 Cacao + Sacred Sound:
A Prayer for Our Ancestors  


They say the veil between worlds is at its thinnest this time of year. And so it is we gather around the New Moon of October, just before Samhain/Halloween/Dia De los Muertos, to honor our ancestral lineages. We are calling in the support of our plant allies Cacao and Black Spruce Essential Oil, to assist with activating the wisdom of our ancestors as well as honoring them. Alexa will offer a guided meditation to connect to our four lines of ancestry, while Nicole will provide a sound bath to enhance the experience. We will then shift into integration, and share any messages received.

Morning Cacao Ceremony:
​Bijas Breathwork & Bliss 
Cacao supports and protects your cardiovascular system as a rich source of antioxidants. The theobromine stimulates your heart and at the same time dilutes your blood vessels to regulate your blood pressure. Anandamide in cacao supports a sense of connection and bliss! These molecules increase the flow of oxygen through your body. 


Ceremony creates a sacred container for self exploration and acceptance. Pairing these elements of cacao and ceremony with intention breath and sound magnifies a sense of vibrance and wellness for the whole bodymind system. Plus- its fun!! 

This ceremony will pair the plant medicine with sounding with Bijas, also known as the seed sounds of each chakra. to open up the portal to great spirit. We will utilize breath to access our prana or chi body and sound to explore our expansion. We will end the workshop feeling emboldened and uplifted. ​

Kambo Ceremony

The sacred Amazonian medicine of Kambo is rapidly gaining recognition for being one of the world's most effective natural medicines for strengthening the immune system, detoxifying the body, and lifting the haze of negative thoughts and patterns that can sometimes obscure our path.  The source of Kambo is a waxy secretion of Phillomedusa Bicolor - a canopy dwelling tree frog who lives in the upper Amazonian rainforests.  The Kambo experience is a rebirth - a step outside the comfort zone to reveal a new understanding of self, a deeper sense of well-being, and the clarity to see the changes we must make to thrive in this challenging world.  With space holding and integration counseling provided by Alexa, this ceremony is facilitated by IAKP practitioner Luke DeStefano.  To visit his site, and to see if Kambo is right for you,  go to www.kambocura.net.

LOCATION, DATE & TIME:  Group ceremonies are held each Sunday at 9:30am at our home in Narragansett, RI.  Private sessions are available upon request.
INVESTMENT: $90 - $135 (Pre-registration and deposit required.
