Cacao, Mantra & Sacred Truth — A Heart Opening Afternoon
Join Lauren Eastwood of LB Healing and Brian Lottman of Stir The Heart for an intimate and deeply nourishing afternoon ceremony — an experience that weaves together the ancient heart medicine of ceremonial cacao, sacred mantra, harmonium music, guided meditation, and timeless spiritual teachings.
We will open with a ceremonial cacao circle led by Lauren — calling in the divine feminine, setting sacred intention, and allowing the heart-opening medicine of cacao to soften, warm, and prepare us to receive.
From there, Brian takes us into Satsang — a Sanskrit word meaning "gathering in truth." Brian is a dynamic speaker, knowledgeable about many different spiritual traditions, especially the Ancient Vedic wisdom of India. He plays the harmonium and sings simple mantras for profound healing of the entire being, leads guided meditations energized with a deeply peaceful presence, and shares teachings that heal mind, body, and soul.
In 2007, a breathwork session at a spiritual retreat lit a flame inside Brian's being that has been growing ever since. In 2012, his spiritual teacher asked him to leave his old life behind and set out on the road to share ancient wisdom with others — and he did exactly that, becoming what he lovingly calls an "American Sadhu," traveling across the US, Canada, and Mexico sharing these teachings with hundreds of communities. When Brian enters a room, you feel it. His presence is the teaching.
Together, Lauren and Brian create a rare container — where plant medicine meets ancient wisdom, where the feminine and the timeless meet in the same sacred afternoon.
