🌺✨ Day of the Dead Ceremony with Cacao & Tobacco ✨🌺
Monique, Amy, and Meghan have created a unique experience through the plant magic of cacao and tobacco—held on the sacred Day of the Dead. On this day, when the veil between worlds is said to be thinnest, we gather to honor our ancestors, celebrate life, and connect with Spirit through ritual.
🌿 The Medicine of Cacao & Tobacco
Ceremonial-grade cacao is revered for its sacred significance, chosen for its purity and unadulterated essence. In ceremony, it opens the heart, deepens connection with the divine, and elevates the spiritual experience. On this night, cacao also becomes a bridge to the ancestors, allowing us to commune with their wisdom and love.
Accompanying this is the sacred presence of tobacco plant medicine, employed to amplify the journey. In this context, tobacco is not merely a substance, but a conduit of protection, grounding, and prayer—guiding us as we walk with intention between worlds.
🌬️ The Journey
Ceremonial cacao, the “Food of the Gods,” opens the heart like a gentle flame—guiding us inward to the whispers of the soul and outward to the embrace of our ancestors.
Sacred tobacco (including hapé, a traditional tobacco powder) clears energy blockages, grounds the body, and carries our prayers to the unseen realms.
Carried by sound vibrations—crystal bowls, gongs, and chimes—we’ll be held in an otherworldly current where healing flows, the heart blooms open, and ancestral wisdom surrounds us.
The synergy between cacao and tobacco has long been honored in spiritual traditions as a transformative passage toward self-discovery, healing, and growth. On the Day of the Dead, this combination becomes even more potent—honoring those who came before us while awakening our own inner magic.
🌸✨ Join us on this sacred day to honor your ancestors, awaken your inner light, and celebrate the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
🌟 Preparation & What to Bring
Eat “clean” throughout the day; refrain from eating 2–3 hours before ceremony (this helps cacao integrate more quickly and prevents nausea from the tobacco).
Bring a bottle of water (additional water will be available).
Wear comfortable clothing; this is a 3+ hour experience.
Bring a journal if you feel called to write.
Optional: extra items for comfort while lying down (we provide thick mats, blankets, and pillows at the Center).

Address: 509 W Fayette Street, Suite #246
