Welcome to Coração de Cacau
We are a beautiful ever-growing Tribe of humans that get together with the purpose of retrieving the connection to the heart. We aim to anchor more and more Light on this planet by activating the Light within each individual.
These gatherings are a portal of remembrance to the potential of our existence, a reminder that aligning with your life's purpose is achievable right now. We create a safe container where everyone is welcomed exactly as they are. There is space for laughter, sadness, anger, ecstasy, there is freedom to express your sensuality, your sexuality, your childlike innocence, and to choose in every moment how you want to give yourself.
What does a CDC gathering look like?
In CDC gatherings we work with the Sacred Medicine of Cacao to open the hearts to the fullest experience available to each. We are deeply connected with this medicine and we honour it with our service, maintaining always the essence of our deepest truth in this service. We believe deepy in the powerful alchemy that happens when you join ancient tradition with the New Earth truth that resides in each one.
Our gatherings are usually comprised of a Sacred Cacao Ceremony, Guided Meditation, Human Connection Exercises, Live Medicine Music, Ecstatic Dance Set and Grounding with Sound Healing/ Gong Bath. For each gathering we invite amazing local and international musicians to bless us with their sound.
In our retreats we also include practices such as Kundalini Yoga, Breathwork & Ice Bath, Emotional Release Practice, Singing Circles, and more. For each retreat we invite powerful heart-connected facilitators to co-create with us, creating an incredibly rich experience.

About Ceremonial Cacau

Sacred Cacau Ceremonies by Coração de Cacao
We believe the world is a better place when we act from love and live in deep heart-connection. To do so, we must open our hearts to feel all that is alive within us - honouring the shadows & pain as well as the light & joy.
In our Sacred Cacau Ceremonies, we create a safe space of presence to feel the power of the cacao medicine.
Momo guides each ceremony with channeled prayers, honoring the plant and supporting collective healing and our personal journey.
Following each prayer, we drink the cacao together and sing, using our voices to extend the prayers.
In this unity, we create a field of love that feels like rising together.
You can visualize a collective spaceship rising in Love, that's how it feels like to be part of our ceremonies.
We were once told that the bitterness of the cacao medicine brings the sweetness to the heart.

What does Ceremonial Cacao mean?
We are asked this question again & again.
Unlike chocolate, which is made from roasted cocoa beans, raw cacao is full of beneficial and energizing ingredients thanks to minimal processing and the omission of the bean roasting.
For this reason, our raw cacao is particularly suitable for preparing “ritual cacao" for cacao ceremonies.
As early as the Mayan and Aztec times, the cocoa plant was revered thanks to its vitalising effect and it was worshiped in drinking rituals. It has been offered to the gods.
The idea is that in groups, often in combination with other activities such as meditation, dance and singing, you consume a drink made from raw cocoa in a gentle and attentive way and let the effects of the cocoa work on you in a stimulating and conscious environment . The recipes can vary a lot, but we always recommend preparation with water, a little coconut blossom sugar and a few spices so as not to spoil the taste of the cocoa too much.
