Mama Cacao
Together we share the medicine of Cacao used centuries ago by our ancestors for healing, transformation and celebration.
Sacred Cacao Ceremony
A Heart Opening Experience.
By inviting the Spirit of Cacao we remember the abundance that is readily available to us through mother Earth.
We connect to ourselves and we raise the collective consciousness by uniting our energy and realising that the ultimate truth is always love.
Join us for a day of joy, connection, gratitude and love.
Let us come to you for a special Cacao Ceremony or Join one of our open sessions.
A Cacao Ceremony can be a Celebration of Life, a coming together of unique individuals who are ready to explore inner layers of themselves in order to learn and to grow. Here, one can truly experience how it feels to be free.
We combine many different creative tools during our Cacao experiences:
Yoga • Music • Dance • Intuitive Movement • Painting • Sacred Song • Meditation • Shamanic Journeying • Sound Healing • Journaling
What happens during a Cacao Ceremony ?
Usually we gather together in a clean and quiet space where we will not be disturbed by external distractions. The space has been decorated with plants, flowers and candles by the facilitators or if we are outdoors it would be extra special to light a fire.
As each Ceremony may have a different theme, the order of events during the ceremony can differ. In most cases the Cacao is introduced at the start, as a small introduction is offered about the history and origin of the plant. Following the introduction, we can begin to drink our Cacao. It is great to bring movement also in the start of the event so that the body can loosen up and the mind can be freed. Following this, usually some Sacred Singing is performed with Live Music where everyone is invited to participate.
Who can join a Cacao Ceremony ?
Everyone can join a Cacao Ceremony, however it would be good for the facilitators to know beforehand if children or pregnant women will be joining, so that the potency of Cacao offered is decreased. The Ceremony is not advised for babies or young children as there is a certain level of concentration required in order to participate. It is important that participants are focused and fully present while there.
* Please note that a Cacao Ceremony is NOT a performance. It is a group event where everyone will participate together showing respect towards one another.
What are the effects of Ceremonial Cacao ?
Our Ceremonial Grade Cacao drink is made from an organic and fair-trade cacao paste produced from Criollo Cacao beans, which are the purest variety found in the world. Criollo cacao plants are one of the most rare varieties to come across as they make up only 8% of the production of cacao globally. All the benefits of the plant are preserved as the beans are sun fermented and dried and then roasted with care on a fire. The gently roasted beans are then cleaned, handpicked and ground into a paste.
As you are drinking pure cacao without any preservatives or additives, you feel the full effects of the plant in your body. Ceremonial Cacao contains an abundance of theobromine that stimulates the cardiovascular system and can give you the feeling of warmth, creating openness. The plant is packed full of vitamins and minerals and can increase blood flow to the brain, which promotes awareness and clarity. The ancient ritual of drinking cacao was seen as the ultimate heart opener, helping the body to heal and detoxify.
What kind of themes can we explore in a Cacao Ceremony ?
The possibilities of weaving a theme into a Cacao Ceremony really are endless. Cacao pairs beautifully with movement such as Yoga or Dance, while it also works very well with guided meditation, journaling and sharing circles. During a Ceremony people start to open up and allow themselves to release past tensions and welcome in new possibilities. We love exploring the themes of ‘Self- Love & Healing’, ‘Exploration of Self’, ‘Harnessing Creativity’, ‘Stepping into Your Power’ and many others. Music and singing plays a very important role in all our Ceremonies, as they encourage people to let go of limitations and find their voice, while creating a sense of ease in the group.
A traditional Cacao Ceremony brings forth the Spirit of Cacao as we give our gratitude and our prayers towards this medicine. A Ceremony can be all about Celebration, Transformation and Healing or just bringing a group of souls together to share the experience of this abundant and blessed life, while the Cacao encourages openness and softly guides people into sharing and caring.
