Cacao Ceremony
For more than 5,000 years the Mayans have known Cacao as a sacred medicine. Today, Cacao Circles are rituals dedicated to personal renewal and expansion. Cacao is considered "the drink and seed of the offerings" for its components and benefits, giving you the tools to find your inner healing and clarity.
Guided by: Abuelas Yolanda Porcayo Palma and Guadalupe (Lupita) Lare Tovar   from Mexico. The abuelas carry the wisdom and healing of the MEXICA traditions, They are traditional medicine women, herbalist, acupuncturist, massage therapist of Nahuatl tradition, as well Emotional Release "Hand on Healing" practices. These modalities have been used and passed down from generations to generations, to cure physical sickness, maintain health and restore the ethereal field. Both Yolanda and Lupita have been studying with numerous teachers and have been walking the path for many years.
