Cacao Ceremony

  • Juniper 3 - 5 Clinton Avenue Ellenville, NY, 12428 United States (map)

Cacao has been used for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing for thousands of years by the ancient traditions of the world. It has been especially common in Mayan, Aztec and other South American traditions as a part of their ceremonies and prayers.

Together we will share this ancient spiritual food and connect to our hearts through song, dance, meditation and prayer.

What is Cacao?

Cacao, the main ingredient in chocolate, is a superfood that has nourished humanity for thousands of years. Originally revered throughout the Americas with roots in the Amazonian basin, Cacao has spread worldwide due to its powerful physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits.
