Embark on an intentional journey of open-heartedness, gratitude, and self-discovery. Begin by honoring the sacred medicine of cacao, a plant with roots in the Amazon that has been revered for over 5,300 years. Cacao was first domesticated and used in ceremonies at the spiral-shaped Huaca Montegrande temple in northern Peru, and also in Palanda, Ecuador. Over centuries, it has been traded and shared across cultures, from the Marañón civilization in northern Peru to the Maya and Olmec peoples of Mesoamerica, connecting diverse communities through its powerful legacy.
​
I am honored to offer Cacao Rituals that celebrate my ancestors, my roots, and the indigenous communities who have long been the guardians of this sacred plant. In my cacao circles, I weave together practices such as sound healing, conscious breathing, Reiki energy work, voice empowerment, guided meditation, and reflective journaling. Whether you seek to deepen your spiritual practice, ignite creativity, or commemorate a significant milestone, a Cacao Ritual provides a pathway to personal growth and transformation.​
