Sacred Cacao Ceremony and Sound Journey

Cacao Ritual

The Food of the Gods. 

The cocoa plant emerged in mesoamerica around 1900 bc. in the coasts of the gulf of mexico, with the olmecs who were the first to cultivate it and discover its flavour in the form of a drink mixed with water; later, the use of cocoa spread to the mayan populations (600 ad) and aztecs (1400 ad).

The cocoa seed or grain contains theobromine, an alkaloid that stimulates central nervous system, so that when consumed it produces a sensation of well-being, acts as a mild diuretic and relaxes blood vessels and softens muscles.

Sacred cacao medicine is use by the mayas and many other cultures from the American continent. cacao is 'the food for the shift'. An indigenous myth tells us whenever the balance between humans and nature becomes threatened, cacao comes from the rainforest to open people's hearts and return us all to harmony.

The spirit of cocoa is one of the most powerful deities in Mayan cosmology, They called him "Ku-Ku" which means Sacred above the sacred.

A tradition of thousands of years, bequeathed to us by our ancestors accompanied with shamanic healing chants, is the door to make a trip to our interior and open our hearts.

Programme:

ceremony starts at 4pm until 7pm:

*copal cleansing: smudging

*opening of ceremony by Don Santiago

*serving of cacao

*Meditation, sound journey… and dance.


Join our Cacao Celebration £25

***heads up note: many antidepressants do not mix with the tryptophan and mao (monoamine oxidase) inhibitors in this cacao… 

google your medication! – i have seen some very painful migraine headaches...

We will meditate the fist part of the ceremony in silence and darkness, for about 20min to 30min. We will then bring the light back to the space and the sound journey will begin. We will sing and drum and dance.

The ceremonial and ritual use that our old olmec grandparents make of nature is linked by our cosmovision and culture related to the environment in which they live and, in general, about the place they occupy in the universe.

Currently, the use of nature/plants for ceremonial and ritual purposes persists in the indigenous peoples and local communities of mexico.

The conception of the sacred remains fundamental to the bond between humans and divine beings.

Healing Benefits of Sweat Lodge Ceremonies

Mental Healing - it frees the mind of distractions, offering clarity.

Spiritual Healing - it allows for introspection and connection to the planet and the spirit world.

Physical Healing - it can potentially provide antibacterial and wound-healing benefits.

The sweat ceremony is intended as a spiritual reunion with the creator and a respectful connection to the earth itself as much as it is meant for purging toxins out of the physical body.

This ceremony is also an opportunity to connect to our ancestors to heal and give gratitude as often we carry past traumas that have been passed to us through our family lineage. The elders often said that the sweat Lodge is “the place where we remember who we are”.

Find out more about Sweat Lodge:

The Sweat Lodge is a place of spiritual refuge and mental and physical healing, a place to get answers and guidance by asking spiritual entities, totem helpers, the Creator and Mother Earth for the needed wisdom and power.

SOAK – School of Ancestral Knowledge

Through our gatherings and ceremonies, many people feel the call to go deeper.
This is why we created SOAK – School of Ancestral Knowledge — a space dedicated to sharing authentic ancestral teachings with integrity, respect, and continuity.

SOAK works directly with authentic teachers from Mexico, carriers of ancient lineages and living traditions. These teachings are not theoretical; they are lived paths rooted in relationship with nature, the elements, and community.

One of our main teachers is Don Santiago, a Mazatec elder and carrier of the Olmec tradition — one of the first civilizations of the American continent. His teachings are grounded, humble, and deeply connected to the natural world.

Course Announcement – Spring 2026.

The Flight of the Eagle

4-Day Ancestral Immersion | Spring

This spring, Don Santiago will be visiting us to offer a 4-day immersive course called The Flight of the Eagle.

This course is designed for those who wish to:

  • begin or strengthen a spiritual path rooted in nature

  • establish a living relationship with the four elements

  • walk with more balance, clarity, and presence

  • support their physical and emotional wellbeing through ancestral wisdom

The Flight of the Eagle focuses on the foundations of walking a conscious spiritual path — learning how to listen, observe, and align with the natural forces that sustain life.

