Awakening to the Light Moving Meditation and Sound Healing

Please join us for a special celebration of Full Moon and Spring Equinox; time to awaken from winter slumber, get out of our cocoon and Awaken to the Light.

Moving meditation is a physical and spiritual practice that connects mind, body, heart and spirit through expressive movement and free style conscious dance. It is facilitated and guided rather than taught. It is a practice of letting go and allowing your body to move in the natural flow.

It is a movement which transcends dance; movement as the medicine, the meditation and the reflection of life. Together we will let go of layers which don't serve us anymore, lay our masks down, and dance till we become more aware and conscious of our true, genuine selves.

Dancing allows the body to feel and express what is inside through the movement but not thinking, movement and then feeling. We follow the body in its capacity to take us home to what is inside.

In this way dance is healing because human life is shaped by the feeling and experience that move through us. As we allow feeling to move through us we restore the body's natural ability to have sensations and use this ability to fully experience life. Our bodies are designed to feel. To dance is to restore this ability.

Movement naturally quiets the mind and it is the key that opens the door to hearing the voice of the heart and receiving our inner knowing.

6:30 - 7:30 - Ecstatic Dance

7:30 - 8:00 - Meditation and closing circle

after 8:00 pm we can stay for tea and conversation

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 Facilitator - Kim Copeland

works with cacao daily and has spent time in the community in Guatemala where this sacred plant is harvested. Cacao is deeply rooted in the Mayan tradition and Kim is a student of the Mayan Cosmovision, endeavoring to carry these wisdom teachings back to our community.

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.

Ecstatic Dance will be led by Inna Shapiro (https://bio.site/LiveFullestLife).

It is a free-form, not structured dance space. Ecstatic Dance is an inner/outer journey, an authentic moving meditation where true Presence is experienced. It creates a direct body-mind-spirit connection, allowing our body and inner guidance to be our own teachers. It's about being fully present, transparent and real with oneself and others, discovering our own true dance, using this movement and energetic experience to release stuck patterns in our bodies, emotions and mind and being able to experience true union with the divine as One.

With humility and mindfulness, we invite you to reflect upon your cultural context surrounding your engagement with these practices.

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

Please register by sending a pre-payment of $44 to Venmo @Inna-Shapiro-4 http://account.venmo.com/u/Inna-Shapiro-4 or send email to embracelifecommunity@gmail.com

Cacao Ceremony and Ecstatic Dance (blindfolded)

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.
Here is a link to read about the amazing benefits of cacao: Cacao Benefits: 5 Reasons to Start Drinking Ceremonial Cacao Today - Keith's Cacao (https://www.keithscacao.com/blogs/keiths-cacao-blog/cacao-benefits-5-reasons-to-start-drinking-ceremonial-cacao-today)
With each cup of cacao, you set an intention, so bring an intention with you or let it appear in the moment, whatever is present for you in your life where you would like healing or guidance.

* Please note*
Due to the nature of making cacao ahead of time, we require a commitment by October 21st, 9pm. Please save your spot by sending a prepayment of $44 to Masha via Venmo or PayPal (friends/family).
Venmo: @freemasha
Paypal: masha@freemasha.com (mailto:masha@freemasha.com)

***Please see important ceremony info below***

  • 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.

***Please message Masha private if you have any of the following***
if you are on any MAOI-based or SSRI-based anti-depressants
if you have any heart conditions
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding

What to bring to ceremony:
* Come with an intention! It can be anything that’s alive for you in your life
* Journal and a pen
* For the altar: bring a sacred object (you will take it back with you) or an offering (ex: flower, fruit, tobacco)
* Water bottle
* Snack, if you’d like
* Bring blankets/pillow for the drum journey if you would like to lay down and get comfortable
* Wear comfy clothing

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.
Learn more about Masha: www.freemasha.com (http://www.freemasha.com/)
You’re welcome to join her Adventurous Souls Community here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/955238382023327

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!

Dancing allows body to feel and express what is inside through the movement but not thinking, movement and then feeling. We follow the body in its capacity to take us home to what is inside. In this way dance is healing because human life is shaped by the feeling and experience that move through us. As we allow feeling to move through us we restore body natural ability to have sensations and use this ability to fully experience life. Our bodies are designed to feel. To dance is to restore this ability.

Practice open to ALL, no need to be a dancer; just be yourself!

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?

  • 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.
