CACAO

Contraindications: Ceremonial Cacao is not recommended for anyone in the first trimester of pregnancy, with a serious heart condition, epilepsy or taking antidepressants. If you would like to still attend and take a much lower dose, you can do so at your own risk. Our Cacao is First Grade Ceremonial Cacao from Guetamala. Cacao is a powerful plant medicine that contains iron, zinc, potassium, copper, and magnesium which contribute to cardiovascular health. It is said to have benefits for depression as it contains anandamide, the bliss molecule and has the ability to trigger the release of dopamine and endorphins and increase serotonin. Cacao also has powerful antioxidants and can balance blood sugar levels by increasing the blood flow to the brain. This helps with focus and awareness. Cacao also has spiritual and emotional benefits and can help us to connect with our higher self, tune in to our intuition and access transformational states.

ABOUT

Gabriel Grimaldi

Gabriel’s yoga journey began 12 years ago with the goal of finding balance, well-being, and inner peace. As he deepened his practice, his thirst for knowledge led him to explore different yoga styles and study with numerous teachers in India. Eventually, he discovered his true calling in Jnana Yoga, the path of knowledge and self-inquiry, which resonated deeply with his search for truth.
His transformational experience intensified when he encountered the teachings of Ramana Maharshi and self-inquiry through Mooji in India, which guided Gabriel to connect with his true self and discover the nature of his being.
Through intense daily meditation, self-inquiry, and deep study of ancient yoga scriptures, Gabriel integrated the wisdom of these teachings into his life and now shares them with others in a clear, accessible manner.
In addition to his spiritual journey, Gabriel is a professional musician who has always followed his passion for music. During Bhakti & Jnana Yoga Teacher Training, Gabriel blends the teachings of Jnana Yoga with the heart-centered devotion of Bhakti Yoga.
