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.
