CACAO & POETRY - "Fall in Love"(14. April)
Poetry meets Cacao.
Do you know the feeling when you first meet someone who makes you feel in a certain? That way when you loose a little control and your heart starts to beat faster?
In Guatemalan tradition they had cacao ceremonies before any event that was of great importance for the tribe.
The cacao was taken on an empty stomach around the fire and usually also given a sip to Mother Earth. As a gift and a way of re-opening the ever ongoing circle of giving and taking. She, Mother Earth, who provides us with the beautiful plant of cacao.
This action was also seen as a declaration of love for one of the highest powers nurturing us with her ever giving nature.
The tribes felt strength after this cup of cacao and often a buzz that connected each and everyone to their communal heart but also their own inner wisdom.
Scientifically spoken a cup of pure cacao can be like a gentle kiss for your being and generate the sensation of falling in love.
A moment. This loving touch from within.
Kendy and Kim are taking you on a cacao-voice-journey to this beautiful space where your words meet the heart and through poetry, music and the Mayan traditions we will discover a playful space of joy, laughter, tears, astonishment, surprise and most importantly connection and love!
