Amaya Inner Journey is a transformational weekend of ceremony with plant medicine, sound healing, guided sitting and active meditation, yoga, conscious dance, and plant-based nourishment all set in the beautiful Columbia Valley near Cultus Lake, BC.
In “Panacea: The Power of Self-Love” we are honoured to be joined by Certified Sound Healer, Colin Hillstrom, playing the worlds finest crystal singing bowls and Shamanic Practitioner, Melanie O’Leary, guiding us through a heart opening cacao ceremony.
Imagine taking a journey into the heart to connect to a deeper, authentic relationship with yourself. Cacao medicine will become the powerful facilitator that will guide the journey to an enhanced connection with your own power, truth and divinity while a crystal sound bath further elevates our emotions and allows you access to our higher intuitive intelligence.
“Colin has a great heart spirit, and is able to bring his audience to love. He sets the tone of playfulness, as well as honoring the deep powers of spirit.”
-Nancy Shipley Rubin, author of “The Manifesting Codes”
CACAO AS SPIRIT MEDICINE
Cacao in ceremonial doses is a heart opener that allows us to access inner healing and awakening. Cacao can produce euphoric effects allowing us to release negative emotions and connect to loving energy within us.
It’s thought cacao was first used as a health elixir and ceremonial medicine as far back as 1900 BC by the ancestors of Central America, the Olmec people, before becoming a ritualistic medicine used by the Aztec and Mayan cultures. It was used for spiritual, medicinal and ceremonial purposes for inner awakening and creative guidance.
“Chocolate is a divine, celestial drink, the sweat of the stars, the vital seed, divine nectar, the drink of the gods, panacea and universal medicine. “ – Geronimo Piperni
