*** Open to ALL - Beginners welcome! ***
Joining other like-minded people and coming together for a couple of hours in a circle in a sacred space to connect can be a magical experience on its own. This time, you're invited to join a unique Cacao Ceremony Retreat experience, give your Self a much-needed time out and connect through the help of lovingly & specially prepared Ceremonial Cacao, light breathwork and beautiful meditations to help you open your heart, let go and release as well as to get clearer on what might be stopping you evolve and on your intentions of how to move forward in your life.
(Not sure this is for you? Let the Feedback & Client Testimonials speak to you. More are posted further down.)
Being guided in a safe space & through connection with other likeminded souls many find it is so much easier to open up and share what's happening in our individual worlds whilst we recognise our individual challenges. During the retreat session you will be given the opportunity to allow yourselves to move forward by being guided to connect to your inner world, deeper longings, your dreams, wishes & heart's desires and your passions, as well as confidence, self-healing abilities and self-love within a safe setting and also in a beautiful room/venue whilst receiving the heart-opening benefits of the beautifully subtle yet powerful plant medicine CACAO.
Cacao is considered a powerful heart-opener that can help us raise our frequencies, awareness & consciousness and therefore vibrate from the frequency of love. Indigenous people recognise the Spirit the Cacao plant holds and therefore have been honouring it with respect, appreciation and gratitude for centuries. Ceremonial Cacao has been used as a plant medicine for thousands of years.
This ceremony is a beautiful opportunity to connect with our TRUE SELVES and deeper desires that we often hide under layers of what can be called 'social conditioning' and often also out of fear of rejection or fear of failure. Cacao helps us to open up and see these hurdles or barriers, to see past them and to move towards manifesting our deeper heart's longings more from a place of ease and grace.
Anyone is welcome to join this experience* (*please see “Cautions & Things to note” below!), especially if you're new to this but also if you have been to Cacao Ceremonies before – each ceremony is different depending on various factors and people seem to experience new insights or revelations each time.
Cacao (meaning raw and unprocessed) is also considered a superfood and is high in antioxidants & minerals (e.g. magnesium, iron, chromium and others) and helps the body produce higher levels of so-called 'bliss chemicals' (e.g. Serotonin and Anandamide). It is a non-psychoactive plant that can be consumed by almost everyone* (*please see “Cautions & Things to note” below!).
There will be other elements to help you connect such as soothing music and beautiful sounds (e.g. Tibetan singing bowls), light breathwork and the sharing/hearing of others' experience, which itself can be very powerful in having breakthroughs and realisations.
This event is for you if you are:
- keen to take some time out for yourself, retreat & connect with your inner world, release and raise your vibrations
- new to meditation, breathwork and using plant medicines such as raw cacao to explore consciousness more
- wanting to move forward in life by exploring aspects of yourself (e.g. your dreams and desires, what's holding you back, your inner child, etc) that may help you forward on your path of healing and processing trauma

