Medicine Women’s Cacao Alchemy

This month is a special edition - a longer ceremony for a deeper connection with Mama Cacao in her wild & native form from the valley of Chazuta, Northern Peru. For this special ceremony, we are being held in the stunning and serene House of Alcheme.

Our Medicine Women’s series is here to honour the medicine that exists within us all. We share, and weave our wisdom, creating containers of safety, freedom and feminine flow. We will journey with Mama Cacao Medicina as a very gentle plant medicine, calling on the support of our beloved Pachamama and the natural forces who are here to support us and love us unconditionally.

Next date: Sunday 12 October - 2.45pm to 6.00pm

Please arrive at 2.45pm to be greeted and shown to your place. Our ceremony will open at 3pm sharp.

About our Heirloom & Native Cacao in Ceremony

There is a world wide shortage on cacao at the moment, a reminder that this sacred plant medicine deserves to be honoured with intention and reverence.

I will be serving Morning Ritual Heirloom/Native Cacao grown in the area of Chazuta in Peru. This is a single origin cacao, meaning it comes directly from the one farm where their sustainable and biodynamic farming methods can be verified. This family farm also grows turmeric, maca, and macambo (white cacao). This particular cacao bean is a native heirloom variety, unlike the majority of ceremonial cacao grown in Peru which is actually native to Guatemala.

Chazuta is a a small town in Northern Peru at the edge of the Amazon Basin Peru and nestled in the foot hills of the Andes. This Chazuta cacao is planted, harvested, fermented, dried and milled using delicate methods with love by Family Casa Qoya Peru.

We will journey with Mama Cacao Medicine during our evening, where we connect deeply to loving energy that she provides us. Her energy is warm, rich, nourishing, graceful and deep. She will take us on a journey back home to ourselves, with the loving support of our Animal Spirits, Ancestors and Guides.

This high vibrational, yet gentle, plant medicine allows us to connect with Pachamama and aligns us with our own sacred nature.

Our evening brew will be the Chazuta cacao blended with raw local honey and additive-free coconut milk.

I'm so honoured to share her with you in sacred ceremony!