This is not a quick fix or a belief system, but an invitation to remember ancient ways of living in harmony with nature.

If you feel the call to learn with authentic elders and walk this path with respect and commitment, we invite you to connect with us.

Send us a message to receive full course details and book your place.

Spaces are limited to preserve the depth and quality of the teachings.

Teotlalli The Elements and Cacao Ceremony: The first steps of the Nawal

Nawal were men believed to have magical powers.

The word Nawal means The power that I create/generate 
A Nawal is a person that creates/generates his own reality, someone that is responsible for himself. It has nothing to do with this mythical magical person that shapeshifts into an animal. It is someone that creates his own reality and that but doing so it makes other people see that reality that he is creating. A Nawal is the one that possesses the knowledge of himself and creates his reality. 

Discover the art of invoking the energy and powers of the Elements. Delve into the unique characteristics of each element, learn how to connect with them, and harness their energy. Explore how to channel this power and integrate it into your daily life, projects, and work.

We invite you to our special New Year Sweat Lodge Retreat at Inti & Waira House, where we will hold separate ceremonies for men and women-creating safe, sacred spaces for each to express, heal, and open up beyond the restrictions often imposed by society.

Why Separate Spaces?
In many Indigenous traditions, it is recognized that men and women each carry unique energies and wisdom. By gathering in gender-specific circles, we honor the need for safe environments where everyone can share openly, process, and support one another in deep, authentic ways.

🌿✨ *SPECIAL INVITATION FROM COLOMBIA TO THE UK* ✨🌿

Dear UK community,

We warmly invite you to a *unique experience* with two Colombian soul siblings arriving from the heart of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta: *Pachamagda* and *Rafasemilla*.

🌱 *Pachamagda* travels with sacred cacao from the *Arhuaco community*, ancestral wisdom keepers from the Heart of the World.

She is also a teacher of movement arts, specialized in Afro-Colombian and African dance, rooted in the syncretic legacy of our mestizo heritage in Latin America. Her dance is *medicine*, a gateway to connect with the Earth, open the heart, and awaken spontaneity and vitality.

🪘 Alongside her comes *Rafasemilla, keeper of rhythm, drums, and sacred songs from **Colombianísimas—his original medicine music inspired by the jungle and tribal ancestry. Together, they co-create **Cacao Tribal Dance*, a ceremony merging cacao, drumming, chanting, and ecstatic movement.

🍫 We will drink *sacred cacao from the Sierra Nevada, sing together, dance with the Earth, and step fully into the **present moment. Let your **inner child blossom*, move freely, and offer your dance as a prayer to the unseen realms—inviting the blessing of the waters that nourish the land.

🎁 *Early bird tickets available now!* From £20

(Open to deeper contributions to support this sacred cacao project and our artistic path)

🧉 *IMPORTANT:*

Please *reserve your spot in advance* so we can prepare the right amount of cacao and hold the space with care.

Summer Purification Lodge Ceremony: Fundraising for Palestine

  • Berkely Farm (Inti & Waira House) (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Dear Relatives,

I am organizing my next Sweat Lodge ceremony and I am committed to doing my part to help the Palestinian cause. I am currently finalizing the details with friends who have experience with fundraising events and are familiar with organizations doing impactful work on the ground. All the money raised from this event will be donated to charity.

Our prayer will be for both Palestinians and Jews who are victims of the current Zionist oppression. In the Sweat Lodge, we learn to pray for all our relations. Before entering the lodge, we bow our heads and say, "For all our relations!" This means everyone, without exceptions. We are all accountable for what is happening, as it is unfolding right before our eyes, and sooner or later, we may also be affected.

The elders say it is the time of a new dawn, a rebirth of humanity, and we all have a role to play. Everyone can contribute according to their circumstances; every little bit helps. This awareness and awakening are lifelong commitments that we must pass on to the next seven generations so they can continue the rise of a new earth. It is not just Palestine; many atrocities are happening worldwide.

Love you all,
Rafael Ayala Silva
