Intention Setting with Guided Meditation and Ceremonial Grade Cacao

Cacao Ceremonies are a sacred space where we celebrate the ancient plant medicine Cacao which has been used for centuries to open the heart and aid us in getting into our  “feels”.  In our current culture we have adapted to moving through life in a mental focused frenzy.  These ceremonies can help to balance out the mental with the emotional and bring us back to a state of harmony and inner peace. A space much more conducive to living an intentional, purposeful, life.

The setting is peaceful and serene allowing for ease and flow, the perfect combination for expanding on or arriving at an intention you’d like to embody in your life.  

What you can expect

First we Bless the Cacao acknowledging and honoring it’s sacred nature, spirit and the traditional role this plant medicine has played in native ceremonies all over the world.

Opening we start with a short grounding meditation focusing on the breath, to encourage connection to your inner landscape and the group.

Then my favorite part, Drinking the Cacao, we slowly drink the cacao, focusing on its taste, texture, and the sensation of consuming it. This is done mindfully, in silence, to fully appreciate the experience.

Followed by a Meditation and Inner Journey, after drinking the cacao, you are invited to lie down or sit comfortably while being guided through a meditation letting the cacao aid in opening the heart and facilitate deep introspection, emotional release, and spiritual insight.

Expression and Sharing following the mediation, you are invited to express or share anything about your experience. This can be done through verbal sharing, journaling, or creative expression like drawing or movement.  This step is helpful for integrating the insights gained during the ceremony.

Finally, we Close the circle concluding with a closing ritual, for grounding in your experience and incorporating the lessons, insights and learnings into your everyday life.
