What Is a Cacao Ceremony?

Cacao ceremonies have been reintroduced in our modern society as a way to connect deeper with ourselves and our environment. It is an opportunity to take a moment to pause, reflect, celebrate, contemplate, and bring light to the moments we often take for granted. Before chocolate was brought to Europe and the rest of the world, many ancient traditions, especially in Central America, would use the pure form of chocolate (cacao) in rituals and ceremonies. Today, we see this practice coming back to our society. Just as music reflects the changing sensibilities of different time periods and cultures, we see cacao ceremonies today reflecting our need to invite in more connection, purpose, celebration, and gratitude into our modern lives.

These modern cacao ceremonies are not religious but have a deep connection to spirituality, although one does not need to label themselves as spiritual in order to partake in the experience. It is at its essence a way to return to the simplicity of life, honoring what’s important to the individual and the collective. And while the form and function of modern cacao ceremonies are very different from the traditional rites of Indigenous traditions, the core tenets remain: gratitude, intention, and reciprocity.
