Sacred Cacao Ceremony
Details
Welcome to the world of chocolate as you've never seen it before.
When we do cacao ceremonies we do them with love! We invite you to join us for a magical evening involving ceremonial raw cacao, meditation, healing and connection. People who attend these ceremonies notice that in the days that follow, blockages in their lives shift, powerful synchronicities occur and even deep healings take place. All with the help of some delicious chocolate! You’ll also receive an awesome goodie bag sampling high vibrational, raw products from some of the UK’s best health and wellness brands. The usual cost for this evening is £33, however to spread the summer love we're offering a special introductory offer of 25% off at £25 <3 We want this to be available to everyone, so we do offer concessions... please message us directly if this applies to you.

The space will be held by ourselves, Ananja Isis and Tim Michell. We feel blessed to have a very sacred relationship, and we love extending that energy out to others, holding a safe space in which healing and connection can occur. We ensure the space is very high vibrational to ensure the best experience for all who attend. We cleanse the space with sage, frankincense and incense, and we work with the archangelic realms to transmute any dense energies that are released.

At a ceremony, we sit in a circle and drink a lovingly-prepared sacred cacao elixir. This is made using the purest A-grade raw organic rainforest cacao that is hand-picked and prepared by indigenous Guatemalan locals. When we make the elixir we use distilled water that has been charged with crystals under the light of the most recent full or new moon, in this case the full moon on the 29th August. We also use our incredibly powerful John of God crystal. This synchronises us to the deeper patterns and cycles of nature and the Divine. We also bless the cacao and use a delicious and soothing blend of organic herbs and spices to create a truly heart-warming drink!

As the chocolate takes effect, you'll feel your heart chakra gently expand as you’re guided on a healing meditation and journey. When working with the cacao spirit, you can ask her to show you what is unseen, to show you the next steps on your path or simply to come out and play. The circle provides a safe and nurturing space for clearing, healing and release work. All you need to do is turn up, relax with the cacao, and surrender! You will leave feeling lighter and more energised.

Cacao is safe to drink in the quantity provided unless:
• You are taking anti-depressants (as the natural chemicals interact with the active component in anti-depressants)
• You have a serious heart condition. This is because cacao increases the blood flow to the brain and the rest of the body by 30-40%
• It is safe to drink when pregnant though we may reduce your dose a little.
If you have any concerns about these please feel free to get in touch with us beforehand.
How to prepare for the Cacao Ceremony:
• Fasting is not necessary, however it’s best not to eat for a couple of hours beforehand
• Make sure you drink plenty of water in the lead up to, during and after the ceremony
• Avoid drinking caffeine on the day of the ceremony – you may feel jittery from the combination of the caffeine and the cacao, and it is not recommended for the kind of inner journeying work we will be doing
• Dress in loose, comfortable clothing
What to bring
• A large bottle of water. Cacao is a diuretic and it’s important you stay well hydrated
• A cushion and yoga mat so you can make yourself comfortable on the floor
• A blanket/pashmina and jumper to stay warm - when journeying it can get a little chilly!
• Something to cover your eyes with (like a scarf or handkerchief) to block out the light and help you turn your focus within

Ananja and Tim xxx
