Cacao Ceremony
What is a Cacao Ceremony?
During a cacao ceremony, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich history, ancient wisdom, and profound benefits of raw, ceremonial cacao. This sacred plant medicine, revered for centuries by indigenous cultures, serves as a gentle yet powerful catalyst for opening the heart and deepening your connection to yourself and those around you.
The ceremony begins by introducing the origins and traditions of cacao, exploring its role in fostering emotional balance, spiritual awareness, and a sense of inner peace. Together, we prepare and mindfully consume the ceremonial cacao, allowing its healing properties to work within us.
As we share our intentions in this sacred space, we collectively open to the core wisdom of our hearts. The process is a deeply grounding and heart-warming journey, inviting you to release old energies, gain clarity, and embrace a sense of renewal. Through guided meditation, mindfulness practices, and heartfelt connection, the cacao supports a gentle unfolding of emotional and spiritual healing.
This ceremony is held in a safe, nurturing environment where you are encouraged to be fully present and authentic. Whether shared with a group, close friends, or family, the experience fosters a sense of unity and connection, reminding us of the power of community and shared healing.
A cacao ceremony is more than just a moment of reflection—it is a transformative experience that honors the sacredness of life, reconnects us to our inner wisdom, and nurtures a deeper connection to ourselves and others.

Good to know
For the best experience, I recommend to fast at least 3 hours before the ceremony and to drink plenty of water before and during the session.
It is highly recommended to abstain from alcohol and coffee (at least 24h before the
ceremony)
Cacao is not recommended for pregnant women, people with high blood pressure, or taking antidepressants. If you still would like to join a ceremony, please reach out to me in advance and I will prepare you an alternative dosage according to your situation.
What is ceremonial cacao?
Ceremonial cacao is a raw paste made into a warm and spiced drink to consume in a ceremonial setting. It has been used for millennia to heal the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body by the Mayans, Aztecs and Incas of South and Central America.
Compared to the hot chocolate that we know, this cacao is not been industrially heated and processed, leaving it with its natural fat content and other ingredients.
What to expect?
Effects on the physical body
It is a natural and gentle plant medicine high in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Cacao increases blood circulation and the release of endorphins (happy hormones). In addition, it is said to boost the immune system and to reduce cholesterol.
Effects on the mental and emotional states
By setting conscious intentions, the medicine of cacao can help you find the awareness and wisdom needed for inner transformation.
Thanks to its ingredient theobromine, a substance similar to caffeine, it can boost the energy level and help in focusing more clearly in order to strengthen your memory and creativity. Ceremonial cacao can facilitate bringing about changes into your lives.
Some of them can also feel painful. The cacao medicine supports this process and teaches you how to deal with and integrate these emotions, in order for you to infuse them with gratitude as well.
Cacao is not a hallucinogen, on the contrary, the medicine touches the heart very gently and guides you on an inner journey to the emotional center of your body.

“An inspiring and enriching experience”
The sound journey took place in a welcoming setting. A beautifully prepared space with various instruments and scents greeted you upon entering the room. Throughout the session, there was a pleasant variation of different instruments, fragrances, and singing at comfortable intervals. This led to a soothing and relaxing experience. After the sound journey, I felt like a new person. I can only highly recommend it!
