This has been a big year! I feel that needs a moment of honouring before we enter a new one; a moment to reflect on all that has happened both personally and globally, and consciously say goodbye to everything this year has represented.

Whether that be a moment of mourning and consciously grieving what fell away or was not lived; or a taking stock of where you now stand compared to the beginning of the year, what has shifted within your reality, and reflecting on unexpected blessings have you received this year, giving that honouring and gratitude also.

This will be a space to reflect on all that 2020 has brought, whether that be beauty or difficulty or everything in between, and find gratitude for the lessons we have received from going through this huge global initiation.

Once where we are NOW has been fully acknowledged, we will do a burning ceremony to release what we are leaving in 2020 and plant a vision of how we plan to move through 2021.

Cacao will help us drop that bit deeper and access the lessons we received, from a heart open space. Cacao is always optional.

Cacao is an ancient heart medicine the can help you to drop past the mind and into the heart, relax the nervous system, and access the inner world from a place of deep focus and relaxation. From this state of being you have access to the parts of yourself that are ready to be seen, loved, and worked with.

Cacao’s number one job is to open your heart and help you love yourself exactly where you’re at.

A Cacao Ceremony is a space of honouring the sacred in all things, the deeper meaning behind life's challenges, and honouring something greater than ourselves. By coming into co-creation with life and learning to see the gift in all situations, we can see how life is always guiding us towards our greatest growth, and learn to move though life with more ease and joy.

Now, let's talk CACAO for ceremony

THINGS TO NOTE
Ceremonial doses of Cacao can have adverse side effects for some people. If any of the below applies to you, know that it is still perfectly safe for you, but we would need to start you with a slightly lower dose.

ANTI-DEPRESSANTS
The MAOIs in cacao can interact with some anti-depressant medication so ask your doctor if it’s ok for you. It's not dangerous, just unpleasant as it can create a migraine. Let me know if you're taking any mood altering medication as I may need to alter your dose, but you can absolutely still join. In general it will only effect those on a high dose or mixture of medications, and all should be fine on a slightly lowered dose of Cacao.

PREGNANCY/BREASTFEEDING
Cacao is safe and really good for developing babies but your dose may need to be lowered, depending on the stage so let me know if that applies to you.

HEART CONDITIONS
Cacao increases your heart rate 20-30% so if this would be a problem for you let me know and I will alter your dose. It's an amazing heart medicine but you may need to start slower with it.
Please reach out if you have any questions.

I look forward to seeing you online soon,
Much love,

Paula
