Ceremonial Cacao- A Sacred Journey for the Soul
Welcome to a sacred experience that invites you to reconnect with your heart and spirit. Our Ceremonial Cacao offerings are more than just a drink – they are a powerful, transformative ritual designed to open the heart, elevate your spirit, and foster deep connection to yourself and others.
What is Ceremonial Cacao?
Ceremonial cacao is a rich, pure form of cacao that is harvested and prepared with the utmost care and reverence, specifically for ceremonial and spiritual purposes. Unlike the everyday chocolate we may consume, ceremonial cacao is traditionally used in ancient rituals to promote emotional healing, enhance intuition, and connect to the divine.
My cacao is ethically sourced, high-quality beans from Peru, crafted in small batches to preserve the integrity of its natural medicinal properties. It is intentionally prepared with love, offering you a sacred tool for self-reflection, healing, and awakening. Check out my blog about Ceremonial Cacao
The Experience
When you join us for a Ceremonial Cacao session, it’s more than enjoying a warm yummy chocolate drink (although it is that too;) – you’re being invited into a deeper state of presence. Each ceremony is thoughtfully guided, offering a space for you to unwind, relax, and connect with your inner wisdom.
Ceremonial grade cacao is known for its heart-opening properties, helping you feel more connected, grounded, and aligned with your true self. It’s an opportunity to release emotional blockages, tap into your creative potential, and experience a profound sense of peace and clarity.

What to Expect from My Cacao Ceremony and Sound Bath
Join me for a 90-minute cacao ceremony and sound bath, designed to create a deeply nurturing and transformative experience. The session begins with a 40-minute cacao ceremony, followed by a relaxing sound bath to help you integrate the experience.
Upon arrival, the space is cleansed with essential oils and sound, setting a peaceful tone. You’ll receive an optional vibrational cleanse using tuning forks or a gentle rattle, followed by the opportunity to choose an oracle card if you wish.
The ceremony begins with gentle drumming, where you’ll be invited to set an intention. I’ll serve warm, ceremonial-grade cacao, made with organic gluten-free organic oat milk and organic maple syrup. As we sip together, I’ll guide a brief meditation to help you connect with the cacao on a heart level. You’re welcome to share your experience or reflect privately afterward.
Following the heart-centred ceremony, you’ll relax into a soothing sound bath, with healing sounds from gong, chimes, and bowls to deepen your connection and integration.
Tailored to Your Needs
These ceremonies are a part of my regular community events in Kent and East Sussex. I also offer personalized cacao ceremonies for private events, retreats, and celebrations. Whether as part of a Retreat Day, a Guided Mindful Walk in Nature, or any other special occasion, I can tailor the ceremony to align with your event's unique energy. As long as it honours the sacredness of this plant medicine, the ceremony can be adapted to suit the needs and intentions of your gathering.
