Rhythms of Cacao
~ Join us for this epic journey of Ecstatic Dance + Heart Medicine!!! ~
• Saturday May 10th • 6-9pm •
Rhythms of Cacao came to creation through years of facilitating Ecstatic Dance and Cacao Ceremony separately, and then one day, a natural merging occurred with fine tuning a special vibration specific to this epic jungle medicine of Cacao and the world music/primal movement that would flow so perfectly with her wild and abundant self!
Come out and explore freedom of expression through music and dance as a tool to let go into the wild wonder of uninhibitedly being yourSelf! All this in the container that is Community and you have a recipe for ecstacy. This is medicine for body, mind and Soul!
🍫 The Spirit of Cacao will play an important role in this vibrational voyage. She’ll assist us in opening our hearts, connecting to each other, finding a profound level of awareness, creativity and healing, and completely letting go!
✌️Your Guide: Mateo Solecito is a music+movement journeyman who strives to offer vibes where healing spaces amidst a safe communal container are as integral to the Ecstatic Dances experience as is the vibrational medicine itself. Bringing together an eclectic mix of genres from around the world, we get down with the get-down to tunes with an emphasis on tribal-beats, remixed medicine and rainbow music, antique classics, new-age funk, latin, african, hip-hop and more, in a 5-elements/5-rhythms multi-instrumental mix with minimal electronic overtone. He has hand-selected each of these gems which piece together your evening journey in a way that will reach deep to your ancient soul and have you feel heart-open, deeply held and yet totally hyped, in the rise and fall of the wave. ✨

** Note to the weary: Don’t think you can “dance”? Feel like it will be uncomfortable? It may be! This is common. And also a huge opportunity for growth. We promise, this is a safe container where we step out of judgment of one another, and ourselves. We guarantee* you will enjoy yourself and that you do indeed have “dance” within you - or your money back!
Dance/Space Guidelines
🙏 The following guidelines are typical of those followed at hundreds of conscious dances around the world, having been developed through community discussions and agreements over decades.
⏩ Please note: This is a Safe and Sacred Space - drug, smoking & alcohol-free!
⏩ Be mindful of others' personal boundaries. Move freely in all directions/ respect all dance forms and the people around.
⏩ It's a Non-verbal journey / with no mobile phones.
⏩ We will remind everybody to respect each other space and ask consent (using body language) to dance with others.
⏩ Be clean. Please arrive fresh with a clean body and clothes, as some of us are sensitive to any scented products (including essential oils) or strong body odors.
⏩ Be curious, open, and accepting. Please suspend judgments of self or others.
⏩ Please bring a refillable water bottle, there is free water.
