Cacao Ceremony & Ecstatic Dance – April 28th

In this meeting you will have the opportunity to experience with us a cacao ceremony,
an ancestral ritual used by the Mayans and Aztecs. In this ceremony, with this sacred
plant, we invite you to a sensorial experience with chanting and this whole ritual
allows you to open your heart, expand your consciousness and connect with your true
nature.
After this reconnection and opening with cacao, it’s time to celebrate with Ecstatic
Dance.
Ecstatic Dance has been practiced throughout history, since classical times, by the
Greek maenads, followers of the god Dionysus, in the practice of shamanism, together
with rhythmic drums are used to access non-ordinary states of consciousness within
spiritual practices. And in many other traditions we have evidence of this practice.
Gabrielle Roth, founder of 5Rythms, was one of the pioneers to recreate this
movement in the 70s of the last century. Currently, and essentially at the beginning of
the 21st century, it was spread to various communities worldwide, with countless
variants throughout the western world.
It is an international movement where you dance freely, in a space without alcohol and
substances, where participants increase their energy through movement and
surrender to different rhythms, without the need to follow specific steps, they move
freely as the music takes them to various parts of their being, to trance and ecstasy.
