Cacao Journeying

Sit in sacred circle with Mama Cacao

Mama Cacao is potent plant medicine for the heart. Following the tradition of my training, the cacao circles I facilitate are deeply inward soul journeys.

An important note before we move forward

Cultural Appropriation & Cacao

More than 20 years ago, I was initiated into sacred ceremony by Indigenous elders who shared their powerful (non-cacao) medicines and ceremonial tools with me. However, I’ve stopped sharing them in my offerings, and I invite you to read this post written by Indigenous medicine woman Asha Frost that was influential in guiding my decision. 

I share this because the appropriation of Indigenous cultures runs rampant in many cacao “ceremonies” (and moon circles!) via regalia, face paint, language (including “A’ho!”), and smudging with white sage. Many non-Indigenous practitioners – especially spiritual white women – take from Indigenous cultures without both giving back financially and sincerely acknowledging the colonization, genocide, and other atrocities that Indigenous peoples have endured and continue to endure to this day.

Note that my offerings are not replicas of Azetc or Mayan traditions. Rather, they are powerfully curated soul experiences and deeply inward meditative, trauma-informed journeys with conscious use of invitational, non-appropriated language. They do not involve ecstatic dance, and they give back to the Indigenous communities that have shared their medicine with us. That is all.

Private Journeys

Are you looking for an alternative way to honor a milestone event or rite of passage? One that invokes sacred plant medicine instead of alcohol? One that offers you an incredible opportunity to connect with your soul and sisters in sacred circle with Mama Cacao as your guide? One that allows you to deeply and safely explore yourself?

Public Journeys

Are you looking to join an existing journey with Mama Cacao? Public sacred journeys are every bit as powerful as their private counterparts, the only differences being that (1) you’ll sit in circle with new faces, and (2) you won’t be hosting the event.

Public cacao circles are offered in-person (Chicago) and virtually. Click the link below to learn more and register for an event. 

If you’re a yoga studio owner and would like me to offer a cacao journey in your space, please contact me here.

At the beginning of a Wayfinding Session

Wayfinding with Cacao

Sharing sacred Mama Cacao at the beginning of a Wayfinding session is freaking powerful. Honestly, I don’t know what else to say about this profound offering. You. Me. Mama Cacao. An experience with the Divine.

I’ll tell you how to prepare your cacao and where to source it. When we meet, I’ll guide us through the beginning of our sacred cacao journey. But instead of moving into deeper into the journeying experience, we’ll transition into Wayfinding (or maybe we’ll just continue to journey…). Click below to apply for Wayfinding and mention your interest in cacao.

A Cacao Journey With Me Involves:

Sacred Invocation, Meditation, & Ritual

Each cacao journey is themed. Music is subtle yet powerful & carefully curated. Ritualistic elements are heart-sourced.

The Most Ethically Sourced Cacao Available

I share where our cacao is sourced, the traditional way it’s processed, & how it far exceeds “Fair Trade” standards.

Trauma-informed & not Culturally Appropriative

We don’t smudge or wear face paint or regalia. I give back 10% of profits. And, I create trauma-informed safe spaces.
