Cacao & Crystals: A Heart Opening Journey

A heart-opening journey for deeper connection, intuition, and inner wisdom.
About this Event

Immerse yourself in a transformative experience that blends the nurturing warmth of ceremonial cacao with the subtle, healing energies of crystals.

This gathering is designed to gently open your heart, quiet the mind, and help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that are ready to be heard.

We’ll begin by sipping ceremonial cacao—an ancient plant medicine known for enhancing clarity, compassion, and emotional openness.


As we move into the meditative portion of the ceremony, you’ll hold intuitively selected crystals, allowing their energies to support reflection, insight, and personal messages that arise from within.

From there, we shift into a supportive sharing circle where you’re invited (never required) to reflect on what came through and explore how these messages resonate with your inner journey.

This workshop is a space of warmth, connection, and grounded spirituality—perfect for anyone seeking deeper self-awareness, energetic alignment, or simply a heart-centered evening of intention and community.

Health & Safety Considerations

Cacao is a gentle plant medicine, but like any food or beverage, it may not be suitable for everyone in large amounts. If you have any concerns, please check in with the facilitator before the ceremony.

Heart & Circulatory Health: Cacao is a natural stimulant and can gently increase heart rate and circulation. If you have a heart condition or very low/high blood pressure, consider having a smaller serving.

Medications & Sensitivities: If you take Medic*tion for mood regulation (such as SSRIs or MAO inhibitors), have sensitivity to caffeine/stimulants, or experience migraines triggered by chocolate, a lighter dose may be ideal.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Cacao is generally safe in moderation, but due to its stimulating properties, those who are pregnant or nursing may choose to consume a smaller amount or simply participate without drinking cacao.

Dietary Considerations: Drinking cacao on an empty stomach may feel intense for some. Having a light meal beforehand and staying hydrated before and after the ceremony can help prevent headaches or lightheadedness.

This is a supportive and flexible experience—if you feel called to drink a little less cacao or simply be present for the ceremony, that is always an option.
