Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and creativity? Join us for a unique event that combines the heart-opening power of cacao with the joy of crafting beautiful lanterns. This transformative cacao ceremony and creative lantern crafting experience promises to be a memorable occasion filled with connection, intention, and artistic expression.
In this blog post, we will explore what you can expect from the cacao ceremony, the feelings that may arise as you indulge in a high dose of cacao, and the benefits you can gain from participating. Additionally, we will guide you through the enchanting process of crafting your very own lantern using a glass jar and various supplied materials. Let’s dive in!
The Cacao Ceremony: What to Expect
The cacao ceremony is much more than drinking a tasty beverage; it’s a sacred ritual deeply rooted in tradition. Upon your arrival, you will be welcomed into a warm and inviting atmosphere, filled with the rich aroma of cacao. The event will include a guided hypnotic meditation, setting the stage for your personal journey, leading you into a symbolic Soul Path Journey — through the “Hall of Mirrors” and the “Crossroads” — where you’ll be invited to release old patterns and glimpse the new path emerging in your life.
No previous experience of meditation or journeying is needed — simply bring an open heart and a willingness to explore.
As you savour the high-dose cacao, known for its heart-opening properties, you may feel a wave of warmth throughout your body. Many participants report sensations of connection, euphoria, and heightened awareness. In fact, studies have shown that consuming cacao can release endorphins, boosting your mood significantly. You might find yourself laughing, crying, or simply basking in the moment as the cacao works its magic.
This ceremony is designed to help you release old patterns and embrace new possibilities. By the end, you may feel lighter, more grounded, and ready to take on life with renewed purpose.
The Benefits of Participating
What can you expect to gain from this transformative experience? Here are four key benefits:
Emotional Release: The cacao ceremony creates a safe space for exploring your feelings. Participants often share experiences of releasing past traumas or connecting with their emotions more deeply. For example, one participant shared how the experience helped her cry for the first time in years, leading to a sense of relief.
Connection with Others: Sharing this journey with fellow participants fosters community. You will bond with like-minded individuals, potentially forming lasting friendships. Feedback shows that around 85% of attendees feel a greater sense of connection after the event.
Heightened Creativity: The heart-opening effects of cacao can boost your creative flow. Engaging in the lantern crafting afterwards allows for artistic expression that many participants describe as liberating. Many leave with not just a lantern but also new ideas and inspirations to explore in their daily art.
Mindfulness and Presence: The guided meditation and intentional practices throughout the ceremony promote mindfulness. This teaches you to stay present, which can benefit your daily life in numerous ways, including reduced stress.
Crafting Your Lantern: A Creative Journey
After the cacao ceremony, it’s time to unleash your creativity! This hands-on activity allows you to express yourself artistically while creating a beautiful lantern to brighten your space during the winter months.

The Crafting Process
Prepare Your Workspace: Find a comfortable spot at the crafting table and gather your materials. Lay out the glass jar, paints, and any decorative items you wish to use.
Design Your Lantern: Before painting, envision your design. You can choose a simple pattern or intricate designs that capture your style. You may prefer to let your design emerge organically as you create it.
Paint/Decorate the Jar: Using the brushes and paints/materials provided, apply your design to the glass jar. You can create a stained glass effect by layering colours or opt for decorative papers for added texture.
Add Decorative Elements: Once the paint dries, it's time to embellish your lantern. Use twine to wrap the jar’s neck, or attach ribbons to give it a whimsical touch.
Insert the Tea Light: Finally, place the tea light inside the jar. When lit, your lantern will cast a warm glow, perfect for cozy winter evenings.
