This agreement is entered into between Johanna Olivas, Luna Serenity, operating at various locations in United States and worldwide, and yourself ("I") for this and future visits.

 

DISCLOSURE ABOUT CACAO: Sacred ceremonial cacao is prepared in such a way that, the properties of it alone increases blood flow to the brain by 30-40%, and the actual oxygen in the blood is also increased by 20%. Along with this and the meditations and healing offered in this ceremony, you can greatly expand the energy of the heart center for deeper awareness, healing, joy and creativity. We ask that if you have high blood pressure, heart issues, allergic to chocolate, are pregnant, or are prone to severe anxiety or are on antidepressant or any other medication, that you do not consume the full amount of cacao served in these ceremonies. We require you to let us know in advance of a ceremony.
