With all female facilitators, this Ecstatic Dance has manifested with the intention to bring the community together (everyone welcome!!) within the sacred container of the divine feminine through cacao ceremony, ecstatic dance, sound journey, and sacred song.

Ecstatic Dance is an empowering experience of authentic expression/freeform dance, movement, or stillness. By engaging our senses and listening to our bodies, we connect to others and shape a consciousness that extends beyond our own.

Cacao:
Cacao has been used in ancient ceremonies by South Americans (the Maya) for thousands of years. It has an active ingredient in it called theobromine—which can be translated to, “Food of the Gods.”

The word cacao actually came from the Maya word Ka’kau, and the Maya word Chokola’j—which means to drink chocolate together. The cacao plant is seen as a medicinal plant, and has been used for a number of spiritual, medicinal and ceremonial purposes throughout history.

Cacao ceremony is rooted in helping to re-balance the energies within us through opening the heart, connecting with higher self, mental clarity, healing, joy, and restoring good health. Cacao enables us to hear our true self, work through blockages, dissolve any pent up negative energy, and help us align with who we truly are.

We look forward to dancing with you soon!
