Drawing from the ancient Mayan & Egyptian wisdom teachings and working with Sacred Cacao and Blue Lotus in healing and ceremony, Veronica Nilah will create a sacred & safe space where you can feel held within the unfolding of the ceremonial sound journey, allowing you to travel beyond the mundane and explore a consciousness expansion through the portals of your Heart (Cacao) and your Crown (Lotus).
Immersed in the tones from the crystal bowls, harmonics from the flutes, heartbeats from the drum and ripples from the gongs, you will experience the deeply connecting magic of the Cacao Spirit to open your heart and receive the messages of your Soul, and the enlightenment of the Sacred Blue Lotus - the Oils of Ascension- to deepen your communication with inner and "cosmic awareness".
IN CEREMONY WITH THE SPIRIT OF SACRED CACAO AND SACRED BLUE LOTUS PLANT MEDICINES
With reverence to the ancient Mayan & Egyptian wisdom and tradition, honouring the sacredness of the Cacao and Blue Lotus Spirits, Veronica Nilah invites you in a ceremonial circle where you can experience consuming these plant medicines with intention and in deep inner contemplation. Be open to receive insight and healing, connect to your wisdom and knowing, and explore the love consciousness and creative guidance of these heart and mind opening plant teachers as she assists you in a meditation journey with Shamanic & Sacred Sound.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE CEREMONY?
Following the opening of Sacred Space with smudging and a blessing, Veronica Nilah will guide you through the ceremony offering you a Heart Meditation with the anointing of Sacred Blue Lotus Oil. When you receive your cup of ceremonial Cacao and Blue Lotus flowers tincture (made by Veronica following the ancient way) you will be invited to quietly tune into yourself and set an intention which will be imbued in your drink before you consume it with deep reverence. Veronica Nilah will encourage you to pay attention to what is happening for you and remain present while you will be journeying with Sacred Sound. Re-emerging from the sound journey we will collectively acknowledge the medicine of our shared experience and close the circle with a giving of thanks and a grounding of energies.
ABOUT CACAO
Cacao has been revered as a sacred plant and employed in healing, ceremonies and spiritual practices for millennia by the ancient civilizations and Indigenous cultures of Mesoamerica. Records from the Olmec, Maya and the Aztec civilizations are testimonies of the significance of cacao as a drink, currency and religious rites.

This powerful superfood is good for the heart, blood, brain and hormones with its remarkable balancing properties; it contains neurotransmitters and endorphins, “feel good” chemicals like serotonin (the happiness hormone), PEA (the love chemicals), anandamide (the bliss hormone), and help release oxytocin and dopamine, which are powerful mood enhancers, increasing vitality and energy levels. Cacao has and it’s recognised by both the spiritual and scientific community as a heart medicine.
