July New Moon Cacao Ceremony

Cacao is a powerful plant medicine, readily available (and legal!)in the West.

The warm nature of the cacao plant - and it’s distinct flavour- makes it perfect for ritual use. Cacao has been used in healing for generations in South America.

In this ceremony we begin situating ourselves in the landscape. You will be lead through simple ritual and song (easy to join in, and optional!) whilst getting a sense of the beautiful location. Once you have met the trees, we meet each other and share a bit of why we are here.

Then we head inside, set an intention, and lie down in comfort for a guided journey. This is a chance to rest, connect to cacao, and spend time communing with your own inner wisdom.

It is good to approach these events with an open attitude free from expectations. We run our events around the new moon , using the inward lunar energy and preparing for a new month ahead.

Cacao is a natural stimulant of serotonin, the body’s ‘happy’ biochemical that helps us balance our moods and open our hearts (literally - it naturally widens the blood vessels). It is not psychotropic, it won't cause hallucinations.

If you are pregnant, have a pace-maker or are on anti-depressants please contact the organiser. You can still join in, but we take your care seriously and we will likely suggest a small, ‘homeopathic’ dose of cacao.

Camilla has been running cacao ceremonies for 6 years, but has been a teacher, facilitator and meditator for 20. Camilla lives on land her family have cared for since 1790 and this connection is a powerful one to share.

The aim is rest, through comfort and delight, so come with sturdy shoes, layers suitable for the weather and your favourite blanket/cushion/mug.
