Cacao Ceremonies
Cacao Ceremonies: Opening the Heart to Healing
​
​
Welcome to a space of connection, reflection, and transformation. I am honored to facilitate Cacao Ceremonies, a sacred practice rooted in ancient traditions that uses cacao as a heart-opening medicine to guide us inward and connect us to our most authentic selves.
​
What is a Cacao Ceremony?
Cacao ceremonies are a sacred and celebratory ritual designed to open the heart and guide us into deeper connection with ourselves, the earth, and the cosmos. Using brewed cacao, a revered plant medicine, we honor the spirit of the goddess Ixcacao, embracing her wisdom and love through guided meditation, music, and storytelling.
A Cacao Ceremony is a gentle yet powerful practice that invites you to slow down, breathe, and come back to your heart. Cacao, often referred to as The Food of the Gods, has been used for centuries in ritual and healing practices to foster connection, release emotional blockages, and inspire clarity and insight. In ceremony, we work with cacao in its purest form to deepen our awareness and create a safe container for healing and self-discovery.
​
Tradition of Sacred Wisdom
Rooted in the practices of the Maya and Ancient Aztec civilizations, cacao ceremonies were traditionally conducted by shamans and medicine people. These rituals prepared participants for sacred journeys, fostering heart-opening, clarity, and connection to the divine.
​
Inspired by my own journey and apprenticeship within the Andean Wila Suyu Shamanic Cacao Lineage sharing the Chakana Medicine Wheel template of ceremony, I am honored to facilitate these transformative ceremonies. Together, we will create a space where you can touch on the magic you seek and feel propelled forward on your unique path.
​
Why Cacao?
​
Cacao is a plant medicine that works on an emotional, physical and spiritual level. It helps to:
​
-Open the Heart: Cacao gently invites us to connect with our emotions and experience deeper compassion for ourselves and others.
-Quiet the Mind: It creates a sense of calm and presence, allowing space for reflection, release, and clarity.
-Awaken Creativity and Intuition: Cacao brings us into alignment with our inner voice, helping us access new perspectives, creativity, and inspiration.

​
A Celebration of Oneness
​
Cacao ceremonies remind us of our connection to the great mother, Mother Earth, and the cosmos. When we experience this unity, we come to understand the profound truth that there is no separation. It is here, in this space of oneness, that we find true freedom, alignment, and bliss.
​
What to Expect in a Ceremony
Each cacao ceremony is unique, but the space is always held with care, intention, and love. Together, we may:
​
-
Share the sacred cacao and set personal intentions.
-
Move through guided meditations, breath-work, or gentle movement to deepen the experience.
-
Reflect, journal, or share in community, allowing the insights and emotions to flow.
-
Embrace the energy of cacao to release what no longer serves and invite in healing, clarity, and joy.
​
Cacao for Life’s Sacred Journeys
I facilitate cacao ceremonies for individuals and groups to support healing during pivotal life moments, such as:
​
-
Motherhood: Honoring the sacred journey of birth, postpartum, and mothering.
-
Personal Transformation: Navigating transitions with intention and self-compassion.
-
Inner Exploration: Connecting to the deeper wisdom of your heart and spirit.​
Whether you are seeking clarity, healing, or a moment of deep connection with yourself, a cacao ceremony can be a profound gift.
