Gong + Cacao: A Heart-Opening Soul Journey
May 4 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Event Navigation

Join us for a soul-nourishing evening that gently weaves together the vibrational healing of gongs and the heart-opening warmth of ceremonial cacao.
We’ll begin in community with a small cup of cacao—offered as a gentle, grounding way to set intentions and open the heart. Then you’ll lie down and surrender to the immersive resonance of a ~50-minute gong sound journey, designed to support deep rest, nervous system regulation, and inner release.
After the session, you’ll be offered a second small cup of cacao to help integrate the experience, reconnect with your body, and ease back into shared space. Optional reflection and quiet connection will close the evening.
Note:
– The cacao servings will be small (~1 oz total) to support a grounded and accessible experience
– If you’re taking SSRIs, MAOIs, or are sensitive to cacao, please let us know or feel free to opt out of that portion
– All are welcome—no experience with gongs or cacao needed
– Check out my Cacao FAQ to learn more about it!
Let the vibrations move through you. Let the warmth open you. Leave feeling lighter, softer, and more connected.
Gongs create a unique, deeply-moving experience that can drop listeners into spontaneous meditative states (theta) where we have access to creative thinking and brilliant ideas. They also help to clear energetic blocks and re-attune to higher vibrations. Gongs can also bring up big emotions, move stuck energy, and allow for emotional release. This can sometimes feel activating and create feelings of anxiety and overwhelm. Participants are encouraged to come prepared to allow for these feelings to come up and to release. Earplugs will be provided for anyone who might be sensitive to the sound.
