8 Steps to creating your own Cacao Ceremony
1) Meditate with a cup of Smile Cacao and visualise exactly how you would like the experience to be/feel for your guests. Allow any visions to show themselves to you. Where will it be? How many people feels right? What theme would this group really benefit from? What tools will best support them?
2) Pick a date (or series of dates) and time to hold your ceremony.
3) Secure a venue such as a local park, forest, beach, café, community centre, yoga studio, a local art studio or even your own garden. If you are planning an outdoor location, make sure you have a backup plan!
4) Choose a theme for your event if you wish to include this in your promotional material. It’s not necessary to have a specific theme but if you choose to, the options for themes are endless! Another way to incorporate a theme is to invite guest speakers to share their expertise and skills as part of your ceremony. Here are a few theme ideas that may inspire you:
– Ancestral healing
– Chakra cleansing
– Connection
– Creativity
– Dance & Drumming
– Drawing
– Eye gazing
– Gratitude
– Human Design
– Intuitive decision making
– Light healing
– Menstruality
– Money stories
– Moon cycles
– Passion & purpose
– Power of manifestation
– Self love
– Setting boundaries
– Silence & Stillness
– Surrender
– Solstace
– Sound healing
– Understanding Akashic records
– Your Goddess Within
5) Promote your event.
- Create flyers (canva.com makes it easy!) to post up around your local areas.
- Yoga studios, community centres, local shops and libraries are great places to ask.
- Create social media images to share online and create a booking link on either your own website or a ticketing platform such as eventbrite.com or trybooking.com or simply ask for RSVP via email or phone.
- Share the event with your friends and community both online and locally and ask them to share with anyone else who may feel called to come.
6) Organise supplies for the ceremony. Ensure you allow plenty of time to gather your supplies together. You may need to order some items online, so allow for varying shipping times.
a. Order your Ceremonial Cacao here
b. We love these cushions for comfy seating
c. A lovely touch is a beautiful mandala centrepiece
d. Sage and Palo Santo cleansing bundles
e. Essential oils for cleansing the space. If adding essential oils to your cacao (we recommend Cardamom and Wild Orange), make sure they are food grade. We recommend purchasing 100% pure, food grade oils.
f. Ceramic cups made from natural elements is a beautiful touch to a sacred ceremony.
7) Plan the flow of your event in line with your theme. See “how to run a cacao ceremony” for ideas on how to create a the ceremony that flows beautifully.
8) Hold the vision that came to you in your meditation of how the ceremony will feel. Keep revisiting the feelings to gently remind the universe of the incredible space you will hold as you lead up to the ceremony. Enjoy the part you are playing in helping more people connect to the spirit of cacao, to their ancestral wisdom, to each other in community, to their hearts, their souls, their minds, their spirits and ultimately to the energy of love.
