Gather in sacred Circle with the wonderful Vesna Vavladellis as we embark on a journey of ancestral healing through indigenous practices of storytelling, breath, meditation, sound and inner reflection, led by the potent heart-opening medicine of Hawai’ian Ceremonial Cacao.

Cacao is a medicine that helps us to remember and unearth the root of who we are. Guiding us on a journey of self-discovery, evolution and change, it acts as a gentle yet powerful catalyst for rewriting the narratives that have held us back from showing up as our true, authentic selves.

This Circle is an invitation to journey back to Self. Sitting with the energy of cacao, we open a space of deep connection, reverence and clarity that offers the opportunity to explore, heal and come into sacred union with our body-mind-essence, universal consciousness and the fullness of all that we innately are.

Cuatro Manos y Cinco Volcanes Hawai’ian Cacao

Also known as “the food of the Gods”, in its purest form Cacao is a potent plant medicine that opens the heart and offers access to the rich wisdom that resides within the unchartered landscape of our inner world. It has played a central role in the traditions and ritual practices of the Olmecs, Mayans and the Aztecs for well over 4000 years, with Hawaiian Cacao being one of the rarest and most expensive cacaos in the world.

For this Circle we will be drinking Kūpuna Kalo, a special ancestors blend of cacao from the ancient, sacred and native Kalo plant, and an integral part of Hawai’ian culture and history. Kalo holds the energy of creation and is a grounding and supportive alliance for ancestral healing work and the energy of our Muladhara, Swadhisthana and Manipura Chakras.

Cuatro Manos y Cinco Volcanes Cacao is grown and produced in the Hawaiian way of “E hele me ka pu’olo”, the way of abundant flow honouring creator and universe by always offering back – lovingly prepared through ceremony and prayer with zero slave or child labour, with proceeds donated back to support reparations of the land and community in Hawaii as well as the indigenous elders and wisdom carriers of this medicine.

She creates nurturing and supportive environments that allow us to meet ourselves wherever we are on our journey, and venture beyond the cognitive limitations of the mind supported by Hawaiian cacao, fern medicine, sound, somatic movement, dreaming and meditation to access inspired realms of purest clarity, connection and insight.

Vesna walks in deep relationship alongside her teachers, ancestors and the rich traditions of her lineage to inspire and empower others in recognising the innate wisdom they carry and realising their own true potential.
