Sacred Plant Medicines

What is Cacao?

Cacao is chocolate in its raw, purest form derived from the cacao bean and served in liquid form. This sacred plant medicine has been used in ceremonial contexts for thousands of years across Central and South America.

Benefits of Ceremonial Cacao:

  • Opens the heart center and increases blood flow
  • Releases emotional blockages
  • Facilitates forgiveness work (for self and others)
  • Helps access deep patterns stored in the unconscious
  • Supports stress relief and emotional balance
  • Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
  • Detoxifies and boosts immune function

What is Hapé?

Hapé (pronounced "ha-PAY") is a powerful sacred medicine used for thousands of years by Indigenous tribes of the Amazon and other South American cultures. This powdered snuff is made of medicinal herbs and sacred tobacco, administered through the nostrils.

Benefits of Hapé:

  • Releases physical, emotional, and spiritual dis-ease
  • Opens intuition and psychic awareness
  • Realigns and balances your energy
  • Connects you with your heart
  • Develops self-forgiveness and compassion
  • Grounds and roots your energy

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ceremony right for me if I've never experienced plant medicine before?

Absolutely! The Cacao & Hapé ceremony is a gentle yet profound introduction to plant medicine work. Cacao is considered a "heart opener" rather than a psychedelic, making it accessible for beginners. Hapé is optional, and Kelsey provides thorough guidance throughout the experience.

Is Hapé administration required?

No, it's completely optional. Many participants find it beneficial, but you can still receive tremendous benefit from the cacao and sound bath alone. The ceremony is designed to be supportive regardless of which elements you choose to participate in.

What should I expect to feel?

Experiences vary widely. Most participants report feelings of openness, emotional release, clarity, connection, and deep relaxation. The ceremony creates a safe container for whatever arises. Cacao typically creates a gentle heart-opening sensation, while Hapé can bring mental clarity and energetic release. The sound bath often induces a meditative state.

How should I prepare beforehand?

Arrive on an empty stomach (no food 4 hours before). Stay hydrated and set an intention for your experience. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before and after. Wearing comfortable, layered clothing is recommended as your body temperature may fluctuate during the ceremony.

Can I attend regularly?

Yes! Many find that regular ceremonies create a cumulative healing effect and become an important part of their ongoing spiritual practice. Each ceremony offers a unique experience as you continue to deepen your relationship with these medicines and your own healing journey.
