Sound Bath & Reiki is back and we are starting off the fall series with our popular Cacao Ceremony! For the next 7 months we will move through the chakra system as the theme for each bath. For September, we will honor the Root chakra through Cacao. Cacao is a very grounding plant medicine, allowing us to keep our feet firmly planted while we open the heart and the mind.

Join Tammi Kapitanski from Remedy Within, Leslie Coshun from Infinity Reiki Healing & Strix & Stones & Laurel Ziemienski from Ananda Healing Arts as we set the intention to spread our roots throughout our inner self, nurturing our primal needs for safety, security and survival.

For the first half hour Leslie will have her gorgeous handmade, Reiki infused crystal bracelets available and Laurel will have Cacao for purchase, and Tammi will have an assortment beautiful root chakra crystals for sale from Remedy Within. The event will get underway first with a Cacao Ceremony, then we will cap the afternoon off with our ever popular Sound Bath & Reiki.

PLEASE NOTE THE SILK SWINGS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS EVENT

What is a Cacao Journey? Cacao is an ancient, sacred plant medicine brought to life by the indigenous Mayans thousands of years ago, it has beautiful life-affirming qualities that support physical and psychological well-being. It is the pure form of chocolate, free from sugar, milk and heavy processing, which allows it to retain all of its original minerals and nutrients.

Drinking a warm cup of cacao in ceremony as a community will help open and connect to the heart, embody feelings of gratitude, feel more grounded in the body, and deepen the meditative experience. The cacao you will be drinking has been hand grown, harvested, and molded by small, local Mayan collectives in Guatemala, using organic farming methods as they infuse it from seed to cup with pure intention. The drink will be made with water and warming spices such as cinnamon, cayenne and cardamom and will be drunk together, in community before the sound bath with a guided meditation.

This amplified experience will help to activate the body's natural healing system. You will leave feeling deeply relaxed, renewed and physically and mentally aligned.
