Cacao + Sound Experience
Join us for a very powerful Cacao Circle as we welcome special guest Beth Ricciardone
Cacao + Sound Experience: Breathing in a new mindset and creating heart centered intentions in community.
Sitting together, initiating new ideas, inspiring one another with supportive conversations, connecting through the medicine of cacao and integrating the experience with sound healing vibrations to restore and nourish the heart, body mind and spirit.
Guided by Healing Artist Beth Ricciardone.
Beth is a dedicated student of the sacred medicine of cacao, studying under Nana Marina Cruz, an honored Ajq’ij (spiritual guide) of the Tz’utujil People of Guatemaya. She has received her teacher’s guidance, permission, and blessing to serve and share the medicine of cacao. Beth integrates traditional and spiritual practices from her studies while honoring her own Italian lineage. She is grateful to walk this path in sacred reciprocity.
LEARN MORE:
Cacao is a healing medicine that not only provides health benefits, both uplifting and relaxing but teaches us to find forgiveness in ourselves and others, dissolves stagnant energies and shows new paths, and instills trust to help us move forward in our lives.
Cacao (the main ingredient found in chocolate) is a deeply sacred plant that has been vital to humanity for thousands of years. Originally known throughout Amerikua, Cacao has spread around the world because of its tremendous physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits.
Beth sources her ceremonial cacao directly from the community that she studies with in Guatemala, who are the guardians of the sacred medicine. They prepare it from start to finish in a prayer, in a sacred process that’s been handed down through their ancestral tradition.
A portion of the cacao sales are given back to the community as gratitude.

Community Mind Massage Clinic
Excited to be a practitioner at this upcoming community event.
The Divine Feminine School of Hypnosis offers individual guided mind massage hypnosis.
Anchoring into a sense of peacefulness and freedom is always possible, even during unprecedented stresses of our time, and even if it’s just for half an hour. Our wish is that the Mind Massage Community Clinic can provide a reprieve for individuals who are experiencing stress and exhaustion during pandemic times and beyond, using a specialized technique that integrates meditation, visualization and self-hypnosis for deep relaxation and stress relief.
What is Mind Massage?
Mind Massage is an effective form of NSDR (non-sleep-deep-rest) an evidence based practice that activates the healing effects of the parasympathetic nervous system, a meditative hypnotic practice that uses the imagination to calm the mind and body, clearing and creating space to cultivate a grounded sense of hope, reimagining new pathways and possibilities for the greater good of ourselves, our community and the world.
As we guide people through their inner landscape, we will also show them how to work with their imagination as a tool for healing and hope. This safe, screen-free one-to-one experience is grounded in the spirit of collective healing and the virtues of connection, collaboration, creativity and community.
