Ceremonial Cacao & The Elements

A FIVE WEEK JOURNEY THROUGH THE SACRED ELEMENTS

Create a deeper reverence and connection with the elements in nature and within yourself. Ceremonial cacao, considered a superfood, is an incredibly nutritious plant and a powerful medicine for opening your heart. It stimulates your cardiovascular system, triggers the release of dopamine, and has more antioxidants than any other known food source.

5 Sessions:  October 3, 10, 17 and November 7, 14
12 pm ET Zoom ~ 60 min

The four sacred elements—earth, air, water, and fire—are known by indigenous cultures to live not only around us, but also within us. We’ll explore this concept further as we get our hands in the dirt and plant our own creations to take home.

Reconnecting with the Magic of Your Own Medicine

Reconnecting with the Magic of Your Own Medicine

Join Amanda Vazquez and Carrie Eckert for a somatic (aka embodied) experience as we utilize the combined magic of ceremonial cacao and blue lotus to take you into an exploration of the heart accompanied by vocals and sound bowls.


The Mayans and Aztecs brought ceremonial cacao to the world. The essence of this heart-opening plant carries an intelligence that we cannot perceive with the mind but feel deep within us.

Blue Lotus is a sacred plant medicine with origins spanning all the way back to the mystical times of Ancient Egypt. We can connect with this plant in a modern context to activate our intuition, deepen our connection to the emotional body, and experience more lucid dreams.

Cacao Circle: Intro to Somatics for Teens

In our modern society, we are taught that our minds hold all our wisdom. So many of us navigate the world through the lens of logic, repressing or ignoring the cues of our bodies. Interestingly enough, our bodies are more attuned to our surroundings and more efficient at leading us to our greatest good than our minds ever will be.

Join me in immersing yourself in a somatic (aka embodied) experience that is enhanced by the medicine of sacred cacao, mindful breath, and guided meditation. I look forward to helping you open up to this beautiful way of being in the world.

Would you like to connect more deeply to your feminine essence? Would you like to learn to flow like the water—through emotions, creativity, and sensuality, releasing resistance that keeps you stuck? This gathering honors you—your beautiful womanly body, in all forms and shapes.

For the first 2 hours, we gather together, introduce ourselves, drink sacred cacao, and sit for meditation into our sacral chakra, the energetic seat of the feminine. We honor our womanly bodies and embrace our vulnerability together in a safe container. We journal with guidance, releasing where we are resisting. We immerse in the heated pool’s waters to release what holds us back, with some beautiful and sacred movement, flowing in our connection to our element—water— using the breath and somatic fluidity. This is how we heal together.

Please wear your swimsuit and bring a towel, yoga mat, journal, and any food or drink offering for our gathering at the end.

Bre Kali is a Naples, FL based certified meditation teacher, crystal healer, reiki practitioner, entheogenic medicine guide/ integration guide and psychospiritual therapist. Bre uses earth medicines to help others access the roots of their subconscious programs, limitations and traumas, and aids in their healing by guiding them with chakra therapy, inner child work, shadow work and visualization exercises to shift their baseline vibration.

Carrie Eckert is a health and embodiment coach in Sarasota, FL. She is trained in and facilitates several of the mind-body modalities that helped her heal from over a dozen “mystery illnesses,” including neuroplasticity, breathwork, TRE (tension & trauma release exercise), and sacred cacao. We all have the power to heal within us. Her definition of the word “healer” is one who empowers another to carry their own magic wand.


*Those with serious heart conditions, who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or currently taking MAOI / SSRI antidepressants are discouraged from taking full ceremonial doses of cacao due to medical contraindications. You may still participate, but a smaller, energetic dosage is recommended. Please let Carrie know of any of these conditions so that your serving is adjusted.
