Magical 5Rhythms® Cacao Ceremony with guest teacher Tomasz Szymocha
CACAO CEREMONY
We are going to drink the "drink of the gods" – Cacao, and we are going to dance.
We will open our hearts thanks to a magical journey and we will dance together the wave of 5 Rhythms®.
The Cacao ceremony brings purification through joy, fun, presence and bliss. Cacao is a sacred Mayan plant used in ceremonial rites. This plant teaches us how to go deeper into our hearts, minds and the heart of Mother Earth to rediscover the true healing power that is within each of us. We are going to consume about 30-40 g of specially prepared pure raw cacao.
5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement practice created by Gabrielle Roth. This practice is rooted in a deep truth: when you bring your body into motion, the soul will heal itself.
When you bring your body into motion, the soul will heal itself. The mind calms down when the body is recognized, befriended, and danced out. When the body is in motion, it becomes pure energy, flow – it becomes life itself.
Movement awakens infinite creativity within us, and through dancing together, a connection and sense of unity are created: with the tribe and with the universe.
Ready for transformation? Dance it out! Everything that's inside you.
