Cacao Retreats
Looking to find a connection to your highest self, your own power and truth? If so, the shamanic journey of a Cacao retreat might just be what you need to silence you mind and connect to the wisdom inside you.
Dating back thousands of years, Cacao ceremonies are thought to be traditions of the Aztecs and Mayan that inhabited Central/South America, used for spiritual, medicinal and ceremonial purposes for inner awakening and creative guidance.
At a Cacao retreat, participants use cacao in conjunction with shamanic ceremonies to improve physical, emotional and mental wellbeing, allowing you to rebalance yourself and release negativity.
Cacao and Chocolate Are The Same Thing, Right?
In a word…No.
If you expect the cacao used in a cacao ceremony to taste like regular chocolate you will be sadly mistaken. While Cacao is a natural plant medicine and cacao beans are what you find in your favorite Hershey’s bar, ritual cacao is bitter tasting liquid, naturally high in magnesium/iron/B-complex vitamins, typically made from:
- Ground cacao beans.
- Water.
- Cacao butter.
What Is Involved In A Cacao Ceremony?
It goes without saying that what happens at a Cacao ceremonies depends on the shaman facilitating the ceremony. While participants typically sit in a circle and share as a group together, as a general guide, expect to see the following:
- A feeling of oneness, love and ecstasy
- The releasing of emotional blockages
- The recognition of maladaptive thought and behavior patterns
- Enhanced creativity
It should be seen as an uplifting experience conducted in a safe space that opens you to connections, allowing for self examination without side effects associated with traditional psychedelic substances.
