Cacao Ceremony
"With every sip, we soften. With every heartbeat, we remember. Cacao opens the space where truth sits quietly waiting to be heard."
What is a Cacao Ceremony?
A Cacao Ceremony is a ritual or spiritual gathering where people drink ceremonial-grade cacao (often as a warm, bitter drink) to connect more deeply with themselves and others. It’s rooted in ancient Mayan and Aztec traditions, where cacao was considered sacred.
