About Cacao Ceremony: Cacao Ceremonies have taken place for thousands of years as a way to explore within our spiritual practices and come together to open our hearts. They originally were performed by native tribes within Central and South America. Today Cacao is widely known for its health benefits ~ not only does it naturally elevate your mood & bring feelings of bliss and inner connection, but it is also a powerful source of antioxidants, magnesium, calcium, & iron. Cacao is a fruit that grows in tropical climates worldwide. It was first discovered at lease 5000 years ago and was quickly considered sacred by those who consumed it. Cacao brings a feeling of warmth, love, kindness, and mother-earth connection. This can be explained spiritually and scientifically. Raw Cacao contains chemicals that stimulate the brain to release serotonin, tryptophan, and dopamine, as well as a a chemical called Anandamide which is also known as the “bliss molecule". For thousands of years Cacao has been considered medicine and has been used in sacred rituals and ceremonies.
About Ecstatic Dance: During this event, you will be invited to connect with your primal and spiritual nature as we all move freely and express ourselves openly through music and freeform dance. Natalie's DJ sets are designed to take you on a fun and powerful inner journey. They incorporate a variety of genres including EDM, funk, reggae, folk, psytrance, and percussive tribal beats. The dance is a unique and personal experience for all who attend. For some it can be a fun, lighthearted celebration, for others a full-on workout or emotion release; it depends on what you want to get out of it! Dance is medicinal, and as we tune into our bodies, we awaken new and exciting parts of ourselves.
