What is Ceremonial Cacao?
Ceremonial cacao is a gentle plant medicine used in ritual and ceremony. Ceremonial cacao encourages the opening of the heart chakra, creativity, introspection, healing and connection. The key behind ceremonial cacao is: intention. The ceremonial cacao that will be used for the weekend originates from Peru and is of the highest quality. 🇵🇪
When you drink ceremonial cacao you also support farmers who are fairly compensated for their hard work. For this reason, ceremonial cacao is more expensive than any chocolate you will find in stores. 🤍
During the weekend, you will participate in two cacao ceremonies lead by Stephanie. She has spent the last 5 years deepening her relationship with Mama Cacao and loves sharing her in ceremony. 🧙🏻♀️

Your Teachers: Stephanie Marie Hernandez and Ari Marie Liakeas.
Stephanie Hernandez is founder of Pursuits of the Heart where she works with ambitious women to embrace heart awakening and expansion to lead the way to their greatest dreams and desires. She originally studied Social Work but shifted towards serving others on her own terms after moving to Europe several years ago. Since she was a child, her mother shared her clarivoyant gifts, spiritual interests and Mexican healing traditions with her.
She coaches and mentors women to create more empowered relationships to themselves, their bodies and others. Her signature offering: the Sacred Heart, is a program where she creates personalized and holistic healing journeys for women. She helps women unlock new levels of their intuition and expression through womb and heart healing. Women who work with Stephanie learn how to embrace deeper levels of passion, purpose and bliss.
Finally, Stephanie is a ceremonialist who loves creating spaces and ethereal vibes where women can go inward, connect and embrace ritual together. Ceremonial cacao is the medicine she has worked with deeply for years to bring deep healing, clarity and balance. She is thrilled to share Mama Cacao in Wisdom to the Womb.
Ari Liakeas Founder of Stellar Therapies, has had a lifelong interest in dance and movement, taking inspiration from her mother. She has explored various cultural forms of movement, dance, and yoga, but Arabic dance particularly resonated with her soul, feeling inspired, uplifted, and empowered by the movements and the music.
She realised the deep connections of this form of dance to the feminine goddess aspect of life, and how the movements can bring profound health and healing to women on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Through dance, yoga and bodywork therapies Ari has found her own transformative path to healing trauma deeply embedded within the body and soul. Since 2019 she has taken 100's hours of Yoga Teacher Training in Hatha, Yin, and Restorative Yoga practices and continued her studies through further training in Yoga and movement, so that she could share these practices with others through community classes.
She believes in creating an inclusive space for people to share and connect, a safe environment to celebrate community, reconnect with the self, and bring joy and healing on all levels.
