Experience the Spirit of ixCacao Ceremony

Rooted in ancient Mesoamerican traditions and infused with African soul, the cacao ceremony is a heart-opening ritual of remembrance, presence, and connection. Guided by ceremonial-grade cacao, we gather in sacred space to attune to the wisdom of the heart—through stillness, sound, and shared intention.

Cacao is a sacred plant ally that invokes our conscious connection to the heart and the essence that is everything—Love. It gently bridges the heart, mind, and body, awakening us to our wholeness and the beauty of being deeply present.

In Lara’s ceremonies, the spirit of cacao meets the spirit of Africa. As a South African with years of personal practice and devotion, she weaves ancestral reverence, earth connection, and Eastern philosophy into each ceremony.
