Open your heart with others
Cacao Ceremony
Please also check our events page to sign up for our monthly new moon public ceremonies.
Gathering together to drink cacao can create healing, connection and inspiration. Engaging with cacao as a ritual, rather than consuming it as chocolate candy or a commodity, has direct positive impact on our individual well-being as well as our global ecosystem.
Within a cacao ceremony, the facilitator holds space for people to connect with each other in new ways, and the ceremony is an opportunity to reconnect with ancient parts of ourselves that remember the simple power of gathering together in community.
All ceremonies begin with a cacao blessing, and give you a chance to learn about the cacao you are drinking, and how it was prepared. The ceremonial cacao that one drinks in a ceremony was sourced, made, and prepared with love and intention. We currently source our cacao from Embue Cacao. Their cacao all comes from Guatemala, whose climate and soils grow some of the best cacao. Embue goes "beyond fair trade" and works exclusively with "one family farm that is paid premium prices for their product and that uses natural growing practices."
In ceremony, the facilitator will guide the group through various exercises and experiences based on the intentions of the event. Some examples of guided experiences are: guided meditations, journaling, sound journeys, use of oracle cards, reiki healing, dance and movement practices, and partner exercises.
3- hour in-person group session $40 each, minimum of 6 people, maximum of 25.
Virtual ceremonies are also possible at a reduced cost, and do not include cacao.
Full day (6 hour) retreats are also available.
