Join Sophia Alexandra and Ricardo Goni for a morning of deep connection, gentle movement, and traditional ceremonial cacao at Warrior & Wild, Nailsworth.

We will begin by sharing the origins and spiritual significance of cacao as a heart-opening medicine.

The ceremony is guided by Ricardo Goni, a Mexican Medicine Man and guardian of Mayan traditions. Since 2012, Ricardo has walked the Peace Journey, bringing ancestral teachings across Mexico, South America, Europe, and Asia.

If you’re walking a path of healing—letting go of old wounds, reconnecting with love and trust—this ceremony offers a space for forgiveness, clarity, and expansion.

🧘‍♀️ Movement & Embodiment

Sophia will guide a movement practice for you to explore your inner terrain and open the body to fully receive the cacao and emotional clarity it can bring. It will be a gentle, explorative practice with some time spent in longer held yin postures to relax the muscles, open the heart and bring you deeper into the body. Please note that all movement is always invitational and variations will always be offered.

Ceremonial Cacao

We will share pure ceremonial cacao, sourced from native Mexican seeds, as used by the Aztecs, Mayans, and other Indigenous cultures. Cacao works subtly yet deeply—opening the heart, guiding emotions, and amplifying inner clarity. It is rich in magnesium, theobromine, serotonin precursors, and many other compounds that support joy, focus, and emotional release.

You’ll be guided to drink with intention, listen to the spirit of cacao, and gently release what no longer serves you.
