Cacao Ceremony
with Carlos Mundalah Epifania
Tuesday November 5th, 7-9pm
Exchange £35
Carlos was last here earlier this Spring and guided some of our community through the most beautiful sound healing and journey with the medicine plant Mother Cacao.
Working with the plant Cacao helps us to heal and open our hearts and live more fully in a state of joy and bliss. Cacao as the mother holds us in safety, she helps us to activate our creativity and voices in our uniqueness and authenticity, trusting that we are perfect as we are.
Carlos is a musician and renowned teacher in Mexico; as well as having held around 250 cacao ceremonies, he works with his elders (Don Jesus who is 102 years old) and is a central figure in Aztec Warrior Dances at the pyramids in Mexico, a musician, singer, ecstatic dance DJ and a very happy family man. Carlos is a close friend and teacher of mine and I deeply respect his work.
People find a frequency of love, awe and joy after being with him in ceremony, so if you are in need of this then please do come, he is just magic and full of love and happiness. If you would like to come and drink Cacao with Carlos, listen to his beautiful music and be a part of a traditional and gentle healing ceremony, please let me know at either:

Balancing upside down is achievable for everyone in time.

A warming flow to prepare your body for your journey upside down.
Understanding our anatomy: how your body moves upside down.
