Sacred Sip: Mama & Baby Cacao

Facilitated by Stacey Barclay

Motherhood is a profound transition

Along with the joy and love, many women quietly experience a shift in identity, wondering where pieces of themselves went within the constant rhythm of caring for a baby.

Sacred Sip is a gentle space created to honour both the mother and the woman she still is.

In this baby-friendly gathering, mothers are invited to slow down, enjoy a cup of ceremonial cacao, and reconnect with themselves in a supportive community of other moms. Through guided reflection and relaxed sharing, the circle becomes a small pocket of time where you can breathe, tune inward, and remember the parts of yourself that exist beneath the surface of motherhood.

​

Babies are welcome exactly as they are sleeping, feeding, or exploring beside you.

Many women who attend these circles stay connected long after, often forming friendships that continue through the early years of motherhood.

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.
