Cacao Ceremony with Marie

A sacred space to soften, connect, and awaken the wisdom of the heart.

A Cacao Ceremony is an ancient heart-opening ritual rooted in Indigenous Mesoamerican traditions. Ceremonial cacao is a sacred plant medicine — a gentle, loving ally that guides us into deeper connection with ourselves, each other, and Spirit.

This isn’t just hot chocolate or a sweet indulgence — this is a sacred plant in her fullest potency, prepared with reverence and shared with intention.
Cacao works on the energetic and emotional level, helping us access truth, softness, creativity and heart clarity.

Cacao invites us to slow down and listen.
To feel.
To open.
To remember.

CACAO WITH MARIE

My journey with ceremonial cacao began in 2017 as I traveled through Guatemala, where I was first introduced to the sacred Mayan tradition of sitting with this heart-opening plant in ceremony. From that moment, cacao became a trusted ally in my personal healing — helping me move through trauma, soften emotional walls, and reconnect with the wisdom of my heart.

Since then, cacao has become an integral part of my daily rituals and spiritual practice. I went on to become a certified Cacao Ceremony Facilitator and now lovingly share this medicine with others — both in intimate ceremonies and woven into my healing sessions. For me, cacao is heart medicine. When united with Reiki and intuitive insight, it becomes a beautiful, grounding tool for emotional release, clarity, and remembrance.

Cacao is a heart medicine.
  • Each ceremony is a lovingly held container — woven together with Reiki, intention, and intuitive guidance. No two ceremonies are exactly the same. They shift with the energy of the group or individual, the lunar cycle, the season, and the emotional landscape of the moment.

    A session may include:

    • A gentle opening ritual to ground into the space

    • Drinking ceremonial cacao together in silence or guided reflection

    • Energy clearing + Reiki to support the nervous system

    • Guided meditation or journeying to connect with your heart or inner wisdom

    • Tarot or Oracle cards for reflection

    • Journaling prompts, sound, or breathwork as intuitively guided

    • Integration sharing or intention setting to close

    Whether you come with something to release, a decision to clarify, or simply the desire to connect more deeply with yourself, Cacao holds space for it all — gently and with grace.

    One of my most cherished ceremonial cacaos is Lava Love Cacao, lovingly grown and prepared by Izaias Sajvin Mendoza and his family in San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala. Their cacao has not only supported my personal journey but has become a key part of the ceremonies I now hold. Over the years, the Sajvin Mendoza family has become beloved teachers, generously sharing their ancestral wisdom and heart-led practices. It’s a deep honor to work with their cacao, to support their Indigenous family business and to help carry their sacred traditions forward with integrity, reverence, and love.

  • Cacao Ceremony is perfect for you if you’re…

    • Seeking to reconnect with your heart and intuition

    • In a time of transition, uncertainty, or emotional release

    • Feeling creatively blocked or energetically stagnant

    • Longing for a ritual to ground, soften, and return to yourself

    • Curious about plant medicine in a gentle, supportive form

Cacao doesn’t tell you what to do. It reminds you who you are.

Come sit with her — and with yourself — in love, presence, and quiet power.
