Ceremonial Cacao
A Heart-Opening Daily Ritual
Ceremonial cacao is a sacred plant medicine, sourced with reverence and integrity from Central America, where ancestral wisdom and the spirit of cacao run deep. This is not hot chocolate - this is a heart-opening, soul-nourishing experience designed to ground you in presence, awaken your intuition, and reconnect you with yourself and the earth.
Unlike coffee, cacao offers grounded energy, mental focus, and a sense of well-being, without the jitters or crash. Every sip becomes a mindful ritual, creating space for presence in your day.
What Makes Our Cacao Different?
Ceremonial Grade - ground from whole cacao beans, our cacao is 100% pure and minimally processed, retaining its medicinal properties, rich fats, and deep chocolate flavor.
Ethically & Sustainably Sourced - we work with indigenous farmers and women-led cooperatives in Central America through Cacao Source. Every batch supports local communities, traditional farming practices, and environmental preservation.

What is a Cacao Circle and Ceremonial Cacao?
A cacao circle is a sacred gathering where participants share ceremonial-grade cacao mindfully and intentionally. Rooted in ancient traditions, this heart-opening practice fosters connection, self-reflection, and inner peace. Cacao is a warm, chocolatey beverage that I prepare ahead of time and bring to share in a circle. The cacao's natural properties support emotional balance, enhance focus, and promote feelings of love and gratitude, making it a powerful tool for personal growth and community bonding. Cacao pairs lovely with sound, setting intention and mindfulness with the cacao, then easing into the sound bath. A couple of considerations to note: cacao and alcohol should not be mixed and any participants currently on antidepressants or pregnant should not consume cacao.
Mat Rentals
While typically not required for sound baths, mats are available for rental, $5 each to cover transportation and cleaning/disinfecting between parties.
