Cacao Ceremony

Join Jess for an intimate gathering where we step away from the noise of daily life and experience what it feels like to be fully present.
Through ceremonial cacao, ritual, vocal activation, live music, mantra and sacred sharing, we’ll journey into connection - with ourselves and with each other.
What to Expect:
Ceremonial cacao
Powerful grounding rituals
Guided vocal activation
Live mantra & medicine music
Group chanting
Sacred sharing circle
Connection & community
Why Vocal Activation?:
Chanting in groups has been shown to regulate the nervous system, reduce stress hormones and increase feelings of connection and wellbeing. Through rhythmic breath and sound, we stimulate the vagus nerve, helping the body shift into a grounded, heart-led state.
About the Cacao:
We’ll be drinking pure ceremonial-grade cacao - a natural plant medicine traditionally used for heart-opening rituals and community connection. It contains theobromine, a gentle stimulant that increases circulation and can create feelings of warmth, clarity and openness. Our cacao will be prepared lovingly by Jess using plant-based milk.
A herbal tea alternative is available upon request - please let me know in advance, along with any dietary requirements.
Drinking cacao is not usually recommended if you are taking antidepressants (SSRIs/MAOIs), have heart conditions, high blood pressure, severe migraines, stimulant sensitivity or are pregnant/breastfeeding.
Come to open your heart.
Come to reconnect to yourself.
Come to feel grounded, experience something new and feel uplifted. ✨
