A cacao ceremony opens the door of the heart, allowing deep transformation.
Whichever your path, the intention of the ceremony is yours to set, and, when called upon with reverence, the cacao deva aligns you with the insight and awareness required to move towards that shift.
One treasure of working with ceremonial cacao is its capacity to facilitate extremely rich and often visionary, perceptive inner work. Ixcacao, the cacao deva, has an intelligent, gentle and well-crafted means of delivery that allows participants to slip effortlessly within to explore these deep, inner terrains. After guided meditations and a shamanic sound journey through the elements, space for journalling is provided so insights can be noted – it can often take days, weeks or even months for the revelatory meaning of these whispers from the beyond to be fully understood.
With over one thousand chemical constituents, the bitter beans from the chocolate tree might well be the most pharmacologically complex food in nature. The alkaloids, neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, vitamins and minerals specific to cacao have a particularly nourishing effect on the human body, and these effects are amplified when using beans that have been fermented by burying underground in the traditional way. This ancient method of processing distinguishes ceremonial grade cacao from raw or processed chocolate powders available in health shops and supermarkets.
I have been crafting elixirs from these beautiful beans since 2012 and I adore sharing this chocolately love wherever I go! Ceremonies are hosted here at the New Brighton Arts Lab, and I also love to travel with my delicious recipes!
