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.

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).

***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

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.
