Cacao Ceremony

A cacao ceremony is a sacred gathering where participants drink ceremonial-grade cacao to promote heart-opening, connection, and self-discovery.

Cacao ceremonies have been practiced for centuries, with their origins traced back to ancient Mesoamerican cultures. The ceremony uses cacao as a sacred beverage for spiritual, healing, and social purposes.

Take a moment to unwind and reconnect with your inner self in this nourishing and creative workshop. We’ll begin by sipping a cup of artisanal cacao, lovingly crafted by a small cooperative in Peru (or from a small family farm in Costa Rica I just returned from). 

This helps to open the heart and awaken the senses. From there, we'll ease into a soothing, guided journey designed to deepen your soul connection and bring clarity.

Next, let your creativity bloom as we dive into intuitive botanical art supported and inspired by sacred gardens and powerful mountains that surround us. 

Gift yourself with time to BE and to express your inner world through colors, textures, and natural forms. You may be surprised at what emerges. 

No experience needed—just bring your open heart and curiosity! 

Whether you're new to art, looking for a fresh outlet, or for an active meditative experience-- this is your space to let growth within you blossom into an outer expression of your soul’s voice.

All materials are provided, but feel free to bring your own creative tools if you'd like. Come, create, and let your heART shine from the inside out!

You’ll be held in a space of non-judgment, reflection, and grounded support. No need to “do” anything. No dogma. Just show up.

You may find clarity. You may feel release. It’s all welcome here.

Read what some have said:

  • If you’re looking or a transformative cacao experience, look no further than Joan! Her warmth and professionalism put me and my friend instanty at ease. Joan’s ceremony was expertly crafted, incorporating beautiful tools and meaningful prompts. Her carefully prepared cacao was a rich treat, and the guided meditation was the perfect bridge to open and honest conversation. We left feeling connected, rejuvenated, and incredibly grateful for Joan’s talent and care. Highly recommend! ~JB

  • I was 100% present and at the same time 100% transported somewhere else. I’ve never had an experience like this. It was profound. ~SA

  • The cacao ceremony led by Joan put my partner and I at ease almost immediately as we were invited to go within. The sound of her voice and musical selections took me to a beautiful place where I could ponder how far I’ve come, what I’ve come to let go of, and where I plan to go; a vibrant, colorful future that the guided meditations helped me imagine. Thank you, Joan, for your spiritual insightfulness, warm presence, worldly experiences, and inspiration to take risks and live with abandon. ~AK

It's more than a drink:

it's a ritual of love, connection, and self-discovery.
