At The Heart Of Cacao, we offer different workshops, full day events as well as retreats that are all centered around a cacao ceremony and many other wonderful modalities that further our healing and connection to ourselves and others. The events are an invitation to take time out for ourselves, dive deep into ourselves, be nourished, as well as connect to our innate healing capacity and inner healer
Cacao is a wonderful, gentle but nevertheless powerful plant medicine that can heighten our sensitivity, awareness as well as connect us deeper to our heart. The events are held and facilitated by two highly skilled, trained and experienced female therapists, Bairbre Crowley and Lisa Brinkmann. At our events, some of other modalities offered alongside the cacao are yoga (especially restorative, womb and tantra yoga), meditation and pranayama, transformative breathwork, ecstatic dance, sound baths, shamanic journeying, nature walks and ceremonies, sharing and integration circles, and many more. About Cacao:
Cacao has been used as a sacred drink for thousands of years to connect with the divine. In a ceremony, cacao is used in an intentional, sacred way and respected as a plant medicine. It increases the blood flow to the brain, creating more mental agility, awareness and focus and is known to be a "heart-opener". Cacao is a powerful plant medicine and has many amazing, life-affirming qualities that support health and psychological well-being. Unlike coffee, which contains a high-concentration of caffeine that stimulates the nervous system and can give you an alert and jittery “buzz”, ceremonial cacao contains an abundance of theobromine that stimulates the cardiovascular system and can give you the feeling of a warm and uplifting “hum”
Ceremonial cacao is made from whole bean, organic cacao. These beans undergo a fermentation process necessary for cultivating their flavor profile and activating certain natural compounds
