Lion's Gate Portal: Sound & Cacao Ceremony
Leiza Grissino, Carmen Hernandez
11:00 am-1:00 pm ET
- Please note there is a special Cacao Ceremony Waiver Form you must sign before participating. We will have copies here at the store when you check in, so you do not need to print on your own.
- Health Advisory: Cacao is generally safe but may raise heart rate by up to 20%. Avoid if you have a pacemaker, arrhythmia, tachycardia, or other heart conditions. It may interact with blood pressure meds, blood thinners, diuretics, stimulants, or MAOI antidepressants. Consult your healthcare provider before use and start with half a ceremonial dose if advised.
- Space is limited—reserve your seat early and join us in this sacred circle of cacao, sound, and intention.
Join us for a soul-nourishing morning designed to open the heart, expand your energy, and align with the intentions you are ready to call forward.
The Lion’s Gate carries powerful energies of abundance, empowerment, and manifestation. It is a beautiful time to pause, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and consciously set intentions for the next chapter of your life.
Gathering in ceremony on this auspicious day allows us to anchor those intentions through heart, sound, and sacred presence.
What to Expect
We begin by sharing ceremonial cacao, a sacred plant medicine known to gently open the heart and deepen connection to self and Spirit.
From this softened space, you’ll be guided through a meditative inner journey, helping you settle into presence and tune in to what your heart is ready to call in.
You’ll then be invited into quiet reflection and journaling, allowing insights, intentions, and inner guidance to arise naturally.
We’ll close with a deeply restorative sound healing immersion, using crystal bowls, gongs, and sacred tones to help clear the mind, balance the body, and expand your energetic field.
This ceremony offers a chance to soften, receive, and align with the abundant possibilities opening before you.
What to Bring:
Please bring a journal, pen, water, a mug and spoon, and anything that helps you feel comfortable and supported. You can choose to stay seated or bring a mat and/or blankets if you’d like to lie down.
