Ceremony with Cacao;
Valborgs aften
A spring celebration - and an invitation to pause within this transition.
To rest at the threshold.
To feel what has been shed —
and to sense what is blooming.
This ceremony offers a moment of rest — a small oasis of medicine — held in the soft embrace of the spirit of Cacao, singing, shamanic drumming, and a circle of like-minded souls.
A space where you are invited to be exactly as you are, and to meet whatever is present for you in this moment.
A farewell to winter & a fully jump into the spring
Together, we journey inward.
Guided by the steady beat of the drum, singing, silence, and the rhythms of nature, we explore the inner landscape that spring reveals - places of rest, grief, gratitude, longing, and quiet hope.
This is not about dramatic breakthroughs.
It is about orientation.
Listening inside and giving space for the blooming life-force energy to rise.
Listening, where the sense of direction emerges, where the remembering of what really matters appears.
The ceremony is guided by Stephan and Eva Maria, partners in life and love, and held within a circle of like-minded souls.
Ceremonial Cacao — Companion Through transitions
Ceremonial Cacao is quite different than the hot Cocoa you might remember from your childhood.
Our Ceremonial Cacao comes from non-hybridized, non-plantation under-story trees in the tropical rain forests of Guatemala. We buy directly from produces who pay fair wages and do not use chemicals in their production.
It is called Ceremonial Cacao as it undergoes only minimum processing - everything from harvesting, fermenting, sorting and packing is done by hand. Only the hardest job, the grinding is done by machine. Compared to industrially produced cocoa it still contains most of the active compounds and nutrients making it more like a plant medicine then food.
Cacao has been used as a sacred plant medicine in rituals, ceremonies and rites of passage for many thousands of years in south and central America.
It is an amazing and profoundly healing plant teacher - both gentle, powerful and enjoyable!
The energy of Cacao can feel like a mother - grounded, loving, deeply nourishing and connected to the earth. It is a wise, ancient and powerful plant medicine.
Cacao allows us to deepen into whatever practice or connection intentionally work with.
Some come to our ceremonies to reconnect to their hearts.
Others comes for a pause, a resting place between the sometimes stressed everyday life.
Others to connect deeper with the healing energy, wisdom and medicine of nature.
Whatever perspective you come from you are welcome.
“Thank you so much for a beautiful ceremony. It is always a very special experience to step into your loving home, energy, and ceremonial space. There is such peace, security, and depth that my soul loves to be in. Thank you so much for everything you do. ”

The abundant, playful spirit of Cacao
Did you know Ceremonial Cacao has more calcium than cows milk, 40 times more antioxidants than blueberries and is the number one source for magnesium and flavanols.
It is a natural aphrodisiac, elevates the mood & energy. It increases blood flow and stimulates the cardiovascular system (your heart and blood vessels, that supplies your organs with oxygen and nutrients). Basically, it is a magical bomb of nutrients and psychoactive compounds that is highly beneficial for the body as well as supporting us in being present, mindful & connected to ourselves and our hearts.
We work with 100% Pure, direct traded ‘Ceremonial Grade’ Cacao from Guatemala.
