Monthly Cacao Circle

Gathering together for this circle invites the spirit of cacao to guide us inwards. From this sacred space, we sip cacao, share wisdom, explore sound healing + meditation, connect to our creativity & receive clarity + healing. These circles are held once a month as an opportunity to gather in community.

What Is Cacao?

Cacao is a minimally processed form of chocolate

It is made from whole cacao beans and often prepared as a warm drink.

Cacao naturally contains compounds that may gently support:

• mood
• focus
• circulation
• a sense of wellbeing

Honouring cacao means respecting the land, cultures, traditions and people connected to this plant.

Over the past several years I’ve travelled to cacao-growing regions including: Peru, Costa Rica, Guatemala & Mexico

Building relationships with farmers and learning about the growing and harvesting process.

Supporting small producers and honouring the cultures connected to cacao are essential values in the way I share this plant in circle.

At its heart, cacao is simply a warm cup shared in intentional space an invitation to slow down, reflect, and connect.
