James, Peter, Taina, and Monique are extreme lovers of movement and sacred earth medicine and cacao, and they will be integrating both here in Vista for this day long experience. There will be lots of meditation, movement, and integration that will help strengthen your connection to self, others, this planet, and even the cosmos.
Please make sure you read this entire description, there are many important aspects that you need to be aware of before attending this event.
The first and most important thing is to please make sure you arrive on time: Doors open at 10:00am setup, and 10:30am official start time. Doors will close for this event, and If you arrive late you may not get in, and there are no refunds.
Please note – you must bring your own pillow or something to sit on to ensure you are comfortable during the ceremony.
Please come wearing layers, to be prepared for the temperature of your body to change, you can get either very hot or very cold throughout the ceremony. Especially since we will be moving for a good portion of it, so please wear something to move in with ease. We recommend socks and/or slippers to keep your feet warm and cozy.
Please make sure you wear no perfume or cologne to the experience.
Please make sure to bring a reusable water bottle, we ask not to bring disposable/single use water bottles if possible.
The dietary recommendation we give is to try an avoid eating after 8am. Having a full stomach for this may weaken the experience.
Also you may want to take some time to focus on your prayers and intentions, the more you put your mind and heart into this experience the more profound it will be.
We also recommend bringing a journal and pens for thoughts and feelings to be remembered.
Please bring a snack or two to share for after the circle. We recommend fruit or vegetables and if possible and GF snacks as well.
More context about the cacao portion of this experience:
Chocolate as you’ve never experienced it before – as a medicine in a group setting to create connection in community and become clearer about what really matters to your heart

In the ceremony there is a chance to re-connect to your heart’s wisdom to set intentions of let go and also of bringing in new ways of being. In this warm space you are held and nurtured and will experience a heightened sense of connectedness to everyone else around you, others in your life who are not present and to the sacredness of all that surrounds you.
The drink used in our ceremony is made from 100% raw ceremonial grade cacao. It contains a blend of spices and super foods and is suitable for vegans.
The ceremony itself is several hours, but the effects stay around in a more subtle way for a few hours after this and you can tune into the wisdom by reconnecting to a quiet space.
Some lethargy and emotional movement may occur later after a ceremony as there is an integration and rest period – this is a good time to allow all old emotions to just pass through like a breeze as deep patterns are released. Nurture and be easy on yourself.
