Sacred Cacao Ceremony and “Paqo Wachu” (Shaman’s Walk)

Mother Cacao can help you to gently open yourself to healing. She helps you to embrace all of yourself with Compassion, Forgiveness and Presence. In this progressive Shaman’s Walk we will focus on specific journey work with each Cacao Ceremony to help you peel back the layers and initiate deep clearing within your energy body. It is recommended that you attend all 4 events throughout the course of the year, but it is not mandatory.

In March we will open the Shaman’s walk with a journey deep into Mother Earth (Pachamama). With the help of the Mother Serpent (Sachamama), you dive deep into the past, asking Sachamama to show you how to shed your past, as she sheds her skin. With the support of Mother Cacao this deep journey helps you to move through the Shadows of your past with Kindness, and Non-judgement. You call back those pieces of your soul stuck in the past. This can help to free you from the energy of past events, past traumas, allowing you to move forward with clarity and compassion. This journey will be led with Sacred Drum, Rattle, Breath and Movement to guide you along your way.

June 15th we continue down the Shaman’s walk with a journey with Jaguar (Oterongo), Mother Moon (Mama Quilla) and of course Mama Cacao. Jaguar guides you to the Shadow energies of Anger, Fear and Death that have been holding you back from fully embracing life and joy.
Mama Quilla provides her gentle Light of Compassion and Forgiveness. In self compassion and forgiveness Mama Cacao helps you release nagging angers and fears bringing yourself into a deeper presence. This journey will be led by Sacred Drum, Rattle, Breath and Movement.

September 21st we come to discover Sweetness and Joy as we continue down the Paqo Wachu. Siwar Qenti (Hummingbird), the Machu Lacuna (ancestors), and Mother Cacao help you look into your Life Roles and Belief Systems, sorting out what is truly yours and what may no longer be serving you. The laughter and humor of the Machu Lacuna will ring through your journey as we add in the healing tones of sound chalices and gong, with, breath and movement to release those Roles and Beliefs that are no longer yours as you embrace your true Roles and Belief with Sweetness, Humor and Joy.

December 21st brings us full circle on the Paqu Wachu, as we embrace the Light within ourselves, allowing our full radiance to shine. Mama Cacao brings you into this final journey of the year to work with the power of Flight and Higher Perspective with Condor (Apuchen), Inti Tiata (Father Sun) and the Chaska (stars). You embrace your full self, the everyday human and the Light being as one, living both in your day-to-day reality and seeing from a Higher Perspective to gain new Understanding, Insight and Compassion for yourself and the world around you.

We will collectively create an offering of thanks for the journey which will be offered in Sacred Fire (Fire Ceremony TBD). Your journey with and into the Stars will be lead by the full sound healing experience, and you will again use breath and movement to embrace yourself and express the True Light Being that you are.

With each journey please bring something sacred to add to our Altar. You may also want a journal, an eye mask and any extra blankets etc to create your journey space. We provide, yoga mats, blankets and bolsters.
Please inform us of any food allergies so we can prepare the Cacao to meet everyone’s needs.

CEREMONY PREPARATION:
Please plan to stop consumption of caffeine at 12 pm on the day of ceremony. To deepen your connection to the Cacao I also would suggest fasting at least 4 hours prior to the ceremony.
