Cacao Ceremony for Women and raising Funds for Emma’s Cancer Care

A cacao ceremony is a heart-opening ritual in which we enter into a deep, loving connection with Mother Earth. Cacao, also known as the drink of the gods and goddesses, has a history going back thousands of years and is a traditional part of many cultures around the world. Worshiped as the drink of the gods by the natives of Central and South America, used by Aztec soldiers as a stimulant, drunk by European monks for fasting – right up to the luxury food and cacao bliss of today.

The effect of ritual cacao can unfold in a very profound way. From relaxing to euphoric, the fruit can be therapeutic as well. By “working” with the spirit of the plant, emotional blockages can be released and self-knowledge and personality development can be supported.

A cacao ceremony helps us to strengthen the connection to ourselves and others. It is said that cocoa has a heart-opening effect and shows us exactly what is important in our development. In addition, cacao increases access to intuition, inspiration, creativity and life itself.

All Profits for Emma’s Cancer Care Fund

Anyone lucky enough to know Emma will know her as a loving, caring, supportive and super amazing friend. You will also know her for her unique upbeat, passionate and positive attitude to life.

Emma’s dedication to her personal wellness has always had to go above and beyond, with multiple and varied ongoing health issues stemming from a genetic connective tissue disorder.

After a long journey, Emma finally received a shocking diagnosis of Stage 4 Ovarian and Uterine Cancer with Malignant Ascites, which limits conventional treatment options.

We would like to help the Manser family raise funds to help seek alternative medical intervention to give Emma the best possible treatment opportunities. Therefore, we decided to organise a cacao ceremony for women and will pass on all profits from this event to Emma.

If you would like, you can also make a love donation by sharing this with family and friends and make a donation to her fund raising page.

Preparing for your Cacao Ceremony

Before the cacao ceremony, you should prepare your body for it with a short fasting unit. To do this, avoid eating 3-4 hours before the ritual. However, make sure you drink enough fluids.

Bring comfortable clothing that will keep you warm and allow you to move freely. Please bring pillows, blankets, yoga mats, ... basically anything that makes you confortable and warm. You are also welcome to bring a notebook with you. Please avoid wearing perfume or aftershave, speaking loudly or otherwise distracting other participants. During and after the ceremony there can be moments when we feel a bit vulnerable. So make sure to give others the space they need during and after the ritual.

For whom is Cacao not suitable?

Due to the increased caffeine content, consumption of ceremonial cacao is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. If you want to drink cacao and have concerns, I recommend talking to your doctor. Furthermore, the consumption of cacao for children in ceremonial doses is not recommended.

Can Cacao cause side Effects?

Yes, side effects can occur, but they are rare. Cacao draws water out of the body. This can cause headaches. Due to the natural caffeine in cacao, restlessness and sleeping diffilculties can occur. Mild stomach cramps or nausea are also possible, but rare. All of these side effects can be minimized or avoided altogether with proper handling. Basically, I advise drinking a lot of water after the cacao ceremony. If you have trouble sleeping, I recommend not drinking cacao 6 hours before bedtime. If cramps occur, this often has energetic reasons. It is recommended to relax into the rising feelings here, deepen your breath and let the feelings flow.
