Cacao ceremonies

The food of the gods

Promote your spiritual growth, connect to your higher self and communicate with the divine.

The medicine

Open your heart with cacao

Cacao is a plant medicine that helps us to connect with our higher selves. It is not a psychedelic, it is the food of the gods. It promotes spiritual growth and facilitates communication with the divine.

And it is not just a spiritual phenomenon, it has physical benefits too. Cacao contains caffeine, which stimulates the nervous system, and theobromine, which motivates blood flow, increasing the production of serotonin and leading to a positive and sensual mood.

Where it comes from

I use cacao sourced directly from the indigenous tribes in the Amazon Rainforest. I’ve gained the respect of the Yawanawá tribe in Brazil through my cacao ceremonies, which were initially unrecognised there.

Every ceremony becomes a tree

As a cacao ceremony facilitator, I hold cacao ceremonies around the world. Each time I pour cacao for a circle of people, I think of Mushuinu village, because the money I make goes to them. All of it goes to support the project.

Today more than 500 Theobroma trees are growing in Mushuinu.

About the ceremony

All my ceremonies are unique

Before any ceremony, I meditate and look to Mama Cacao for guidance. I work with my shamanic roots to see the life of the Divine Light in every single being. Shamanism creates connection, and through that connection I am guided on how to create a ceremony that is perfect for you.

I use natural ingredients — sea salt, rose water, organic rose petals, and a unique blend of spices tailored to each ceremony — to create a culturally authentic experience.

Inside the circle

During a ceremony, we enter into a sacred, symbolic enactment of intent.

This intense enactment elicits powerful holistic responses within the individual psyche and the whole group participating. It creates a rich opportunity for connection, healing, change and manifestation.

The ingredients I use are intentional. They relate directly to your needs and are guided by Mama Cacao, so that you get the spiritual guidance you need. I am led by my spiritual connections and ancestral guides to help you connect better with your inner spirit.

I also use Solfeggio tuning forks, because specific frequencies promote healing — DNA repairing, physical healing, opening the heart and so much more. Having a sense of the individuals before the ceremony means I can use the forks to meet additional needs. It is an intentionally bespoke experience.

Cacao ceremony is also suitable for couples. Cacao helps couples to feel closer to each other on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. It can also help them to appreciate each other’s unique qualities and gifts. A date night experience worth having.

The cacao ceremony is a welcoming space for individuals and groups, for complete beginners and those who are more experienced.

The benefits

What cacao does

The body

Cacao is rich in minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, and packed with flavonoids; these nutrients have been shown to help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the brain and heart.

The heart

Cacao helps us to find a better sense of who we are, understanding ourselves and others better. By drinking cacao we open up our heart chakras. You’ll feel a heightened sense of clarity, confidence and connection, which will ripple throughout your life.

With an open heart, we can experience a genuine feeling of unconditional love for others and, most importantly, ourselves.

What people say

“It was my first time I’d taken part in any kind of spiritual ceremony. I was very surprised how it drew out emotions that I wasn’t aware I had buried. It has opened my mind to what can be addressed during these practices.”

“I have been part of many ceremonies before, but with Marcia it felt very special. She was very thoughtful and professional. Her attention to detail felt very genuine. She is an incredible soul, willing to increase the overall consciousness.”

“The ceremony was so powerful and moving for me. When I met with my inner child, she was holding my cat that I grew up with, who we had for 16 years. It was so beautiful to see my cat again, and to see that love and connection. It was so special. Thank you.”

“Marcia does everything with pure intention and love. Her connection with her ancestors, the elements, the Cacao, was so evident and it created the ideal ceremony for me to have a profound, heart opening experience.”
