Mama Cacao Experiences

A space to return to what is essential
We invite you to take part in a ritual gathering for men, created for those who feel the call to pause, breathe, and reconnect with their inner strength in a safe and authentic space.
We gather in the forest, around the grandfather fire, to share ceremonial cacao and form a circle of presence, listening, and brotherhood.
This is not a workshop, nor a talk, nor a “self-improvement” experience.
It is a living space of encounter, where each man is welcome exactly as he is.
There are no hierarchies here, no masks to wear.
Only men walking their own path, supported by the strength of the circle.
Who is this gathering for?

• This circle is open to men who:
• Seek a more honest connection with themselves.
• Feel the desire to inhabit their masculinity with greater awareness and maturity.
• Value silence, authentic speech, and presence.
• Wish to experience brotherhood beyond competition or judgment.
• Are willing to listen and to be listened to.
• No previous experience with circles, rituals, or spiritual practices is required. Only a willingness to be present.

What we will experience together
During this gathering of approximately two hours, we will move through simple yet profound practices, guided with care and clarity:

• Ceremonial Cacao Circle, Cacao as a heart medicine, supporting openness, listening, and authentic expression.
• Sacred Fire, The grandfather fire as the center of the gathering, witness to our intentions and processes.
• Meditation and Presence, Moments of silence and inner connection, held by the group.
• Talking Circle, A safe space to share from truth, without advice or judgment.
• Connection with Nature: The forest as a living temple that reminds us of what truly matters.
• Expression and Rhythm: An optional moment of music, song, or percussion to integrate the experience.

Each gathering honors the energy of conscious masculinity, integrating strength and sensitivity, direction and openness.

We are deeply excited to reunite with our beloved Zurich community for the second year of our gathering series — and to begin this new cycle with a renewed and powerful concept.

This year, 3 of our 7 events at the stunning main hall of Kraftwerk Zurich will be dedicated to a Cacao & Conscious Connected Breathwork Ritual: a carefully curated experience designed to support profound transformation, emotional release, and inner breakthroughs.

This practice is an invitation to reconnect with your vital life force, explore expanded states of awareness, and integrate new tools for daily life — guided by outstanding local and international facilitators.

The journey is held by the heart-opening medicine of ceremonial cacao, enriched by live music, and supported by a safe, intentional space that allows you to go deep while feeling fully held.

We are thrilled to welcome summer with the return of our beloved Mama Cacao Jam Session, now in its third year. A space where cacao, music, and community merge to create a journey of presence, connection, and joy.

In each session, acoustic and electronic instruments guide us through soundscapes that awaken the senses and invite us to fully inhabit the present moment. This is the perfect opportunity to meet friends, connect with new souls, and celebrate life together.

We warmly welcome artists, musicians, singers, poets, writers, painters, dancers, and anyone drawn to this invitation. Whether you wish to actively participate or simply enjoy as a spectator, your presence is a gift.

The event has a picnic-style setup, so bring a blanket, settle on the grass, and allow yourself to be immersed in music and cacao. Feel free to bring your instruments, voice, poems, or art supplies to create, share, or simply enjoy the experience. Well-behaved pets are always welcome.

✨ What to Expect:

We are in the heart of summer, and nature calls us to pause, breathe, and reconnect. This full moon, we return with the second year edition of our creative laboratory, the Horizontal Audiovisual Experience.

In the middle of the forest, with immersive sound and visuals, we guide you on a journey to your innermost being. A space for healing, enjoyment, and sharing, with your body embraced by Mother Earth.

This is a horizontal, immersive experience: a journey to be felt lying down, with images that can be observed with open or closed eyes. Warm ceremonial cacao invites the heart to remain present as sound opens new inner landscapes.

• Cacao circle with medicine from Peru
• Live visuals by Diogo
• Sound healing journey with Jkson & Friends
• Closing circle to share and connect
