Frequently asked
questions

  • Do I need any prior experience with breathwork or cacao ceremonies to participate?
    No prior experience is necessary. The ceremony is designed to be accessible and deeply beneficial for both beginners and those with more experience in breathwork or cacao ceremonies.
  • What are the benefits of combining cacao with breathwork?
    Combining cacao with breathwork can amplify your emotional and spiritual journey, offering enhanced clarity, profound inner peace, and a stronger connection with your inner self. It can also improve mental focus, reduce stress, and facilitate emotional release.
  • Is the cacao used in the ceremony safe for everyone?
    The cacao used is pure and ceremonial-grade, which is generally safe for most people. However, if you have allergies, heart conditions, or are taking certain medications, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider beforehand.
  • What should I prepare or bring to the ceremony?
    Wear comfortable clothing and bring water, a yoga mat or cushion for sitting, and an open heart. You may also want to bring a journal and pen for recording insights or experiences.
  • Can I eat before the ceremony?
    It's recommended to eat lightly 2-3 hours before the ceremony to prevent discomfort during breathwork and to allow the cacao to be more effectively absorbed by your body.
  • What can I expect to feel during the ceremony?
    Participants often report feeling a warm, euphoric sensation from the cacao, coupled with emotional release and heightened awareness from the breathwork. Experiences vary, with some feeling deeply relaxed, while others may encounter vivid visualizations or insights.
  • Is there any follow-up or integration process after the ceremony?
    After the ceremony, participants are encouraged to reflect on their experiences and insights. Integration can involve journaling, sharing experiences with the group or a trusted friend, or practicing mindfulness to incorporate the ceremony's teachings into daily life. Further sessions or support may be available to deepen your practice and understanding.
  • What happens if I don't feel anything during the ceremony?
    Experiences during the ceremony vary widely among participants. Some may have profound emotional or spiritual experiences, while others may feel subtle shifts or even nothing at all. Each experience is valid and can offer insights or benefits over time.
  • Are there any follow-up practices or activities recommended after the ceremony?
    To integrate the insights and shifts from the ceremony, participants are encouraged to continue self-reflection, meditation, or journaling. Engaging in nature walks, gentle yoga, or creative activities can also support the integration process. Staying hydrated and eating nourishing foods can help ground and stabilize your energy post-ceremony.
  • What if I have a strong emotional reaction during the ceremony?
    Emotional releases are common and encouraged during the ceremony. Facilitators are experienced in providing a safe, supportive space for participants to express and process their emotions. Remember, this is a healing process, and allowing these emotions to surface is part of the journey. How many people are usually participating in a ceremony? (How long is the event?
