Cacao Under the Stars

Chill out with some rich cacao vibes while stargazing and soaking in good company and sweet treats. A Cacao Ceremony, Fire & Community Drum Circle at Homegrown Health Farms Join Aura Holistic & Metaphysical Wellness and Homegrown Health Farms for a special evening gathered in nature for cacao, ceremony, fire, rhythm and community. As the sun begins to set over the farm, we’ll come together in circle to share ceremonial cacao and slow down enough to reconnect with ourselves, with one another, and with the land around us. 🌿 The Cacao Ceremony Our evening will begin with a cacao ceremony, held with intention and reverence for cacao as a sacred plant medicine that has been worked with ceremonially for generations. We will intentionally prepare the space, open our circle, share cacao, work with intention, meditation and reflection, and allow time to simply sit with the experience. Cacao is often approached as a gentle heart-opening plant ally and can provide a beautiful space for introspection, gratitude, connection and presence. 🔥 From Ceremony to Fire As our cacao ceremony comes to a close, we’ll transition together toward the fire. Each guest will be invited to participate in a simple fire-release ritual, offering something they are ready to release or leave behind to the flames. From there, we'll allow the energy of the evening to shift from stillness and reflection into rhythm, movement and community. 🪘 Community Drum Circle We'll gather around the fire for a community drum circle under the night sky. You do not need to know how to drum. You do not need to be musical. There is no performance and no expectation. We'll begin together with simple rhythms and allow the circle to naturally unfold as we connect through sound, movement and the shared heartbeat of the drum. If you have a drum, rattle or other percussion instrument that you love, we encourage you to bring it. If you don't have one, we'll have plenty of instruments available to share. ✨ Your Evening Includes 🌿 Cacao ceremony ☕ Ceremonial cacao 🔥 Fire-release ritual 🪘 Community drum circle 🌙 An evening outdoors under the stars 🌾 The beautiful natural setting of Homegrown Health Farms 💗 Space for reflection, connection and community 🛍️ Opportunity to learn about the farm co-op What to Bring Please dress comfortably and bring layers and a blanket, as October evenings on the farm can get chilly.
