The Ancient Ritual of Cacao + Ceremony with Ashley Bennett

 60 minutes · Add-on Experience

What is a Cacao Ceremony?

Have you heard the stirring whispers of Cacao Ceremony but weren't quite sure what it means or what to expect? A Cacao Ceremony is a guided ritual centered around ceremonial-grade cacao — used for centuries in ancient tradition as a heart-opening plant medicine that connects body, spirit, and community.

In this experience, you'll learn the long history of cacao and how it was used in ceremony, then share in preparing and drinking a traditional cup together — served in gratitude and love for the spirit of Cacao, the Earth, and all those who steward her. It's an invitation to slow down, open your heart, and connect — with yourself and with the circle around you.

No prior experience is needed.

This is a gentle, welcoming introduction for first-timers as well as a meaningful return for those who already know and love this ritual.  Led by Ashley Bennett — Reiki Master, Sound Healer & Cacao Guide.  See Ashley's full bio →
