Ceremonial cacao has been used for generations in ritual and communal practice as a way of gathering, slowing down, and turning inward. Gentle and grounding, cacao can support a sense of openness, presence, and connection while creating space to listen more closely to what is arising within.

Held near the new moon, this 2-hour gathering offers a natural moment to slow down, listen inward, and consider what you want to nurture in the cycle ahead. Candace Dalmagne-Rouge will guide participants through an intentional, heart-centered experience weaving traditionally prepared cacao, grounding practices, reflection, and ritual.

Together, we’ll step out of the pace of everyday life and create space to reconnect with yourself, explore what feels present or ready for attention, and listen more deeply to what matters most.

You don’t need to arrive with a particular intention or anything to “work on.” Whether you’re moving through a season of change, seeking clarity, or simply wanting time to slow down and reconnect, you are welcome to come as you are.

No prior experience with cacao or ceremony is needed.
