Join Char Willingham for a heart-opening Sonic Cacao Circle, a soulful experience that blends sacred ritual, sound meditation, and gentle movement. Ceremonial-grade cacao, rooted in ancient tradition, has long been honored for its ability to open the heart, enhance clarity, and deepen spiritual connection. In this immersive journey, you’ll sip cacao with intention, followed by mindful movement and a guided meditative soundscape designed to awaken your senses and invite inner reflection. Set in a supportive and nurturing space, this communal gathering fosters connection, both within yourself and among those around you. Experience the powerful synergy of cacao and sound as tools for healing, grounding, and awakening. Leave feeling renewed, centered, and more deeply connected to your inner wisdom and the collective energy of the community.

 

What to bring:

Please bring a water bottle, a journal and dress in comfortable attire; layers are encouraged for warmth. Though this is not an active yoga class, you will be invited to engage in some gentle movement. You’ll also be invited to lie down for part of the session (Savasana). Participation in group activities is entirely optional; feel free to simply listen, observe, and receive in whatever way feels right for you. This space is inclusive, trauma-informed, and judgment-free. Please come as you are.

 

Contraindications:

Cacao contains a mild natural stimulant that may impact individuals differently. While small amounts are generally considered safe for most people, including those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking SSRIs or MAOIs, or managing heart conditions, high blood pressure, or caffeine sensitivity. It’s important to consult your healthcare provider regarding any potential side effects or interactions. Cacao should be avoided if you have a chocolate allergy or are following a fasting protocol. Always consult your healthcare professional to determine whether cacao is suitable for you.
