Illuminate what needs tending within you to live your most aligned, joyful, and purpose filled life.
Commune with the spirits of mushrooms and cacao in a sacred container.
Appropriate for beginners and experienced plant medicine people alike.
Cacao and mushrooms are a powerful combination that can take you on a visionary journey where the heart and mind intertwine. Both of these sacred plants have roots in Mesoamerican cultures where it is traditionally thought that cacao opens the heart and mushrooms open the mind. The Nahuatl word for hallucinogenic mushrooms - teonanácatl - translates to “flesh of the gods,” while their word for cacao - cacáhuatl - means “food of the gods.”
What to expect:
We will be sitting with a ceremonial dose of cacao and a micro to small dose of mushrooms. Ariel will work with you individually to determine the appropriate dose of mushrooms for you.
You’ll be guided deep within through the heartbeat of the drum and journey with the plant and fungi as you receive Icaros (healing songs) and medicine songs.
We’ll ground ourselves to close with a meal and sharing circle.
Located in a private outdoor oasis in Swampscott.
