Cacao Ceremonies

What is it?

Cacao Ceremonies are intentional gatherings that utilize ceremonial-grade cacao as a gentle plant medicine to open the heart and facilitate emotional connection. Rather than a physical workout, this practice is a restorative, introspective journey. It often combines the drinking of warm, nutrient-rich cacao with guided meditation, breathwork, sound healing, and sometimes gentle mindful movement.

Who is it for?

Perfect for anyone feeling disconnected, stressed, or seeking a safe space for emotional processing and quiet contemplation. No prior experience with yoga or ceremonies is required.

Key Benefits

Deep Relaxation

What to Expect

● The Preparation

You will settle into a comfortable seated or lying position using bolsters and blankets. The ceremony begins with the serving of warm, ceremonial cacao, prepared with intention and care. We take time to set personal intentions for the session before drinking.

● The Journey

As the cacao takes effect-usually inducing a subtle, warming sensation rather than any psychoactive effects-the facilitator guides the room through meditations, breathing exercises, or sound baths. You are simply invited to close your eyes, listen, and observe whatever arises within.

Common Questions

Is cacao psychedelic?

No. Ceremonial cacao is a non-psychoactive plant medicine. It contains theobromine, which gently stimulates the cardiovascular system and induces a warm, heart-opening sensation without altering your perception of reality.

How should I prepare?

It is recommended to eat lightly a few hours before the ceremony and avoid dairy or heavy caffeine, as they can inhibit the body's absorption of the cacao's nutrients.
