✨ An Invitation

What becomes possible when you slow down long enough to listen – really listen – to your heart? 💗

Do you feel a longing to soften, to reconnect, to be held in community without fixing or performing?
Are you feeling the call to deepen your relationship with plant medicine, prayer, and presence? 🌿
Are you craving a space where grief and joy are both welcome, and where your full humanity belongs?

If any of this resonates, you’re warmly invited into this Monthly Sacred Cacao Circle ❤️‍🔥

🍫 What Is This Circle?

Sacred Cacao Circles are a devotional space for prayer, reflection, and reconnection. We gather with ceremonial cacao as an ancestral ally — tending grief and joy, releasing what no longer serves, and remembering what is true.

This is not performance.
This is practice.
A returning—back to body, back to spirit, back to community. 🌀

Each circle is guided by Madaly Love and weaves cacao ritual with a practice of the month (modalities and themes vary), all held within a container shaped by consent, accessibility, trauma-informed care, and collective liberation.

Cacao is a sacred Mesoamerican plant medicine—prepared with prayer and offered as a bridge:

 ✨ between heart of the sky and heart of the earth
✨ between mind and body
✨ between you and your ancestors
✨ between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming

🌱 Who Is This For?

This space may be for you if you’re longing to:

 • soften and come home to yourself
• be witnessed without fixing, rushing, or performing
• pray, release, grieve, celebrate, and realign
• deepen your relationship with Spirit, land, and ancestral memory
• build community rooted in care, dignity, and liberation

Come as you are. All of you is welcome.
No experience with cacao or ceremony is needed. 🤍

🌿 What to Expect

A space that is tender and honest—sometimes quiet, sometimes full of laughter, sometimes tearful.

You can expect:
• warmth, reverence, and clear facilitation
• room for your “yes,” your “no,” and your “not today”
• an emphasis on embodiment, agency, and nervous-system care
• community that honors justice, accessibility, and care as sacred

🔔 What We’ll Do Together

Every circle is different, but most gatherings include:

 • opening agreements + grounding (consent, choice, care)
• prayer + altar (lineage-honoring, heart-led, non-performative)
• ceremonial cacao ritual (guided sipping + intention) 🍫
• practice of the month (varies)
• journaling / reflection (gentle prompts, always optional) 📓
• community witnessing (sharing is always optional)
• integration + closing (tools to take home)

Bring instruments if you feel called—rattle, drum, flute, voice, or anything that wishes to be played. Together, we may co-create a soundscape of presence and prayer. 🎶

🌈 About the Guide

Madaly Love (they/them) has been holding monthly cacao circles at The Green Yogi since 2023. They are a chicanx curanderx and recovery guide devoted to ancestral remembrance, collective healing, and liberation-rooted care.

Cacao has been a sacred ally in their sobriety since 2017—supporting joy, truth, and deep spiritual reconnection. Madaly has studied with Mayan elders from Guatemaya and carries this medicine with deep reverence, humility, and heart-presence.

At the core of their work is a simple truth:
you are your own best healer—and healing blossoms in community. 🌸

⚠️ Important Note

Cacao contains theobromine (a gentle stimulant). If you are pregnant, have serious heart conditions, or take MAOI antidepressants/medications, please consult your healthcare provider and/or reach out with questions: 📩 madaly@madaly.love
