Community Cacao Circle: Filling Your Cup Before Pouring Out to Others

Join us for a free cacao circle about tending to yourself before you care for others. Vivian will begin by walking you through how it’s prepared and what properties it holds.

From there, you’ll move into a somatic practice, meditation, and journaling.

This event is part of Recipes & Rituals for Community Care. Explore the role of plants in personal and communal well-being with guest herbalists, healing artists, and wellness practitioners.
