Ceremonial Cacao

"Chocolate is a divine, celestial drink, the sweat of the stars, the vital seed, divine nectar, the drink of the gods, panacea and universal medicine."

My Story with Cacao 

Radha is a devoted cacao lover who's worked with cacao for over a decade. She was one of the first people to start offering cacao ceremonies to New Zealand. Radha encountered Cacao served in ceremonial context back in 2012 while living in its native lands of Central America. It was love at first sight and her relationship with the spirit of this superfood grew as she learned how to prepare the drink from the tree to the cup. Radha has explored and participated in various ceremonies facilitated by shamans, healers and friends in Mexico, Guatemala and Peru, before she started facilitating ceremonies herself in 2014 in Europe and 2016 in New Zealand. An experienced space holder, she loves sharing her passion for community, authenticity and self-knowledge in combination with the cacao spirit.

Today, Radha offers public and private cacao circles, one month online cacao immersion program and yearly in-person facilitation training.
