the surface.


The session will be safely guided by Inna Shapiro (https://www.livefullestlife.me/) with the music specially chosen for this journey.

We look forward to having a special time with you!

Change Your Story - Change Your Life
It is not about what you get but who you will become

Does it seem that life just happens to you? Are you curious sometimes who writes the story of your Life? Do you notice that stories you tell to yourself and about yourself are reflected by your experiences?
What if you have the power to write and live a new story? That is a better time than the end of the year to let go of what doesn’t benefit us anymore and create a New Story.

• We will
  Connect and write stories we want to let go (before event)

• Write a new story of who we truly are and who we want to become (before event)

• I will guide us through a transformational process. We will use the power of our imagination and playful movement improvisation. We will burn our old story and embody the new one

Movement is accompanied by beautiful music from around the world. I will share my playlist.

More details will be sent after the registration. If you pay for the event, a recording will be sent to you so you can practice and live the life of your dreams.
