Cacao Activation - Truckee, CA

As we enter into a period of seasonal darkness, we are invited to look at and embrace all aspects of ourselves; including our own darkness. The theme for this Cacao Activation is inspired by Kintsugi, a Japanese term meaning “to join with gold”. This activation will remind us to stay open & optimistic when things fall apart and to celebrate the flaws and missteps of life. Feel the support to crack yourself open and love all of your pieces in this safe container. Because after all, the cracks are where the light gets in.

Join us for a heart centered evening of connection, cacao, somatic breathwork, and embodied movement. You are invited to drop out of your mind and into your body, open up the potential for release, clarity, realizations, surrender and access to deeper wisdom. 

All are welcome as we come together to honor the darkness and join with gold. 

WHAT IS CACAO:

Cacao comes from the edible seed of the cacao tree, which is native to tropical regions such as Central and South America. After cacao beans are harvested from the tree, they are pulled from the shells and left in the sun to naturally ferment and dry. Cacao is known for its impressive nutrient profile, and many even call it a “superfood,” as it is the most nutrient dense live food there is. Cacao has 40 TIMES the heart-protective antioxidants of blueberries. It is one of the highest concentrations of magnesium in any natural food source. It is the highest plant-based source of iron, and has more calcium than cow’s milk. It supports brain function, cardiovascular health, is anti aging, and so much more. 

It is a sacred plant medicine that has been cultivated, harvested, and used in ceremony by Mayans for thousands of years. Beyond the powerful health benefits, cacao is a heart opening medicine, and allows us to tap into an elevated state of being. To put it simply, it’s like a hug from the inside out.
