From Jennifer:
Open your heart with cacao!
Please join me in-person for cacao ceremony including brief history of cacao, how cacao is made and benefits of cacao. We will make intentions, sip together and experience the benefits of cacao. I’ve been drinking cacao for over two years and it has helped me on my healing journey and has become ritual. Looking to sharing this beautiful plant medicine!

$5 donation to cover costs is appreciated but not required

What to bring:
Your favorite mug, water, an item to share for the alter (which you will bring home), intention, yoga mat, pillow or block to sit on, if you like to prop up, your curiosity.

Please, no perfumes or body scented body oils.
Please remember: Do not to drink caffeine at all this day and not to eat 2 hours before. Stay hydrated!

Cautions:
If you are on MAOI antidepressants cacao contains tyramine which may cause interaction.
