This phase is considered a period when the veil between the physical and spiritual realms becomes thin, making it an ideal time for transformation and spiritual growth. Dive deeper into your inner self under the full moon’s influence during a potent cacao ceremony. This ceremony cultivates greater openness and presence, helping you understand and release what may be blocking your growth. Cacao ceremonies offer clarity and enable profound self-exploration.

It encourages creative expression, allowing exploration of creativity and novel forms of self-expression.
