Cacao Ceremony: What It Means (and What to Expect)
“Cacao ceremony” appears on event listings more and more — often with very little explanation. Here’s the short version, so you know what you’re actually booking.
In most cases, a cacao ceremony is a guided group session where participants drink cacao together as part of a calm, reflective experience.
It isn’t just a drink, and it isn’t usually a social gathering. The cacao is part of the structure, alongside meditation, music, movement, or quiet reflection.
Seated in a circle or on mats, cacao served in small cups, followed by guided meditation, music, sharing, or gentle movement.
Most cacao ceremonies run for about 60–120 minutes, including time to settle in at the start and a gentle close at the end.

We’ve created a dedicated reference page explaining what a cacao ceremony is, what usually happens on the day, how long sessions last, and why formats vary so much.
If you’re skimming listings: a cacao ceremony usually means guided reflection with cacao as part of the session — not just a drink, and not a social mixer.
