Does chocolate make you happy?
Cacao goes one step further: it reminds you that happiness isn’t something you find — it’s something you remember.
Not through sugar, but through connection. To yourself. To others. To life.
The Roots of the Cacao Ceremony
Cacao ceremonies are rooted in the indigenous traditions of Central and South America.
There, cacao isn’t just a drink — it’s medicine for the heart, a bridge to the soul.
The Mayans and Aztecs revered cacao as sacred. Its original name, Theobroma Cacao, means: “Food of the Gods.”
But don’t worry — you don’t have to believe in gods to feel how this bitter elixir softens your heart.
What Happens in a Ceremony?
A cacao ceremony is like a little ritual for your inner world:
You gather in a circle, drink lovingly prepared ceremonial cacao, and drop into a space of music, silence, reflection, prayer, or movement.
And then… you listen.
Not necessarily to others — but to yourself.
Cacao’s effects are gentle. No psychedelic fireworks — more like emotional lanterns.
It doesn’t take you away — it helps you come back.
But What If I Don’t Feel Anything?
That’s perfectly okay.
Cacao doesn’t push. It knocks.
And sometimes, you don’t open the door right away. That’s part of its magic.
Cacao invites — never demands.
Music for Mama Cacao
Because music and cacao go hand in hand, this little heart-song was born — a simple, loving hymn to the spirit of cacao:
Spirit of Cacao I welcome you.
Mama Cacao I welcome you.
Open my Heart for Love.
Open my Soul for this Life.
Guide me dancing on this sacred Earth.
Open me for the Divine.
Sing along, listen with your eyes closed, or sip a warm cup of cacao and let it wash over you.
What to Expect in a Ceremony:
- Ceremonial cacao from ethical sources, lovingly prepared
- A safe space where everything is welcome
- Music, song, and heartfelt presence
- Time to connect — with yourself and others
- Space for silence, tears, laughter, or dance
Sometimes there are also cozy blankets, spontaneous humor, or a rubber duck —
because the heart loves a little lightness alongside the depth.