“Thank you so much Kriss for the amazing Cacao Ceremony last night. I felt called to join your ceremony and felt like I needed to release stored up emotions in order to open my heart again and I obviously did...” -– Alex, London
“Hi Kriss. I loved the ceremony and you held the space beautifully with your loving energy. I really enjoyed the breathwork - thank you. I've never done that before and can take those techniques away with me **” -– Clair, South London
“Coming together in a circle sitting on a floor, it was not what I expected but I got more than I bargained for, To go back and visit other shamanic practices I am now keen to explore, just rolling with life’s surprises who knows what is in store? First experience of a Cacao Ceremony, conversation in between even discussing our bodies autonomy[...] How can we perceive or judge each other with into their life’s only a small glance? I guess in this untrusting world we need to give each other a chance. In life you never know sometimes what deck you will get from the dealer, unexpected but a pleasant experience gained from a Shamanic healer. Learning we all sometimes need a readjustment within our attitude, recenter refocus correcting our place in this world with some spiritual longitude and latitude, Just like you showed to the Cacao plant last night I wrote this just to show you my gratitude. Thank you very much Kriss I had a great time last night inner eye opening stuff, look forward to attending a drum meditation soon. Have a blessed day Kriss keep lighten up the path so that people can see a better way to follow sending love and positivity back to you ☀️” -– Adam, London
“Hi Kriss, thank you so much for the beautiful Cacao Ceremony & holding space the other night. I did not know what to expect as I haven’t attended something like this before. It is the first time I have drank real Cacao in that way & it was a fantastic experience on another level. The meditation helped me open my heart, it was truly magical. There was so much knowledge & detail shared from you, I did not just relax a lot, I also took away a lot in terms of information. I feel this was money well spent on this experience. Thank you so much & I am looking forward to your next Ceremony soon.” –- Maurice, Croydon
“Thank you beautiful soul for holding the space , guiding us through some complex issues & shining the love & light.” –- Naomi, East Dulwich/London
“Hello Kriss, thank you for the lovely evening on Wednesday. I loved your calm and welcoming energy. You were empathic and compassionate in your delivery of the session and created a cosy, safe and restful environment. You were well prepared, professional and focused throughout. I think for me the visualisation of my inner child was very powerful. I was left feeling quite emotional and almost tearful after my inner child told me to "let others love me". It was a very powerful and humbling experience which I am grateful for ❤️Keep doing what you are doing, Kriss. I am grateful for a lovely session and really appreciate you sharing your wonderful skills x” –- David, London
About the Organizer of Sacred Cacao Ceremony Circle
Kriss Höss is passionate about all things related to health, wellbeing, self-growth, shamanic & sound healing practices, quantum & energy healing and life itself. She is an experienced health & wellbeing coach and also a certified Nutritional Therapist and has been in the health and wellbeing space for almost 10 years. A major turning point in her own journey of life was when Kriss experienced severe health issues (chronic IBS, bad eating habits bordering on diabetes (type2) and long-term depression leading to not just one but two burnouts and ultimately major breakdowns). She managed to recover from those and healed using a natural approach and through her own learnings can now attribute these back to what was then still unresolved deep childhood trauma and much more.
Having a calm, clear, comforting and warm approach, Kriss enjoys inspiring people and supporting them transforming their lives and on their journey of (inner) healing, growth and self development by facilitating different workshop experiences and working with clients on a 1-to-1 basis as well as running small group coaching programmes on various topics related to health & wellbeing, healing, the mind, body and spirit.
She has learned and continues to draw her knowledge from various teachings and teachers such as Dr. Joe Dispenza, Louise Hay, Gregg Bradon, Bruce Lipton, Caroline Myss, John Assaraf, Wim Hoff, Ryan Pinnick, Aloka Levitin, Dieter Lange, Sandra Ingerman, Alberto Villoldo, Lazo Freeman and other teachers of Shamanic practices.
Kriss has a keen interest in and is deeply fascinated by various modalities such as different breathwork & yoga practices, consciousness, energy & sound healing, meditation, healthy plant-based nutrition, self-reflection, mind-shifts & inner-child & trauma healing which she has all actively been practising herself for many years and keeps continuing to learn more about. This also includes the mind-body interconnection and comprehending the importance as well as the power of the natural laws that govern life: “You will never have this day again so make it count.”
“Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.” Buddha
“What you think you become, what you feel you attract. What you imagine, you create.” Buddha

Further Feedback & Client Testimonials:
"Thanks Kriss for a great healing session. It was so good to do the inner child work that even although it was uncomfortable at times it really gave me a sense of relief afterwards. I was very happy, relaxed and had a feeling of release! You are so easy, calming and reassuring to talk to. Thanks again **" - Claire (mid 30s), East London, UK - Holistic Healing with focus on Energy & Trauma Release.

"Working with you Kriss has been incredible! It was in late Summer 2020 when I reached out to you as I was in terrible pain due to the continuous swelling and gout in my foot. Even though I was hardly having dairy at this time, the pain and inflammation still kept happening. I was in agony and most days unable to walk far. I learned so much from the sessions with you Kriss and it not just changed my health but actually my LIFE! I never thought I would feel so much better and most of all I never thought I could GIVE UP SUGAR but you made it easy for me!
--- Update April 2022: happy to let you know that I'm still not using sugar but still benefiting from what I learned through you! Thanks again Kriss for helping me do that & make that change!" - Vernon (70), Essex, UK - Holistic Healing / Body Reset with focus on Nutrition & Wellbeing.

"I met Kriss at a morning connection group and shared with her my issue with swollen ankles and my concerns around my health and wellbeing in general. Kriss kindly gave me some nutritional advice, which then led to me booking 3 sessions via zoom with her, to talk about my health and well-being. Kriss was very kind and generous with her knowledge, advice, and her time. She spoke in a language that I could easily understand and made me feel so relaxed and inspired to start consciously looking at my diet and the foods I eat. During my second session with Kriss, I recall expressing my excitement, I said, "Oh my gosh Kriss! it's brilliant how you are explaining to me how my body works. I wish I would have learned that back in school. I could have lived my life differently, when it comes to a healthy lifestyle. I am so grateful I'm learning it from you now so I can put things in action going forward. This knowledge is invaluable! My body feels healthier and I love it more. Thank you Kriss." - Carol (mid 50), North London - Holistic Healing / Body Reset with focus on Nutrition & Wellbeing
