WHAT IS CACAO CEREMONY? CACAO PREPARATION, RITUALS, PHYSICAL AND METAPHYSICAL BENEFITS

Updated: May 4, 2023


Cacao ceremony usually involves a communal gathering with a sacred circle, music and of course, ceremonial cacao. While I notice the strongest effects of cacao in a group ceremony, I also have it daily as part of my morning ritual.

Enjoying ceremonial cacao can help you connect with your heart and be a gentle guide through transformational consciousness shifts.

I’ve tried drinking cacao with and without creating a sacred intentional space, and the difference of the effect is mind-boggling.

The Healing Benefits Can Be Amazing.


energy is healing, motherly and very gentle. Mama Cacao speaks to the heart. When we connect with the heart’s energy our voice may speak from a place of deeper intelligence carrying vibrations of peace. “ Whenever the balance between humans and nature becomes threatened, Ahau Kakaw ( Sacred Cacao) comes from the rain forest to open people’s hearts and returns us all to harmony.” Cacao is more than chocolate, it is a spiritual dimension, an intelligence that we cannot perceive with the mind, but with the heart, the intuition and through feelings. Cacao ceremonies are a beautiful way to connect a group and friends and set intentions from the heart, build deeper connections with one another, open a space of sharing or just being in togetherness. This is a lovely practice to create a Sacred Heart Space for yourself. Celebrating and honoring Cacao as a sacred drink in a space of togetherness at ceremonies or rituals is an ancient tradition, originating from the Mayas and Aztecs in Central and South America. Cacao was honoured and sacrificed at fire ceremonies, child birth, weddings and more since many years ago. The benefits of cacao are various from being a soft, sustainable energizer through theobromine, a stimulater for happiness, pleasure and motivation though seratonin and dopamine production. Cacao is very nutritious containing vitamins, antioxidants, lots of minerals and healthy fats. Cacao empowers the human heart. Cacao invites us to come back to a natural state of feeling (rather than over-thinking).

You may feel a deep connection to the world around you.

Cacao acts on the physical body, offering nutrients, minerals and feeling-good hormones. Blood circulation is accelerated up to 40%. Cacao speaks to the emotional body and the inner child. Her energy can be very gentle, very (grand)motherly, tender, and loving. The pure cacao ceremony has been introduced not so long ago, as the spirit plants are coming back in these times to support the opening and the shift towards the heart space. Cacao is a wonderful catalyst for healing work and supports us in making a connection with our heart and experiencing a deeper connection with ourselves and everything around us. I had beautiful experiences with Mother Cacao in Brazil and in Guatemala and I received a call from my spirituality and my Brazilian shaman to facilitate ceremonies and hold sacred spaces giving other people the opportunity to receive this medicine from the rainforest in a sacred and safe way.


My mission is unlock your heart chakra, bring you healing and elevate your energy in a beautiful experience where you will raise your Kundalini energy and release many of traumas and blockages with breathwork, meditations, medicine music and dance with a very special and powerful Cacao from Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.
