Join us for a cacao-infused, fully immersive night where we’ll explore the cutting edge of humanity’s social evolution through New Paradigm Partying. Interweaving a multi-dimensional flow that will be part workshop and part dance, we will navigate how conscious celebration can be both juicy and grounded, sexy and safe, spontaneously fun and sustainably transformative.
Think of it like a party that’s also a workshop on how to party consciously. The whole journey will be co-facilitated by Nick Meador (leading the cacao ritual and intention circle), Cyrena Giordano (leading consent and connection workshops), and DJ Audionai (leading the conscious dance party).
There will be a tea lounge open and available to talk with others, stretch, cuddle, or simply BE, hosted by See See. Skilled space-holders will be available throughout the night in the case that something comes up that needs to be worked through.

A NOTE ON CACAO:
Entry includes a cup of ceremonial cacao! Pure cacao is a gentle plant medicine that opens the heart, deepens meditative experiences, and fosters inner/outer connection. With his social enterprise Soul Lift Cacao, Nick serves cacao grown organically at a family farm in eastern Guatemala, prepared by a women’s collective at Lake Atitlán that he met personally, and obtained through ethical direct trade. By giving back and showing respect, we honor the sacred role that cacao has played for thousands of years in the indigenous cultures of what we now call Central and South America. We are so fortunate that ceremonial cacao is entering the global consciousness at a time when it can have a massively positive impact. For more info visit bit.ly/soulliftcacao.
*Cacao consumption is optional at this event. It is not advised for people taking pharmaceutical anti-depressants or people with a heart condition to have a full serving of pure cacao.
