Ancestral Roots | Cacao: Bean Roasting, Ceremony, Sound & Energy Healing

Simone (he/his), upholds a special relationship with the Elements and Mother Earth, Pachamama. This relationship stems from many lifetimes of exploring, rituals and undertaking plant medicine ceremonies, following Shamanic Ancient traditions and the rites of passage, honouring his plant and humans teachers.He came into his body in the Northern Hemisphere of the Planet, in a little city surrounded by mountains, rivers, forest and wildlife. Simone has been moving around since a young age looking for a place to call home, when he finally realised that this place is within him, in the heart centre-Anahata.Simone draws upon different tools in his offerings - reiki energy healing, guided meditations, Kundalini kriyas, pranayama, sound journeys and sacred Cacao ceremonies. The connection between Simone and Cacao is profound, full of respect and reverence.

Kangaroo Ground

You're invited to join Fipe, Simone and Jasmine, in sacred communion with their long time plant medicine teacher - Mama Cacao or as Samoan traditions call her "Koko" - blood.As Cacao becomes widespread through our spiritual communities it is important to acknowledge that often Cacao is shared in ways disconected from ritual or reciprocity to the communities who have cultivated their medicine for generations. This is a <a href="https://gofund.me/6a9fd078b" title="https://gofund.me/6a9fd078b" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">fundraising event</a> where 100% of proceeds will be donated to rehabilitate the Living Koko Samoan Cacao plantations and support their community custodians devastated by fire.In a journey of Ancestral Roots, you will be reminded of what it feels like to ground into the gentle holding of Mother Nature in deep reverence, harmony and stewardship of all living beings. <blockquote>May you remember the old ways of sitting in community by the fire, feet on the land and feel a deeper meaning of the Sacredness of Cacao.</blockquote> What you will experience:<ul><li>Hear of the ancestral ways of Living Koko and the homeland traditions of the Samoan people - the custodians of the land where the Cacao plants grows. Communing with "Koko" signifies communing with people and land as one - interconnected and symbiotic.</li><li>Freshly roast cacao beans by the open fire, grind and turn them into ceremonial cacao to drink in ceremony together</li><li>Sit in Ceremony and receive a deeply loving sound and energy healing journey amongst heartled community</li></ul>

<h3>Cacao bean roasting + brew creation</h3>The afternoon will begin with sitting by the fire and connecting with one another + the land through the true ways of creating the Cacao brew from scratch.No already pre-made powders ready to go. Roasting the beans, making the paste and then the collective brew for the Ceremony. Feeling, smelling and allowing Cacao to envelop us body and spirit - an art of love, patience and devotional effort.We will sit and learn with Fipe, the custodian of ancestral Samoan knowldege and creator of Living Koko, where she'll guide us through the old ways of her motherland, like they have been connecting with Cacao medicine for centuries. <h3>Sacred Cacao Ceremony</h3>Simone and Fipe will open the space container with a cacao blessing, honoring all the lands and the ancestors. With cacao in our body vessel, be ready to nestle up meanwhile sounds and spoken words will guide us into a deep meditative state.Cacao is a potent plant medicine which opens the heart space and allows the unveiling of the heart’s shadows. Bliss, joy, love, peace, sadness or a deep sense of stillness may be experienced.<h3> </h3><h3>Sound + Energy Healing Meditation Journey</h3>Jasmine will guide us into a live-channeled energy healing meditation to activate our heart's Electromagnetic Resonance Field. We will work to integrate the energy field of Mother Earth’s core and our Higher Self - bridging our earthly self and our spiritual self to feel centred and whole.Then be lovingly held, physically, emotionally and energetically, through the vibrational healing frequencies of crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, Shamanic medicine and ocean drums, wind chimes, flutes and handpan.The group container will be charged with Universal Reiki frequencies and healing touch.
