Kula's approach to Cacao Ceremony:

Cacao has been a revered plant in Mesoamerican cultures for centuries.

It is important to educate oneself about the history and cultural significance of cacao in indigenous cultures, and to work with indigenous communities to honor and preserve their traditions. This can include seeking permission and guidance from indigenous leaders or communities, supporting indigenous-led cacao ceremonies, and acknowledging the cultural origins of the practice. Additionally, it is important to be mindful of the language and marketing used around cacao ceremonies, and to avoid commodifying or commercializing the practice for personal gain. Instead, approach the practice with respect, reverence, and a willingness to learn and honor the indigenous cultures from which it originated. As a Kula, we are grateful for our teachers and their blessings to share this medicine.

During a cacao ceremony, participants may drink a specially prepared cacao elixir, which is often combined with other natural ingredients such as spices and sweeteners.

A cacao ceremony may include elements such as chanting, drumming, sound healing, conscious art making, dancing, yoga and meditation, and is intended to facilitate a deep connection with oneself, others, and the natural world. The cacao is believed to have heart-opening and grounding properties, which can help participants connect with their emotions, release negative energy, and experience a sense of unity and interconnectedness.

What is a cacao ceremony?

A ceremonial dose of 100% pure ceremonial grade cacao (1.5 oz) is served in the form of a warm drink. This heart opening elixir can facilitate a pleasant, perhaps blissful state where participants can journey deeper into personal and collective healing. Ceremonies may include sound healing, meditation, drumming, song, conscious art making, connection, sharing, dance, journeying and asana. This ancient medicine helps connect participants with their inner guide while it may increase clarity, focus, creativity and an overall sense of wellbeing.
