Discover the heart opening + grounding medicine of mama cacao with Annabelle Jardine, a cacaoista + shamanic ceremonialist from the South West.
Join Annabelle for an evening circle to experience the uplifting and loving spirit of ixcacao, goddess of chocolate as we share in her stories, her origins and journey with her ceremonially to receive insight and guidance upon our path.
Cacao is a delicious, raw chocolate drink associated with the divine feminine and known as ‘the food of the gods’ with ceremonial origins dating back thousands of years in south and Central America. Tales are told of her being sent out to the western world to open the hearts of the people so that we may listen to earth and embody love.
Cacao can support us in tending to our heart space, ground our energy and activate bliss and love within ourselves. She gently shows us the portal to our heart, to our truth and helps facilitate emotional healing.
