Holiday Cacao Ceremony: Honoring All Traditions

Join us Sunday for a holiday cacao ceremony celebrating diverse traditions and welcoming the new year with open hearts. This gathering creates space to honor both ancient and modern celebrations while setting meaningful intentions for the path ahead.

Feel free to invite loved ones who might benefit from this intentional pause during the busy holiday season. If you can't join us this time, we'll host more ceremonies in the new year.

New to Cacao? What to Expect:
Ceremonial cacao is pure, minimally processed chocolate in its most potent form. Unlike regular hot chocolate, this sacred drink is prepared with intention and prayer. The experience is gentle yet profound, often bringing feelings of openness, connection, and presence. During this special holiday ceremony, we'll work with cacao's heart-opening properties to:

• Honor diverse cultural traditions and celebrations
• Release what no longer serves us from the past year
• Set meaningful intentions for the year ahead
• Connect deeply with community during this sacred season

Schedule

• Arrival & Welcome: 20 minutes for settling in, sharing holiday tea, and meeting fellow participants
• Guided Ceremony: We will offer several servings of wild-harvested Peruvian cacao, intention setting, sharing, meditation
• Integration & Connection: 30 minutes for reflection, community building, and optional sharing of holiday traditions
