About this Event


Cacao is a sacred food and plant medicine.


Gentle yet powerful, it has been used ceremonially for centuries to cultivate presence, deepen connection, and open the heart.


Though cacao is the raw form of chocolate, drinking it in ceremony is worlds away from eating a chocolate bar.


When met with gratitude, intention, and reciprocity, cacao invites you to reconnect with your heart, nurture your relationships, and live guided by deeper purpose.


As human beings, gathering in ceremony is our birthright.

It is who we are. It is how we evolved.


For thousands of years, our ancestors used sound, rhythm, and music to heal, communicate with nature, and open to spiritual dimensions.


Matthew Kocel’s music emerges from these ancient roots, guiding you into deeper awareness of your own interconnectedness with life.


Imagine floating in an ocean of sacred sound…

Vibration so profound it seems to bend the fabric of time and space.


His surreal voice resonates to the core of your being. It’s difficult to believe these tones come from a single human voice.


Many describe the experience as dreamlike, expansive, or reminiscent of altered states of consciousness.


Visions, waking dreams, extraordinary sensations, emotional release, profound shifts, and unexpected insights are commonly reported by attendees.


“Words seem so deficient for explaining the depth of experience… I was being moved by sound. My whole body was light and vibrating.” - Vancouver Yoga Review


For over 30 years, Matthew Kocel’s life work has centered around creating sacred space through voice, music, and transformational teachings.


A respected pioneer in the global sound healing movement, he has released three albums and shared his work internationally.


A few years ago, Dr. Joe Dispenza experienced Matthew’s music firsthand and began using it in guided meditations and retreats around the world.


“Matthew Kocel’s music is so primal, so rich and brilliantly soulful… It touches us on a profoundly deep level and opens our hearts.” - Dr. Joe Dispenza


This is an invitation to slow down.


To gather in community.


To experience cacao, sacred sound, and communion with kindred souls in a private luxury mountain sanctuary - 25 minutes from downtown Boulder.


You’ll be supported by this loving plant medicine, immersive music, and a carefully held ceremonial space designed for connection, reflection, and transformation.
