Moon rituals are an ancient and sacred practice. Cacao ceremonies are a centuries-old ritual seen as the ultimate heart-opener.

It helps the body to heal, detoxify and to give your immune system a good boost.
We begin our evening greeting new friends on the beach. We will then begin the ceremony with special mantras and rituals that will help to ground us and connect us to our breath. A brief discussion about the astrological significance of the moon as we drink cacao.
The full moon is a time when our energies are heightened. We will take time to reflect on what the full moon brings up and go through a releasing practice and final cleansing in the ocean. The perfect time to set an intention related to the astrological sign of the full moon.
