Cacao Ceremonies

Cacao (raw chocolate) is a powerful plant medicine that is specially prepared for ceremonial use to help us reconnect with our inner wisdom, get clarity, find peace, and release any energy blockages.

An indigenous myth (as discovered by Keith the Chocolate Shaman) tells that when the balance between humans and nature becomes threatened, Cacao comes from the rainforest to open people’s hearts and return the planet to harmony – and boy do we need it NOW!!

It can help –

Clear emotional blocks and release stress
Let go of past relationships
Understand yourself better and receive guidance on where to go/what to do next
Connect with your creativity

Cautions: Our Cacao is prepared especially for ceremony and comes from Guatemala, overseen by Keith the Chocolate Shaman (who has been key in bringing this medicine back to Western consciousness).

It is safe to drink however Cacao is not suitable for anyone with chocolate or nut allergies, heart conditions or anyone taking SSRI anti-depressant medication.

Smaller doses are recommended if you are pregnant or if you are fasting or sensitive to plant medicines

Private or 1:1 Cacao Ceremonies

If you are having a special occasion or going through a personal transition, a private group or 1:1 ceremony can be arranged. Please contact me if you would like to discuss further details.

Public Cacao Ceremonies

These are held semi-regularly in Forest Hill. Please join the mailing list or the meetup group to hear about any upcoming ceremonies. These small group sessions are around 3 hours.

It usually involves a heart-opening sharing circle, some light physical movement/stretches, breathing, intention setting, guided journey with Sound Medicine (Gong/Sound Bath & Shamanic Drumming, singing and more) an integral part of it that adds power and energetic clearing to the experience…

Depending on the theme, it is an opportunity to connect with ancestral wisdom, spirit animals/guides, your inner healer, your wild & wise woman/man and brings insight that is beyond your endlessly thinking mind.

To bring love to all parts of yourself through the loving energy of the Cacao plant medicine and all those Beings joining you in Ceremony.

I experienced Cacao Plant Medicine in Ceremony in 2013 and it had a big impact on me. It continued me (along with my Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training already completed and love of Shamanic drum, Gong etc) on a path of including more Ceremony and Ritual into my life and into my workshops and especially retreats.

All my retreats since then have included a leisurely afternoon of Cacao & Sound Ceremony and it is alway a beautiful and heart-opening experience. What I love most about all of this and the other offerings is that it all takes you back to your self – to your wisdom, your guidance. The Cacao and the Sound Journey give a helping hand that is gentle and loving…if you are ready, come along and experience it for yourself.

Thank you for such a wonderful cacao ceremony (women’s circle, cacao ceremony, sound healing). I felt so energised for days afterwards and I still feel different. It’s like a switch has flipped. The image of my wild goddess dancing from your guided meditation is still so strong in my head. I’m going to hold on to her…I was definitely in need of the nurturing and release and I just loved your energy and how accessible you made it all. I will most definitely be back (I wish I could come on your retreat but I’m not ready to leave my little one yet). Thank you again for such a powerful and nourishing ceremony. I can’t wait for the next one.

Being involved in Natalie’s cacao ceremonies have been some of the most enjoyable moments in my self discovery journey. The warm and welcoming environment that Natalie provides is such a safe place for me to “be”. And it’s always the right place at the right time. The learnings I take away are always relevant and support my inner growth so profoundly. As a regular attendee I think there is also an accumulative effect, I get more and more out of these ceremonies every time.

Cacao is such a loving nurturing experience for me and it truly does open my heart, which makes Natalie’s ability to hold a safe space even more important – it’s a real gift. It’s a huge part of my self care programme and I go whenever I can.
