About Ritual Cacao

How Ritual Cacao started On the 20th December 2012 in Palenque, Mexico, I drank Ayahuasca outside of Peru for the first time since my fourteen year apprenticeship in the Peruvian Amazon with my Shamanic teachers. The Ayahuasca told me that I was to bring Cacao back to the West to use it in Sacred Ceremony, just as I had been doing with the Ayahuasca. I gave away all my belongings and packed my rucksack with 21 pounds of Guatamalan Cacao and headed back to London. There was no one leading cacao ceremonies in London, so I had to dive into the deep end, and offered a traditional plant-based ceremony based on the principles and experiences I had learned during my Ayahuasca apprenticeship. I am proud to have inspired the important Cacao movement that is now sweeping across the UK. Many practitioners are using it as an addition to what they offer, such as sound healing, movement, dance, yoga. It is a versatile plant medicine that brings a depth of healing to any modality. However, I work with it in it's traditional form and take people on a Shamanic journey to meet the Cacao Spirit so they can find their own inner answers, clarity and guidance. As more people become aware and open to exploring new ways of feeling better I see Plant Medicine ceremonies and the use of Shamanic processes growing and becoming more mainstream and accepted, as an important healing modality.
