A Cacao Ceremony is a non-dogmatic community gathering where guests have the opportunity to set intentions and receive guidance directly from their connection with the spirit of Cacao.

We begin the ceremony with introductions and intention setting for the evening.

Once everyone has shared and received their cacao, we drop into a group meditative sound journey. Then, we continue with journaling and/or guided movement to get the blood flowing and energy elevated. As the experience draws to a close, each person shares their takeaway.

Our circle is informed by shamanic practices and by our personal connection with the spirit of cacao.

Come gather with us and open your heart for a profound connection with yourself, community and the sacred.

WHAT IS CEREMONIAL CACAO?

Ceremonial Cacao is a beverage prepared with the paste of cacao beans, derived from a tree called Theobroma Cacao.

This tree is native to the upper Amazon bassin, having later spread to other parts of South and Central America as well as other rainforests around the globe.

Since ancient times, cacao has been used as a medicine to heal physical, mental and spiritual illnesses. Cacao has been shown to boost the immune system and lower cholesterol and blood pressure as well as leading to euphoria and deeper spiritual connection.

Considered a sacred plant medicine by the Mayan, Olmec, Zapotec and Aztec cultures since time immemorial, cacao is rich in minerals and antioxidants.

Cacao increases the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain and positively affects our mood, stimulating the release of endorphins and dopamine to induce feelings of wellness, connection and bliss.

Those physiological actions, enhanced by intention setting, prayer and devotional states, allow you to meet your higher self and to open your heart, to deeply connect to your true essence and that of others around you.

Combining the medicine of cacao with guided meditations, breath, movement and sound journeys, we allow ourselves to step out of ordinary mindsets and enter the realms of infinite potential of dreamtime and expanded states of awareness.
