“Cacao opens the door. It’s up to you to walk through it.”

Keith Wilson

Cacao Ceremony

They say that when the world needs it, cacao will once again find its way out of the ancient forests and into the hearts of humankind so healing can occur. I am witnessing more and more people connect with this medicine. Perhaps you too are here to establish or deepen your relationship with cacao. If so, welcome. My own path, enriched by sitting in ceremony with Mayan wisdom keepers in Guatemala and connecting with the dedicated farmers and women's collectives who lovingly cultivate this sacred plant, has instilled in me a profound respect for cacao's transformative power. I received a blessing to carry on this work, and it has since been a commitment of mine to share the medicine of the heart.

Why is Cacao guidance important?

I don’t remember my first sip of cacao, but I do know the journey initially was not one of love. I didn’t like the taste and was left feeling dizzy, sick and confused. I thought of this thick drink as being nothing more than a bitter-tasting hot chocolate and I didn’t gain anything from my earliest experiences because I didn’t know how to connect with cacao as a medicine.

I am grateful, however, to have since encountered people and experiences that have opened me up to the healing properties, bliss and joy that cacao offers. With the right information, guidance and preparation my relationship with cacao has since blossomed. She has soothed me with her mothering energy, she nurtures my entire being into a state of calmness, love and trust. She allows me to feel, to release, to intuitively express myself and live more in line with my truth. She is gentle yet strong. She invites me to listen to the whispers of my heart, to dance with life as the ceremony it is and to offer love and blessings to all on this earth. She is a medicine like no other. And yet, I wonder, would I have developed this relationship with cacao if it wasn’t for the wisdom that I experienced from the farmers, indigenous wisdom keepers, women’s collectives and those who hold cacao ceremonies with deep reverence?

Why might you benefit from a Cacao Ceremony?

You might be wondering "Why might I need a cacao ceremony?" For me, it's about reconnecting with the whispers of your own heart. Cacao, a gentle yet powerful heart-opening medicine, invites you to explore the depths of your emotions, to feel, to gently untangle the knots of old stories or wounds that might be holding you back. She can be a guide to your creativity, a spark to ignite your passion and purpose, a gentle hand to lead you towards deeper self-love and joy.

Perhaps you're feeling a bit lost, stuck, or unsure of your next steps. Maybe you're noticing old patterns repeating, or feeling blockages around abundance or emotional healing. Perhaps you're feeling a pull to connect more deeply with your feminine essence, or seeking guidance on relationships, career, creativity, or your soul's purpose.

This is a deep and transformative journey, and I invite you to approach it with reverence and an open heart. I work intuitively, with a gentle, compassionate, and feminine touch, creating a safe and nurturing space for your exploration. The journey is deep, but never forced, always guided by the gentle wisdom of cacao and the loving container I hold for you.

    Cacao Ceremony Overview

    The cacao ceremony will honour the ancient traditions I have been blessed to learn, passed down by the wisdom keepers of cacao, while also embracing contemporary practices of our modern age. Each ceremony is unique, reflecting the personal intentions and energies of each participant, yet certain elements are commonly incorporated to maintain a connection to its roots.

    Elements of a Cacao Ceremony

    • Setting the Space: This may involve cleansing the space, creating an altar, opening sacred space by calling forth the elements, directions and spirit guides or simply lighting a candle. The aim is to ground us and invite in the spirit of cacao.

    • Intention Setting: You will be encouraged to set a personal intention. This practice honours the ancient belief in cacao's ability to open the heart, directing the energy of the ceremony, helping you stay present and engaged and creating a space for transformation to occur.

    • Cacao Consumption: Preparing and mindfully drinking cacao allows you to savour its rich flavours and connect with its nurturing properties. This moment is a tribute to the sacredness of cacao, the elements and the gift of being present in a sacred ceremony.

    • Meditation and Reflection: You will experience a guided meditation or silent reflection, to deepen your connection to self and the cacao. This practice helps you listen to your inner landscape and discover heart-felt clarity.

  • A cacao ceremony offers a profound and transformative experience, designed to connect you with your inner self and foster a deeper sense of wellbeing. I like to think if it as a ‘returning home to source', that most loving part of yourself. Here are some of the benefits you may experience:

    • Emotional Release and Healing: Cacao ceremonies provide a safe and supportive space to release emotional blockages, practice forgiveness, and cultivate gratitude.

    • Enhanced Heart Connection: Cacao's heart-opening properties allow you to connect more deeply with yourself and others, fostering empathy and compassion.

    • Spiritual Growth: By opening your heart and mind, you can access higher states of consciousness and spiritual insights.

    • Increased Intuition and Clarity: Cacao can enhance your intuition and clarity of thought, helping you make informed decisions and navigate life's challenges.

    • Mindful Presence: Cacao ceremonies encourage mindfulness and present-moment awareness, allowing you to fully engage in the experience.

    • Community Connection: Sharing the ceremony with others fosters a sense of belonging and connection to a supportive community.

    By participating in a cacao ceremony, you can unlock your full potential and embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

  • A cacao ceremony typically lasts between 1 to 3 hours. You cane expect a cacao ceremony with me to last between 90 to 120 minutes, depending on your needs and what arises when we sit with the medicine. The duration can vary depending on the number of participants, and the specific activities included. Please note that the effects of cacao may persist beyond the ceremony, depending on the dosage and individual sensitivity.

  • I offer cacao ceremonies in-person and online, both created with your unique needs in mind.

    If you choose to have a cacao ceremony online you will need to consider where to source your cacao from and the preparation, of which I can support you with if necessary. if you attend in-person everything you may need will be ready for you.

  • Without proper guidance, connecting with cacao's healing properties can present challenges. Medicines are designed to help us heal however not everybody is the same, meaning we don’t all need the same medicine, or the same amount. As cacao creates changes on a physical, emotional and spiritual level there are some contradictions to be aware of before consuming cacao. Having guidance can help you establish how much medicine may be right for you.

    Guidance with cacao can help you with the preparation stage, as well as when you are consuming the medicine. Often people find they feel the effects after the ceremony so having some information on how to best support your integration process can be vital to enhancing your overall experience.

    Furthermore, it is crucial to source cacao that is ethically produced and beneficial for both you and the planet.

  • Cacao has long been revered for its nutritional and spiritual significance. As a superfood, cacao is a rich source of antioxidants, magnesium, iron, and mood-boosting compounds, offering numerous health benefits. As a psychoactive, even a simple cup of cacao can can help us have more clarity and focus. Plus substances such as theobromine (cardiovascular stimulant), PEA (promotes feelings of love), anandamides (the bliss molecule) & MAOI’s, help to uplift your mood, protect your body from oxidative stress and inspire more creativity. ​

    A cacao ceremony provides a sacred space to connect with yourself and others, fostering a positive and uplifting state of mind. This powerful plant ally can facilitate spiritual growth, healing, and connection.
