Mama Cacao Experiences

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.

About the Sound:

We are delighted to welcome you to the second year of the Mama Cacao Showcase, a series of intimate gatherings where music, cacao, movement, and community come together in the heart of nature.
These evenings are created as a space to celebrate presence, creativity, and connection. Under the open sky and surrounded by the quiet beauty of the forest, we gather to share ceremonial cacao and experience a carefully curated musical journey.
Each edition of the Showcase features a special guest artist, making every gathering unique. Together with Jkson, our guest will guide us through a night of sound, rhythm, and movement—an invitation to open the heart, awaken the body, and celebrate the joy of being alive.
This is more than a performance; it is a shared experience where music becomes a bridge between inner reflection and collective celebration.

## The Journey

Cacao Ceremony
We begin by opening the circle with the sacred medicine of Mama Cacao, brought from the lands of Peru. This ancient plant has been used for centuries to support connection, presence, and heartfelt communication.

Music & Ecstatic Dance Journey
Together with a special guest artist, Jkson will guide the musical journey of the evening. This part of the gathering invites free movement and authentic expression. There are no steps and no expectations—only space to listen to your body and move in your own rhythm.

Closing Circle
We end the evening in a moment of gratitude and sharing, allowing space to integrate the experience and connect with the community.
