~ Sacred New Moon Cacao Ceremony ~
Together we enjoyed a Collaborative Alchemy of Wisdom ~ a Sacred Cacao Elixir and Kundalini Group Meditation/Visualization with Jeffrey and Juniper.
We Opened Our Hearts, and Liberated Our Souls!
Cacao is believed to…
* Induce and celebrate LOVE, * Create a chemical euphoria that fosters a joyful relationship with all living things, * Help to open the heart chakra, * Call forth peace and compassion, * Have aphrodisiac qualities, * Stimulate the imagination, * Feed the God-Spirit within You. In short… Cacao is Heaven on Earth!!!
The love-knowing brought forth from this sacred medicine will be integrated into every cell of our being through live music, sound vibration and dance. Let us gather as a family, drink of the well of truth and celebrate the knowing of love as ONE. |

~ Sarah Peacock, Live in Concert! ~
Big things definitely come in small packages!
We loved Sarah Peacock’s powerhouse pop country vocals. She is a performer with a style reminiscent of Heart’s Ann Wilson and a boot-kickin’ twist of the Sugarland “country-ness.” Add a hint of classic rock on the palate, throw in the fact that her songs are melodic and catchy, and you’ve got a star in the making!

~ AYKANNA! Live in the Garden ~
AYKANNA, a stunning musical duo created by Pauline Sukhdev Drossart and Grammy nominated percussionist Akahdahmah INSPIRED us in the ChocolaTree Garden!
Together we danced, chanted, sang, cried, uplifted, and transformed!! Sukhdev and Akahdahmah merge devotional chants with uplifting music. Pauline Sukhdev’s Soul and Jazz upbringing and Akahdahmah’s West African percussive influences seasoned with Afro-Cuban, New York City funk resonate throughout their music.

~ Ariana Saraha Mystic Gypsy Fusion Concert ~
Ariana blessed us with her lush voice and unique compositions… as unique as her gypsy roots, and flavoured by the exotic sounds of Celtic, Classical Indian, and Middle Eastern musics… Ariana is an astonishing artist, the kind that makes you ask, “where did that come from?!” Ariana’s inimitable style draws upon her gypsy roots, traditional musics from India and the Middle-east, Celtic and Flamenco flavorings, and her fiery fierce rock sensibility. But you really couldn’t categorize it… Through the playful fusion of cultures and musical styles, Ariana hopes to be of service in healing this beautiful, war-torn earth. She does so in the most enchanting way, through the uncommon passion and lush purity of her angelic voice.

~ Kombucha Class ~
People learned step-by-step how to grow their own Kombucha “Miracle Tea/Long Life Elixir” at home!
Kombucha is a raw, alive, pro-biotic beverage. Pro-biotic, which literally means ‘For-Life’, is recommended daily and brewing Kombucha at home is one of the healthiest, most cost-effective ways to do so. If your New Years Resolution is to further take the well-being and lively-hood of yourself and dearly loved ones directly (and literally) into your own hands, this is a leap in that direction!
