The best way to experience your Soul is in a cacao ceremony.
Introducing the...
Cacao Ceremony
Experience your
heart & Soul
A cacao ceremony is a sacred shamanic ritual that has been gifted to us by the Mayan and Aztec tradition. Cacao helps you to awaken spiritually. It quiets the mind, opens your heart and brings you in touch with your true self.
From this place of deep connection, you can tap into the wisdom of your Soul and receive the guidance and insights that you’re longing for.
In a cacao ceremony, you drink ceremonial cacao with a clear intention for guidance. After that, you journey into yourself with the help of a Soul Journey meditation, breath work, music and/or ecstatic dance.
The loving Spirit of Cacao will guide you to your true essence and give you everything you’re longing for and more!
What to expect
How a cacao ceremony is performed
During a cacao ceremony, you drink a ceremonial dose of cacao (35 grams), after you’ve set your intention for your ceremony and soul journey.
After drinking the cacao, you will be led into a transcendent Soul Journey meditation. During this guided meditation, you will go on an inner journey in which you will tap into the wisdom of your Soul with the help of mother cacao. From this place you can receive the answers and insights that you’re longing for.
In my ceremonies I also use music, singing and sound meditation. These vibrations will help to open you up. This will help you experience the magic of mother Cacao even more. There will also be sharing in the circle, and (journaling) exercises.
After the cacao ceremony, you will feel relaxed, energized, connected, happy, and maybe even a bit enlightened.
Please note: cacao is not a drug or psychedelic. Cacao is a safe plant and won’t make you high or hallucinate.

- Open your heart and connect to your Soul
- Quiet your mind and relax

A day to relax and discover your next steps
Fri Sept 12 – Sun Sept 14 | SHAMANIC SOUL ESSENCE RETREAT
Remember your path and purpose in life
December Ceremony Theme - Vision (BOARD) Making
As 2024 is coming to a close, it’s time to reflect on the year that has been and to set intentions for the new year. In shamanism, honoring endings and beginnings helps us release what no longer serves us and call in what we truly desire.
Together in this ceremony, we’ll do a Shamanic Journey to connect with a powerful vision for the year ahead. Guided by spirit and intuition, you’ll gain clarity on your path and create a Vision Board that reflects your intentions. We’ll also seal this vision with a sacred ritual at the altar, affirming your commitment to the new year ahead.
January Ceremony Theme - Cacao & Microdose Ceremony
This January, you’re going to deepen your spiritual practice by adding a microdose of truffle to the ceremony.
Adding a microdose of truffles to a cacao ceremony gives you the opportunity to have an even deeper spiritual experience with your heart and Soul. Cacao already works beautifully to open the heart, grounding you in love and connection, while creating a safe space to explore your inner world. When you pair it with a microdose of truffles, it’s like unlocking an even deeper layer of insight and awareness.
The cacao helps you feel open and grounded, while the microdose gently expands your mind, making it easier to access the wisdom within you. Together, they create a powerful synergy—cacao holds you in a warm, loving space, and the truffles guide you to places in your heart and soul that you may not have reached otherwise.
This combination deepens your practice by quieting the mental chatter and opening pathways to clarity, healing, and transformation. It’s perfect for anyone looking to go deeper, gain profound insights, or connect with their true self on a whole new level.

Because this makes the drink really bitter, I will add a couple of ingredients to make the cacao sweeter, so it is more pleasant to drink it.
These are the ingredients that I use at the moment:
- Cardamon
- Cinnamon
- Agave
- Apricot paste
- Cayenne
This blend is 100% vegan.
If you’re coming to my ceremony, and you are allergic to any of these ingredients, please let me know at least 2 days in advance, so I can adjust the blend for you.
