Cacao Ceremony w/ Paul Grosso & Masin Ouksel

  • Ahimsa School of Sound Healing 441 South Boulevard Oak Park, IL, 60302 United States (map)

Come out and experience a heart-centered ceremony to bring the community back together after these hard times!

The Cacao Ceremony will begin with a water blessing ceremony, saluting the four directions, then we will share what we want to let go of and also to bring into our life.

Paul then serves the cacao as he sings traditional cacao medicine songs. From there we will move and dance to activate the medicine, get our hearts pumping, bodies moving to have fun, celebrate life to the music of Paul's beat machine, didgeridoo, drums, jaw harp, native American flutes shakers, and strings. After breaking a sweat, we lay down and do 15 minutes of breathwork and end with a sound journey.

We close with a share and leave with our hearts more open, some new friends, and a deeper connection to our body, mind, and spirit!

Considerations:
1. Come on an empty stomach
2. Stay off Caffeine/stimulants day of
3. Bring a yoga mat/something to sit on to be comfortable

4. Bring an open heart and mind

Paul is certified in music sound healing having completed a 200 hour training in Spain. He has learned from different medicine men from all over the world, and he continues to be a student surrendering to the knowledge of the plants and wisdom of the elders/indigenous tribes he follows!

Participant Testimonials:

So much of yoga is an individual practice where you meet yourself on your mat in a group of people, but this cacao ceremony was meeting a group of people and sharing individual intention in a collective. I felt truly connected to everyone involved, and felt energetically lighter and happier. I had no idea what to expect with this being my first cacao ceremony, but I was so delighted that I participated and I truly look forward to the next one. It was a unique experience that felt enhanced by how we sat in a circle, voicing our intentions, and the energy each of us brought to the event. I truly loved it! It was healing, magical, and special to have such a communal experience, particularly after this year.
