Romanteo and divine cacao magic with Dr Rocio Alarcom - Thursday 14th November, 7pm - 9:30pm
EDUCATION ROOM, Emerson College, Hartfield Road. Forest Row. East Grinstead RH18 5JX
An evening not to miss with Dr Rocio Alarcon and the Theobroma divine fruit that is Cacao. During this circle Rocio will be sharing Cacao, Romanteo, her experiences and stories as well as the possibility to share a new preparation of plant medicines that she brings from her lands
Words from Dr Rocio:
Join us for a beautiful and transformative ceremony of dancing with the manta (rebozo) and drinking sacred cacao.
Cacao is a divine plant, chosen by universal forces to soothe the pain and sadness of the earth. Its bark, flesh, and seeds are not only a source of nourishment but also a powerful medicine that brings joy and pleasure to humanity. Known as Theobroma cacao in science, this plant holds the key to healing.
The Amazonian cacao we will share comes directly from the heart of the forest at the Iamoe Centre, where its ancient roots have thrived for thousands of years, surrounded by the jaguar and anaconda beneath the Amazonian canopy. This cacao is fresh, organic, and 100% rich in theobromine – a natural alkaloid that helps transform sadness into happiness.
We invite you to experience this sacred cacao from the Iamoe Centre as part of our Romanteo ceremony, which is designed to cleanse, detoxify, and nourish our bodies. Through the power of movement and the healing properties of Amazonian cacao, we will come together to celebrate and rejuvenate.
Come and dance with the manta, sip cacao, and welcome this circle of connection and renewal.
