🌿 Cacao Ceremony at Our Retreats: A Sacred Opening & Closing Ritual
Discover how cacao ceremonies open the heart and deepen your experience at our Morocco retreats. A sacred ritual for presence, clarity, and connection.
💫 Why We Include Cacao Ceremonies at Every Retreat
At every Nella Retreat in Morocco, we begin and end our journeys with a sacred cacao ceremony. This heart-opening ritual allows participants to ground, release, and connect – with themselves, the group, and the land.
✨ The Meaning Behind the Ceremony
Cacao is more than chocolate. It’s a plant medicine used for centuries in indigenous traditions to:
Expand the heart and mind
Invite emotional release and clarity
Deepen meditation and spiritual connection
Strengthen group bonding through shared presence
By integrating this ritual into our retreats, we create sacred space for transformation from day one – and a meaningful closure before returning to daily life.
📍When Does It Happen?
We host the cacao ceremony:
🌅 On the first evening – to set intentions and energetically arrive
🌄 On the final day – to seal your journey, give thanks, and integrate
It’s accompanied by gentle movement, music, meditation, and journaling under the desert sky or in our traditional riads.
💭 Participant Reflection
“I had no idea how emotional this would be. The cacao opened something inside me – and brought me closer to the other women in the circle than I ever expected.”
— Elena, Switzerland

❓FAQs: Cacao Ceremony at Nella Retreats
What does cacao do spiritually?
Cacao is known as a "heart medicine." It softens emotional walls, enhances clarity, and deepens presence – without altering consciousness like other plant medicines.
Do I need experience for this ritual?
Not at all. The ceremony is fully guided, inclusive, and deeply grounding – ideal for first-timers.
Is it safe to drink?
Yes – we prepare ceremonial cacao with care and mindfulness. Let us know if you have a heart condition or are on antidepressants so we can advise you.
