From the 14th to 16th of February 2025 come to remember how to live from the heart, in Lalita Devi, Caceres.
There’s a fire lit at the Center.
It can be at the center of the room. And so it is. It waits for you.
It could be at the Center of your chest. And so it will be. We’ll light it together.
A fire to embrace us all. A warmth that flows from the Heart.
A HEARTENING a CORAZONAR.
During this weekend, we will be pairing Cacao, Tao Tantra, and Somatic Dance. Why?
Because it’s pleasurable, because it’s a powerful fusion, and because it’s necessary.
Because it is urgent to live from a wise, strong, and compassionate heart.
A heart that knows how to discern its truth, that knows how to love other truths, and that knows how to remain calm when times get tough.
And we must watch out, for these times are pressing in on us.
Love has no opposites, and there is no power in the world capable of killing it..
However, it can be buried under layers of indifference, forgetfulness, fear...
And there it remains, until we call it back, and love eternal as it is, comes to us.
That is the purpose of this gathering, to create the right conditions to invoke the Love that resides in our hearts.
No matter how deep: there is tenderness, warmth and compassion.
Also play, joy, sensuality and eroticism.
We want to walk this path with you.
With you, who seeks a way of relating that is complete, honest, free, and harmonious.
Here we reveal a map of the program. But hey, your body is already HEARTENING: Corazonando.
And you know it…

OUR REFUGE IS LALITA DEVI, IN ACEBO (CÁCERES)
Crossing a forest of oaks and chestnuts, nourished by the small streams that rise from the womb of the Jalama mountain, Guardian of these valleys, we arrive at Lalita Devi, School of Life.
A pioneering and visionary community with more than 38 years of history, it has been welcoming and nurturing, for the past 25 years, gatherings of human beings seeking a true connection with nature and with the great mysteries of life.
With dreamy architecture, a large circular hall, and carefully crafted nourishment, no one remains indifferent after passing through this corner of nature.
We have chosen FEBRUARY for this gathering because we know Lalita —it is HOME for us— and in the heart of that circular hall, we will light a great fire that will nourish our own CORAZONAR. That Fire is our Calling. And we wish for it to ignite within you as well.
While the coolness of the outside world tightens, perhaps rain or snow will fall, inside this Temple, we will find a refuge of love, presence, tenderness, joy, vulnerability, and sensuality.

If you need an invoice, please write to us with all your details at teleo@evamonro.com.
CAN I ATTEND IF I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE IN TANTRA OR CACAO?
Yes, CORAZONAR is designed for anyone who feels called to deepen their relationships and can benefit from the experience and teachings, regardless of the "level" their mind believes they are at.
CORAZONAR doesn’t focus on levels; it focuses on connection.
CAN I ATTEND ALONE?
Yes, this is not a retreat specifically for couples: you can come by yourself, with your partner, or with any connection you wish to share this experience with.
ARE THERE LIMITED SPACES?
Yes! Spaces are limited to 30 people plus facilitators and assistants.
HOW TO GET TO LALITA DEVI?
Lalita Devi is located near Acebo, in the Sierra de Gata, province of Cáceres, about three and a half hours from Madrid.
Some weeks before the retreat we will send you an email with all the coordinates and create a group to facilitate the organisation.
If you want to ride share or you are coming from outside Spain, please let us know so we can help you manage your journey earlier on. Please bear in mind that getting to Lalita Devi is part of your pilgrimage and is your responsibility.
WILL THERE BE GENITAL CONTACT?
Our approach to sensuality and sexuality is integrative: we neither force nor prevent anything from happening; as long as the boundaries and agreements of the individuals involved are respected.
The activities we offer will not include explicit genital contact.
It is possible that in other spaces, this may naturally occur between assistants.
However, at all times, you will have the support of four people overseeing these spaces, with a sensitive awareness of trauma and wounds. We will not tolerate any disrespect, and we will expel anyone who does not behave appropriately in the sacred space we are creating at CORAZONAR.
IS IT A LGTBIQ+ FRIENDLY SPACE? Undoubtedly yes!
WHAT EFFECTS DOES CEREMONIAL CACAO HAVE?
Cacao is a very loving plant that shows us the path with subtlety and kindness. Subtlety is not at odds with depth, communion with this plant will give you great knowledge about yourself.
Cacao is not a hallucinogenic plant, rather she whispers to us, inviting and accompanying us. At a physical level, it is a stimulating plant that has the capacity to open our heart.
Ceremonial doses of Cacao are not recommended for people with epilepsy, high blood pressure, serious heart and liver diseases, and in some cases when taking antidepressants or antipsychotics, without speaking with you physician beforehand.
You can enquire about your case individually by writing to dia@cacaoamor.com
WHY COMBINE CACAO WITH TANTRA?
Cacao amplifies what is already within you. Imagine the power of enhancing all the energy of Love and Presence that we will generate together.
For us, the pairing is obvious, and we wish to share it with you.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
Some weeks before the Retreat we will get in touch with you with a list of what you will need to bring. Do not worry about this, it will be simple things.
CAN YOU MEET MY NEEDS IF I HAVE SPECIAL DIETARY REQUIREMENTS?
Sure thing. Keep in mind that our proposal is to opt for a vegan diet to promote digestion and the integration of the chemistry of Cacao in our bodies. If you have any intolerances or require food options different from what we propose, tell us about it and we will do our best to accommodate. May incur an additional fee.
WHAT HAPPENS IF ONCE BOOKED I CAN'T MAKE IT TO THE RETREAT?
Cancellations made by you: reservation made is non refundable. Bare in mind we will have to pay for your reservation to Lalita.
Cancellation by the organization: refund the amount paid minus a 20 € admin fee or can be exchanged for another event or service.
