Sacred Cacao Ceremonies
Why a healing ceremony involving raw cacao/raw chocolate???
Used in ceremony, this sacred plant medicine, has the ability to open our hearts bringing us insights and giving us at times recollections of past events.
Through gentle guiding, using shamanic tools such as meditation, breath and sound, powerful shifts can occur as we recognize what blocks us and prevents us from living our full potential. Cacao, known as Theobroma cacao ("The Food of the Gods" or "Gods food"), works on many levels with our bodies; spiritually, mentally, physically as well as emotionally. Every aspects gets addressed, which is what few other plant medicines can say.
To name a few of the effects of cacao:
- release of dopamine (the feeling that we have when we fall in Love)
- endorphins (a natural pain suppressant)
- due to the amino acid tryptophan (that which relaxes one) the joy and benefit of serotonin (a natural anti- depressant)
- as well as anandamide (Bliss hormone).
These are only a few keys, that help us to unlock things we once might've once stored away.
By living with old aspects of blame, shame and guilts it makes it hard to move forward; and unless we see/recognize these patterns and are willing to let them go- nothing will change. With the help of the cacao devas, the spirit beings of cacao, these shifts can occur as they assist us in this transformation.
In the event that you desire more personal time to find resolution, answers etc. I am also available for individual sessions and couples counseling/coaching. These healing ceremonies/sessions can also then again include, yet not be limited to, raw cacao and usually last for about two to three hours.

Suggestions -Guidelines - Warnings
Yes, raw cacao/raw chocolate might be a food, however there are some suggestions I personally recommend for people to follow, in order to have the best experience possible, based on my experience and that of my teacher. Cacao and it's devas are here to include everybody in a unified field and not to create separation. So YES, I would always love for everybody to participate in my ceremonies- I would like to express, concern however when it comes to certain medical pre-conditions. Individuals with MS, severe heart conditions, and individuals on certain medications such as anti-depressants, are advised to check with their physician before attending a ceremony, as well as letting me personally know of any existing conditions.
