Gaia is the lovely lady in white to the left leaning into the circle.
Simply ShenandoahSuper excited to meet our wonderful new Indigenous friend Gaia Balbi. She led a Cacao Ceremony for many of us. Gaia also led an incredibly healing Breath Ceremony. Our hearts are indeed fuller. Gaia is a 500-hour certified master Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Energy Healer, Shamanic Practitioner, End of Life Doula, Grief Expert, and overall Spiritual coach and guide who believes in the importance of a holistic approach to self-care. Cacao is an acquired taste :) These sacred experiences are part of opening all of our hearts as leaders to the healing that SIMPLY Shenandoah will bring for the next seven generations. Welcome to team SIMPLY Gaia! | Cacao Ceremony Background: Chocolate comes from the tropical cacao tree. The cacao bean, the rawest form of chocolate, can be harvested and consumed directly (cacao), roasted and turned into powder (cocoa) or made into chocolate. Mother Cacao was known in the ancient Americas as “Medicine of the Heart” because it is a gentle and beautiful heart opening plant medicine. The quality of our lives depends on our ability to heal and follow our heart’s wisdom. The heart is the center of our being, the bridge to Cosmic Intelligence, and the connection to Universal Divine Love. This is why Mother Cacao, as the “Medicine of the Heart”, is as relevant today as it was centuries ago. It was always taken as a ceremonial drink with the sacred intention to drop into our hearts, re-connect us to Mother Earth, and let Her take us back towards the Divine spark within. |
