Heart of Gratitude: A Thanksgiving Cacao Circle

Welcome to our first Heart of Cacao gathering - an intimate ceremony where we'll come together in the spirit of gratitude with ceremonial cacao. This gathering marks the beginning of our community's journey with this heart-opening medicine.

New to Cacao?
Ceremonial cacao is pure, minimally processed chocolate in its most potent form. Unlike regular hot chocolate, this sacred drink is prepared with intention and prayer. The experience is gentle yet profound, often bringing feelings of openness, connection, and presence. No experience needed - come as you are.

How We Will Spend Our Time
The first 15 minutes is reserved for socializing and settling in. We will then flow into a guided ceremony with multiple servings of pure, wild-harvested Peruvian cacao (90 minutes), and close with gentle integration time and more opportunity to connect and socialize.

Note on Cost
The ceremony contribution is $20. If for any reason this presents financial challenge, please reach out to me here and I will make sure you can participate - I believe this medicine should be accessible to everyone who feels called to it.

Your contribution supports the sustainability of our group, helping cover the costs of our wild-harvested Peruvian cacao, sacred gathering space, and ceremony preparation. Thank you for helping make these gatherings possible.

What to Bring
- Water bottle
- Journal (optional)

- Your authentic self

Health Advisory
Cacao contains natural caffeine and theobromine. Please check with your healthcare provider before participating if you:

I look forward to gathering with this community. Please invite anyone you believe would benefit from this heart-opening medicine - we are here to support your growth and healing. If you cannot make it to this one, there will be more to come.
