Join Us for a Special Cacao Ceremony
February is widely known as the month of love, but at Swirl Of Sound, we believe love starts with resonance—within yourself and with the community around you. This month, we are thrilled to offer two distinct opportunities to celebrate; a special Cacao Ceremony and a soundbath with healing frequencies that will open your heart.
For this Valentine’s Day gathering, Vanessa Dawson will be joining Swirl of Sound as a special guest facilitator. Vanessa will be serving ceremonial cacao—the heart-opening “love medicine” often called the elixir of the gods—inviting us into deeper connection, presence, and embodied love.
In addition to cacao, Vanessa will weave her live vocals along with Tricia’s beautiful vocals into the sound bath, adding an intimate, soulful layer to the experience. This offering is an invitation into love, resonance, and chocolate-infused bliss—perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Whether you are looking for a deep reset or a soulful Valentine’s celebration, we have a space held just for you.

The Magic of the Cacao Ceremony
What is a Cacao Ceremony, you might ask?
To make this evening truly transformative, we are incorporating a Cacao Ceremony. But what does that actually mean?
Historically used by Mayan and Aztec traditions, ceremonial-grade cacao is considered a “heart opener.” Unlike your average chocolate bar, this pure cacao contains theobromine (translating to “Food of the Gods”), which increases blood flow and stimulates the release of dopamine and endorphins.
How it ties into Valentine’s Day: While Valentine’s Day often focuses on external gestures, a Cacao Ceremony invites radical self-love and emotional clarity. It allows you to gently peel back the layers of the heart, making it the perfect ritual to share with a partner or to experience as an act of profound self-care.
Why add a Sound Bath? If Cacao opens the door to the heart, the Sound Bath allows you to walk through it. The “softer vibration” of this specific session is designed to complement the cacao’s warmth, using frequency to settle the nervous system so you can fully integrate the feelings of peace and connection surfaced during the ceremony.
Which journey is calling to you?
Spaces for our Valentine’s Day event at Soul of Yoga are expected to fill quickly due to the intimate nature of the cacao ceremony.
Ready to vibrate higher? > Bring a yoga mat, a blanket, pillow, eye mask, and an open heart. We can’t wait to swirl in sound with you.
