What is a Cacao Ceremony?
Cacao carries the frequencies of love, balance, and compassion, allowing a deep, loving connection with yourself, others, and nature.​​
​
My Journey Connecting with Cacao
I was drawn to work with Cacao because I felt called to connect with a gentle and accessible plant medicine to deepen my relationship with nature.
Let’s be honest: I absolutely love chocolate. The idea of bringing people together in a sacred circle, sharing a warm cup of ceremonial cacao, and dropping into the heart space filled me with so much joy. I knew this was a path I had to follow.
​
In 2018, I worked with the lovely Serap Kara, founder of The Earth School and Cacao Mama Ceremony Training in Berlin. I learned the beauty of how to prepare and serve cacao with deep reverence and to honour it as a wise, loving teacher. Cacao isn’t just a delicious drink; it’s a sacred medicine of the heart, and it continues to guide me with softness and clarity every day.

What is a Cacao Ceremony?
Cacao ceremonies have ancient roots, originating in the Mayan and Aztec traditions of Central and South America. For thousands of years, cacao has been used as a spiritual and medicinal plant to awaken inner truth, activate creativity, and deepen connection.
​​
A Cacao Ceremony is a gentle yet powerful space to:
-
Connect with your heart
-
Set personal intentions
-
Receive clarity or healing
-
Honour life transitions
-
Feel nourished—emotionally, spiritually, and physically
This is not a psychedelic experience—cacao doesn’t take you out of your body; it brings you into your body. It guides you to listen inward, move gently, and connect deeply.​​​​​
