Sacred Cacao Healing Circle

Join us in this special event of rhythm and unity at our special fundraiser event, hosted by the Drumming Circle Sisters in Ventura County. Join us as we come together to support the cacao gatekeepers of Tabasco, Mexico, specifically the Yocot'an Tribe, in their noble efforts.

All proceeds from this event will be donated towards empowering the Yocot'an Tribe and their sacred cacao project. Let's make a difference and show our solidarity with these guardians of ancient traditions. Together, we can make a meaningful impact!

Note: Cacao is NOT considered to be psychoactive in the same way as substances like psychedelics or hallucinogens. 

In the context of a "ceremonial" setting, cacao is often used for its heart-opening properties. Participants in cacao circles typically experience a sense of relaxation, emotional connection, and heightened awareness.
