Spring Equinox: Cacao Ceremony

3/21/2026, 10:30 a.m. – noon

As daylight lengthens, the equinox becomes a beacon of new possibilities on the horizon—a signal that change, growth, and renewal are approaching after winter’s quiet, dormant months. It’s a time to honor the Earth’s rhythms, align with its energy, and use that momentum to reflect on the past, reconnect with what truly matters, and reframe intentions for the months ahead.

Join us for a Spring Equinox cacao Ceremony designed to nurture body, mind, and spirit.

✨We’ll begin with a calming meditation to steady the breath and quiet the mind, creating a spacious inner landscape.

✨Next, we’ll pour ceremonial cacao and embark on a personal journey to explore its history and its reflective, heart-opening qualities.

✨We will then transition into restorative yoga, offering gentle, supported poses that release tension and restore balance, inviting a sense of renewal to unfold within.

✨The session will culminate with a sound bath using crystal bowls, whose pure tones and vibrations aim to harmonize the nervous system and lift the heart.

Let cacao together with meditation, restorative movement, and resonant sound guide you to welcome spring’s energy with clarity, grounding, and renewed intention.
