Heart Medicine : A Ceremonial Cacao Circle | Raíces que Viajan

A sensory cacao ceremony from Ecuador — connection, sound, and ritual. Beginners welcome. Hosted by ExplorArte × Mamá Uma. Join us for an evening of connection, presence, and heart-opening ritual. Cacao: Heart Medicine is a sensory experience built around ceremonial-grade Ecuadorian cacao — not the sugary chocolate you know, but the raw, plant-based version that has been used for generations to open the heart and bring people together in circle. This gathering blends cacao, aromatic plants, live sound, textiles, and shared words into one intentional evening. No experience is needed — just an open mind and a willingness to slow down and be present. What to expect: • A guided cacao ceremony led by Carolina Heredia (Mamá Uma Travel, Ecuador) • Live sound and music as part of the ritual • A small, intimate circle — space is limited • A safe, welcoming space for reflection and connection Special guest: Carolina — Mamá Uma Details: 📅 October 8 🕕 6:30 - 8:30 PM 📍 Tonali Lake House 💵 $55 — limited spots, reserve yours This experience is part of Raíces que Viajan, a 12-day tour hosted by ExplorArte and Volcánica Experiences in partnership with Mamá Uma Travel (Ecuador), celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month.
