Cacao Ceremonies

A Cacao Ceremony is a ritual that honours the sacred plant medicine cacao, the elements, and the spirits of nature.

The Cacao Ceremony

Cacao ceremonies offer a peaceful connection with all living beings, creating a beautiful space to express gratitude for life itself. A ceremony is a way to deeply connect with the energy of the heart and with oneself.

These ceremonies are practised for both spiritual and healing purposes, with pure cacao typically consumed in a nourishing, ceremonial drink.

During these sacred gatherings, participants set intentions, surrender to the present moment, and open themselves to releasing energies that no longer serve them. The consumption of ceremonial cacao helps to awaken the spirit, enhance creativity, uplift mood, open the heart, release emotions, and support manifestation.

What happens?

During ceremonies, you will often tap into your intuitive centre and higher self, receiving guidance, insights, and energetic shifts that support healing, release blockages, and invite the flow of abundance into your life.

These ceremonies create a powerful space for feelings of wholeness, warmth, and love. They can be deeply therapeutic, helping to raise your vibrational energy, while enhancing self-love, self-belief, and spiritual connection. Beyond these benefits, this spiritual journey allows you to connect with your highest self and uncover your hidden truths.

Making Shifts...

If you’re seeking to release old habits and emotional blockages, connect more deeply with yourself, heal from past experiences and traumas, or simply wish to experience love, bliss, and euphoria, then cacao is calling to you. These ceremonies provide a nurturing space to realign with your true self and move toward the life you desire.

Coming together to drink the sacred cacao is a truly magical experience, allowing us to connect profoundly with our spirit, support healing, and inspire all those present.

“It is a mysterious product, rendered sacred, but for reasons never clearly stated… Linked to the earth and the cyclical nature of human life, it both mediates and transcends relationships between humans and the forces that animate the earth.”
– Prufer and Hurst, 2007

What to expect at Shanes ceremonies

As you arrive, you are warmly welcomed into the space and invited to find a comfortable spot where you can fully relax. The room, along with each participant, will be smudged in a ritual of cleansing and purification, creating a sacred atmosphere for connection.

In this sacred space, you’ll have the opportunity to connect deeply with yourself, the spirit of cacao, and others in the circle. The experience is unlike any yoga or meditation class, offering a profound and intimate setting where you can truly open up. Here, you are held in a safe, nurturing environment, free to express whatever arises—whether physical, spiritual, or emotional. This is a space for deep transformation and authentic connection, where you are supported in your journey of healing and self-discovery.

Giving Thanks

Together, we will learn about the cacao we’re drinking, discovering its rich history and the sacred preparation process. Then, we’ll be guided through a cacao blessing, honouring and embracing the transformative power of this plant medicine.

Shane and his co-facilitators will lead you through a series of powerful exercises and experiences, tailored to the intentions of the ceremony. Expect to journey through meditations, breathwork, sound baths, and ecstatic dance, each practice designed to deepen your connection and elevate your spirit.

To close the ceremony, we’ll come together to reflect on our insights, share our experiences, and express gratitude, honouring the indigenous people, our ancestors, the spirits, and each other. This is more than just a ceremony; it’s a sacred experience that will leave you feeling deeply transformed and connected.
